Say Eggy, when you reopen commissions for full CG art how much do you think you will charge for it?

Unlucky Slayer · Mar 28, 2007, 04:12 AM // 04:12

That is a very good question. I may have to start saving up my cash for one.

egnki · Mar 28, 2007, 04:22 AM // 04:22

let see i think invertation already payed me like 100k

so prob somewhere around there.

Looks like Kanaxai's gonna be my prison b**** for a while.

*peeks in* Just a thought, egnki, if you don't mind input.

The hue you are going with for her skin is a little on the ashy side. I'd recommend trying something a little more saturated, maybe a more ruddy red-ish (depending on the skin tone/lighting/etc), to keep the skin vibrant.

Unlucky Slayer · Mar 28, 2007, 04:35 AM // 04:35

here is update for my current work

the skin is wonderful ^^ I love coloring so much and look like you do to.

Although one thing that you might want to touch up on(if you're not done, of course) might want to pick a dark color for the lips..the pink kind of gets lost with the skin tones. Other than that its looking great.

btw the hair looks gorgeous!

I lack words of description, and it still is not finnished. Keep up the exelent work.

Jeff Highwind · Mar 30, 2007, 03:14 AM // 03:14

Good lord that is some insane detail.

Foxeye · Mar 30, 2007, 04:51 AM // 04:51

Argh, I just reread my older post and realized I completely left out the word "shadows". Sorta dorky/clueless sounding without that, as the skin tone in general was just fine, it was only the darks I was referring to. Gah. Well, no harm done, you've found the right colors just fine without needing any comment. :P Looking awesome.

egnki · Mar 30, 2007, 06:53 PM // 18:53

yeah well...

i dunno how many times i erased the whole skin color and did it again.

prob like 6 times.

finally i got to skin color i like but it was too light.

fooled around with level a bit and thats what i got.

after that i just softened up the skin.

still WIP but hey its gettign along fine so far

egnki · Mar 31, 2007, 02:33 AM // 02:33

im gonna take a bit of break while thinking of background

maybe i'll finish queen chrisit's redo

its almost done anyhow.

Okay, I'm going to invade this thread for a moment. I trust most of the people here as accomplished artists, and so I am going to post this here, since this thread seems to be getting a lot of attention. I have been a decent drawer for a few years now, and my best friend is intent on becoming an artist herself (she's much better than I am

). She draws in an anime-influenced style, but my art is more realism-inspired. She has tried to help me with my horrible faces for quite some time, but the styles just don't mesh properly. I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to get faces right, other than just practicing and do the facial division thing, because neither one of those has seemed to help. I seem to get either overpowering eyes, or an odd spacing between the features... Also, if anyone would like to attempt to explain proportions to me, that would be a great help as well, specifically when it comes to the hand/foot areas. They look like they're supposed to, but they are typically too small and look really strange on the character in question.

I thank you for taking the time to read this, not getting angry for thread-invading and helping all in advance! I know that if you intend on helping, it's hard without an image, but, that's pretty much out of the question at the current time. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

Love the new stuff eggy!

Unfortunately I don't have any tips...I rely on practice and facial divisions myself and don't know any other way. :/ BUT I can say that if you haven't already, try to find a copy of Jack Hamm's art books in the library or in a book store if you have a little disposable income. He packs an amazing amount of information in, both the basic proportion stuff and the "tips and tricks" aspect of it. (And his books are cheaper than most how-to drawing books.) I've reread his stuff so many times and I learn something new with each passing.

My other "bible" for faces is "The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression" by Gary Faigin. Can't praise that book enough.
