Description

I wanted to make a drawing to celebrate the 85th birthday of the robot. Karel Capek debuted his play R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots) to its first audience in Prague and its with this play that the world was first introduced to the concept. This however, has absolutely nothing to do with robots or their birthday.

Instead, I just started to play around as always and it led to something else completely. At times I flirted around with it so much that I gave the lady fairy wings, and what else. I've also uploaded the ten or so 'Work in Progress' images for you to see how manic my workflow can be. For a while I even doodled  trenchmaker's 'Hakulla' in as well.

I've also realized that this entire piece is somewhat similar to my favourite Aki Ross wallpaper. That I will upload or link, once I find it. Any similarities to Aki Ross and  Slither-Astray are purely coincidential :o

Materials Used
Alias Sketchbook Pro 2.0
Wacom Intuos 12x12
Donkey Tranquillizers

Lol, me and aki similar?!? I'm not sure I even want to know in what possible way!! :p
Anyhows I'm glad you took out the wings and scary insect look she had going on for a short while. Love her face.. she has something calm and warm about her. I'm not sure I'm getting the link between the pic and the 85th birthday of the robot... or is it sectretly your 85th birthday? Are all robots stupid? is samus considered a robot when she's in her suit? Can A.I. create it's own emotion? If so should they be considered humans? what makes a human a human?
:p

This one really shows off the strength of that line of yours. The whole piece is really moving. I was looking through your works in progress and i kind of liked it with the floating flowers but maybe with a couple more making their way around the piece. Great work.

On a side note I was thinking this one must have come pretty easy because I didn’t see any use of stimulates or sedatives. But then I saw it the donkey tranquilizers. i didn’t realizes the market was still there for donkey tranqs. They must be making a come back.

Very nice work, clean line work.
I think it would look great in color, or even with some shading maybe.
It took me a while to see that her left hand is behind her back, at first I thought it was the insects head (she looked like a pirate ).
Maybe you can add some contrast between the lady in the drawing and all that is behind her?

Nice
But think the Background is a bit to busy because of that the main character is a bit merging with the background. I think you can you can lower the opacity of the background layer to bring more focus on the main character.

hey home skillet...I really like the 8th WIP. The final is great, but the compo in the 8th one is a bit more interesting IMO...keep pushing that sweet style! (thumbup)

 Fyralath - thanks but youll see colour from someone else really. i spend so much time on drawing that colouring just seems to be overdraining. i might just one day.
 Slither-Astray o.O
Elite, GFXartist sponsor PJClapp - actually matt, i've noticed that a lot of kids are into kadamine nowadays.
 cupcake ,  Daykan, Elite lolita ,  MaiteGoitia and Elite, GFXartist sponsor Madanapale - thanks
 Valera and  cgmonkey - you two are absolutely right on this one. i'll fix it soon. i just came back from out of town.
 deankuhta you know when you work on something for a while and youre tired of looking at it and know its just got to end. it just sort of felt that way. i deleted a lot of bg elements because i didnt want to make the entire scene confusing.
 seeThrou - thanks aaron.
 Cigaro - because i wanted to protect your young mind from such things.

Nice and clean! The flow is beautiful! :) Heehee, off topic but -- what kind of eraser do you use?

 06/22/06 @906

good work, i like it, well composed, with a free wheeling spirit to it...one crit, the hand over the breast, the wrist seems...off slightly, the angle is just strange there, i had to dig around the image a lot to come up with that crit though, i just hate to leave short "nice image" comments.

  Aldor - thanks :)
 Hemlawk86 - sure go ahead
 klyph - i use Alias Sketchbook for my drawings and i use the basic hard eraser that comes with it. in real life i use a simple faber castell or a kneaded one depending on the situation. i also swing between a 3h pencil and a 4-6b for finishing.
 PeterGrave5 - oh yeah the hand totally blows. im still trying to perfect them. thanks for the critique :)

I think your drawings are getting better and better.
I really love the compositions you recently thought up for them, and also the poses look great :)

@ the last 20 "members" above me, also called Asiya: Hun, I'd suggest you to at least decide which account you wanna keep cause having more than one simultaneously definatly violates the rules and you could get a permamnent IP ban for that. XD

Nice job on the composition--good balance overall.

It took me a couple of glances to figure out where the figure stopped and the weird little background thing started. Maybe a slightly darker, or more profusion of, lines around the figure would split them apart. I also agree that this worked better with some smaller interest points, like the floating flowers, which added some variety to the shapes.

The body itself has very nice lines and a great sense of balance. The ornamental wrinkles in the dress are really complimenting that feeling of balance and motion in the out-thrust hip and counterbalanced shoulder, arm and head.

That hand over the breast is bad wrong, though. There's no contour line breaking the forearm from the hand, so where the hand would be dropping back to cover the breast, it actually appears as if the arm is somewhat straight. And the fingers look like she may have had a tangle with some heavy machinery.

This is a really nice piece, though. I enjoy your work :)

6/9

HEY I though I commenten on this one! Oops!
I like her face alot. But her hand seems a little fatty. He hair and the lines behind are really nicely done Bakatron. Also some nice mystery involved with trying to figure out if she is half naked on the right ;)

Concept:

Average

Technical Skill:

Average

Impact/impression:

Average
Pros:
Good lines and understanding of anatomy.
Cons:
Theres not much to it, you seem to stick to the similar subjects (posed) and style thoughout all of your work with very little variation. No backround to speak of and no colours.
Overall opinion/feedback:
A nice pencil drawing but you need to start developing more technically and composition wise because it seems that you are stuck in an artistic rut at the moment. You need to start stregthening your colour work if you want to take this style to it's potential.
