mindgames Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I've been writing for a little over a month I guess...just some shit. I was originally just going to write 'destroy' just to practice letters, but I ran out of room. I know, my 3D and shading need work. What I write. Just something 'simple'. I'll post a pic of my throwies later. Oh yeah, I know I fucked up with the C. I wasn't sure on how I should write it, that's why it's so light incase I wanted to make changes or w/e. Comments & crit. please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkstrscralactica Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 the T on the dest is a little too big, and i think you might want to change the p it blocks out too much stuff and to dropoff, for the second one, there's too much thickness variation in the letters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_nightcrawler Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 until you perfect simple letter formation, dont try wildstyle. I know you guys wont take that advice, but ill just say it one more time. I might reach out to one toy out there. that toy can make a difference..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackFlux Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Yo quadra thanks for the advice. I plan to re-sketch it in my blackbook and then I am going to digitize that beast. @dropoff, I like what you are doing. You're on the right track and the orange and blue one is looking real smooth bro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 LENS' date=' i understand completely about simple and stuff and i'm gonna do it, but it just seems so wierd how you do simple and then one day it just picks up and you get the hang of fancy stuff - how do you know when you should change from simple to more wildstyle? how long did you do simple before getting good at the fancy?[/quote'] that's a tough one...I guess it all really depends on your comfort level with simple letters. I would say that when you are really comfortable with simple letters and you're bored as shit with'em, start tweaking them out little bits at a time....here, lemme show you something..... here's an old blackbook page.... See the simples i have at the top that aren't so simple? Go with little changes to the simplicity without going overboard. It says "Here we go!" but as you can see...."Go" looks like shit because I got cocky. But "Here We....." is a good example of tweaking the simple letters enough so that you begin a progression of sorts. And I was always better at doing characters than letters. A lot of you are drawing these half assed D&D characters to spice things up. Lemme tell you....a poorly executed character is just as a bad as using way too many bubbles, stars, arrows, etc....... As I said before, drawing a big fucked up character next to your letters is saying "Well, my letter forms suck so let's hope this character balances it out....oh, wait, it doesn't, it just makes things look worse" Imagine if you had a really bad outfit on for the night and you wanted to draw attention away from that by having a girl with you....but said girl is ugly as fuck so it just makes your outfit look even worse. My letters on a whole aren't terrible but not great either. My strength lies in the characters I can bust out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyie Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Girlfriends name. The top part, and some of the stars bother me now that im finished >=( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 ^^^ yesh.......the stars on the outside look decent enough but look at the contrast of those solid black stars to the rest of the pencil grey lines......where do your eyes go first? What gets focused on immediatly? yes......the little black stars do it over. Get rid of that shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 My number one piece of advice to you guys.....don't give up. I would love to show you some of my earliest efforts just so that you can see i was once at this stage too......so were all the greats. There's a few of you that might be the next Saber, Revok, Totem2, Daim, etc...... lens has faith in you new jacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kasd1 Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 stay simple right. Tell me if I'm doing this ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I like the KASD in the arrow and the one on the bottom......both are good examples of keeping it simple and gradually tweaking it out..... And for christs sake you guys.....stop writing shit like "I SUCK!" or "Please forgive my toy efforts" next to your artwork.....aight? Remember, you should practice your characters in step with your letters.....both can be used to real good effect when they are on the same level as one another.

Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 outline, then color. i find a fresh sharpie marker with a good sharp point makes for the best outliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunm Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 P.S. yea this was a drunken 2 minute sketch if it wasnt already obvious. :scrambled: :D Alcohol is no excuse...there is no difference between what you do sober and what you do drunk.
