I'm pretty certain I can spot half-baked work, slipsius. Sure I dont know its application, but this does not look like something I will see in a portfolio and give a thumbs up to.
Do you want to know why you're going to get a bunch of negative replies?
It's not that your artwork is bad or anything, although it could use quite a bit of work.
It's because you just recently signed up for the forum , and you're throwing around "your gay" jokes. You look at other threads and see how all of us are constantly calling each other gay, lame, homos, making fun of each other's dogs, cats, alien Perna sex toys, family, and I think you fail to realize that most of us have either worked together before, or have known each other for a very very long time. Slow it down a bit.
As for tha Art, clean up yor lines, and add some gradients to the colors. Define some shapes by using darker versions of the main color. Also make sure you perspective is properly aligned, right now it looks like a slightly warped 1 point perspective.
peter thanks for your advice on the art. as for the big boy talk i have friends on here too who read my posts so sorry if my fun offended you but i dont need you giving me the grown up speech.
LMFAO @ FERG, i choked on my mashed potatoes. If you catch my drift.
Either way, im sure this guy would have a killer silhouette if you drew his profile. On the other hand, I'm gonna have to agree with what was said about the line work, the lack of color, and FALSE ADVERTISING. MOAR TESTICICLES.
I like how his hood looks like a ring tailed monkey humping his neck.
I like how he's obviously a big burly redneck outdoors men but has some of the limpest wrists I've ever seen.
I like how he's into his personal appearance so much that he either dyes his mustache or his eyebrows.
I like that he's so into Tom Selleck that he grows a fan-stache and tussles his chest hair (or is that a shirt?)
I like the penis shaped zipper medallion.
I like how his neck and chin look oddly like a bunch of other pics in this thread.
I like the condom on his head.
But most of all I like the shading, its super gay.
look folks if my gay joke offended you all that much i apologize. it was ment to be fun and clearly some people saw the friendly humor in it. i started posting on here because im just starting out and im still learning. any solid critique is very much appreciated but if youre just gonna go on an high school kiddie rant like Vig keep it to yourself man. its disappointing coming from you.
A little bit of background on your piece would go a long way to getting the response you want - like the 3 magicians thread - telling people what it's for, what style you're aiming at etc would help a lot if you want crits.
I'd suggest - if you're not done with this, to have another go at the steering wheel and his hand, as the perspective and scale looks slightly off.
The face , the gun and the background interior of the car look good, but some extra details ( for example on the door frame, where it's simply a large expanse of red, no seams/window trim etc ) would go to making it a much more polished looking image.
right on johnny thanks man. its not done yet ive just been doing drawings based on photos of my father and using them to get the hang of painting in photoshop. i did an old man on a tractor before this which can be found in my digital sketchbook. i take my mistakes from one piece and try to remedy them in the next thing i draw. as for style, what you see is just kinda what comes out when i draw im not really trying to emulate anything just kind of doin my own thing.

lol Vig was just pointing out that your initial comment was childish by responding in the same manner as you but you totally missed that:poly142:
Strangely enough you got more responses than (imo) you deserved for a piece of this quality!
Agree with Vig on the hat and the hood, they don't look right plus I would roll the nearest sleeve up to show some forearm muscle.
Well Vig i did respect you and your opinion. now its not worth a damn to me
Really broken up about that, hard time sleeping and all, don't know what I'll do =P
I guess your more of a cook than a connoisseur? If you're going to cook it, be prepared to taste it before you send it out. It might keep you from sending out some pretty distasteful stuff.
If you want professional level critique you might want to choose a more professional posting style?
If it all really is all in fun than you shouldn't mind when someone pokes back. Seriously you can do better, now get crackin because there has been more than enough things brought up that you should work on.
His balls should ride shotgun. I agree with Vig, I don't get the logic of saying it's all in fun in one post and then being pissed with a cheeky critique the next.
Your perspective in the image is a bit whacked check the back seat and it's relation to the rest of the vehicle construction. Not that you can't decide to break rules for stylistic impact but you really need to decide which rules to break and then do it consistently. The pose on the hand gripping the steering wheel doesn't feel right, the hand isn't a rigid block it can cup and grip. As it stands it doesn't look like it has a relationship to the steering wheel.
Ferg and jocose thanks for the nut inspiration, it's pure polycount awesome, and helped save this thread from itself.

though, his little blip of text is somewhat disrespectful and has no place on forums such as these.
somehow
Keep going.

Cheers mate, welcome to the count.
And not just normal testicles, oh no. I was promised giant testicles.
I WANT MY GIANT TESTICLES

Keep at it, Photoshop is a helluva drug.
Clearly you've not been here long
Search for ANY thread with Perna's name in it.
