Artist's Comments

(Bloody enough to be of mature content? I'm sceptic)

One of my first ever Photoshop-only digital artworks! I know it looks unfinished without a proper background but I would just have fucked it all up by adding a shitty background with my experience.

Been sittin' around for like two or three hours with this. Layers are a god damn pain to get into, so I skipped it, more or less.

A little practice-pic; A soldier (Sergeant? Don't remember the rank-thing, kinda just picked a rank out of nothing) wearing "Desert-Camo" gear is hit in the chest, or possibly the heart, I'm tired. Some mistakes and a little too smooth coloring on the clothíng, but hell I love the results :D Since I'm a extreme newbie with digital stuff only using my scrappy optical mouse I certainly got blew away by how easy this was to master, though it took some sweet time.

I might do some furry art now when I feel a little more confident with the colorings, just for the sake of doing a little updated pic of my character and everything.

Why didn't you add a Background? I think a black one would do perfectly :D
Besides, I like the anatomy and the pose =) Perhaps you could add some shades to the "sides" of his arms and chest, to make them more 3D...

I just think the background would look too scrappy since my ability for perspectives ain't the best, though I had intention to do an explosion a little further behind the houses or something, but I found the explosion to be a little hard to do as I got a bit too lazy.

And thanks, I'll think of the shading a little more next time around, I might scrap something down tommorow if I got the mood, but then I hope to do something Anthro :D Thanks for the comment'o!

It looks really awesome!
you should do more pics on photoshop. Backgrounds are pretty hard and i'm not that great with them either.

YAY! It's sooooo great to see your artwork in digital style. :D
I must say that I admire how you make those shading.
Nice details and looks pretty realistic as usual. :)

Whoo, good to see some digital art from you. ^^ For a first try at the media, much kudos on the shading. Especially only with a mouse! There's a nice amount of detail and texturing here. As for crits... Did you use layers for the linework? If not, I'd advise that. It could generally use a bit more cleaning up - if you have the patience, I think Photoshop's pen tool is quite useful for going around that sort of thing in vector. The background's a touch confusing and looks abstract, too - if it's meant to be that way, maybe using a different colour to white as the base would help the overall tone. I think the visor here looks great, though; nice use of contrast.

It'd be great to see some furry-related stuff from you, too. ^_^

Haha, jag tänkte mig inte för hur jag skulle skriva och det blev i huvudet "Ganska bra för att vara av dig". Men det lät lite fel, eller hur XD
Öh... Ja. Jag är imponerad. Jag vet inte riktigt vad men många saker ser riktigt riktigt bra ut...
Måste du göra en perspektivbakgrund då? Kan du inte ta nåt med svart, riktigt mörkgrått men inte helt svart och bara nån form av sangrön rand eller nåt X'P

Det uppfattas lätt lite mindre konstruktivt ja, haha. Och jaaaa, jag måste göra en perspektivsbakgrund eftersom jag alltid sätter för höga kriterier på mig själv så när jag inte nåt upp till dom blir jag emo :lol: Om det bara var en bild som på någon av mina "furry" karaktärer skulle jag kunna slänga på en liten simpel backgrund samtidigt som det ser hyffat ut, men nu går det inte eftersom då förlorar bilden "djupet" eller handlingen, men det blev ju så nu iallafall :O

Tackar för kommentaren i vilket fall som helst :D

Ja, du måste iaf göra en bakgrund för det där ser inte bra ut heller.
