Secretly, nothing has edges.

On a more practical level, I suggest using a small brush that has a high opacity/hardness, and contrasting light.

Sadly I don't think it's going to save this Commando:

Weeelll... Typically, I find it best to start with kind of a middle value. (I notice you seem to have started with black.) Then you can add light or dark on top of your middle value, so you hit both ends of the value chart more evenly. If that makes sense.

Oh, it makes perfect sense, I was actually testing out a different rendering style where I started with the black and used the eraser set for pressure-sensitive opacity to start putting out some values. Obviously that didn't end up working too good.

Course this is like the backwards baseball cap commando.... all he needs is a boombox circa 1980.....

Polishing this is sort of like taking really coarse sandpaper to it.

Posting so I can follow and comment and nit pick various things I know nothing about. :D

Okay, now I start putting logos in:

Reminds me of Pam from Archer.

Anyway, just found this kick-ass looking Rifleman and felt I had to share:

Working on an MD Banshee/Zombie hybrid idea:

I fear I may have made things a little too saturated:

Kat · « **Reply #434 on:** 06 August 2013, 17:43:11 »

I don't think it's saturated enough. Make it brighter! So you can blend in with all those happy trees.

Falchion · « **Reply #435 on:** 07 August 2013, 17:14:40 »

Well, that escalated quickly:

Working on a wheeled APC design:

And according to Sparky, the inspiration for this is some manner of eight-wheeled Kevlar-lined coffin. :P

good stuff going on in here. you're using a lot of brushes, right?

Not really, most of this stuff is done either with a basic round brush or one of the default calligraphy brushes, the only really unique one I use is the rectangular brush from Algenpfleger's brushpack on DeviantArt.

Way too drab, totally a Davion Outback town though.

Heheheheheheeeeeee....

I really need to learn how to use photoshop or some other drawing program so I can actually make some use of the Wacom Bamboo tablet I got for a steal...

Nice stuff! I like your process. Kinda jealous of it, actually.

Figured I should at least make an effort at finishing her:

Gonna tweak the lines so they don't suck as much as they do now, but I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out.

Falchion · « **Reply #449 on:** 20 June 2014, 01:06:56 »

Trying my hand at something a little...Kuritan. Also just to prove I'm still mostly alive.
