*Gundam Wing Pic*

So, SuperDecimal was almost in tears when I spoke to him last with cries of "come back to the forum, we miss you" ha ha..SO, I decided to make an appearence.

I'm sorry I havent been updating as I should but I've been extremely absorbed in myself ^_^

but, here we go. This is something I was doodling after I took my exam wednesday.

comments and critisicm!!

Very nice theme
i like the complementary scheme
really only thing i can say is that in general you could clean it up and get us a better scan

Yes. sadly, i dont have a scanner. So, i put these pictures on my walls and take shots with my digital camera... this is the better of the developments

good job on the graphic illustration gate-hacker, there's really not much room for critique simply because you did such a good job with cleaning it an all, I see no need for furthre tweaking, messing with it in photo shop is a big no no this time, the pen/marker lines add much character to this peice.

Yes, if you notice, i used 2 different types of pens here.

the one that i did use, made the lines appear, the other pen didnt...
the one tht DID make the lines appear, i used it only where the ribbons were concerned, to try to get it look like the lines were texture... what do you think?

I loved the addition of the cross, I don't know why, but it seemed to add an element of irony in for me.
You must draw more!

That's really good! i'm impressed!! haha, anywayz, yea this a really good picture, especially how it's split in the middle. It adds interest in the picture. and the cross was a good idea to put in there. very nice, very nice.

Well, the pen that overlapped it's own marks is a tricky one, if you wanted to add texture (to the wraps I assume), then you should have coloured in a pattern that would come out more horizontal, the way you did it has much more of a column like appeance.

I wasnt exactly going for one giant thing, as, this is separate strips. you notice around the beginnings of the outsides they're all the same and then in the middle they get all jumbled up, it's because the individual strips are overlapping eachother... Like a mummy.

Yeah...... so I drew a Gundam...

Merged with you existing Art thread.

My God, you can draw James!
The picture is amazing!
Does your talent know no end?
I really can't think of anyothe things to say - it's awesome!
Please draw some more!

Thanks SD, there's more to come. The second Gundam is on it's way so keep updated.

I'm just curious (this is me after all) but when you drew that Gundam pic did you create specs for it too or just draw it? Again this is me so I had to ask.

I does look very good btw.

is the gundam picture old? I dunno, the picture on the whole seems very elementary, a lot less uniform in terms of technique compared to your other work.

It's quite old actually... As you can see the sides are slightly wrinked, the whole sheet is actually, and the paper is starting to change colors. It was just something else I dug up out of my files because a friend was talking about robots and i just happened to have one.

Specs......... if it's not on that picture then, no ^_^
