The line going through his hair is from something else I started. Sorry

A possible change in style at hand here? Actually, I looked at a Rogue Galaxy ad and thought, it just might work. The next thing I have to look at is poses. *shudders*

Re-reading a little of my Mignola collection and got inspired to do some sketches:

he reminds me of... well, I have this James Hetfield bobblehead, and his eyes look the same. I forget the artist who designed the Metallica bobbleheads though.

I was going to type just this, and then I scrolled down and robin had already typed it for me.

The shared robin brain strikes again!

I BROKE INTO AN AIRFIELD AND NOW I'M DISGRUNTLED!

I got the shirt cheap, 4 for a buck and a stick of gum.

Kirb: todd goldman shirt!?
[00:55] CaptainClaude: yes
[00:56] CaptainClaude: it was on discount
[00:56] CaptainClaude: 4 for a buck
[00:56] CaptainClaude: well a buck and a stick of gum
[00:57] Kirb: what kind of gum?
[00:57] CaptainClaude: doublemint
[00:57] CaptainClaude: i dont like it anyway
[00:57] CaptainClaude: 1 mint is enough for me
[00:57] sput: you can't handle the mint.
[00:58] CaptainClaude: no i cant
[00:58] CaptainClaude: scientific fact
[00:58] Kirb: nobody can handle it
[00:58] CaptainClaude: scientific fiction
[00:58] CaptainClaude: I once heard of a man powerful enough to handle the mint
[00:58] CaptainClaude: a man of legend
[00:58] Kirb: !
[00:58] Kirb: what happened to him?
[00:58] CaptainClaude: with eyes burning with strength
[00:58] CaptainClaude: a heart of iron
[00:58] Kirb: did he become a demi-god?
[00:58] CaptainClaude: a chest of mackeral
[00:59] CaptainClaude: and arms like a buick
[00:59] Kirb: did he defy the gods themselves?
[00:59] CaptainClaude: he handled a mint back in '04
[00:59] CaptainClaude: after that he was never seen again
[00:59] CaptainClaude: some say he just started walking
[00:59] Kirb:
[00:59] CaptainClaude: he hit the beaches and just kept walking
[00:59] CaptainClaude: down, down into the briney deep
[00:59] • K-Dawg rocks out
[01:00] CaptainClaude: where he lives today, as king of the sea
[01:00] CaptainClaude: this was the man
[01:00] CaptainClaude: he was the one mint handler
[01:00] Kirb: I one day wish to become like him
[01:00] Kirb: this mint king of the deep
[01:00] CaptainClaude: you must eat a lot of mackeral

Bit dark to pick out the details there.

The Mortician · Post by **The Mortician** » Wed Jul 04, 2007 8:13 pm

the scene and colors remind me of the Sword Master's house in monkey Island for some reason. maybe because my old moniter was too dark and it was hard to see the details too.

It reminds me of the Monkey Island series for some reason as well.

I used to have a very dark monitor, too. It even made playing Dragon Quest V & VI and Final Fantasy V a chore.

Very nice, everyone! I especially liked the Pepsi prison sketch. Does Claude only drink Coke?

Finally, I've completed coloring my sketch. I'm not sure what else I can do to it.

I'm thinking about making other characters. I did make one in a similar style as this, though.

To Neko:
Interesting crit of a .02 sketch, (which was not intended as an exercise in realistic anatomy); I can say I really don't mind; it's posted publicly, you can say what you like. But it's just as easily reversed to 'take your own advice'... I would be more available to your ideas if your own work displayed the technical and anatomical prowess that you seem to readily expect from others.
As for sucking, that's in the eye of the beholder.

Detail is never anything you should shy away from.

Are you using a really small fontsize so that noone notices you using the worst excuse in the book?

This should clear up some of that sensitivity.
