Stuffs that I've done:






The two upcoming things that I'll be working on are "Aging" Mutant Ninja Turtles and Leela, Fry and Bender from Futurama in my own style.

[Starnum]

Hawt.

[MournfulWoods]

Nicely done. Nice angle on The Flash.

[InterRage]

new Berserk sprites all, enjoy. no naked slans or anything. Which bytheway femto you ever draw slan or, would you?

[Starnum]

Heck yeah man. I like how Pippin has a broken Griffith on his back. Heh, Judeau, classic. Nice Ubik as well, like the background and such. Good attention to detail. Keep up the good work.

[Femto]

I drew Slan a long time ago.

It was an OK drawing.

I found this cool thing on deviantART: http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/#/d2vx881

It's basically for you to fill with stuff that has influenced you and whatnot.

It was fun doing it.

Here's mine:

I know there's like two people watching this forum ( ) but here's some new stuff:

[Starnum]

Damn, those are badass. Good work dude. Keep it up.

[War Machine]

Are you going for a series of Mario going on a rampage drawings? I'd love to see a room full of those drawings, they never get old. Mega Man blowing Mario's right side looks awesome.

You hit the nail on the head.

I'm pretty sure the next one is going to be Mario vs. Pac-Man.

Guess what happens when Mario meets a giant mouth.

[Femto]

HAI!



This will probably get cropped so right click -> open image in new window.

[Starnum]

Badass! I especially like the one with Iori.

[War Machine]

Mario doesn't take shit from nobody. Nice work!

[InterRage]

Mario dukin' it out mortal kombat style to other company mascots is nice.
I was waiting for more of your chick drawings femto. very nice.

[Femto]

I'm glad you guys like it.

There's so much stuff I want to draw and I wish I had more time to do all of it.

Or that I didn't spend so much time dicking around online at least.

I'm totally drawing Paul from Dune at some point.

Maud'Dib! Maud'Dib! Maud'Dib!

[Femto]

DOUBLE POST OF AWESOME ART!

...

I was gonna copy and paste a bunch of new pictures but I've done so much new stuff that, at the risk of making this seem like a shameless plug, just go here and check it out yourselves.

There's Mario vs. Meat Boy/Heavy/Cloud/Slimes, a Mega Man 2 piece, Dragonball Z vs. Chrono Trigger and a bunch of original stuff.

[Starnum]

Good stuff.

[papasith]

good stuff as always femto.

still waiting for mario vs himself.

he would be sitting in a couch with a big bottle of mushroom juice crying. (he is so fucking angry)

[Femto]

Mario vs. Shadow Mario?

I could get behind that.

Pretty sure I'm doing Mario vs. Bomberman next though.

[papasith]

disclaimer: some alcohol was behind my last post.

[brunoafh]

I've just stumbled here, but damn. Nice artwork user: Femto. Really cool stuff.

[Aluja]

Your color composition is amazing!! Any tips?

[Femto]

As for as color goes?

Turn your piece into grayscale every once in a while just to see how your colors are contrasting with one another. If the grays are blending together too much, switch back to RBG and and change the brightness of your colors to add contrast.

Alternative, work completely in grayscale and add color later.

I've had mixed results with the latter approach.

DID YOU GUYS SEE MY POKEMON PIECE? IT'S REALLY COOL AND AWESOME!!

[Aluja]

LOOOL OMG I WANT POKEMON TO MAKE AN OVERHAUL LIKE THAT!

Now that you mention it, changing back and forth might help a lot!

And yeah I also keep getting mixed results, painting over grayscale.

How do you pick your colors though? I always have a hard time with this.

[Femto]

Well, as far as the actual colors go, I usually just use the eyedropper tool to pick the base color from a random image in Google if it's an existing character. For the shadows and highlights, I move the cursor in the color picker screen sorta diagonally down or up respectively. It's a good idea to change the hue slightly so like, say, if your base color is red, throw in a little orange if the lighting permits when going into a lighter shade.

If it's a character I made up or which I don't have any reference for, well, it's just a lot of trial and error really and I don't usually settle on color until the very last minute.

And, of course, once everything is flattened and ready to go, it's worth it to screw around with the levels and saturation for a bit.

I don't really know what other advice I can offer.

For the most part, most of the stuff I do in Photoshop is the result of me screwing around a lot and trying to find a method that works for me, or for whatever piece I'm working on in particular at least.

Hope this helps a bit.
