Howdy. I'm Brik and I like to draw. However, I am not satisfied with my current level of skill. To remedy this, I will post something on a weekly basis in the hopes of receiving critique and using it to level up. Fire away! Latest post: |  |  |  | Quote: Here is a new character from the same world as Meeka. A sassy lady with a chip on her shoulder, it's Anjie! Overall I'm quite pleased with this one. There are still many things to improve, but I managed to overcome several personal hurdles while drawing this particular piece. Woot! And speaking of Meeka, here is some new lineart of her. The truth is, I've never been completely satisfied with the design of her prosthetics. There are nice elements, but overall they are far too simple-looking and take away from the rest of the outfit. For me, this is the drawing that confirmed that. Thankfully, I ran across a guy with an actual prosthetic leg while I was thinking about how to redesign Meeka's, so that provided the perfect source of inspiration. I'll be posting the new and improved version shortly. EDIT:Almost completely new design for the legs, along with an attempt at keeping the rings. I do like that aspect of the original design, but I'm not sure how to make them look less... tacky. Additionally, here is a drawing I made many moons ago of Anjie's husband, Oscar. Even though it's an older one, comments and critique are still welcome. If Link can learn from his past self, then so can I! |  |  |  |  |
POST#1This is some concept art for Meeka, a character for a game on which I am working. You may recognize her from my sprite topic.

May the Big Cheese send delicious aromas in your general direction. Here is a work in progress crossover between two of my favourite things.

Did some more work on my Attack on Igor piece. Enjoy! Comments and critique are much appreciated. I should learn how to shade metallic surfaces; the box of the maneuver gear is sub-par.

FroMage best mage. For metallic surfaces, from my experience, the important thing is what they're reflecting. As an example, here's a rendering of "3D maneuver gear" with a mostly Glossy material; And here's that same scene but with a diffuse material; My shaders aren't perfect but I think they communicate that the overall shading and light source stay the same, but with more reflective materials, you get to draw more reflections :D

Goodness, it's been more than two weeks since I last posted here! This is clearly unacceptable. I've been working on 30-60 second gesture drawings which, while incredibly useful, are not the most interesting thing to show. Anyroad, I figured I would learn basic anatomy by drawing some of my favourite characters. Combination of fun and learning and all that jazz. Up first is the coolest Hyrulean ninja, Sheik! I can already spot a few problems, such as the torso being too long and some issues with symmetrical placement of details (the "screws" on the chest being the biggest offenders), but overall I'm fairly happy with it for a first effort. Have to keep leveling up, though! Shading and a few fixes to come.

Poof! Sheik falls in style. Like a ninja. Additional details and shading to come. I might fix that back arm, too. Something about it bothers me. Comment and critique, woo!  Very woo.

Daw, thanks guys. That's really cool to hear. I welcome any tips on what I could improve as well. EDIT: Oh, by the by, I would love some requests. I have to keep pushing myself, and I feel that some outside motivation would be quite helpful. Thank ye.
