Title: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Quickman on December 30, 2008, 06:44:50 AM
Been a while, hasn't it?  Well, I've been a bit busy (read: lacking motivation), and only recently have I finally decided to fix my computer, so things are in working order.  That should mean (hopefully) that I'll draw more!  Yay! 

In the meantime, though, my creativity has been coming out in other ways, mainly crafts and photography.  And assorted doodles I need to scan.  And fanfics I need to write.  And an audio adventure I'm currently working on.  So, anyway, without further adieu, here's a buncha stuff, starting with the most recent thing I finished; my Tom Baker scarf.

BEHOLD!
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/ScarfFinished.jpg)

It is 12 feet long, so I need to wrap it a good four or five times so it won't drag on the ground.  I'll have pics of the scarf in-progress, and on me, tomorrow.  It took me roughly a month to crochet it, so I'm not taking any requests.  The pattern was relatively easy, though, if anyone wants it.

Now for the photography...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Toad02.jpg)
A large toad at my mum's house.  He posed quite nice for me this passed summer.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/DodaAndSyCuddle.jpg)
Two kittens from a litter over the summer.  Doda and Sy cuddling quite sweetly.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/RainbowBlueSky02.jpg)
Rainbow over Gettysburg.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/RainbowDoubleBow.jpg)
Make that a double-bow.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/BoatAtPond.jpg)
Boat on the banks of my great-grandpa's pond.  I'm really pleased with how this pic turned out, considering that I use my phone.  It was a drizzly fall day, and the lighting was just perfect, so I framed the shot, got in the mud, and snapped the pic.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/HanKitten.jpg)
My cat, Han, sleeping.  Another pic that I'm very pleased with the result.  My white balance was set for "Sunny," which produced the orange filter.  Han was asleep and I just leaned down really close and snapped the pic at an angle I thought was neat.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/ConewagoCreek01.jpg)
Conewago Creek.  I think.  I need to look up the name...  Anywho, it was another summer day and I was on my way back from the swimming hole.  I crawled out onto an overhanging branch to take this pic.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/StormClouds01.jpg)
Storm clouds.  The storm that came with it was nasty.  Produced some lovely clouds, though.

Annnd... that's it for now til I upload more.  Enjoy!

The scarf came out fan-freakin-tastic, Quickie!  It's so huge too!   8D

And those pics are lovely as well.  The kitties are cute!

You know, I don't see anything risque about that one.

It's relevant to my interests in anycase.

I've never really seen you actively post artwork since I probably wasn't around then (and if I was, well, I'm lazy), so it's good to see a good artist making art.

In short, you're awesome, and you should keep being awesome.

Very, very impressive stuff.  You're really talented and you've got a great comic style.  I really like your Rodians and esurance gal.  She reminds me of Danger Girl and Totally Spies.  I look forward to seeing more.

Post by: Quickman on January 05, 2009, 06:41:47 AM
Those eSurance commercials are awesome.  They should consider doing a series of webisodes or something.

Anywho, reinstalled the scanner software, so I scanned a few things.  Only one's coloured and it's another one of my many SW fan characters.  The pic was drawn a while back, I just coloured it earlier this evening.

Solah Tark (http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Solah_Tark)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/SolahHeadshot.jpg)

I'm gonna see if I can get the other pic coloured in a while...
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.

Quickie: Here's a dirty trick. You use Photoshop, right? If your scanner uses an USB connection, you DON'T NEED the scanner software. In Photoshop, go to File > Import > WIA Support, pick your scanner, and you can scan stuff directly from inside Photoshop. :)

Post by: Quickman on January 12, 2009, 07:57:48 AM
Not necessarily art, but it's something.  Recently, my brother and I decided to do some stop-motion animation tests using techniques from the producers of Robot Chicken.  A while back, StarWars.Com held a question-and-answer session with the producers, so I took the oppertunity to ask about their animation techniques, puppets used, and framerate.  I found that they film at 15 fps "hold two," which they hold poses for two frames.  Going on that and seeing as how my brother and I commonly film at 24-30 fps, we're now employing the "hold two" technique, only we're holding poses for 3-4 frames due to our higher framerate.

One of the many motion tests that were done was with one of my Daleks.  The Dalek was ideal for the motion test as unlike many of our figures, it won't fall over.  So, I set up the shot and animated the Dalek at 30 fps, holding each pose for four frames.  The frames were imported to AfterEffects and after several expiraments, the framerate was risen from 30 fps to 60 fps and a motion blur was added to eliminate the staccato effect.

This 3-second motion test is the result. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuN-7wVz2jY)

Right now, we're mostly doing motion tests to get comfortable with the animation technique and framerate.  If any other animated shorts are to be done, a script needs to be written, which then needs to be storyboarded, then filmed.

Nothing too major today, just a model sheet.  My brother needed me to design a mech and make a model sheet of it to model from.

Post by: Quickman on January 15, 2009, 07:47:58 AM
My brother wanted something more Battletech than Gundam, something functional.  So, using several Battletech and EXO Squad references, along with suggestions ("Make the front like a Mack truck, but more alien and rounded"), I sketched up an angled design and then drew the model sheet.

Posted on: January 15, 2009, 06:03:19 AM
Hey, remember that one angel pic I was working on ages ago?  I finally decided to work on it again and I got the wings coloured.  Next up is the cast shadow.

A photograph for this update... for now. 

It had snowed last week, and I wanted to take a picture of it.  So, I stood outside on the icy steps and snapped a pic of the driveway and some bits of McKnightstown.

I'm hoping for more snow (lots more snow) so I can take more pics.

Photobucket's eating ram, no thanks to a stupid "New In Town" interface/banner they have slapped on the front page, so I'm not in the mood tonight to deal with that.  I have Photoshop up currently and don't wanna close it just to please Photobucket's retarded ad campaign.  So all it's being used for tonight is to upload a pic.

While waiting for the net, I cobbled together a starship.  Behold, the Rhythm Divine, a junk-hauling scavenger ship.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/RhythmDivine01.jpg)

This bugger uses chemical rockets for takeoff, a basic ion drive for cruising speed, and a scavenged hyperdrive.  The hyperdrive isn't all that efficient, so travel takes anywhere from weeks to months to even years, depending on location and distance.  Hyper-sleep chambers, ala Alien, are installed on the ship.

Since I finally got to use the net tonight, here's a small image dump of stuff I was working on before to keep myself entertained.

Drew up another character I'm working on the backstory for.  He's the last in my cyberpunk SW characters so far.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/MarkovBith.jpg)

This next one is just trying out some colour schemes.  In Dalek Empire II, another Dalek faction was introduced and they were described as basically having a new paint job.  So, I grabbed my one figure, drew it and coloured it in the colours I pictured when listening to the audio series.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/DalekCrade.jpg)

Then, I got bored and decided to draw tentacles.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/KaledMutant.jpg)

Technically, it's more than tentacles, and was an exercise in texturing and shading techniques.

I [parasitic bomb] you not. it was like a very, very very light shade of puke green. then it slowly became a yellow, until it settled on a crystal blue shade of color. weirdest [parasitic bomb] id ever seen.

Been a while since I updated.  I've been bogged down with other things.  Either way, I finished off an image I was working on a couple days ago.  It was actually an edit and colouring of a sketch I drew up a while back that I decided to reuse for a character biography headshot.  The only problem, the original sketch was naked.  So, I drew in some skin-tight spandex clothes and coloured it in.

Looks like another project to do then, as my technique's been evolving quite a bit.  It went from matte colour with two-toned cast shadow to tones with cast shadow.  And I'm gonna try out new techniques as well with an image I have planned.  I guess when I start on that image, I'll use it for an extremely detailed tutorial on damn near everything that goes into making a pic.

Anywho, just put the finishing touches on another image.

Well, this weekend I plan on getting started on the larger pic that the exercise was for.  So, I'll make sure to base a detailed tutorial around that that'll not only detail my technique, but the process of creating a detailed image from start to finish.  Though, 'fore I get to the major painting, I may do some more exercises so I'll write up a quick tutorial with one of those as the larger image may take me a while.

Anywho, I had drawn this up a while ago 'fore that digital painting exercise.  It's my one character, Eniki Kwadwo (who's also in the sig) all grown up.  I played around with Blending Modes when shading her shirt and adding cast shadow.

I'm using CS3, but yeah.  They're in the Layers Pallet.  The drop-down menu that usually says "Normal"?  That's your Blending Modes.  For colouring scanned images, I usually have my linework on the top layer with the Blending Mode set to "Multiply" and add my colour and shading layers underneath.

Post by: Quickman on April 29, 2009, 06:45:47 AM
Hrm...  Last night I came across a few old stories I was working on.  One of 'em was a ZX fic that I started on before ZX even was imported, so there are no doubt some glaring flaws in it concerning the characters and history.  But what the hey, I started writing it and had a half-decent plot in mind.  Then I lost interest about two or three pages in and forgot about it.

So, I'm gonna share the crap with you all! XD

Quote
Untitled ZX Fic.

   A warm breeze wafted through the open warehouse door, birds chirping outside.  The region had recovered quite well over a very short amount of time since the Maverick and Elf Wars.  It seemed too perfect, and too fast, as the growth and replenishment of flora and fauna was hurried along by the very technology that destroyed it centuries before.  Immense towers loomed in the distance, keeping a vigil over the regions.  No one was sure who exactly built the towers or how they work; the information was lost in the overgrowth of ruin cities in the Outer regions.  One thing was for certain; the structures apparently aided nature’s return.
   When the first blade of green grass sprouted on the planet, it took millions of years for it to happen.  Then another million years for trees to grow.  This time, however, it only took roughly a hundred years.  The dead wastelands breathed again with such speed that it was unnatural, according to scientists and geologists that have long studied the effects that Man has had on the Earth.
   Whatever the reasons or whatever the circumstances, life had begun again and the humans have repopulated with the help of the machines they built.  And the Reploids gained an essence of humanity by implementing a set lifespan into the newer models.  The humans are living longer with cybernetic implants and enhancements, while the Reploids sacrificed their durable and hardworking systems for parts that would degrade over time and allow them to die, just as the humans want them to.  The lines between the two races have blurred, though the humans still needed something to separate flesh and blood from metal and circuits.  All Reploids now bore a red triangle marking on their foreheads.  The machines cannot be human, but the humans can be machines.
   While many have come to accept the Reploids as a race and allow them to meld into the population, there are still those that will have nothing to do with it.  The Reploids were the cause of the dreaded wars centuries before, and there was no way in hell that history is going to repeat itself.  The machines are tools built by the humans and are to be used by the humans, as is the mindset of the old-fashioned.  Organized hate-groups have cropped up and public rallies were a familiar site.  Reploid businesses have been attacked, and government officials have been slandered.  A few were executed.
   Though, the activity of those groups have dwindled and all but subsided.  The Serpent Company made sure of that.  Being the largest Reploid-owned conglomerate gave them an edge over the humans.  They controlled the commerce and the military, and kept the human hate-groups in check.  Many humans and Reploids practically worshiped Serpent, as he was a great and generous man.  He funded civic projects, he donated profits to charities, and he made lives better and easier.  He was very warm to his admirers, a very open and kind-hearted individual who did not allow his position of power to go to his head like so many have done before.
   Not everything was as it seems, as one of the smaller shipping companies, Girouette Express, often transported rather unorthodox parcels for the Serpent Company.  No questions were asked, as the packages were never opened.  They were sent from one place to another as they are supposed to and the payment was collected.  It was all business with Girouette, owner of the shipping company, and Serpent planned to keep it that way.  He didn’t need some young upstart asking questions and nosing in business that’s not meant for his eyes.
*   *   *   *

   A wayward candy wrapper bounced through the open door, pushed along by the summer breeze.  Vent paused in the unloading of boxes off of one of the freighter trucks to wipe the sweat from his brow.  It was a comfortable day, but after hours of carrying packages back and forth, the heat was starting to get to him.  The wind was a welcome change from the dust inside the warehouse.  Leaning heavily against the truck, Vent flapped his shirt, trying to cool himself off.
   “Take a break already, Vent.”  Girouette looked up from his work.  “You’ve been working yourself like a dog; you don’t need to rush things.  The truck doesn’t leave until tonight, you have time to relax.”  He glanced at the forms strewn about on the makeshift desk constructed from crates and boxes.  “’Sides, Aile will be back with lunch soon.  Take a break.”
   Vent shook his head between pants.  “Nah, I’m fine.  I’m almost finished anyway.”  He started for another box.
   Girouette put the clipboard aside and stood, walking over and sitting on the box to prevent Vent from moving it.  “Seriously, break time.”  He crossed his arms.  “You need to relax a little and pace yourself.  It’s hot outside and you’re gonna work yourself to a coma if you keep this up.  Get a drink and enjoy the breeze for a while.  I’ll take over the unloading.”  He smiled, pushing his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose and tucking a loose strand of blonde hair behind his ear.  “You’re alright, Vent and I admire your work ethic, but if you keep this up, you’re gonna make me look like a slave driver.”  He laughed.
   Vent laughed as well, shrugging.  “Yeah, you’re right.  Fine, I’ll take a break.”  He flapped his shirt again and walked over to the vending machine for a drink.  “So… who’re these packages for anyway?  What’s in ‘em?”
   “Haven’t the slightest.”  Girouette shrugged, adjusting his glasses yet again and flipping through some forms on his clipboard.  “I usually don’t ask it’s none of my business.  As long as we get paid, then I really don’t care what we’re shipping.”  He chewed on the end of his pen, and then wrote something down.
   Popping the tab on his can of soda, Vent took a long swallow.  He ran his fingers through his spiky brown hair, his bangs wet with sweat.  A smell caught his nose, rising from his soaked armpit.  Ugh… I need a shower.  That was one of the downfalls of working; stinking of sweat.  Vent is a young human boy, unlike Girouette who was clearly marked as a Reploid.  The red triangle on his forehead set him apart from Vent and Aile, another human girl.  The two kids lost their families in Maverick attacks and Girouette took them in.  He wasn’t much older than they were, appearance-wise, but his real age was unknown.  He was constructed to look like an adolescent and he would remain trapped in eternal youth until his systems degraded from age.
   Though he may be a machine, there was one advantage Girouette had over Vent and Aile; he doesn’t stink when he sweats.  If he sweats at all.
   Vent sighed, fanning himself and flapping his shirt to dry out his armpits.  The sound of a motorcycle engine caught his ears and he turned to look, seeing Aile dismount the bike with an armload of take-out.  “Finally!  What took you so long?!”
   Aile put the bags on the stacked boxes and began to sort it.  “Your finicky appetite, that’s what!  I hadta go clean across town just to get your food!”  She shook her head, handing a covered dish to Girouette and then tossing the wrapped sandwich to Vent who caught it with one hand.  “Next time… just get Chinese or something.  It’ll be easier on gas.”
   Vent snorted, unwrapping his sandwich and sitting on a box to eat.  The shipping business consisted of a warehouse, three motorcycles and the occasional truck.  There wasn’t much to it, not even a separate office for Girouette.  He had a computer, a laptop which he would put on a stack of boxes, but for the most part, the inventory and customer information was written by hand.  The Serpent Company paid them well, but not enough to actually move into a more professional building.  Vent sighed, kicking the box on which he sat, seeing something odd dusting from the seams.  “Hey, Giro?”  He stood.  “Something’s busted in this one.”  He nodded to the box.
   Girouette adjusted his glasses and walked over, taking out his utility knife.  “Probably dust, but I’ll check…  Just say nothing to our client about this, we’re not supposed to open these.”  Righting the package, he slid the blade across one of the lids, prying it off.  A cloud of white powder rose up from inside.
   Vent covered his face, backing away as Aile came over.  “Geez!  Whatever was in there must’ve been pulverized!”
   “I don’t think so…” Girouette shook his head, waving his hand in front of him to clear the air.  “It smells really weird.”  Reaching into the box, he took out a few clear plastic bags, each packed full of a white powder.  The bags dropped from his hands.  “Oh [parasitic bomb].”
   “What?  What’s in there?”  Aile looked into the box.  “It looks like—“
   “Drugs.” Girouette finished.  “It’s fulla drugs!  There must be at least—I dunno; ten-twenty pounds of crack in here!”  He shot his gaze to the stack of parcels sitting beside the truck.  “Bring me a coupla those boxes over there!”
   Aile nodded and retrieved a few.  “We’re shipping drugs?!  Who the hell’s the client?!”
   “Do they even know they’re shipping this crap?!”  Vent was flabbergasted.  “Are all the boxes fulla this stuff?”
   Ripping open another box, Girouette nodded.  “Yep, here’s more.  God damn, do you guys know how much trouble we could get in if we get caught trafficking this stuff?!”  He shook his head and reached for his clipboard, flipping through the pages.  “Oh man… some colleague of Serpent’s is shipping this…”  Shaking his head again, he sat on an unopened box.  “Get the packing tape and seal these buggers.  I’ll have ‘em outta here this evening.”
   “Wait, what?  But, shouldn’t we call the cops or something?!”  Vent was stunned.  “This can’t be legal!”
   Aile shook her head.  “We should burn this stuff!  Get rid of it!”
   “We can’t!” Girouette argued.  “Look, this was assigned to us by Serpent himself and he tracks our progress reports!  If this crap doesn’t get to where it’s going, we’re done!  Finished!  He’ll use some high-brow legal parlor trick to get it all to end in his favor while we’re tossed in jail for smuggling cocaine across the Inner Regions!”  He sighed.  “I know it doesn’t make any sense, but the less we say about this, the better.  I’ll handle the shipment tonight.  You two can have the rest of the day off if you want, I’ll handle this stuff.” 
   Vent blinked.  “Are you sure, Giro?  If we gotta deliver it, me and Aile—“
   “No.” Girouette shook his head.  “You two go home a while.  I’ll deal with this.”  He heaved a breathy grunt, shaking his head slowly.  “Seriously, both of you go home.”
   Vent hesitated, but nodded and started for his motorcycle.  Again, he paused.  “Are you sure?”
   “Yes!”  Girouette snapped. “Go home!”
   Vent nodded quickly and dashed for the door, Aile following.  Once he was outside, his pace slowed and he put his hands in his pockets, sighing.  “So… whatcha think we should do?”
   Aile shrugged.  “I say we should call the cops.  I don’t care who’s shipping this, they shouldn’t be allowed to get away with it.”
   “You’re right.”  Vent nodded.  “The thing is… Giro doesn’t want the cops involved, so we can’t just call ‘em.  And if we do get the police; what if they think we’re the ones shipping it and we’re thrown in jail anyway?!”
   “Possession is nine-tenths of the law, we’d be toast.” Aile sighed.  “I guess it’s a good thing that Giro’s handling this and not us.  But still, I really don’t like this…”
   “Me neither.  There’s not much we can do about it now…”
*   *   *   *
   The evening had passed; Vent and Aile had long retired for the night.  They lived in Girouette’s small, cramped one-room efficiency apartment.  He had given up his bedroom for those two, moving out into his tiny living room to sleep on the sofa.  The place was often a mess for it was intended to house only one person; Girouette.  But things had changed when he “adopted” Vent and Aile. 
   The locks clicked and keys jingled as the door opened, Girouette entering.  Locking the deadbolts, he heaved a sigh and tossed his keys on the table, wandering over in the dark and flopping ungracefully on the couch. He did not bother to remove his glasses or even kick off his shoes; he was just too tired and mentally taxed.  He closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep when he heard the bedroom door open.
   “Giro?”  Aile asked in a quiet voice, padding up to the couch in her socks.  “You awake?”
   Girouette gazed up at her, and then took off his glasses, setting them aside.  “Barely.  What’s up?”
   “Whatcha do with the shipment?”
   “I really don’t wanna talk about it right now…” He replied with a yawn.  “It can wait ‘til the morning.  Go back to sleep, we got alotta work to do tomorrow.”

Not much tonight.  Just tackling some headshots for character articles from CJ008.  One of 'em I drew a couple nights ago.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/CamiCrouch.jpg)

This started out as a rough sketch just to get a pose and shading reference down.  I had a stock photo of a girl and was referencing the shading as I thought the lighting was perfect.  Then I just ended up finalizing the image.  I employed a different technique in which I did all the shading first, then the actual colouring last.  I was also playing with brushes, trying for a gritty look.  I'm pretty happy with how it turned out, even though I drew it kinda tiny.

I needed a new headshot for Cami's character article as I'm gonna work on getting that to Featured Article status.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/DarethHeadshot.jpg)

This was more another exercise in skintones.  Dareth has a round face, which I felt was perfect for practicing skintones.  I also played with brushes again, giving his robe some texture.  Now to correct the skintones on another image and draw another headshot...

And that's it.  Aside from my boredom one day when I went for a hike.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/GreedoByCreek.jpg)

Yeah.

Thanks.  Roughly 22+ layers for the first pic, about 23+ for the second.  The image in my sig still holds second place for 40+ layers, while an old art assignment of mine is in the lead with 82+ layers.  Yay, loads of layers!

Anywho, I saw a 1951 Packard 300 sedan Ultramatic and I decided to take a pic of the hood ornament:

I think my max is 10+.

It was a colour overlay project.  The assignment was to take an image (photo or painting) and remove the colour channels to make it grayscale.  Then we were to colour it back in using overlays, each shade on its own layer.  I was working on an Alex Ross painting.  I was nearing three-quarters of the way done and had 82+ layers.

I always liked the amount of effort you put into your shading, Quickie. It turns out really great in the end. I'm far too lazy to make that many shades, myself. Hell, half the time I just colour it in a don't bother with the shading all that much. I could do it, considering every colour I have is a different layer, but getting to it is a different story.

Anyways, point is that I admire the amount of work and effort you put into it, and it looks awesome. Great Job.

Anywho, nothing really new today, just something I forgot to post a while back.  I had tweaked the hair colour on a pic after I had adjusted the skintones.

I was going through my Photobucket tonight and came across some stuff I forgot all about.  My Lego MMX pics.  They're old and done when I was just starting to colour my stuff digitally (this was pre-tablet).  But here they are.

Spent the evening painting this.  Acrylics on 16 x 20 canvas.  It won't fit on my scanner, so I had to take a pic of it with my phone.  I'm gonna see if I can get a digital copy scanned at Staples or some place this week as my phone's camera just doesn't do it justice.

Thanks.  I adjusted the levels and colour balance to try to get the pic to resemble the painting as much as possible, but my camera just didn't pick up the lighting.  The actual painting is a bit bluer, and the faerie's wings are translucent.  I did the foliage using the Bob Ross method. 8D

Since I drew it tonight, I might as well share it.  But first... some background info.

Since last Christmas, my brother and I have been diligently working on an audio adaptation of Underworld: The Yavin Vassilika (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Underworld:_The_Yavin_Vassilika).  Last weekend, we started finalizing the first scene of the first chapter.  We're getting close to releasing the first chapter, I figured I'd better get started on the nitty-gritty PR crap; release planning (where and when), publicity, cover art, etc.  So, I drew up some cover art in the style of the comic's artist and made a mock CD cover.

Here's the cover:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/YavinVassilikaCover.jpg)

And here's the art itself:

Star Wars: The Yavin Vassilika
Chapter One

Fully-dramatized audio adaptation of the comic series of the same name. (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Underworld:_The_Yavin_Vassilika)

Yes, folks, it is done.  At least the first chapter of it.  My brother and I have been working on this since Christmas, and seriously, at first we had no idea what we were doing.  We had never adapted a comic to audio before.  And to make matters worse, all we had at our disposal was a cheap PC mic and Audacity.  But, we didn't let it stop us (though the next chapters are being recorded with a better mic and Audition).  We each tackled at least ten different voices, dealt with Audacity's frequent crashing and errors (and file corruption, argh), and learned how to make an audio drama.  Is it easier than a fan film?  No way.  Cheaper, yes.  Easier, no.

Anywho, without further adieu, I present to you, the first chapter of Star Wars: The Yavin Vassilika.

Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Ringman on September 01, 2009, 03:57:11 PM
Thanks for the compliments guys!  Its this kind of stuff that keeps us stressing out over projects like these.  The voices took the longest amount of time.  First we had to deal with making alien-speaking characters still sound the same while speaking english, no small feat.  Plus we were constantly revising from criticisms of our friends to keep the characters sounding authentic.  
I know I had complaints from Proto that Han was too low and complaints from my girlfriend that Lando was too low originally.  With Han, now, I seem to have satisfied most. But, with Lando I'm getting feedback from my gf, that he's perfect, and feedback from Proto that he is too high.  Ah well, I'll try to find that middle ground for the next installment.  

Also, I have to hand it to Quickie for suffering through the different voices she had to do before finally constructing something perfect for Zuckuss, it paid off in the end.  Most of her voices have been "invented" just for this, while I've been using alot of stock voices that I've created over the years while reading books and comics aloud with my GF, or impersonations of existing characters.  

Quickie's worked much harder on this than I have.  She's been writing the blocking and sound fx placement during weekdays when I have work, and still recording and editing on the Fridays we meet.  Hands off to her.  I think the next one will be out much sooner because we won't have to deal with Audacity and we won't need to come up with many new voices.  Except for ... Dodonna, ugh.

Well, no matter how hard you try, some voices cannot be truly authentic, simply cause of your own voice.  I mean, try as I might, I probably couldn't imitate Han very well.  Also, with Lando, it's not that he shouldn't be high, it's that he shouldn't be that high all the time.
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Ringman on September 02, 2009, 07:22:21 PM
Well you're first statement I don't agree with.  I believe you can get a level of authenticity to a close enough level that only subtle differences remain.  No matter what your voice is.  It all takes practice.  These voices don't just come out of the woodwork it took alot of practice to figure out how to get my voice to do the right sound even.  However the second statement, he shouldn't be that high all the time, I can easily fix and is something I've been trying to find a good balance with.  I dropped him down much lower on the last two sentences on the first line I just think I went TOO low there.  I've been doing his angry lines in the car over and over again to try to find that balance.

That's pretty much what I meant...

Well, no matter how hard you try, some voices cannot be truly authentic, simply cause of your own voice.

With practice, yes you can get a level of authenticity where only subtle difference remain, but those differences are still there, just like with any imitation.  If you've ever watched or listened to commercials talking about Celebrity Imitators, they live off of imitating the style and voice of actors, singers, etc.  But you can still hear those subtle differences in there voice.  One of our members here, Sato, did a pretty much spot-on imitation of Peter Griffin from Family Guy, but again, you can hear the subtle difference.  It's not a criticism about the job you did, cause you two did a great job. 
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Ringman on September 02, 2009, 11:12:49 PM
No hard feelings, man.  I wasn't taking it as criticism.  I thought you were selling YOURSELF short!  You said as an example "I couldn't imitate Han very well."  That's not very fair to you.  With enough practice you could probably sound dead on to the untrained ear, just like anything it takes time.  I think even in time subtle differences can be eliminated because in reality all voice is is the vibrations of the vocal chords mixed with the shape of your cranial cavities.  While its nigh impossible to change the shape of your cranial cavities, you can adjust the shape of your mouth inside and out, position of your tongue and the vibrations of your vocal chords to produce just about any sound.  It would take a VERY VERY skilled person to do that, and believe me I'm nowhere near there.  But I would never say "impossible".

And speaking of Zuckuss...

Evil Sorceress PBPB.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/DengarSketch.jpg)

It's been an age since I've drawn Dengar.  Just a basic design sketch and head study.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/DengarZuckussDrinking.jpg)

Another with Dengar.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/BosskSketch.jpg)

And I think the last time I drew Bossk was way back in seventh grade.  I like how the shading turned out on his head.  The rest of him, though, not so much.

Time for a sketch dump since I had a chance to scan a bunch of stuff today!

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/MuculatureStudy01.jpg)

Just a musculature study using the pose off my Speed Racer shirt.  Yay, drawing with a reference that is upside down...

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/SuperheroSketches01.jpg)

These two were drawn late at night, hence why the one on the left has a huge head.  They were mostly costume designs, some musculature, and linework exercises.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/WomenSketches01.jpg)

Ah, the ladies...  The one on the left was a facial study for the girl in After the Raid.  The one on the right used to have bare boobies, but I covered them up in case these end up going with me to a possible artist-in-residence stint.  Gotta keep some sketches PG-13 at least.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/WomenSketches02.jpg)

Some more women facial studies.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/WomenSketches03.jpg)

And more women facial studies.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/ZuckussSketch.jpg)

Another foreshortening exercise, with the proper way to hold a gun, so for future reference Zuckuss won't be wondering how dirt got in the inside of the scope.

That's it for now til I go on another scanning spree.

Newspaper and duck tape, yep.  The teeth are also newspaper and duck tape and were individually set.  We still have quite a bit of work to do on this.

Posted on: August 23, 2010, 05:14:42 AM
Just some musculature studies today.  I'm concentrating more on the Xenomorph costume lately, rather than cranking out sketches.  I have a two-week time limit to build this thing.

Anywho, the sketches.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/MusculatureStudies.jpg)

Two female and one male musculature study with DAT ASS.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v295/QuickmanEXE/Doodles/PepanMusculatureStudy01.jpg)

Just a musculature study of a character.

That's it for now until I scan some more.

Got a lil bit more done on the Xenomorph today as well.  The torso can now hold its shape while I work on it and I started on the sternum detailing.  I plan to tackle a problem with the head tomorrow.

Requests will need to wait until after this costume is done.  We have one more week to work on this bugger and with Ringman working, progress during the week is slow as alotta it requires more than one person to work on it.  We still need to make a run up to our mom's to pick up the tail from the old costume.

Anywho, some progress I made today: Finished the sternum detailing and extended the shoulders.

Got a bit more done with the costume today.  Mainly added the four big spines to the back.

Here's a shot of just the head and chest.

A few designs for a pumpkin I'm gonna paint.  Since the first pumpkin I plan to paint is intended to be a sacrifice to the Neighbourhood Gods, then I may use the third design.  Save the other two for pumpkins that won't get smashed or stolen.

Posted on: October 16, 2010, 08:17:46 AM
(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/1581/greedothiefsketch.jpg)

Greedo the thief.  Oh, he may look like he knows what he's doing, but I can assure you, he does not.  He's no better with his secondary weapon, either.  From the game, during battle:

"Greedo fumbles with dirk."

Greedo, has, though, successfully picked two locks and disarmed two traps and killed at least low level rats.

(http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/4134/4lombardsketch.jpg)

4-LOM the bard.  From the start, I knew he was gonna have a hat with a big plume on it.  The rest of the costume was a bit fuzzy, though once I started costuming him, I just said, "What the hell?  Protocol droids tend to be a bit flamboyant, let's have some fun!"

Of the party, 4-LOM and Zuckuss are the only ones holding their own in battle.  They're actually competent!

(http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9439/ig88fightersketch.jpg)

IG-88 the fighter.  I'll be honest, I'm still not sure what I wanna dress him in.  I may toss him in Conan the Barbarian duds later, see how he looks.  Or just put armor on him.

Oh, and he can't hit anything with his Sword of Striking, either.

Behold the crappy pentagram that I obviously didn't bother to use a ruler for or make it in the proper perspective!  That's what happens when you draw in the wee hours of the morning.

Next up, a half-finished group shot.

(http://img255.imageshack.us/img255/541/wizardrygroupsketchwip.jpg)

I'm gonna need to make some adjustments with a couple of the figures before I can finish it.  4-LOM and Dengar ended up being a bit too tall.

And now logo concept roughs for PB's production company.

(http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/1366/crawlingeyeroughs.jpg)

These will go through a few more changes and tweaks before the final piece.

Quickie, you do all of your colouring in Photoshop right? *tries really hard not to ask buuuut...* When you're finished with this, I'd really like to see how you achieved your results.
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Quickman on November 16, 2010, 09:24:23 AM
Yeah, I do all my colouring in Photoshop.  That one was mainly an experiment.  I did it like how I usually colour, only instead of just shading via large pools of colour, I dropped the brush size down to 3 pixels and treated it as if I were using my coloured pencils.  No real uniform strokes, just colouring and blending mostly.

Pepan's (the Kubaz with the crowbar) colour palette was the same one I used with a coloured pencil drawing.  In the coloured pencil drawing, I used some things I learned from Photoshop, like using purple to shade.  So, Pepan's shading is Orchid, from a box of Prang coloured pencils.  Using various shades of purple for shading produces some nice results.  It may seem weird to use it, but if you look closely, there are a number of things that, in the right light, will take on a purplish cast.

And, for the hell of it, here's just the background sketch that I used for the above pic.  I scanned it in at 200 dpi, so if anyone needs a quick sewer/underground background and doesn't feel like drawing one, you can use this one.

Post by: Quickman on November 17, 2010, 10:42:55 AM
I just scanned it in, darkened the linework by adjusting the levels, replaced any leftover blue from my non-photo blue pencil that the scanner picked up, further adjusted the levels, then made it black-and-white.

Ah, make sense. but you did inked the background first right?
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Quickman on November 17, 2010, 10:53:30 AM
Nope.  That's all pencil.  If the pencils are dark and clean enough, by playing with the levels (Image--> Adjustments--> Levels), you can usually play around with the sliders for Shadows, Midtones, and Highlights until you get the pencils dark enough to look like inks.

Sometimes, playing the the threshold (Image--> Adjustments--> Threshold) will sharpen up the linework, but that can also make it a bit jaggy.

Just some tips plucked from the DC Comics Guide to Digitally Creating Comics.

Well, I sculpted and baked the two minis yesterday, then painted them today.  Then I snapped some really shitty pics and wished for a better camera.  Once I can borrow a camera with a macro lens, I'll take better pics.  But in the meantime, here's the figures:

(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/946/louiezuckuss03.jpg)

(http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/9702/louiezuckuss01.jpg)

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/5103/louiezuckuss02.jpg)

They are both less than an inch in height.  Louie is roughly a half an inch, not counting blade, while brown mage Zuckuss there is about three-quarters of an inch.  They are half the height or smaller than a standard Mage Knight figure.  And I intend to take better pictures when I can borrow a better camera.

That's some amazing stuff there. I'm jealous! How did you pull this off (recommended tempature, materials, etc.)?

Sculpey, clay carving tools, and a toothpick rammed up Zuck's ass while sculpting him.  Oh, and very steady hands and lots of patience helps.  As for recommended temperature... For miniatures that small, about 5 minutes at 250 degrees in a toaster oven does the trick.  Just watch them to make sure they don't burn and try not to inhale the fumes.

The minute I can get a hold of a macro lens, I'm gonna take better pics.

=O I <3 the way you shade and detail in b/w mediums. I've always wanted to do that, but I am either too lazy to shade my drawings or I suck. I can't tell which.

For the second image though, the form looks good but I think the colours are a bit too saturated. Especially since your style is more on the realistic side.
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Quickman on April 13, 2011, 08:38:06 AM
I may mute her hues a bit after the pic's all said and done.  Though, after looking at it a few more times, I'm not happy with the shading on the face and may redo it.  I'll play around with the saturation a bit, then decide if I wanna redo it or what.

Actually, what I may do is print out the linework without the colors (don't wanna smear the original) and break out my colored pencils.  Been a while since I played with those.

Just playing around with inking techniques, this time translating painted shading to ink without bogging the pic down with excess cross-hatching, the cover of Tales of the Bounty Hunters as a shading reference.

(http://img851.imageshack.us/img851/5314/zuckussink.jpg)

I'm hesitant to color this, as the colors might hide the inkwork.

Uwah the stippling is cool >w<

Since you already put so much effort into the shading via ink, maybe you can colour it with flats/gradients to see how that works? The detail is in the inks already so if you don't go over them with shading it won't hide the inks...I think.

I'm thinking of going that route, actually.  I've been wanting to make a Zuckuss t-shirt, much like my Greedo t-shirt, so I may try some color palettes and bang out a design or two.

Posted on: June 28, 2011, 05:22:29 AM
And speaking of a t-shirt design ala my Greedo shirt...

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/296/zuckusstshirtdesign.jpg)

The finalized version is currently saved on Zazzle, waiting for me to make into a shirt. :D

And now, elements of another image that I'm working on...

(http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/5475/laerassaber.jpg)

It figures that after I drew this darn thing that I find my protractor and proportional scale...

(http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4458/marinehelmet.jpg)

Helmet is a tweaked Radiation Zone Assault Trooper (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Radiation_Zone_Assault_Trooper) bucket.  The lightsaber hilt and the helmet are gonna be combined with one last image element that I need to draw for the final version.  It's a cover for a friend's story on SWFanon.

Got a couple of fresh pics (made today!  No, these are not stale!).

First ever image of Shaak Ti.  Drawn in pen, no less.  Not just inked, drawn in pen.

And because I was able to crank out the design in a short amount of time, a t-shirt design mock-up of Shaak Ti.  The lettering was done by hand.

Yes, it's a Shaak Ti-shirt.

They're also sneaky with their submissions address, so I'll be sending my five-by-eights to their main headquarters.  I'm hoping to be picked up as a Sketch Card artist.  It took one artist two years to get in.

Posted on: December 07, 2011, 08:28:28 PM
Topps doesn't allow for digital coloring for their sketch cards (fine for portfolios, though), so I dug out my acrylics last night.

How much are you charging for it?
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Gaia on December 14, 2011, 03:05:55 AM
Usually for paintings.. I'd say $25.86 USD at the most. $100.00 USD (or more) if you are shooting for paintings much more to your fancy, mainly movie posters (I do belive those are hand-painted back in the day, am I correct?) and such.

I'd hope the painting finds a good home, it'd be devastating to sell your hard work to a nimrod who can't tell from a valuable peice from [parasitic bomb].
Title: Re: Quickie's Stuff.
Post by: Quickman on December 14, 2011, 05:38:20 AM
How much are you charging for it?

Considering the size, and how long it took me to paint it (a week), level of detail... and from what I've seen paintings sell for (just prints of paintings), I'm not going any lower than $100.  From my own research, that is the usual retail price. 

Prints around here sell from $40 to $100 or more.  For a print.  An original can fetch up to $200.  Star Wars.Com used to sell Glicee prints and lithographs for $89-120, depending on size and print.  And I've seen a Greedo sofa painting sell on eBay for $150.

Basically, I was given the "secret Santa" request to draw Corran Horn and Mirax Terrick.  Doing what?  That was left up to me.  I couldn't make them [tornado fang] like rabbits, since that's what they usually do, so I just drew them smooching.

And gave Mirax a nice, round ass.  Jelly should like. XD

Cal Omas (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Cal_Omas) is an EU character that everyone is chomping at the bit for a picture of.  We're hoping he gets a pic in the Essential Reader's Companion.  So, in the meantime, we've been making jokes about he'll never get a pic, or we'll only see the back of his head, or he'll be at a masquerade ball, dressed as a stormtrooper, etc.  Essentially, we'll never get to see his face.

So, I drew Cal Omas.

Enjoy.

I finally saw Avengers (I missed it in theaters due to being poor at the time), and is it just me, or is Sam Jackson really lame in it? It's not his fault, it's just that his lines were so cheesy. But then again, he could've just been really overshadowed by everyone else.

I wanna tell you guys my most favorite line of his I've ever heard in any of his movies, but I just wanna make sure that a spoiler tag makes it appropriate to post, given it is explicit in nature.

Well, since Topps is releasing their latest sketch card set this month, I prolly won't hear back from them until the development of another set, which could be a couple months or more.  In the meantime, I was told to send them stuff once a month to let them know that I'm still interested.

And until then, have some sketches.

The process is still ongoing and it's not gonna pay a lot (I'd get a buck or so a card, and I'd be drawing 100 cards, plus six returns), but it's a start.  They've released a new set this month, so I won't hear back for about a couple months.  In the meantime, I'm still beefing up my portfolio and I'll be sending art samples once a month.

This will get my foot in the door, and will allow me better access to larger projects.

Got some sketches.  Practicing with character likenesses.  I find Luke's likeness a bit easier to nail down than Han's, though I still need to iron out all the kinks.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img405/844/lukesketch02.jpg)

Luke didn't turn out too bad.  Some issues with the mouth and jawline, but I'll hammer those out in other images.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img197/9554/hansketch04.jpg)

Han turned out awful.  The only thing that's good about this image is the linework.  I referenced from a tiny Indiana Jones image and three photos of Han.  It still fell flat.

(http://imageshack.us/a/img688/327/hansketchtrollface.jpg)

This one turned out a bit better.  Referenced from an Adam Hughes rendition and two photos of Han.  His trollface amuses me.  He still needs considerable work before he gets to a point where I'll be satisfied.

I'm using slightly-mixed media for these cards.  The only thing I do to them in Photoshop (now Paint.NET) is adjust the levels and color balance (even though they're black-and-white).  The pics are penciled and inked on Bristol board cards, and shaded with brush pens (a fancy name for markers).  I use acrylic paint for the highlights.  Entirely traditional media for these.

Thanks.  I ended up taking a break from sketch cards for a bit, but now I'm back working on them.  I started on Tarkin while sick with strep, and he came out a bit young looking.

Though, this unintentional young Tarkin ended up having a better likeness than RotS young Tarkin!

I can tell you're getting tired doing these.  I hate to nitpick,  ;^; but 4-Lom's hand looks like its way to small in comparison to the body.  Boba Fett's helmet appears that it had a blind date with a trash compactor (its too squished), and Dengar's face looks like an orc had sex with a gorilla.  On the other side, I love you're Vader, Tarkin and Yoda.  They look fantastic!  Zuckuss looks great as usual, and I can't really complain about Bossk.  And don't anyone jump on me for what I said, because I can easily point out WAY more things wrong with  my own artwork.

Haha, true.  Yeah, I'm not too satisfied with 4-LOM or Fett.  Dengar was just a pain in the ass, and that angle never looks right.  And I can point out a ton more things wrong with the other ones, too!  But, yeah, 4-LOM, Dengar, and Fett were drawn when my wrist was giving me a lot of trouble.

Since I had the figure on my drafting table while reposing it for display, I decided that it was high time I break out my gouache paints and give them a try!

(http://img801.imageshack.us/img801/1306/hg9p.jpg)

Just finished the grayscale shading, so there's my setup.  I needed to wait for the paint to dry a bit, as gouache is very water-soluble.

(http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/9789/94x.jpg)

The grayscale.

Even after the paint had dried, when I applied the color wash, it mixed the grays around.  That's how I learned just how water-soluble gouache is.  It's like painting with thick watercolors.

(http://img845.imageshack.us/img845/2982/bzj4.jpg)

The finished piece.  For now, at least.  I may apply more touchups later, but it's done for now.  Media used: gouache on an acrylic wash.

I'm liking the gouache.  For my next project, I plan to use it, perhaps do a mixed-media, as I like how acrylics aren't as water-soluble, and since I layer my paint, it's better that the medium doesn't dissolve the layer beneath it.  But, for a quick experiment, I like the results, and it gave me some experience with using gouache.

Looks great, would make a great horror movie poster, we'd just need a catchy title.

I reeeally like that forest background. That came out super well.

And of course, everything else is wonderfully detailed, as usual!

Ringman does good quick coloring, so he's now my go-to for quick colors.  He has a few tricks he uses to make things quicker.

You know, it feels really good to relax my style and just draw mindless cartoons.
