<3 Biofungus did you draw that yourself or just inked it its so cute like you <3


BUT there are several anatomy issues like he lookes like his neck is dislocated and so is his right arm, his right arm is suppose to be forward but now it only looks like its unnaturally short, the stomach is also strangely caving in USE REAL LIFE REFERENCE babes <3

Actually, I did see one major glaring error, that I attempted to fix in Photoshop:

His arm is going backwards, so the water bubbles from the staff, and from himself should be on different levels.

Egets, you seem to have a problem viewing perspective. This isn't the first time you've mistaken perspective for some kind of distortion. That's not to say I did it perfectly either, but it's not so incorrect that it's easily missable.

Pretty cool.

Neptune has some ripped abs.

could you explain?

My inks get no playtime here ;) but that's why I post them, to try to improve. I did this all with a nib and brush (feathering with the brush) and thought I did a little better (than last time at least, since the biggest crit I usually get is about my feathering).

And for the record, Egets is a girl, but even if she was a he, heck, I'll take the compliment :p

Egets I don't know what you're doing.... but Mark's perspective was fine in the original. You just have to be able to understand the movement of a character. The way Mark drew the arm is the cause for the curve of the body and limbs leading into the angle he's turning his head at. Putting the arm in front of the body and straightening his head up and down isn't correcting any problem Mark might have had with getting Neptune's right arm to show properly foreshortened.

Hey,
Don't take this the wrong way, but that does not look like Nib or Brush. I would say pigmas or microns. No offense if this is nib, you need to work on it.

Good Luck,

[Biofungus]

I'm not entirely sure how to take that. Does that mean that my control is too fine, and less "organic/flowing"?

And no, I don't take it the wrong way :) But I can assure you, I almost never use pigma/microns, and even when I do use pens in general, it's more for technical things or curves (in which I use a template), but not for general inking.

[Mecha]

Mark, I think it means it looks more technical (not as much lineweight transition and change throughout all the linework) than the usual handling of a crowquill or brush.

[egets]

I think that it looks funny the way the neptunus is touching the water with his finger, its like comic releif or something I mean why would he touch the water like that ?

[Mecha]

It makes sense if it's viewed as him rising out of the water.

oh baby now Im impressed :laugh:
