[El Stormo]

Seems familiar. Is she a comic book character?

Nope, it's one of my own characters - but someone familiar modeled for it. I used a reference, but since it's my own character, I deviated from my model. I'm going to change some more things around, eyes and mouth in particular, but right now she's a thinner-lipped version of Adriana Lima.

 

[Malergion]

From what my shitty spatial ability can judge, you did a great job so far.

 

[El Stormo]

Thanks, but just to clarify: she's not supposed to look too much like the model

 

[Malergion]

Ahh, no, I meant with respect to human facial proportions, etc.

 

[Bacchante]

Latest, started out as a bit of a joke, but I carried on with it nonetheless:

Aaaaaaaah! I saw this and showed it to everyone in the room. We are all thoroughly impressed with this one...it's my new favorite!!

Amazing contrast...and you did a great job at using a single light source. Keep it coming, grooowl!

 

[Bacchante]

I just noticed the gem- like item on her arm with smoke coming off it, aaah! Hooray for small details!

Thanks. I had to up the contrast and lower the gamma to get the blacks as deep as they are now, which ruined a lot of the quality, though

The male Overlord also has this gem -it's used to send and call back minions.

 

[Shpongled]

Been feeling very Shpongled lately. Maybe I just imagined what I saw in the clouds

 

[Cat5Messiah]

That's pretty badass, Kevin. Blends in really well.

 

[derek]

Yeah dude, totally ace and very Shpongle.

Here's a photo I took recently as a tribute to Kubrick's Clockwork orange:

I love the new WIP Stormie! Of course we give a shit, don't make me knock you on your butt.

Vera! <3 that picture is awesome.

Heh, yes ma'am!

Worked on this some more.

 

[El Stormo]

Finished! Paper was damaged, hence the vertical striping. I might fire up Painter to get rid of those, but for now, I think they have a certain charm. What do you guys think? Touch them up or leave them as is?

First person to guess where I got the inspiration for the hair wins 5 Internets.

 

[Anvil]

Tifa?

And it looks pretty fuckin' awesome man!

 

[El Stormo]

Errrr... Tifa has hair down to her waist, dude. No Internets for you

And thanks

 

[Tide In Mind Out]

Street Fighter?

 

[Malergion]

Red Sonja?

 

[El Stormo]

Street Fighter? No, which character would it be then?

(and don't say "Guile"! )

Nope, no Red Sonja either. Weird, I thought it was obvious...

 

[Malergion]

Tina Turner from Beyond Thunderdome?
