@Herr D- Not sure about how exactly the hair/ clothes thing is meant to work. I like the idea of a pet looking at them, that could be feasible, if hugely fiddly. I had to look up the song you referenced, I’m not all that up on INXS tbh.
@Stulte- I know, it’s annoying that I can’t find a way to make her look more relaxed. I may have to do major tinkering to get that to work. The main thing I think I’d need to change is the left hand, that looks the most awkward. Thanks for the complements also, I do try.Anyway, whilst I’m working on the Morning pic, have something I threw together in about half an hour. I got a little flash of inspiration and managed to get a sunset picture with two figures watching the scenery. No prizes for guessing the two characters in the pic though, even if they are in silhouette.
Just a quick note, if anyone else want to have a go at doing Lili and Danni, I’d love to see it. I love seeing other peoples interpretations of my characters, it really helps with the inspiration (just go back to the earlier pages of this thread, back when I used to have a redesign contest in the Art Contests And Challenges section).
@LPR- Cheers dude
@Herr D- That made me laugh and I can totally visualise it, but I highly doubt I could put down the picture I have in my head on Heromachine.Anyway, I need to ask y’all for advise again on yet another duo shot of Lili and Danni that I’m working on whilst I try to figure out what I’m gonna do for Danni’s solo pic. As with The Kiss, I’m mostly happy with their poses, it’s just the peripheries. For reference, it’s a birds eye view shot, the bits that are greyed out are the room walls and on the final piece there will be a window on the side wall letting light into the room (and obviously there will be shading). But at the moment I need help filling it out, because I can’t do the carpet the way I did it in the last picture because the perspective is screwed up and I think the pic looks a bit empty as it is.
Also if you want to make suggestions for improvements on the characters in the pic, go ahead. All input is highly welcome.
Also, I may end up making the pic a widescreen showing the whole room, so that would include stuff like wardrobes and a computer desk, maybe a vanity (that’ll be fun to design *said unenthusiastically*). So if y’all want to suggest other random clutter that I can include, that would help.Thanks guys.
@Nug- I was going to do a crossed legged pose, but I find it an easy pose and I use it more often than this sitting pose, so I thought I’d try something different.
As for the HoF thing, that happens whenever Jeff feels like it and he sometimes asks for nominations, but most of the time he just puts in whatever he feels like, which is his right considering we’re all basically messing around with his artwork. And anyway, as cool as it would be to get one of my pieces featured, I don’t think I need it to be honest, I’d like to think I’ve left an impression anyway
. It’s kinda like the Power User Profiles. Back when I first really started paying attention to the blog side of heromachine and not just the character creator, I’d always think how cool it would be to do a power user profile, because that was the mark of being someone in the community for me (and if you look at it back then, you were talking about the pioneers of what have now become some of the standard techniques, people like Hammerknight, Kaldath, AMS, SeanDavidRoss, Zyp, DiCicatriz etc.). But by the time I really became involved in the community, it just sort of mattered less, because of the comments I got from those people I looked up to (I’m gonna have to single out AMS here again, because I wouldn’t be half as good as I am now without his help, teaching me how to shade and showing me some masking techniques). It’s the same with the Hall Of Fame, yeah it’d be cool and a couple of years ago I’da bitten your hand off to get in, but I’m ok atm.
