Description I haven't decided whether or not this turned out quite right, but I enjoyed messing around with the shadowy bits. It was...ah...a learning experience. Yeah.

If nothing else, I like how their expressions turned out.

I really like the smoke
Especially right at the edge of the cig.
The faces are pretty awesome

Very sharp. It kind of reminds me of a black and white mafia profile kind of piece.

UGH! Their poses are too cool! By the way, you've inspired me to do some daily inking practices. So cool. But uhhh, just remember to keep the volume of the forms under all that awesomeness! [/subtlecrit]

We should start up an inking jam up at EnterVoid. It'd be fun /and/ educational. ohohoho

*not so subtle response* Yeah, Mecid made the same point. Where their shoulders meet, there's definitely some confusion in terms of perspective. It looks like one black, amorphous blob. I definitely need to keep your crit in mind next time I attempt something like this. c:

Yeah! Inking Jam for the win! Glad you'll keep it in mind. Me too! I'll check the boards, waiting for the jam!

I like it... I can't quite figure out who they remind me of, but it's a good reminder, so...

Their expressions are awesome. There's something to be said for your line work as well.

I like the black suit shpeel. The only thing that gets me a little is where the suits meet. It makes me think Emile is standing next to Paolo (though it was a wise choice to place their feet at different levels to suggest they're obviously not.) It feels like there should be a small dash of something to suggest that they're apart.

But then again that would sort of ruin the whole black suit feel. But I'm all about ruining other peoples work. ALL ABOUT IT.

Mecid: DESTROYER OF WORLDS...AND HOPE.

Yeah, it definitely strikes me as a little off. I'm just going to claim that it's all an optical trick to throw people off-balance, thereby narrowly evading your attempt to ruin my work.

Really, though, I think I might go back and play around with the area where their shoulders join a bit.

Paolo's coat collar is wonderful.
That, and his expressions look funnier the more you improve.

Hahaha, this is good stuff. The expressions are great, and I think it looks just fine.

So, Paolo can't insult Emile without having a rosary in his hands. SO GOD WILL SAVE HIM.

Grim-Amentia In reply to Kinseth [2007-04-06 15:30:02 +0000 UTC]

The rosary's for ghosts. There's no way it would save him from Emile.

Shadows = fun. I love how their bodies are just silhouettes. Paolo's expression is great, he's dissing Emile, but he looks hurt/nervous as he's doing it. XD

That's awesome, the flats work really well and even though they mix together the reader can tell easily that it's two different people.

I always feel worried that you get the impression that I'm simply favoriting your art blindly without stopping to think how and why I appreciate this.

OMG WTF FABORIGHT!!1

Dammit your inks get better and better! You need to do a little tutorial on your digital inking methods sometime.

I like the black solids a lot, and the smoke.

Grim-Amentia In reply to Sheana [2007-04-06 05:41:31 +0000 UTC]

In all honesty, there is absolutely no method at all to my inking. Just a lot of trial and error. If I ever made a tutorial, it would be the most frustrating, incomprehensible read on site. <:E
