My concept art: judges needed!

[Quilty]

A firend and I have this idea for a survival type game in the vein of King of Dragon pass but based on WW1 with a dash of steampunk but without any kind of fantastical events or beings. We'll be handling the coding together, though he is more proficient at it than me. I'll be working on art, so I've done some very rough preliminary sketches. Their purpose was to get the feel of the art we are aiming for. I'd love it if you could leave a comment or even a suggestion or maybe racofer could shoop SMA's face all over my stuff. By the way, all of this is done by hand, then shooped a little to clean up the mess. If anyone has any protips, I'd love to hear them.

 

[Jools]

They look pretty neat.

 

[circ]

Proportions and anatomy are fucked up in some, lines could be cleaner, or rougher, pick one. Good shading and decent detail otherwise.

 

[Vaarna_Aarne]

Aside from a few mistakes in anatomy, it's got a nice Mike Mignola reminescent style to it.

 

[Berekän]

They look pretty nice, aside from the aforementioned problem with the proportions in some I don't like the contrast in detail in some of them.

Like in this one, the face looks great, but that plain suit just kills it a bit for me.

Also, what's that yellowish mark over all the pics?

 

[Phelot]

They remind me of GURPS illustrations.

 

[OminousBlueDot]

Glorious is the light of the scanner, dear Berekan.

The important thing: all are most consistent.

Some of the line art seems heavy and the shadows over-large. Much the same issues that others have mentioned.

I like them; If you're to use them in the small scale (portraits, say), the errors in anatomy and heavy lines will work in your favor.

Now if only my sketches turned out as well ..... but we'll not venture there.

 

[Khor1255]

They are kind of reminiscent of political posters of the era. If that's what you were going for, bravo.

 

[Quilty]

Thanks guys, yeah the anatomy's screwed up in some of those, and the yellow mark is from the scanner. Forgot to remove it, my bad. The suit on that bearded guy isn't finished, it's just there to ground him a little, so it isn't a floating head. In any case, thanks for the feedback.

 

[Destroid]

I was immediately reminded of Screw-on Head, which I believe is Mognolia, and you should definitely watch the pilot if you have not.

 

[oscar]

Looks cool. Do complete it.

 

[Berekän]

I thought modern scanners detected the size of the paper and automatically removed the extra space.

 

[DwarvenFood]

yeah "modern".. at least it passes as a bit of bloom. I like the gfx reminds me of Gin Roh the wolves brigade and a bit of syndicate with tall, thin figures in long (trench)coats. (the flamer dude)

 

[Quilty]

I thought modern scanners detected the size of the paper and automatically removed the extra space.

It's a pretty old Epson scanner I got for free when I bought an MP3 player about 6 years ago, so it's definitely not top quality.

 

[CrimHead]

Looks awesome.

 

[SimpleComplexity]

Looks good enough. Are you planning to color them or leave them black n'white because that would be a shame. Straight colors in the same style as the ink would be the best here.

 

[ghostdog]

I like them, with a bit more work, on some aspects already mentioned, they would be awesome.

 

[Quilty]

Looks good enough. Are you planning to color them or leave them black n'white because that would be a shame. Straight colors in the same style as the ink would be the best here.

Yeah I was thinking of maybe just filling in the parts that aren't in shadow with some very simple colors, since I don't really have skills required for figuring out different shades and whatnot.

 

[Mastermind]

The utter lack of monocles is an embarrassment.

 

[Unradscorpion]

It has a nice comic book feel.

 

[Quilty]

Here's another sketch. I tried to pay more attention to proportions and perspective.

[OminousBlueDot]

[Obtuse] Is that a giant revolver half-buried in a field, a telescope, or an artilery piece?

Most win, by the by.

 

[Baron]

Artwork looks great, except maybe flamethrower. Love the one armed soldier. Publish your damn game in unfinished state so these can be avatars.

Show chick for your Codex bros, bro.

*limbers up for fapping*

 

[grotsnik]

And to think I almost didn't click on what, at first glance, looked like a Prosper thread.

These are groovy, Quilty; some of them are crude, but all of them have character. The masked bloke with the long revolver looks immensely cool.

 

[Baron]

Yes, I thought it was a Prosper thread too and almost avoided.

Sorry too for threatening to fap to your girlfriend Quilty, if that's you, and her. Along with thinking it was a Prosper thread I thought I must be in /gd/ Please excuse my attrocious behaviour but pls post your gf in /gd/. Artwork looking good.
