Things from the Piss of Metal

[Kuhneghetz]

If you look closely at the picture, you can see that sigma-icarus actually butchered TDR's Cacodemon pic with crappy MS Paint lines.

 

[Craka_J]

Could've at least used Photoshop... but this... this just sucks. Lol.

~Craka_J

 

[Pyritie]

It's the thought that... counts...?

 

[Craka_J]

Lol yeah but it kind of looks like he drew over the original drawing/painting by TDR in paint and then said "I MADE IT!!" which kind of defeats the fan part. Plagurism?

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

he didn't say that he made it. This would have been ok with me, but I really feel offended that he said it was made by "some swedish dude"....mother fucking ignorant.

 

[Craka_J]

Lmao, good enough reason.

Well the part where he says he made it is more less literal and its more practical, by how he submitted the picture with his name as the author.

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

Hey everyone! I'm back and with something to show. I just made this last night, because I wasted the whole day doing nothing and I didn't wanted to go to sleep with that feeling of a wasted day...so...random shit once again:

 

[frostwhisper]

His expression screams "BOOORED!"

 

[HappyTauren]

No it says: Oh noes, I wasted my day
But yeah, awesome concept.

 

[SuPa-]

HE'S ALIVE!
How's it going?
The concept looks good, I like the eyes lol

 

[TDR]

I drank some stuff that made me feel good now

 

[FamousPker49]

Awesome candle thumb with one leg and a lazy eye on a chocolate cake. But it's really been done so many times before....

 

[TDR]

it has? pics or it didn't happen.

 

[TDR]

'till that happens, here's "CREEPY ROBOT'S EXTERIOR IS MADE UP OF ARTICULATED BONE MATTER" (daily sketch @ CA.org)

 

[frostwhisper]

You bring a new meaning to the phrase Robot Chicken.

 

[TDR]

ha!
another daily sketch for ca.org:

"WHILST BATTLING THE MONSTER, THE OLD WIZARD USES THE WRONG SPELL"

 

[Craka_J]

The terrain looks too plain and blurry (Not saying you used blur). Add more detail to it, at least to the cliff where the wizard is standing on since it is closer to the viewer and thus more detail is/should visible.

Nonetheless, its sexy.

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

I won't add anything more to it, it's supposed to be a quick sketch and I already spent too much time on it, on the big guy especially. If I wanted this to be a finished piece I would have done what you said.
Here's another daily sketch I did for yesterday. Took 1 hour:

IN A GREY GARAGE, AMIDST THE JUNK, IS BLACK & ORANGE HOVER HOT-ROD

 

[Craka_J]

Only one hour? Wow. /clap

The lighting/shadows in the garage is very good and the asphalt has good detail. But I noticed a couple disproportional things with the car.

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

There may be disproportions, [lame excuse]it's a fast sketch after all[/lame excuse]
Here's another thing, a Pain Elemental that I made to have reference for the modeling comp:

 

[HappyTauren]

Holy shit, it makes my body pain just by looking at it! If you model that I am going to have nightmares!

 

[Squiggy]

That one just looks plain sick :>
Very good work

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

Someone make model out of that pain elemental! D:
Good job

 

[HappyTauren]

He IS making a pain elemental for modeling compo.

 

[X.e.r.e.X]

He IS making a pain elemental for modeling compo.

Fail from me D:
I only read to the part where the name showed up *self slap*

Pissing blood? I suppose its that time of the month..

Anyways, looks awesome, can't wait to see a 3d form.
--donut3.5--

 

[FamousPker49]

it has? pics or it didn't happen.

Oh I was quite kidding sir. Nice sketches, I wish I had half that talent.

 

[~Void~]

I think, looking at all of these (actually just the first one on the first post and your pain elemental), that you could make your fire and blood and other special effect things like that (don't know what to call them) a little better, right now they look like WIP and the rest looks amazing.

 

[TDR]

K folks, update time! Here's the finished cockatrice piece and a Demigod for WoG (level 8 unit for Tower)

 

[WILL THE ALMIGHTY]

I wish I could draw that well with a pencil.

The soldier looks good, but his head posture is kinda weird.

 

[Lestat(br)]

holy shit the lighting on his body is perfect, also, the perspective on the background gives an awesome effect to it. i didnt like the face though...

 

[Sephiroth_VII]

Yes nice shading, I'll see if I can learn from it.

 

[donut3.5]

The lightning up the arms looks nice, but at the hands, it looks way too solid in terms of colors. I must say, the background and the legs are simply amazing though.
--donut3.5--

 

[Craka_J]

Time for some constructive criticism on this piece! The bottom half of the Greek (He looks Greek) soldier and the background is very well done, as expected. However, the upper body looks rushed. The muscles on his side where the ribs are seem to be a tad too far away from where they should be - I may be wrong though - and worst of all, his neck up just isn't that good. His face could have used more shading/lighting. The setup of where his head is facing while his body confused me at first and I thought the helmet was drawn wrong, but I figured it out now.

Just trying to be more of a constructive criticism guy today. Not being harsh.

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

Hehe dude you don't have to mention "Not being harsh." to me, you know I'm not that kind of guy.
Anyway, I totally agree with what you said and those things bothered me too. I don't know why I didn't changed them, I guess I was more focused towards colors this time or something.

 

[Craka_J]

The lighting is very good though. But I'm not too sure about the lightning. Its good, but parts of it look more like ice or scribbles. The lighting is best on his left side, but may be a little off with his shoulder/bicept on the left; his skin tone is too dark compared to the rest that is actually lit by the electrical pulses.

I'm just a nice guy - or so I try to be - and so I feel that I always have to mention that anything I say negative isn't because I feel like being an asshole. But yeah, you are you and you know your mistakes. You're still awesome.

~Craka_J

 

[HappyTauren]

Head posture isn't really odd actually, look how his right leg and arm are bent back, and the left ones opposite, so it is natural that he looks to left (from his perspective).

 

[TDR]

It's been almost exactly 3 years since I made this self portrait (reference: mirror):

And never did any more since then...until now. Yesterday was the international self portrait day so why the heck not:

Made it fairly quickly, and for reference I used my reflection in the window since is exactly on my left.

 

[Craka_J]

I like the second one better. Looks cooler and the facial expression is cool too. You look like a mixture of Jesus Christ, Tom Cruise, and... some other guy that might happen to have a pony tail.

~Craka_J

maybe... Steven Segal?

 

[Craka_J]

Lmao, yeah, he does! Too bad TDR doesn't have a fat head.

~Craka_J

 

[TDR]

haha...jesus...

 

[Dionesiist]

Ironic how you're friends with the anti-christ, eh?

 

[TDR]

he actually look more like Jesus than me...

 

[Pyritie]

Do you use any special brushes or just default ones?

 

[TheToastedChicken]

why do u think hes using brushes? ^^

 

[Kuhneghetz]

Because he hates dodge, burn and smudge.

I'd guess TDR used the normal shaped brushes as what I can see in his picture.

 

[rober artua]

Wow Looks great . I have tried to make self portrait but I was very tired to hold my sketch book while drawing

I love the colour choice u have here

 

[LiOneSS]

The right eye is... weird. Other than that, good.

 

[Dionesiist]

It's always bugged me, didn't you have your trademark ponytail back then (first self-portrait) or was it simply not visible?
