Badniks & Bosses Art

Ahh, okay. Hm. So I think I'll "show love" for the Whisp
Amaze you, well, yeah, I hope I will, but let's see about that first :P Maybe I completely overestimate my drawing skills and/or my skills with Adobe Illustrator and such and it turns out horrible. Hope not, though. I'll do my best.

[EDIT] Dammit! I want my drawing tablet

I'll be honest and say that I feel something is off about it, but I don't want to spend another hours oggling at it trying to figure out what it is so I'm posting it to see what you guys have to say.[/quote]Looks amazing, but I've just noticed that the antennae looks like it's coming from its eye, instead of the top of its head.

 

Wow, I never looked at it like that. I try and fix it.

 

Again, I would like to apologize for my absence. I've been occupied...I will try to bring something new next week...
As for Whisp, I've actually drawn him before for a wallpaper.


Hes pretty easy to do and wouldn't take that much time to be honest.

 

Noooo but I wanted to do the Whisp as soon as I get the time to actually set up my tablet again and all

Gah...

which probably means this weekend.

For the record those are currently 8x the original size (I do my work on a bigger scale) so about half the size of what you did should be enough.

I know the original Buzzer shot only has two frames of animation, but I think it'd look better if there were one extra frame added in for good measure. For the third frame, I think it would look nice if the white of the flame were set to the right side and slightly higher than in the first frame, while also being larger than the first frame's white and smaller than the second flame's white. The animated shot would then cycle, not oscillate (1-2-3-1-2-3..., NOT 1-2-3-2-1-2...).

Unless, of course, we want to make it appear as though it is flashing and not flaming.

 

Sure, but we're trying to make just the original frames first.

 

Here's the .ai file for my unfinished drawing of coconuts

If anyone can do a better job of the body than me, then go ahead. I really don't have the time to do this at the moment sorry guys!

 

Incredible! I loved the little red ball at the end of it's tail, awsome work!

 

His body seems too long, or is that the other animation frame? Also, his red shoulder...I don't know if you based that on the official art or not. Looking awesome!

 

Yes Rika, I think the original he put there was another frame =P.

A lot of weird stuff going on with the eye, first of all. The angle of the eyelid seems a bit off, and the pupil is too squashed (it ought to be more circular). The screws on the dorsal fin should be a bit closer to the body, and the side fin's tailside edge should not curve towards the back like that. The glow on the body should be bigger. Finally, the teeth should be bigger.

Agreed on all points except for the glow. As for the side fin, that all determines whether you interpret that red under the fin as part of the shading on the fin itself, or part of the underside of the actual body. I don't really have a strong opinion here.

As for the glow, I'd say the glow is perfectly colored compared to the original. The problem is that the rest of the red part of the body isn't as dark as the shading on the original.
