August Fades (NSFW)

[fade]

I missed posting this last night. Just a rough Fade sketch. Now that I've changed jobs, I should have time to actually draw Fade. I just need to get my art stuff down here. I'm living in a hotel room by myself until our house sells. So please forgive the iPhone shot. I don't have a scanner right now.

No one ever suspected the Sixpackshaker's testicle would abandon him.

Least of all the Shaker.

Now, he's back, and his gun ain't the only thing he's carrying to the left.

The Sixpackshaker is

I think I'm going to do a forumite a day.

And by "do" I mean "have sex with".

 

[Gusto]

Awww yisss.

Huevo Ranchero is a great subtitle and I wish I could like it twice.

 

[fade]

Curious if stienman would be offended if I drew him as a pimp Joseph Smith with his arms around multiple wives all flashing wedding rings as bling, while wearing the golden plates on a phat chain around his neck.

Also, reading up on this, I wonder if the corrupted Palantir was inspired by the seer stones...

 

[David]

As someone with a largely Mormon family, I would find that hilarious.

 

[fade]

Sorry...away from drawing supplies until monday. Will resume ASAP.

 

[fade]

Wait... nevermind, I found some pencils and paper. And a scanner!

With apologies to one of the nicest guys on this forum. I hope this doesn't offend you too much, Gusto:

The Miller family Christmas card explains a lot...

Which led to some difficulties years later...

Boom, roasted.

This one is silly, but I was doodling some more.

 

[LittleSin]

Damn! Your demon is twice the demon that mine is!

 

[Cajungal]

Dang, Fade. Impressive, as always. And that last one cracked me up.

 

[fade]

Thanks. Wish I'd get more feedback on these things.

Made a poster for Fade.

 

[LittleSin]

That is an excellent promo poster! If I had to nit pick one thing it would be the large amount of empty space at the bottom.

 

[Biannoshufu]

Are you just hateful of ink?

or does it scare you like a vagina shark?

I ask, because pencil can give great tone, but blah black. India ink totally rocks tones and can give great, juicy black. (esp with a brush, but even with a rapidograph set ))

i may have asked this before, and if yes sorry, I've forgotten. It tends to fade away.

 

[fade]

I was afraid vagina sharks might exist. The movie "Teeth" confirmed every fear I had as a teenage boy.

The truth is that I am terrible at inking. I inked at first, but I kept ruining the pencils. I have tried pens and brushes. I love the look of a brush....when it works. But when you screw up brushed ink, it looks horrible.

Sin: I meant to put "WIP" on the post. I have plans for the bottom, but I got tired.

 

[drifter]

Tracing paper over the top of your pencils and practice your brushstrokes?

 

[Gusto]

I'd certainly be interested in seeing you try!

 

[Cajungal]

I like pencil drawings, personally. If I could, I'd give feedback, but what I know about art you could fit in a gnat's ear... and there'd still be room for other stuff.

 

[fade]

I filled in the bottom, and threw on a level adjust layer, too.

[Gusto]

Incredible!

 

[Biannoshufu]

the thing about the pencil works is that I'm not sure if the smears are intentional, or just a tired hand? But it detracts. Anyway, shutting up now.

 

[fade]

The smears are kind of intentional. I always liked the sort-of aged look they made. It was laziness at first, but then I started doing some of it on purpose. You guys suggested putting a piece of paper down and some commercial products, but I never did either as you can see.

I just realized Shegokigo never said a word about the devil girl.

At your suggestion to Gusto, though, I did some speed sketches tonight. Less than 5 min each, always keeping the hand moving. I was drawing from some stuff a better artist than me did, who frequented the same art forum on which I met fennewalde.

 

[fade]

More speed sketching. I tried the girl from Gusto's thread.

A weird piece of scanner fuzz is on her eyelid, making her look like a zombie. Her eyes are supposed to be closed like in the reference, but it looks for all the world like she's looking upward nastily.

 

[Gusto]

Well you did better than I did, certainly. I really like it.

 

[^___^]

Draw what you see, not what you know.

 

[fade]

I appreciate the advice, and I'm not sure I completely agree with that sentiment. I think it depends on the objective of the drawing.

 

[fade]

Another speed sketch. ~10 minutes.

 

[Cajungal]

I'm not seeing enough nude guys from any of you talented folk.

Seriously, though, very nice. That girl lying on her stomach is probably my favorite.

 

[Gusto]

I'm not seeing enough nude guys from any of you talented folk.

Buh, alright. I'll see what I can do.

 

[Cajungal]

YAY! I'll consider it an early birthday present.

 

[fade]

Really? Nothing on Vader? I was actually pretty happy with that one, and thought you fellow geeks would eat it up. It's okay fragile art ego, have some cake. *sniff*

 

[Shegokigo]

I have NO idea how I kept missing this thread!!!
@Post #2 - Maybe I've got goblins on the mind but I get a "goblin child" staring out a window, thinking if he'll ever see another of his kin, while his kind human guardian looks at him, assuring him that he will.
@Post#3 - That moon is pure win. I can't even describe it any other way!
@Post#4 - That first pic is fantastic. I see it like some weird alternate reality where androids with no faces live lives like ours, as seen in that X-Mas card!
@Post#5 - Maybe it's my ego but I freakin love this pic. It's going in my "Fade Folder". Don't believe me?

To show a couple that I've saved over the years. Post#5 is definitely being added to that list.
@Post#6 - Combining two of my favorite things? Joker + DBZ??? Most definitely an awesome pic!
--- More critiques to come!
