GIANT ROBOT

[Helm]

uh unfinished just want a little critique before I go on. I oversharpened this small version, so try to think of it at 50% less unsharp mask. I'd just like to point out that this is just practise work.

"practice work"

fuck you >:

It's very aesthetically appealing, i like the roundness, very humanoid. I'd hit it.

[EisigerBiskuit]

Did you draw that picture and put it through a filter? The bottom left is clueing me.

I love it because I love Mech Warrior, and mech warrior has rocket launching machines, like your picture

[Helm]

filter

unsharp mask.

You're not one of the smart ones, I take it.

And thanks, ninja.

I think he meant the cutout filter; He thinks you made a detailed picture, then ran it through a cheap gay filter in PS to make it look unfinished or something.

He's still retarded, just in a different way than you originally thought.

[ScruU2wice]

I'm doing nature vs. technology for my AP concentration so my eyes are automatically set to seeing more of the human features of this.

It almost looks like a person in robotic armor to me because of the little exposed bicep. I can't visualize unsharp filters because I don't use too many of them in photoshop but I think toward the bottom the positioning is getting confusing like which way the torso is facing and it's relationship with the upper body, but I think you'll fix all that up when you finish it up. I like the more organic colors with the red contrasting, and the big thing behind the neck because it balances out the big square missile ridden shoulders which otherwise would have a miniscule head and blank space. Can't wait till you finish it.

[EisigerBiskuit]

goddamn, youre mean :(

[Ninjavenom]

No, he's just pointing out things that need to be fixed, which is what helm asked for in the first place. Definitely a good call on the torso placement, though. The bottom half seems like it needs a little rotation to properly line up with the axis or spine or whatever of the robot, unless you were going for a mid-rotation look, like it's turning to deliver massive death to that old granny in the station wagon just offscreen.

[Captain Goodtimes]

I think EisigerBiskuit meant what helm and chojin said about it.

That's Rockin', Helm.

[Matt Harty]

I like it.

[Helm]

yeah thanks for the in-depth critique

[DeadKennedys]

I like it, except for the legs. They look muddy and like you got tired of drawing and just said fuck it. Anyway, the rest is amazing.

[MetalMilitia]

very nice but i think these places need a bit of work.

[Helm]

So um, your daddy kicked your mother a lot in the stomach while she was having you, eh

[hawaiian mage]

DOOOOD, HELM! MALITIA IS RIGHT!!! THOSE CIRCLED PLACES ARE ALL BLURY AND SHIT!! IT LOOKS LIKE IT NEEDS SOME WORK THERE!!

BUT THE TOP IS RAD.

RADICAL THAT IS!

[Driscoll]

I like the shoulder mounts, and the right hand is great; it looks like some sort of loader to the compartment on the right shoulder. I also really like the left shoulder and the detail you put on the rocket case.

Niiiice work. It reminds me of Front Mission. :)

[Helm]

Yeah actually I started doing this right after finished Front Mission : Gun Hazard so extra points for you.

[DamnthatDavid]

I hate you artists... you make it look so freaking easy.

[subterfuge]

You have a cool painted style. I can't get digital paints to look non-smooth.

Are you gonna put him in a post-apocalyptic battlefield background?

[Helm]

I was thinking of going with the scaring grandma with walking aid idea

[Supafly345]

I have nothing to say, but since I am under the dilusion that people care about my jabber, I am going to post anyway.

Front Mission? You obviously copied the 9X2Y-00 DESTRUCTOTECH Gundam Taser constructed 564-piece model kit set. I made one myself in less than 25 minutes during AP concentration class, and it sorta looked like this.

Really though, It looks good for an incomplete image. I kinda got the impression that it was meant to be sand weathered when I saw it. I wish I could tell you more, but but that image is too small for my dried-over eyes to see well.

Here's an update, and bigger so supafly doesn't cry.

[EisigerBiskuit]

The top is sexified, Hooray!

[ScruU2wice]

now that you've showed that much of the legs I think you need to go all the way and show the feet so the stability of it all makes more sense.

[Matt Harty]

I like it even better now.
