Art Battle
 

Hello, Ulisses31 and i thought this would be a fun new idea soo heres what he came up with:

Hello forum artists, this is the "Art Battle".
The place were you are not alone with your art. Just get a friend and start a match.
Here artists pair up from time to time to offer unique renditions of certain characters and peers could compare the styles.
More of a round-robin form of recreation than an actual competition.

First Art Battle - Nicko vs CaseyJonesFan

Who will be next?

Ohhh pick me pick me! :)

I think redeemer want to pick you LOL

already someone else wants to do it? sweeeeeet ;)

Buffy! I challenge you to a duel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Buffy do you accept Redeemer challenge? Now you two need to set the rules for the battle, example: choose a character or else, choose an end date or something, choose a weapon LOL or not :o

My entry for Bebop. It came out a bit too light I'm afraid...

Pretty cool to say the least I havent even started yet to tell u the truth Ill probably do it 2nite and post it up 2marrow.

that Bebop is pretty sweet :) im almost done with my Catwoman April for Nicko

Sweet toon style :teek: *faves*
Fun stuff, I'll get working on mirage casey asap :tgrin:

Catwoman From Channel Six!
 

heres my drawing for my art trade with Nicko. He asked for a sketch of April the Catwoman from Channel Six. her hands are a lttle messed up but i tried lol im bad with these kind of poses...

Awesome drawing CaseyJonesFan!

That, is friggin' epic ( °A°)!

ok my pic is up yay XD

If you can add some black to the line-art it would look less light :) I´ve done this line-art on paint.net automatically with a toll named ink sketch, but you can do it by yourself to add strength to your draw.



Great art. Why no COLOR?

I'm not so good with action poses, but i hope you like it :tsmile:

Do you consider it finished or will you do something more? (ink and color)

http://i48.servimg.com/u/f48/12/68/13/09/artbat10.jpg

I'll probably clean up the lines :)

duuude i loooove it! :D

anyone else wanna challenge me? :tsmile:

thank you :)
glad you like it man! and i love the casey pic you did for me!
thank you, and me and nicko just decided a sketch trade was good for us. I'll color the next one I do ;) and i'll probably end up coloring april eventually for self interest lol

All of the art I have seen on here so far are great, some really good stuff. I hope to join in on the fun sometime soon.

Regarding the Art Battle between Nicko and CaseyJonesFan, I will wait until everybody has cleaned up their lines and/or added color to cast my final "vote."

One thing I hate about the current setup of the "Redesign Contest Series" is that it all comes down to clicking the poll without any opportunity for feedback for the artists' sake. Thus, I'll try to offer some helpful compliments/critiques for both pieces.

Nicko's Casey Jones
Nicko's Casey Jones is certainly pretty messy at this point, due to it being very much a sketch. However, I do give him credit for his ambition for the background. He was trying to really set the stage for the action, and I would love to see this cleaned up a bit so that the art can really shine through.

Regarding the sense of depth and perspective, I think this piece falls just a little short of the intended effect. Casey's upper body is clearly supposed to be tilted (right arm in front of left arm as he's bringing his stick over his head), but it looks a little flat from the frontal view. I think it's only slightly off target however. It's a good pose overall.

Also, kudos for the Turtles in Time reference! Now I really want to see you flesh out an appropriate video-game-esque background!

CaseyJonesFan's The Catwoman from Channel Six
I've always liked the look of April as a cat-mutant. It's not a fetish or anything (because there are some weird ones out there), but I just think she looks awesome that way.

He really nailed the face and hair, which look very close to her appearance in the Fred Wolf episode (which appeared to vary slightly from scene to scene, ironically). I was surprised he decided not to draw the belt on the jumpsuit, but it looks good anyway, the unobscured zipper really gives her a sleeker look. All the details on the jumpsuit are good, showing he paid attention to the original character design. I have trouble drawing folds and creases on clothing, but you seem to have simulated them very realistically.

The tail is staged well, although I think it may be a little shorter than it should be.

I like how he rendered that text, with the CWfC6 text big, bold and outlined with some depth and the "April O'Neil" looking very cute and feminine (he did dot the "i" with a heart!). It's a small detail, but I think it adds a lot to the piece.

Obviously, the big problem here is that right hand/paw, which the artist admitted gave him trouble (I can see the eraser marks from earlier, failed attempts). The left hand looks fine (glad you remembered her wrist watch!), but that right land looks like it got cut-and-pasted onto the wrist. Making the hand a little bigger would help fix that problem AND it would give you a chance to showcase her fearsome claws! While I don't consider myself a great artist, take a look at one of my takes on the character and see what I did with the hands; it might give you some ideas on how to improve.

I second the call to color this! I can promise you an instant "fave" if you decide to upload this piece to a Deviantart account.

Thanks for the thorough input :D maybe i can clean it up & give the foreshortening another go..

**** i totally didnt realize i forgot her belt ^^' and yeah the hand gave me soooo much trouble haha. the real problem with that was i was looking at a pose of The Black Cat from spiderman and her hand was like HUGE! when i tried to draw it it looked way off so i tried to redo it smaller but the more i redrew it more it still looked messed up. I'll definitly check out your link and if i recolor it i'll be sure to add the belt :3 thanks for the cunstructive critisism (i think thats how its spelt lol) :tsmile:
