My art (taking requests)

[Fojam]

So we have to keep a sketchbook for our visual arts class and draw 20 minutes a day, so i figured i would draw video game art. This was a drawing of Constable Remington i drew in my sketchbook. i thought it look cool, so i scanned it and edited it in photoshop to make it look more cartoony. What do you think?

(for those that don't know, Constable Remington is an echidna from the Sonic Comics)

its pretty big so some of it might get cut off. just click on it to see full size

Wow, that looks very good

I think it looks awesome! You can smoothe up the edges though using this method.


Select all of the white, and all of the black pixels and anything close to that, copy it to another layer, then blur that layer. It'll smooth everything out. Lookie:

Blurred black and white: (Of course, the surrounding color too, what ever that is, in this case it was white)

A simple digital remasterization trick I can show you how if you want. In fact, these images will show ya

NOTE:
Gimp was used in this process.

Another quick Idea:

Heres a video on it

Cheers! And hopefully you can use this tactic ^^


You can do similar things in Photoshop.
Also: I hope to see this character of yours in a game You did a good job making him computer-ized

Oh and I hope you dont mind but I gave your dude more detail

[SuperSonic]

Those pictures that you posted looked pretty good, but honestly, I like the sharper look better

[Hblade]

thanks ^^ And oh

[Fojam]

thanks guys!
we have to do sketchbooks for the rest of the semester, so if you guys want me to do any game art or anything, let me know.

[Hblade]

Hey it'd be awesome if you could do some ^^ Come up with something, I want to make a wallpaper out of it ^^ a GE wallpaper perhaps?

[Fojam]

what do you want it to look like?

[Hblade]

You don't have to if you don't want, but I was thinking of making a more-graphical G-E face, in the background with screenshots from random games just floating around in a 3D like environment, but idk.

[Fojam]

oh i was thinking something i could sketch. if you want me to do that i could just do that in photoshop?

[Hblade]

True xD nevermind

[Fojam]

lol ok. oh and if anyone was wondering, this is the picture i was looking at to draw this. its not exact to the picture, but i think i got pretty close

[Hblade]

Looks almost exactly the same!
