Description It was a good haul. Two carbines, some ammunition, and an unconscious Sangheili.

He sat down, his father's hammer at his side, and looked at what was either a compatriot or a meal. He hadn't eaten for a long, long time.

"You neither, hmm?" He said to an approaching duo of infection forms.

Haha! That's a great line of dialogue! I love the lighting in this one... very much so. Boy, I wish I could draw like this.

I always want to put in too much detail, and it comes out harsh and brutal. Then it looks drab and sometimes, blank, when I run it through my bitter, evil scanner. Perhaps I could take a tentative page out of your book...?

Not likely to work all that well for me, given my styling, but... who knows, it might help me to lighten my hard strokes a bit, eh?

Yay for not eating the Sangheili?

right. my book basically says: "do not outline anything, let light and dark surface speak for themselves". this is not a horribly practical philosophy for lineart (for example).

and detail is beautiful. if that's your style then go for it. I am really bad at detail

..."do not outline anything..."

Now there's something I haven't heard before. Though I guess given what I've learned from my own random scribblings, it does make a whole lot of sense. It also inhibits the problems arisen from crossing outlines - such as for a skull when you're trying to add hair.

Thanks for the tip!

well, i say that because teacher favoured a super-quick sketching/painting style. If you are not limited by time then of course a more detailed sketch using a light pencil (2H or below) would be best.

no problem, it's your own road to walk...

Well, sure, but I like to pick up variance and tips and things wherever I can. Self-taught doesn't necessarily mean I ignore other people's advice.

Yes, well, see, I too am "young and inexperienced and not qualified for dispensing said advice". So I say you haven't a bone in your body to stand on when you make that your excuse!

I mean... if you had just one class, one little lesson... that's more than I ever had.

*happy spin and squel* As i said, i do like Sangheili. I prefer Jiralhanae, but I have always fancied that if the Sangheili and Jiralhanae were just slightly less of dicks, they would have conquered humanity without any trouble.

They're both such dicks though.

love that deadpan last sentence. Perfect summary of the (non-)relationship.
