Haemophages and other cutscenes..., (Need a feedback!!!) Options

[Jens of Zanicuud]

Hi everyone,

I'll treat this topic as a sort of "garbage collector" in which I'll post some of my game's cutscenes / pictures in order to get some feedback.
At the moment I need some feedback about this.

You are free to give feedback about the old pictures, but I'd like to know something about the newer one

Thanks in advance

I'm working at Tryadine Effect Project by November 2011, but never really designed how Haemophages (i.e. monsters which appears in the game) could look like.
A couple of days ago, I was hitten by an idea and drawn this creature.
1.

[Show/Hide] Haemophage

Then, I wasn't satisfied and slightly edited it.
2.

[Show/Hide] Haemophage (reissue)

What do you think of the picture? What was the best one between the two?
I'd really appreciate to receive some comment...

I had some problem too with Day 3 ending cutscene.
In your opinion, what's the best picture between those three:

1.

[Show/Hide] Drawn with Paint.NET, coloured with Paint.NET

2.

[Show/Hide] Drawn by hand, coloured with Paint.NET

3.

[Show/Hide] Edited Cutscene

Thanks in advance,

Jens

I dont know how every artist does it but for me, just doing basic sketches help me improve. I wouldn't worry about things like coloring. In order to fix a lot of the anatomy issues you just have to restart and redraw. Maybe instead of focusing on one piece at a time you should try maybe just mass producing stuff and practice blocking stuff out. As for the Noctiphage, like XMO says its an imaginary creatures, but at the same time it seems that it too wasn't blocked out.

When you color you use a 100% opacity brush and you paint. Don't use the burn/dodge tools. Its easier to learn about shadows if you just do black and white pieces with no in between shades; just pure black and white.
The drawing look rough prob because you are scanning them in and then coloring them. Not only that, it look like you are using a mouse to color (which is really really difficult most every artist that draws digitally uses a drawing tablet)! In my opinion, the best way for you to improve is just to do some paper drawing, scan them in, and just post them here. Start doing doodles and basic people blocked out correctly. You'll start getting all fancy and shit and before you know it you will be x10 better.
