Quickie's Stuff.

[Protoman Blues]

Fun with drunken bounty hunters.

Bossk's got a Chack Dan'yuls No. 27 Corellian Whiskey (he likes it straight) while Dengar is slugging down a Korr's Lite.  Trying to watch his figure.

I love the way you shade with pen so much

[Quickman]

That is actually pencil, just tweaked in Photoshop to look inked (lil digital inking technique I picked up), however, the same techniques for shading are used.

[Krystal]

Oh, it looked like ballpoint...well, pen-shading-style then!

[Quickman]

Well, I do use a mechanical pencil.  0.5 mm lead Pentel.  It produces a nice, smooth line with a moderate weight.  Pretty much my primary choice of pencil.

Posted on: May 26, 2011, 04:09:38 AMJust 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.



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

[Krystal]

Uwah the stippling is cool

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.

[Quickman]

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 AMAnd speaking of a t-shirt design ala my Greedo shirt...



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

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



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



Helmet is a tweaked 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.

[Protoman Blues]

You should design your own Lightsaber, Quickie! Also, nice t-shirt.

[Krystal]

Nice shirt =w=b

[Quickman]

Thanks.  I'm thinking after making my shirt, that I may post the design for sale on Zazzle.

Posted on: July 21, 2011, 09:45:55 AMGot 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.

[Protoman Blues]

You should try submitting these to TeeFury.

[Quickman]

I'll need to resize them to meet the size requirements, but what the hey?  I guess I will.  I got the six-colors-or-less palette pretty much figured out.

Posted on: July 26, 2011, 07:55:21 AMI has a very big pic.  All ink.

[Protoman Blues]

Daaaaaamn, that's amazing!

[Krystal]

Niiice~

I was a bit iffy about the depth of field at first but the way the lines go makes it work so kudos to you.

I like how that worked with her rather than against, so props to that. I like how it came out myself.

[Sky Child]

gosh quickie have i ever told you how good your sense of contrast is

[Quickman]

Well, I now have a colored version that took me about a week to do, mainly because the image is pretty darn big.



Both this version and the black-and-white version are going in my portfolio.

[Protoman Blues]

That's just incredible!

[Dr. Wily II]

In total awe.

[Quickman]

I bring you a couple sketches!

Most of my creative time has been taken up by crocheting scarves.



A long-since-retired old Gunnery Sergeant Tuffass, attending some VGW (Veterans of Galactic Wars) function.  I might color this one some day.



First ever sketch of Cad Bane.

[Gaia]

Been awhile since you posted stuff here, huh?

Cad looks great here.

[Quickman]

Yeah, it has been a while.  Darth Real Life has been making himself quite comfortable, which tends to curtail a number of projects.  Haven't really gotten much done aside from a dozen sketches and partially-finished pieces.

[Gaia]

By the besalisk's foot, that must've been dreadful, but in the end it managed to be a continuous source of inspiration. Plus you got to draw a Clone Wars character for the first time! 

[Quickman]

Darth Real Life is the most powerful Sith Lord, ever.

Anywho, started coloring a pic...
