Description OMG I finally submitted some actual bloody artwork! And it doesn't even suck this time!

But yeah, seriously, summer's over, I had my school orientation just yesterday. And so I knew I needed to get this thing finished up (seriously, the lineart sat at my art desk for over a month, I wasn't sure if it was ever gonna get done). So I finally managed to sit on my ass and draw the rest of it over only a few days.

And I have to say, I think it turned out well. Obviously, it's a piece of fanart from Fallout 3, based on the character i created for my last run through the game (complete with all the expansion packs, MOTHERSHIP ZETA I LOVE YOUUUUU). I generally stuck with the metal Blaster (special laser rifle), some merc troublemaker outfits, and a trader's cap. my hair was various stages of purple and blue and green.

I reeeaaally wanted to do some artwork with an actual setting and backround, as opposed to just the character in some dead space, which my gallery is already full of. And it's a girl, which my gallery is woefully not-full of.

I think I can draw some damn good rocks.

With animation starting now I'm supposed to be drawing every day, so hopefully it won't take an entire month or two for me to submit new art. I already have some ideas for my next piece, and I know certain friends of mine have been pressing me to draw certain things (cough cough, ANNEEM cough cough).

I might even go back and colour this thing in, it could use it. especially for some sky.

There is no part of this I don't like. The linework is fantastic, of course, but the nerd in me also loves to recognize all the elements from the game. I can tell what hat and armour your character is wearing, detail that few fanartists can be bothered to include.

Hello, new favourite.

lol, thank you! I was using my own character as a reference, so i made sure to get every detail as close to perfect as i can. It's actually nice not to have to create everything from scratch once in a while XD. And i stuck in as many little fallout refs that i could, right down to the bent tin cans.

Well, it certainly worked.

It may seem odd that I favourite'd this instead of the coloured work, but I think some more of the detail comes through in this version. My eyes are forced to recognize real objects instead of just colours.

Just an FYI first; You'll want to submit this as fanart not sci-fi.

Other than that it's a wonderful piece of artwork and I really love it! I think you got the size of the laser rifle down pat and I love the details you've put in it!

Zerahoc In reply to Tainted-Petals [2010-09-05 14:53:27 +0000 UTC]

lol, I don't like fanart sections because they're full of anime. As for the laser rifle, I used that thing for hours in the game XD so i remember a lot of the detail.

Tainted-Petals In reply to Zerahoc [2010-09-05 21:08:00 +0000 UTC]

But it isn't in the proper placement and can easily be reported because of such. Fanart isn't reserved for just 'anime'.

Also: Holy art jeesus Zera, look at these mad detail skills! Like, holy crap, you're becoming really really damn good. The line weight and use of shadow here are so smart. Great work on those boots.

holy wow, you have come so freaking far since we went up against one another in DD. The shading and tonal balance in this is excellent, the composition is great and your inking's come a pretty long way too. Keep going at this pace and we'll see you up there rubbing shoulders with kubert and lee in no time.

lol thanks ^^ I should have done traditional inks for DD, I could've made it look so much better. I need to experiment more, figure out how to do everything. How do you clean them up well enough for digital colouring?

manic-pixie In reply to Zerahoc [2010-09-05 04:38:00 +0000 UTC]

I just scan 'em in at 30% contrast, and then play around with contrast settings even further, then threshhold them. If they're intended for printing, the bleed on the printer cancels out the pixellation, and it means that colouring takes half the time

you are definitely not a noob. We all learn this stuff eventually, and everyone has different ways of doing things. Most of what I know artistically was taught to me by friends on dA
