So, I figured I'd make a thread to dump my tf related artwork. Input and ideas are welcome. I only have one recent piece, of Drift. I appreciate feedback!

Looks good. Good proportions and pose. But! I'd like to see a bit more color.

Thanks! I'm working on the colors, but can't decide on whether I should go more drift or more deadlock with the deco.

OK colored him more. For some reason the colors are out of the lines in places, even though they were practically perfect before the upload...

Do you use photoshop?

No, it's actually an art program on the 3DS, ide recommend it if you have one, it's called colors 3d. Lots of options.

You did that on a 3ds? Nice.

If you can, look up a photoshop-like program for the pc. The right tools can really upgrade your stuff. You've got the skill, now get those sweet tools.

The problem is I don't have a PC. This is my best for now.
I can take a photo of a drawing than draw over it or just straight up draw something new. It's an awesome program though. You can even color behind the lines, then erase the access, etc

Well, I don't know a lot about 3ds painting, but it seems you can color in layers (coloring behind the lines). If you want to avoid these 'white lines' between your outline and the solid colors, maybe you can try broader outlines or painting straight over the outline? I know it's a risk, but if you are careful...

That's why this is confusing see, I didn't use layers for This one. It just uploaded like that.

Well, I really like your design! When you get a PC I'd be happy to give some pointers. Plus, I'm taking multimedia next semester so I might be able to gain some new experience.

So funny v story, I drew lockdown, and he came b out looking kinda like dead end. But I like the way he turned out, and there's still clipping.... I think I figured b out why though. It's got b something to do with a specific brush or something. I'll fiddle with it.

Complications arose near constantly with this one. It s like 3 different characters before I settled on it being a character of mine, sans the whip sadly

Some more doodles and stuff. It seems I can't narrow down what it is I like to draw.




Upon watching and getting really into Jojo, I had to draw Dio. Usually when I draw stuff like this, it comes out crappy, but i'm proud of Dio here.

Wow! Significant improvement, if you don't mind me saying so.

Thanks, I nailed down what it was making the colors show wrongly and took a bit more time on these. Im a bit out of it right now though. Any idea what I should draw?

Well, transformers stuff is always good, but your anime art really shines, perhaps some DBZ or Attack on Titan?

Thing is, Dio was kind of a fluke. Every time I try anime stuff, like i said, it usually comes out crap. I can try DBZ, dunno about attack on titan though, thats got a complex style to it.

Enviroments. Seriously. Give depth to your stuff.

I spent roughly an hour drawing Cooler here. You said DBZ, so I chose the coolest villain.


For some reason, again, the transfer left weird little white spots here and there. I think it's the erasing tool I used, I dunno. But I'll probably fix him up and shade him and stuff down the road.

Hey just a suggestion man

I think this is the best I could do with attack on titan. I actually drew this months ago, but forgot I had it. It's my friend's design, I just made this version of it (with permission)

I think i'm getting better, because I've been surprising myself here lately. This'll be the last one I upload in a while.

These really do look awesome dude!

Thanks! I'm trying hard to get better, and i.m getting better with the software. These next 2 pitures are, not the best. One's good in my opinion, but one's a step backward. The first one is Dante, from the DMC series. The second is my headcanon optimus prime. He looks alot like my drift, which is why he's kind of a step down IMO
