Excellent idea! I wish I could have inspiration from reality but here in London you'd think that autumn is already arrived

Anyway here's the n00b at the beach:

Yes, please people, no bombs. I am not prepared to die for this event. And what would become of my little noseless, mouthless creations? They would perish, I tell you. PERISH!

Ok, RPin and krytos55, i saved your submissions, they will be up in the next update (as will be everyone who e-mailed theirs in and got a reply from me). Which brings up a point I have been meaning to mention: If you send me something, I will reply to let you know I got it. If i don't reply within a few days, then send it again because I didn't receive it.

And the previews are lookin' good folks. Can't wait to see the finished versions.

Er, I didn't send any bombs...maybe boobs, though. People like those.

Hey, great response from everyone! Send more, more, MORE!

I might even get away with not submitting anything.

I worked on this a bit. I couldn't figure anywhere to put Gary though, just just pretend he's taking the picture.

I e-mailed it also.

Hahahahaha....no.

Maxim Kovalenko, yours will be up in the next update (along with all those who e-mailed them). The site will be updated tonight when I get home from work.

BOMC · Post by **BOMC** » Mon Jul 19, 2004 10:15 am

The site has been updated once more.

I know that won't stop most of you from drawing bikinis anyway, but this is just so people who like Ryan are for some reason afraid of their drawing potential don't feel like they can't contribute.

Jeez. Harsh man.

Fine. Just because you called me out, I'll find my damn pencils and draw you a submission. But I'm telling you, if it starts raining frogs or blood starts dripping from my walls, I'm blaming you.

Foreshorten?

...What's that mean?

This is a preview. However, I may just submit that in itself, because I don't really have time to color it. Dang it!

*stare* You know how to do it, but you don't know what it is?!

Foreshortening...let's see if I can explain...when you view a character from a certain angle...let's take your picture for example. It really looks like you're seeing it from that angle.
Say you had a character holding their hand out in front of them, with their arm fully extended, and if you were viewing it from the front, it would look like it was partially covering the face. Your ability to make it look like that, without elbows sticking out, or the arm angled downward, that's foreshortening.

That made no sense...I can't explain it. I guess if you can do it that well, it really doesn't matter if you know what it is. ^^

That's when you allude to something that you plan on shortening later on.

Like a hem on your skirt? Or your hair?

Exactly. A good example of forshortening would be if you were talking about how your cousin just got a hair cut and that it looked great and you wished your hair looked like that. Then, say a week later, you get a hair cut from that same that place your cousin did.

AHAHAHAHAHA! Linguistics jokes!! Hoooooweeeee!

Soap: nevermind, I will keep drawing and maybe someday I will be able to do it without looking at 10 different references. Btw, the Feyanne's right calf has been foreshortened very well, as well as her right forearm.

So it's a perspective technique?
