olympic do fast!!! ARRRRRGGHH!edit: Okay...whew. came in like 5 minutes under deadline here. My original character, Gwendolyn. has an event where we have to draw a character doing an Olympic sport. Not necessarily a character in THE Olympics. So, Taekwondo is an Olympic sport and some Taekwondo kicks are used in Gwen's Hardluck Freestyle G martial arts. So, there you go. Yeah, I basically cranked the hell out of this, starting earlier this night. Probably the fastest I have EVER drawn something of a reasonable quality. Much Megaman and Sonic the Hedgehog video game music was listened to while cranking. Got the shakes now... I would have like to add a background and polished up here and there, but considering how friggin' fast I was working, I'm kind of amazed with myself. Deadlines are a bitch!!

You'd think with a kick that well executed would be a black belt

She can go through the motions of more complicated moves, but there are a lot of relatively basic things she has to work on like... breathing.

I feel like you should do a comic of her doin taekwondo on some sap because she definitely looks like a fighter

She's the main character in the Skitterpunk Hellsprite comic I'm working on, so there will be some of that, lol.

I don't know if his comics are your forte but you should check out jorgegaray 's deviantart to see what I mean

Well, doing it and knowing what you should do with it are two different things, haha.

Thanks! Pose was totally inspired by looking at pics of dudes doing this kick.

looks like the move from kenichi the mightiest disciple

I can honestly say I know nothing about Kenichi, but if you recommend it, I'll check it out. I need something new to read and maybe a little inspiration.

Cool. I'll be reading that.

I think deadlines push us to crank out some amazing stuff on short notice
π: 0 β©: 1
I found myself kind of enjoying this deadline, in a masochistic kind of way. I know if I hadn't had the deadline, it would have taking longer to come up with something this decent. Still, I'd like to go back and polish this up, just a little bit. I look at it today and see all sorts of problems. It was a good exercise though. I need to get way faster and not nitpick the little details if I ever want to get anywhere on my book.

Quick deadlines push the procrastination down to a minimum and just get the brain juices flowing on overtime to grind out the best ideas possible and use more critical thinking to make decisions on your feet.

I end up talking to myself a lot. Verbal directions to myself give me focus. And the videogame music helps. When I hear some Megaman music, I get this intense, but really positive vibe. Conditioning from my youth, I suppose. I doubt I could do it every day.

Megaman music does the same for me dude. ESPECIALLY THIS JAM: [link]
I know what you mean. I could do finished works probably all week long, but I'd be so tired. I feel like I need a recharge after I finish a big piece, so I generally just relax and do speedpaints.

Thanks for bringing that music to my attention. Very interesting.

I enjoyed the Maverick Rising Album by OCremix. They had some pretty awesome Boss Theme mash-ups

Yeah, I'm gonna have to listen to the rest of this Maverick Rising thing.

albums free for download. There should be a link for it underneath the videos. They're a group that just does videogame remixes and stuff and share for the love of videogames

Tae kwon do is an Olympic sport? o.O Either way, I like the picture and pose, good job!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yup. Taekwondo, Judo, Boxing and Wrestling are olympic sports and that is all I could find for martial arts in the Olympics. There is a push for mixed martial arts, but I think it'll be quite a few years before we see that. Thanks!

Looks legit to me, and it being your own CHARACTER you're aloud to change minor details as you see fit!! Good job I like it, gets me in the mood to draw my two Martial arts inspired characters; Kyo and Mai.

Great! I always enjoy seeing more of your characters.

Pretty sweet! I like the form here especially

Based off a real kick. I most likely fudged the positioning of the right arm and some may argue with me about the fingers being held like that, but it's been a long time since my Taekwondo classes. Still, appropriate for the character. Gwen has trained to keep her arms in guard position for so long, I doubt she could drop them.
