Trigger Comic art

My friend Bridget made this for me. This was suppost to be one of the main characters in this comic we were going to make, but then Bridget kinda fell off the earth. And I haven't talked to her in awhile.

[FartinMowler]

very cool...

[liquidstatik]

I think so. :)

[rainbowbrite]

Trigger. your not a half-bad drawer yourself. why dont you just make it on your own?

[Spectre X]

It's not horrible, but it's not good either. It has anatomy issues etc. But since the person who drew it isn't here my crits are kinda futile. :(

[Anonymous]

I wasn't going to say anything earlier, but who on earth are you to criticize drawing technique?

[The One and Only...]

His torso is incredibly thin, and he could use a shave... still, pretty good.

[Comrade Rocket]

Yeah I know he's skinny, but he is suppost to look like that. The whole story was that he was kind of a hero who got powers one day and didnt know what to do. He works in a small town and is looked down upon by the more popular super heros because hes a one horse town hero. He also had a partner but she wasnt nearly as cool.

Kinda the "really doesnt want to be a hero" thing.

Edit- yeah i can draw, but not that good. And his body type is based on my own. Ask RainbowBrite, i am really that skinny :/

Sorry for stating facts and honestly trying helping someone to improve upon their style.

Sorry for stating facts and honestly trying helping someone to improve upon their style.
What facts? The quality of a work is subjective, so saying that it's good or bad is not a fact. You point out anatomy issues, but fail to mention anything in particular. Yes, the proportions do not match up completely with the human form. But did it occur to you that the artist may not have been striving for realism? Artists ARE allowed to play with the human form and exaggerate it.
Anyway, as for myself, I quite like it.

[rainbowbrite]

Here here!

[Spectre X]

Oh, yeah, I was talking about the anatomy. Not my opinion. If this is what the artist had in mind, great.

[Supafly345]

I think it is akward, unpreportional, and unimaginative. I can tell this artists skill level, and they definitely didn't plan ahead for this drawing. The pose is unnatural, and not in a cool way; it looks like he is holding in a large bowel movement and can't sit comfortably.

And this is just plan generic, very unoriginal and very uninspired- look, he is wearing twinkies on his feet for heaven's sake. And damn the inapropriate, is that a scyth? He is a very boring character, and looks like the artist knew this. Or at least I hope they did. They need to put a little imagination in their work, because the talent is being abused by silent pieces.

And Specter is right, it is dis-proportional in an ugly way. And it is clear that it was unintentional as well. So unless the artist was trying to imitate someone that is bad with proportions, any word they say to it purposly being that way will be a lie.

[Mockery]

You had better listen to him Trigger... after all, he is the authority on creative and original artwork...

One time I drew a picture of Mog kicking Umaro in the balls.

Someone said his foot looked like a giant penis.

I don't like art critics :(


Definately like the art style here... spiffy blood on the scythe. Good emotion of the situation, I think. Bridget gets a star.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I PLAN OUT DRAWINGS DAYS BEFORE I DRAW THEM. :lol THANKS FOR THE TIP SUPAFLY.

[Supafly345]

You are indeed welcome Crunch, it'll come in handy. Really take a look at it, good lord that is hideous. I think anyone who draws similar should be burned and beaten. And what is with the bent blade instead of a curved one? What is this supposed to be? Expressionism? That is just a cheap 4-year olds way of making something interesting. Jeese, I was laughing before, but now I am crying at how pitiful this puny drawing is.
If he is supposed to be so skinny, where on earth are his ribs? Specter will back me up on this one; come on, basic human anatomy has full ribcages, no matter how skinny you are. I am sure the artist has pages of explanations to go with this now, "what I was trying to achieve was, like, ya know, a cool effect!" Yeah, by making someone that defies the laws of science? How can he even stand up under his own power, if there isn't even enough room for a heart in his chest? This just makes me so... unreasonably frustrated.

[Schimid]

Dude.

[kahljorn]

I thought that said COSMIC TRIGGER, fucking Anton Wilson Plagurizer.

[Rongi]

You're kind of a weiner, supa

[Emu]

Is the big blue T supposed to be there or is it something that bled through? :o

[mesobe]

I think anyone who draws similar should be burned and beaten

wouldnt it make sense to beat then burn? it would be gross to punch a melted person.

[ScruU2wice]

What is this supposed to be? Expressionism?

I really like how you make that sound like such a dirty word :lol

[Anonymous]

My point is that Spectre has the tendency to draw things that used to end up in the fan art section of Nintendo Power, coupled with the Artist's name and the age in a single digit.

People are always complaining that you shouldn't criticize something until you've done it, but I disagree. I think that both those versed in the subject and those with no experience should voice an opinion, but those who just openly suck at it should shut it for fear of polluting the talent pool.

Seriously. :|

[Comrade Rocket]

Bad Scan i think. not sure

[Spectre X]

I may suck at drawing, I'm well aware of that, but that doesn't mean I don't know anatomy. All we're trying to do is help the artist, although I don't see Supa's point with this because apparently the artist isn't here.

Supa's right. He should have ribs, as well as internal organs. There's colour, so I guess the artist was going for some kind of noir-ish picture, leaving everything else white. But, the only thing that does is muddle up the diffirences between textures. That line near his neck, is it a shirt, or is it where his mask ends. You only see one line of his mask in the face, and it doesn't even connect to anything. Is his whole face covered? If so, how come the stubble? Is he naked save for a shirt/mask or a belt and boots? And glves too?

We're just trying to help. If we were to be doing it like "Yeah, that's good, only there's just a tad bit wrong with the way that his body's bent, if you don't mind me saying so." They'd go "Yeah, but it's just small, right? So it doesn't really matter that much."

Pussyfooting around the big problems will not help solve them. I take critiques on the Penny Arcade (let the laughter commence) forums' Artist's Corner. There kind of crits you find there are similar to those Supa and I gave, and the people who've recieved them there have improved astronomically. I'm just trying to get better, as any artist should.

But yeah, I shouldn't have started this whole thing seing as the artist isn't around.

Trigger, if you like it, great, awesome. Good. Keep it up and shit.

[Supafly345]

Stop nitpicking Specter, just because it isn't perfect doesn't mean you need to convince yourself that it isn't that better than your drawings by nagging on and on about every last little slightly imperfect detail that doesn't match up with reality. Damn, anime probably gives you raging hernias.

[Spectre X]

anime probably gives you raging hernias.

Actually, bad anime gives me the runs. :(

[Cap'n Crunch]

You fucking suck. Why don't you just draw your own version and then we can pick the fuck out of that you little homo.

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FANTASY AND IMAGINATION, WHERE EVERYONE IS FREE TO BE AND DO WHAT THEY LIKE, AS LONG AS THEY HAVE STANDARD ACCEPTABLE PROPORTIONS AND A PLACE FOR A HEART.

:rolleyes

[Schimid]

Sam just won this thread.

:rolleyes

Proper proportions aren't necessary. As long as that's part of an intended, well executed style. This wasn't.


Crunch, I was trying to be helpful and then realized that it was futile because the artist wasn't around. And hanging around in the PAAC apparently creates critiquing reflexes.





It's not half bad. I know I've seen far worse too.

[Anonymous]

Hanging around the PAAC creates sucking reflexes.

[Spectre X]

You wouldn't sy that when you'd see the art some of these guys make. It dwarfs anything anybody on this board has ever done. :(

[Supafly345]

Hahaha

[Bobo Adobo]

It's funny how you post a piece of art that nobody likes, but it gets all the attention :/ .

Besides the proportion, I think it has potential. Whoever drew it should probably take a figure drawing class.

[Anonymous]

Spectre. No.

[Dole]

Spectre and Supa: shut up. Its a fuck sight better than most of the crap posted here.

[Rongi]

LOL TO THE MAX

MAYBE IF I GO TO PENNY ARCADE I TOO CAN LEARN TO DRAW RETARDED INTERNET SLAMS LIKE "MY EYES! THE GOGGLES DO NOTHING!"

GET IT? THE GOGGLES? DO NOTHING?

[Spectre X]

Case in point. (www.teamspecialolympics.com)

[Matt Harty]

Spectre, run, i'll cover you.

[jin]

What case are you making? >:

You didnt draw that, nor is it that awesomely good. >:0

I suppose K-PAX creates nonsensical posting reflexes also. >:

[Rongi]

Case in point. (www.teamspecialolympics.com)

That shit fucking sucks you goon.

It's like if Gabe from Penny Arcade somehow became a worse artist and made his drawings look a little gayer.

[Cap'n Crunch]

I DON'T KNOW GUYS IT HAS POTENTIAL. :lol

[ProfessorCool]

They all have "Fuck" in in and swearing is fucking funn-ay

[Drew Katsikas]

you guys are all gays.

[sadie]

be that as it may, i found this thread surprisingly amusing.

[Spectre X]

Case in point. (www.teamspecialolympics.com)

That shit fucking sucks you goon.

That's a site owned by a man named Special Olympics, and if you don't find that stuff funny, you're not human.

[Dole]

I, Unhuman

[The Retro Kat]

As for the special olympics...
*sniffle*well, I think his right shoulder is at definate disproportion (for spectre) and the humor is very dry and it's *sniffle* like, eh, its there, but im not laughing *sniffle*


Trigger, even though I don't really care for you that much and will readily make fun of you, I thought that was pretty damn good, post some more.

[Anonymous]

His site's down. Must be so great that the bandwidth is just being sucked out the window.

Wouldn't be his art doing the sucking.

Not at all.
