WIP : Dark Jedi Robes art
2005-04-09, 3:28 PM #1
Hey guys, in the light of Episode III I went crazy with photoshop and designed this art from scratch. Its still not done but I'd like some feedback on what you all think. Maybe it'll give me ideas or see problems I'm blinded to. :o

** Edit : Actually I lied hehehe, the man design was made in vector in Illustrator, then ported to photoshop where I painted the colors onto it.

DARTH PIPPIN!

I agree on the boots too.
Code to the left of him, code to the right of him, code in front of him compil'd and thundered. Programm'd at with shot and $SHELL. Boldly he typed and well. Into the jaws of C. Into the mouth of PERL. Debug'd the 0x258.

I think the shoulders are fine. The boots are too tall and rounded and stubby, making them look cartoony, and the legs are just a little too short overall. Legs are usually taller than the torso, and yours are the same height as the torso.
DO NOT WANT.

that looks like a 3D model, the shading is so well done. That's a compliment. fantastic job.

Jepman, good to see some stuff from you!!!

Thanks for the comebacks, I agree on the boots but I had gotten to like them like that. But I figure it'll be easy to reshape them a bit.

As for the legs *slaps self a dozen times* I have to be the crappiest artist with proportions heheheh. I'll try to more the legs up and squeeze the torso, or the head, I myself feel the head looks topped on an awefully long neck. Might just be me heheh.

Hey Zan, nice to see ya again. Aye, I've got some important projects, like a enitre graphic overhaul of www.darkjedibrotherhood.com on the way and 2 upcoming websites for a Star Wars gaming site (not mine) and an EVE Online club.

Don't mind the slow loading, the server is from overseas and isn't a very good one at that. Since Massassi.com removed my access I've been server-hoppin' from crappy to crappiest LOL

Rofl, whats with that Oh. My. Gosh. under my nick? Have I become a legend already? "OMGOMG! I spotted the Jeppie!" :o

Here's an update, tried fixing the feet, giving long boots like the Jedi trully have, and tried to make the legs longer / torso a bit smaller. Did I end up giving him a major wedgie? :o

I don't like the website designs

and think about the shape of a foot, it should remain relatively flat until you're almost at the leg.

You don't seem to notice the foot has a pad over it do ya?

And I'm surprised Massassi still allow some people to post things like "I don't like this" and just leave it at that?

If you liked the design, how about being a little constructive about it, give suggestions, OR better yet, just shut up? :P

A: they still look like big, like slippers, even under the pad on top of it.

B: thats a perfectly fine comment.

C: almost everyone did give suggestions. belive it or not, telling you what not to do is also constructive critisism. you then know one more thing not to do in the future.

I was refering to the "I don't like your websites" comment.

Comments on the character are fine, I even try modifying them. But that other statement was simply stupid. Heh.

Make leggy longer!
2005-04-10, 11:41 PM #18
The legs should be about another head's height longer. Male human legs should start roughly halfway down from the top of the head.

His shoulders are rather wide, which may be making him look short. They're not insanely so, though, so lengthening his legs should fix most of that.

The boots are definately an improvement, and I really like the belt and sabre. And the whole colour scheme rather works, too.

The thread seems to be about the Robe art, I was only going to bother elaborating on my website comment if you asked. I'm not going to waste my time preparing a massive spiel unless it's asked for.

Perhaps, but the comment was like smacking a guy and not telling him why? :P

Go ahead and elaborate, I don't mind hi-jacking my own thread if it can help make my stuff better heheh. I got what I wanted to know about the robes. :o

Looks good. What did you ever do with that Tatooine map that was going to be for JORPG? That was pretty.
2005-04-13, 10:06 PM #26
Heh, I'm surprised you remember. Well that was lost in crash, which also caused me to quit editing out of pure exhaustion. so much effort put into a map that simple gets erased in your face.

hehe

Only made like 6 JO skins ever since.

Yeah, and what the hell happened to that HUD you were supposed to give me? Heh, kidding. Haven't needed it in years.
