What Holder said, lol.
I'm familiar with Homu's older art topics and remembered some of the style and such being similar. ^^
(No worries, that's a good thing - Homu has been considered a legend for a long time, lol.)
That's Princess Zelda? How could I not recognise her?! ><
Well, I did recognise your image as an elf, or some sort, but the horns confuse(d) me. =\

OMG BACON THIS IS SO AWFUL JUST STOP-
kidding of course! man, I really dig your style. its very off the wall and it has a very japanese painter style to it. I really like your art and cant wait to see what else you bring to the table
bacon
Jul 15 2011, 01:32 PM
Holder: Thanks. I really appreciate it. Im glad that people think ive gotten better. Why are you saying sorry, there is no need to say sorry.
XMO: yeah, the are supposed to be feather things but I never did the crown. I should of done them differently. I just didn't know what else to do with her. x:
And also thanks. Yeah, Ive been sort of working with my style for quite a while and avoiding things such as manga/anime type drawing. Its cool to see different people using a sort of similar style.
Mister Panda: Thanks mister. Im trying to improve everyday. Ive never the japanese painter thing before or even heard of that, so I am going to have to look it up and see. That sounds pretty neat though.

I absolutely love the trees! They look great. =D
Nice colouring too, not really bold or bright. =]

Jul 23 2011, 09:11 AM
Thanks.
I might mess with the colors a bit more so i dont know. x:
Some people say its too dark on dark monitors~
X-M-O
Jul 23 2011, 12:33 PM
It is dark, but I like it anyway. XD
If you create more contrast, and add more bold colours (but don't make everything bold colours), then it might solve their complaints.

I love the sailor, that's a great idea!
Imagine, pirates that are actually aliens on a water vessel versus space vessels. XD
Looks like something out of a Greek Mythology book. =]

yeah I thought a sailor would be cute

OH MY FUCKING GOD YOUR ART MAKES ME DROOL. Hello~ what is this gem I've found lol. Your style is fantastic, I love the content of your work. It's a wonderfully amazing combination of psychadelic and dark. Just so happens to be my favorite combination. Ur doin it rite LULZ.
Keep up this awesome shit man

This is the kind of art that makes my eyes smile.
bacon
Aug 2 2011, 02:14 PM
Thanks everyone.
XMO and Piz: Thanks. It definitely needs some tweaking but Im glad people like the concept. My favorite concept ever is the idea of machine clashing with nature. Things such as abandoned clocktowers filled with vines to humans with robotic gears. It gets me all giddy thinking about it and a lot of my art actually consists of that.
Hom: Thanks. Yeah, Ive always been interested in the grimdark thing and try to make things unintentionally creepy/crazy looking. Its actually really cool to hear comments from you.
I really love how you do chins and how you break things down to make them all jagged. x:
Anyways, its pretty far from perfect or complete and even acceptable so I gotta finish it and chug through. IIll definitely post my progress though. ~o:

Aug 2 2011, 03:48 PM
bacon, I told you Homu would love your art.

Yeah, I think the idea of mixing nature with machinery is cool. You're doing a great job at that, and I'd like to see you work on non-human creatures that are a mix of nature and machine. (Things that could be used in a game, even.)

yeah this is something ive always wonted to do
those scenic pictures with the tree and cave are actually side scrolling mockups and ideas
(and a way to help me learn to paint x:)
I might actually make that a theme for my hypothetical game~
thanks for taking interest c:

its a little simple
working on boss concepts and ideas
I really wanted the boss to clash
coloring is super sloppy
X-M-O
Aug 4 2011, 07:01 PM
Looks pretty good. =]
What is the boss reaching for? Or just an example of arm's length?
bacon
Aug 4 2011, 09:13 PM
The idea is that there are 4 platforms and 3 gaps and the boss tries to trap you in between the arms so that the head can attack
eventually once you do enough damage the arms will start coming for you
X-M-O
Aug 5 2011, 12:29 AM
That's pretty cool. So I'm assuming this is a 2D game?
Also cool, I prefer side-scrollers versus most of this other junk that comes out. XD

I love your art Bacon. In fact I'm redecorating my room soon and would love to print some of this and stick it on my wall with your permission. >.<
You have such a unique style. I do think your works in progress are better than the finished works though but that's just my head being weird >.>
bacon
Aug 30 2011, 12:46 AM
thanks guys
hopefully i can get better at painting one day
and wyatt i am sure there are a billion better things drawn to stick up on your walls~
and i like my WIPs better too because they arent colored terribly x:

I absolutely love the second one! D=
Very unique art there, and very cool. ^^
The first and third images are pretty cool too.
Like how the first one has two teeth missing and is pouring its brains onto the other head. >:3
bacon
Sep 2 2011, 07:24 PM
Thanks
yeah hopefully I can refine my coloring a little bit more
Im basing my techniques off of a few different artists and combining them hopefully everything works out~
also thanks for commenting on every single piece I have done x:

Based off of a character that Hirei made

5 color palette challenge~
X-M-O
Sep 2 2011, 07:37 PM
You're welcome. ^^
I should probably give other people a chance to comment, eh? XD
I just admire different forms of art, so I like to be there looking at it and talking about it. =]
I love these two new updates!
More colours than a lot of your previous works.
The five-colour palette challenge is neat, for that reason but also because the hair looks especially good on it! the mixture of those colours in the hair gives it a really neat appearance. ^^
The image, based off of a character made by Hirei, is really a cool idea. I sometimes wonder how it would look if a certain artist were to "re-art" some artwork from a different artist. This is a prime example of that idea, and it works well - gives a different perspective of a piece of art. =]
In a way, it's like viewing a gallery of artworks made by various artists but everything in the gallery is based off the artists' expression/meaning of the same thing.
Well done, by the way. =]
bacon
Sep 3 2011, 02:28 PM
thanks
yeah Ive been secretly working on coloring and stuff
color has always been a hard art spot for me so I gotta mend the bridge
and yeah i was just playing around with hirei's character
in a silly/creepy way
thanks again

I FUCKING LOVE YOUR ART.
You're inspiring me bro, looking at your art absofuckinglutely inspires me. It's one thing to have skill, but you have a killer wild imagination to boot, so your work is pure pure brilliance at it's finest.
bacon
Sep 12 2011, 02:45 PM
XMO: Thanks. That was the vibe I was going for. Its sort of like a propaganda poster~
Hom: Thanks. I still dont think I have mad skills but I am still learning and stuff so hopefully one day I will~
I didnt think I inspired people either so thats pretty cool. Thanks. c:
Homunculus
Sep 12 2011, 03:50 PM
As an artist you should never feel like you don't inspire others! You have NO idea how inspiring your art is. It's brilliant. The content you draw just blows my mind away, a crazy imagination displayed on paper/screen makes my eyes smile from pupil to pupil.
bacon
Sep 21 2011, 10:58 PM
Thanks Hom~
Im just always drawing away i guess i didnt think i inspired people

im done with this
there are so many errors but
i am killing myself it isnt worth it

Sep 22 2011, 08:23 AM
Thanks XMO and The Shadow. Yeah I was definitely shooting for kind of creepy but I dont know how well that came off.
this is one of the first times ive sat down and legitimately colored (with light source and stuff like that) so there are some super technical errors but oh well~

Your style is pretty spicy, I like the way you use strong lines to create textures and the creepy tone. Keep it up yo

Sep 27 2011, 03:02 PM
Thanks. Yeah ive been working on doing texture by hand i am not a huge fan of premade textures and would rather just make my own.
And yeah I also like creepy toned things. Thanks.
I havent had a lot of art time but hopefully Ill pop something out tomorrow or whatever~
