Description So the little bitty Intuos3s at my school actually work! They only have their drivers installed on the few Macs the school has, but I'm in Independent Study, so I get to use the Macs.

The Macs have CS5 installed, which is a party, but the Intuos3s are SO TINY and I'm used to my huge tablet XD I keep trying to use my whole arm to draw, but that doesn't work so well with these.

I drew this over two class periods (3hrs total) and I'm extremely pleased with the result. I will be putting it in my portfolio.

Welp, now I have to do actual work for my class :C
------------
Adobe Photoshop CS5
Approx. 3 hrs
Art @ me

I really love CS5. The opacity jitter on the eraser is something I've been dying for, and the whole thing is so much more user friendly.

I'm jealous... Can I perhaps borrow your hands and brans so that I can draw properly?

That is a very skillfully done mech. I commend you for having the patience and talent to draw something robotic.

Thank you! Robots are really very entertaining to draw and they don't have to be complicated. You should give it a shot some time!

I probably should. I could really do with practicing mechanical things.

Mechs like this are awesome, but it makes me rage a bit. All my mechs always turn out either too chunky or too smooth. It can never get the balance right, like in this one you did.

Pythosart In reply to InvaderCom [2011-11-13 17:29:12 +0000 UTC]

It just takes practice Try working with both types and gradually including more and more angular/organic elements as you go. Or don't. I for one quite like angular mechs.

InvaderCom In reply to Pythosart [2011-11-15 02:04:02 +0000 UTC]

I like thw ones that are angular, but have a bit of an asthetic appearance.

An aesthetic appearance? I get what you're trying to say, but look up "aesthetic" and understand why that sentence made me giggle. And I mean that in the nicest way possible C:

mechs with heads like this are really getting popular i see, as now when i look at mechs i seem to see it everywhere, most are not this well done tho, good work

Pythosart In reply to Gods-warfighter [2011-10-22 04:28:02 +0000 UTC]

Well, if you ask me, they're a hell of a lot better than the impractical Gundam-style heads. Though I must say I haven't actually seen many with a head similar to this one.

Thank you C:

Depressedmuch [2011-10-20 21:13:11 +0000 UTC]

Ask Ms. Ricker if you can use the larger ones they got for the teachers, they should work a lot better, although still not up to your usual size standards, they are a bit bigger (6x8, I believe). And it is very pretty, your mechanized being. Also, yes CS5 is amazing, I'm surprised you haven't been scrounging money for it already, but whatever, try using the blending brush, it is rather interesting and takes a bit of playing around with, but since you already are good at blending your levels of color using opacity jitter and whatnot, it should work beautifully for you.

KreepingSpawn [2011-10-20 19:13:35 +0000 UTC]

Splendid.

I always forget how much ambiguity you can get away with on mechs. I think I need to spell out every little doohickey of the function, and really I can just imply it. As you've done so masterfully here.

Pythosart In reply to KreepingSpawn [2011-11-13 17:30:11 +0000 UTC]

Leave the doohickeys for steampunk XD

Also, holy shit, spellcheck thinks doohickeys is a word. Wowww I hope it really is.

Now, as long as it doesn't accept "orientated," "irregardless," or "systematize," we should be okay.
