Samus Concept Art

drew it freehand, colored w/ psp8<you can see how crappy i color>
i liked it so i tried making it into a wallpaper....came out fair
before color

after color<wallpaper>:

tell me what i could improve on

The colored version looks slightly blurred in the red areas, but my only real problem with this is a minor one - her left hand appears to have five fingers instead of four and a thumb.

paint shop pro has a bad thing of messing up its "soften" brush

I really like the sketch.

yeah... the sketch was awesome!!!

Hmmm... and the Painting is kinda blurry... but with practice you can fix that. Lots of practice.

What I would suggest doing is to go back to the original sketch file and cut the drawing out of the background and put it in a new layer... and make the lines in that layer much darker.

Then when you go to color... use the desired mid tones... and go back and darken and lighten. 1 shade of lighting and 2 shades for shading works good for me.

Then again... I don't know psp... I only know photoshop.

It really hurts the dramatic pause when all you can see in the finale is a line of red crosses. Is anyone else having this problem?

I can see it all...

and it's taken from a gaming magazine...

I still think UT2K4 is better.

i can see it too. Looks like it will be very good, though they didnt upgrade the graphics from what i can tell (though it didnt really need it! its hard to be better when you already roxor)

I like the sketch, though i agree about the hand part.

Also, the foot farther in the foreground looks like it is positioned awkwardly

still, over all, very good :D

Hey icbm do you have that game? It's soooo good.

I had the demo on my dad's laptop... but he won't let me use it anymore...

and it wont run on my desktop.
