Got meself a self-designed tattoo today

Ha, Ha, nice. You drew the basic design for the Tattoo artist?

[Girgistian]

So I did, and a few asymmetries aside, I'm very pleased with the result

[Sgt. Groovy]

Tsk, tsk, you should have posted it here before for criticism.

He can do that for the other arm

He can do that for the other arm

I had a mental image of him going into the tattoo parlor and getting asked, "Are you sure you want this?"

The reply being, "Yeah, I'm sure. The art contribs gave me some good advice and kitty and jet approved so I'm ready for it to be committed to my body. It also got 4 pages of responses so I feel that the design will be met with general public approval."

Hey, OI'm sure LOADS of people ask art devs if there tatoo's are good... I mean, theres gotta be a lot of crazy people out there.

[Girgistian]

Wow, so many replies and no one's still mentioned how distracting the beard is
I'd better start posting tattoo sketches real soon then, as the other arm's up for one as soon as I get the money
btw, as an excuse for looking the way it does, the muscle gives it a good deal of asymmetry and it's a little fuzzy because of the applied lotion (even after shower )

He did ask that. Too bad I didn't have any recommendations back then... You people need to start writing formal approvals for the next ones.

Sublime, now I just need a few signatures and I've got something to print for the summer

[Thrawn]

I'm trying to draw again.

Spoiler:

I'm not very good

[Turuk]

Hey, it's certainly not bad at all, and there has been much worse.

Are you drawing to a purpose (i.e. some character or reference) or are you just drawing what comes to mind?

[Girgistian]

^ what he said. And it's surely a huge improvement from what I've last seen of your drawings (I think it was a footpad portrait sketch?). I like the half-comic-styled shading.

EDIT:
Started this around 11 pm and finished at dawn. Just say 'no' to sleeping!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!

[Jetrel]

Largely unproductive past two hours, filled with fits and false starts. Trying to block out a basic shaman animation, but not overcoming "the suck" that seems to pervade our current sorceress animation (which I need to replace). The "jump + strike-as-you-fall" is something I've always wanted to animate, but have seemed to have lot of trouble getting right. I just seem to fail to capture the "bounce".

Turns out part of it was making bad assumptions about when the limbs should move (such as trying to bring both hands together -before- jumping, rather than after as you see here). The other part is I just needed MUCH more shape distortion. Only when I made this SO insanely simple, could I animate fast enough to "play around", finally overturn the bad assumptions, and make something that didn't suck.


Also, I think I'd like to practice some nice splash fx, like a good (e.g. 5-10 frame) version of what happens in this animation when the staff collides.
