Description
This is my very first piece with my brand new Copic Sketch markers! Angela is an awesome character and I've been wanting to draw her properly ever since I did the Ratchet and Clank girl headshots!
I had such fun with the background! Those protopets are so cute, even when they're angry. I got a free Pale Yellow which I chose because it's quite a discrete background colour, I think it goes well.
What do you think about Angela Cross? Do you think she should be in the next reboot, if there ever is one? Comment below, I love chatting about Ratchet and Clank.
I am featuring your Angela Cross pictures below, so feel free to link to your own or other people's work of her!
Feel free to point out anything that bugs you, but please be nice about it.
I welcome submissions into groups and what not.

I wonder if they're scared they'll screw her up
They need to employ some hardcore fans

Insomniac Games screwed their storyline big time! That's why I put Angela in my fanfic series, to prove that Ratchet is not the only Lombax living.

this is amazing!! I love how your use of monochrome colouring makes the piece look a little 3d with the shading also the yellow background makes her stand out a lot and I think it works really well
super awesome piece!

ah awesome I really like the style
aww you XD I try to make my comments positive ones, sometimes people just pick faults with things and whilst its good sometimes if its constructive feedback sometimes all someone wants is positive note on how good their drawing is so thats what I tend to do, whilst giving the occasional constructive feedback

oh you think so? I find that sometimes my comments can be boring because sometimes there just a few words and not much feedback but I try lol plus I dunno I don't like seeing people pick faults in things too much, especially if its just all negative because how is someone supposed to improve? so I try to be positive whilst still giving a little feedback ^^

You're kinda in between. Plus you're my friend, so I don't mind some criticism every now and then.

Can't believe I forgot to comment on this earlier.
But dang, you've improved a lot over the past couple of months! Your shading is getting really good and I like what you did with the line art. If you want, I could give a more in depth critique on what I think is good and what could be improved on, but only if you're up for it! ^_^
Also, since you brought it up in the description... YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I WANNA SEE ANGELA RETURN. ANGELA IS A BOSS AND DESERVES A RETURN. Okay, but in all seriousness, if they do go the route of rebooting GC as well, it'd be pretty cool to see her again. Given that she's pretty popular among fans, I see no reason why they would omit her in a hypothetical reboot. Especially with how important her character was to the plot of the original game.

Haha, thank you!
I'd love a few pointers. I notice mistakes after drawing something, but I could have missed stuff and I'd love the extra help.
I know, right? I'd love to see her in HD and she just wasn't present enough throughout the franchise. But I liked the little mention in ACIT. x3
A lot of the female characters are quite popular, and I think it's because they just don't appear enough or aren't given enough importance.

Chronokinetics In reply to xTH3Mx [2016-11-09 07:45:07 +0000 UTC]
Alrighty! I'll do my best to explain what I see. If you have any questions about what I mean by anything, feel free to ask!
So firstly, I love the usage of thicker and thinner lines on her head! However, I feel that maybe the lines on the part of her helmet around the ears should have been a bit thicker to give them the illusion of being closer to the viewer than the ears. Thicker and darker lines typically mean something is closer than something with thinner and lighter lines. The ears themselves are really well done though! The thick line at the beginning of the ear slowly becoming thinner as it gets closer to the tip looks very good!
Next is her neck and shoulders. Necks are typically not perfectly straight and have a very small outward tilt to them. The neck also should look a bit closer to the shoulder that she is tilting her head towards. There is also a bit of a bump between the neck and shoulders and generally there is a bit more curvature to the shoulder. I'm not 100% sure how exactly to explain it, so I drew a quick sketch of Angela to hopefully make it clearer what I'm trying to say. sta.sh/011tpstw0fh7
Moving on, the torso looks a bit odd. Her boobs are a bit saggy looking despite her being only a young adult, and one side of her torso looks perfectly flat. As well, her belt doesn't seem to wrap around her waist. Again, I'm not entirely sure how to put it into words, so hopefully the sketch gives a vague idea what I'm trying to get across.
The shading is honestly really good! The only complaint I can think of is that there should probably be a little bit of shadow on her neck since her head would probably make a bit of a shadow. Also her tongue should probably have a bit of shading towards the back of the mouth. Aside from that, the shading adds very nice contrast and really makes the entire picture feel that much more three dimensional!
Going back to her making another appearance, I agree! It's pretty sad that despite the popularity of most of the R&C ladies, only Tal really seems to appear in the main series. And even then, she's only played a major role in ToD and ItN so make of that what you will. Hopefully future games will have more little nods to the other girls though! Or maybe even another former leading lady returning for a new installment!

I saw this yesterday, sorry for the late reply!
I'm so happy you went all the way to actually making a sketch, it is really handy!!
For the lines, I've been told they get thicker when there's shadow and thinner when there's light... but I guess I didn't think about also thinking about using them for distance!
Thanks! The ears are probably my favourite part, and the only thing I'm kinda okay with.
The neck tip is very true, it might be a bit too thin and straight. But some styles don't always depict the muscles in the neck that create that bump.
On the other hand, I agree about the shoulder. Since it's a blade, I had a lot of trouble making it look rounder and had to draw it many times.
Oh, God, her boobs. I spent AGES on them and I only realised after I uploaded it that they weren't even the same size!
I think her left boob is especially messed up and in need of support of some kind.
And yeah, the torso was a big problem for me, too, I'm really bad at anatomy, since I always draw heads, all the time.
Huh, I hadn't noticed the problem with the belt, but you're right!
Thanks so much for the tips and the sketch, it really helps a lot.
Would you like me to critique something of yours in return?
Yeah, the girls need a lot more attention. x3 I don't even like Talwyn all that much.
Huh... are you talking about Sasha?

ChaoticDan In reply to xTH3Mx [2016-10-19 19:04:56 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, there is so much potential there, it was a good swerve that they did when she was revealed to not be the villain at all, and looking more badass without her mask on, you wonder why Ratchet didn't end up hitting on her and instead focused on Sasha in the next game.

ChaoticDan In reply to xTH3Mx [2016-10-20 18:37:35 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, you'd think she'd take his offer for it, especially since we know that Lombaxes are endangered, in their dimension at least.

xTH3Mx In reply to ChaoticDan [2016-10-21 14:35:02 +0000 UTC]
I think Ratchet was too young to be thinking about anything like that.
It didn't seem to bother him until the Future series.

ChaoticDan In reply to xTH3Mx [2016-10-21 16:44:17 +0000 UTC]
That might be true, actually did they ever mention his age at all in the original games? I don't think they did.

xTH3Mx In reply to ChaoticDan [2016-10-24 20:13:04 +0000 UTC]
Not in-game, but if I understand correctly, Ratchet was 15-16 during the first trilogy.

ChaoticDan In reply to xTH3Mx [2016-10-24 20:50:27 +0000 UTC]
I guess age would be a factor, I always had the impression that it was due to her towering over him, I guess he likes shorter girls. x)

Thank you!
The protopets were in the second Ratchet and Clank game (as well as Angela).
At first, they seemed cute, but it turned out they were actually evil.
Knowing this in advance, Angela tried to stop them from being sold.
