Dacon's Art

[Max Payne]

I don't understand, how does her face look flat? :/

 

[KissTheRain]

I'm loving your new one, the details are marvelous.~ The background shading vs. the people shading is perfect they stick out with out me not noticing the fabulous effort you put into it. (: I especially love your shading on the body and the hair so real, just all perfect the right amount of detail. <3 I agree with crack on the face being flat, but only a bit. The shading doesn't make it come foward enough or more the lack of it, but I didn't notice it too much until she pointed it out really.

 

[Max Payne]

I thought adding too much shading on her face would look too obtrusive and unattractive. Hmm. Not too late to do something about that.

The buildings turned out a little too generic imo, but that's my own fault for not doing more reference studies.

I creamed my pants.
you need to send me Paypal details again so I can pay.

 

[CK]

That's amazing dacon.

 

[Max Payne]

I updated the shading on the faces, and added a few minor details to make the buildings a bit less dull, and err, for amusement

Everytime I see this pic, Cochise - Audioslave automatically plays in my head. It's beautiful.

 

[Max Payne]

I don't think I'll ever understand you mums

 

[Makoeyes987]

I can certainly see why Bex and Alex would be pleased. Awesome work, man. The action in that piece looks epic. Very nice job!

Adri's RP character Fiona. I tried to stay as on spec as possible. She wanted strong and sexy, with toned arms and abs. Hope I delivered :/

 

[Sheva Alomar]

Holy shit, yes!

Her right leg doesn't look quite right to me bro. Other than that it's awesome. I got a commission for you when APB is out.

 

[Max Payne]

You know, if you don't tell me why you feel that way, you may as well be telling me nothing at all man.

 

[CK]

Oh sorry bro to me her calf muscle looks way too big compared to the other one. But that could just be me. =/

 

[Max Payne]

Looks about the same to me, but then I'm still looking at it with fresh eyes.

 

[Super Mario]

She lacks... something, everything's there but she just looks... calm.

 

[Max Payne]

I guess I'm off to do some more sketches and reference practise.

Did this last night in about an hour, mostly the rendering being the real legwork. I tried to make Cloud look like he's a real badass, that when you look at him you know you don't fuck with this guy. If you guys want it in high res I'd be glad to upload a bigger one.

Incidentally, I'd be willing to do a 21-25 page comic of any pivotal moment in FFVII for TLS for about 500 bucks . I'd do it for free but it's an assload of work to do for no payoff, not to mention real artists get paid like 200 to 400 bucks a page.

Think about it, I'm sure the site could raise that much money. Shameless plug/

Looks great, dude. Love the jacked up Buster Sword.

The muscle tone and clothing wrinkles are really good, as is the overall shading.

Only thing I would say for constructive criticism is that either his head seems slightly too large, or maybe his face needs to be thinner. I'm not entirely sure. It's one of those.

Overall, very nice.

When not getting ripped off anyway. It's damn near impossible to get someone on the Internet willing to pay what this kind of work is worth.

"I know this took 40 hours to complete, but I figure that's only worth about 80 bucks, right? That's what everybody who works 40-hour jobs makes for a week of effort, yeah?"

 

[Max Payne]

I dunno, if people wanted it I'm sure they could do it, everyone could just donate a little bit towards it.

It's not that big a deal, IF people want it. It'd help the site get more traffic too once it was frontpaged

Also, people have big heads in general

 

[Tennyo]

If everyone on the site gave $10 you think we could do it? Hmmm....

That is such an awesome idea, though. I really think you may be on to something, here...

 

[Tetsujin]

Fucking AWESOME.

Too bad most folks on the site cba

I could have it done in about a month, but it'd definitely be good work for me.

Thanks Iron Rag
