This thread has inspired me to start drawing/painting again. It's been way over a year since I did any...
Makkon that last one is stunning, love the lighting.
Here's a ticket, done in Mudbox on a plane using symmetry. It's quite cool using the grab tool like a photoshop liquify to really quickly reshape lines and shapes.
@Makkon-- looks like we'll have to be satisfied with mutually jealousy then
Also, you can never paint too many skull things, otherwise I'd be in trouble with my sketchbooks...
So when I said that Mezz's tag was tempting I had no idea that I would end up working on it straight through to morning. I'm very tired now, but I think it was worth it.
I'm posting two versions; what is technically the 'final' one and the pure anatomy mockup that I worked from. I've discovered that I have extreme difficulty keeping proportions happy when there are clothes floating around, so I've just been starting the pose like a nude figure. Seems to be working out, if a bit time intensive.

oh, and I think after Mezz and I have had our way with this one it's become a bit less androgynous
I'll get to your bloody bleeding skull-man in a week or two Makkon Unfortunately I gotta go state-hopping again for a week or two so i won't be painting, but once I get back i'll be done and able to get back into a rhythm.
@Massbot-- glad you decided to fuddle with some 2D and join the party. You've got some really awesome 3D work so I want to see where you go here.
I ran out of steam on mine as well, so hopefully someone else will pick this one up and do something cooler with it.

also, here's a ticket for you all-- a sketch from my domwar entry for 2008:
Gauss, this is extremely slick. You've shown some huge improvement on subtle human/female forms lately, these last few tags of women are awesome and reminding me i need to spend more time on pieces/take art more seriously in general. You need to post some non-tag work in p&p for my inspiration folder!
Do you mind if i pick your brain about color/skintones on msn sometime? It's something i really don't understand very well and you're hitting what i've personally been shooting for (and missing) really well.
Sorry for the essay to break up the thread guys, haven't had much time for art lately. Here's a (shitty) ticket rushed out before i head to work to make up for it:
thanks gauss, and I'm glad you dredged up that old tag. Here's a quick one to change the direction around, though after the fact I realized how much it resembles a poor man's Samus.
wake I like the most recent one a lot, but why so stingy on the size? post as big as you want, it's the 90's! i'd like to see that piece reposted at like twice the size at least
Suprore: yeah I noticed looking back through my tags they've been almost exclusively female, but I'm also happy about the progress. Thanks for the comments about the skin tone on that last one--my photo ref was black and white. But then again I built most of the base tones from the relationships established in wake's last iteration, so I can't take all the credit. Anyway yeah, hit me up on steam or MSN etc. whenever you see me on.
edit: also Makkon get a dropbox account you dummy, your work should never get pulled because it's maxing out a stupid account

Dunno wtf is going on with it but I had fun!
ticket
Well, at least for a couple of days. Then I have to disappear again for a little longer. But then I'll REALLY be back.
@Massbot-- I dig the ticket. I've got a bit of a backlog to get through before I can get around to yours, but I'll get there
Anyway, I had to do a quickie before I went to bed to get the juices flowing.
makkon > Ravenslayer > wake
Though Mezz's tag is tempting... maybe I'll stay up just a tad bit later...
Oh, and another great post Makkon. Well played.
Uh....ticket. It's official, I paint too many skull things.

I'll be diggin out some tickets this week to throw into the mix.
ON a related note:

I posted in there but maybe it's of interest or useful for anyone who likes the sketching and the drawing.
I am going through saving lots of images trying to decide what to paint over

A rescue from page 14. Intended as warmup, worked for about 4 hours instead.
