Description It's finally done!!!

If anyone EVER asks me to draw Rampage again, I swear, they will be sorry.

Third of four requests from DA (and one more from BWInt). I'm afraid the last one will have to wait for about a week, coz my friend is coming to stay for a while. Should be fun, we'll be doing a lot of stuff...look out, London! (She'll be here in less than an hour, so I'm making this quick)

The pic: a request from She asked me to draw Depth Charge and Rampage going at it in an arm wrestling competition...or something along those lines. I decided to give it a humourous twist, which I couldn't stop laughing at!

I drew DC first coz I thought, "I've drawn him before, but he's a bit tricky. So him first!"

.........how wrong I was.

I've never drawn/coloured Depth Charge digitally, but I have drawn him before. I have never, EVER drawn Rampage before. Oh. My. Fucking. God. (Pardon my French)

I don't CARE if he looks funny. I don't CARE if his proportions (or DC's) are off. I'm actually pretty OK with how he turned out. The both of them actually.

I'm telling you, it was so hard to find good reference shots for the crabby crustacean. I couldn't find a single one of the perspective I wanted. Looking back, I should have done it the other way around, as I found loads more back shots of Depth Charge, but by then I had already sketched the ray. Typical.

However, I'm very happy with the shading. Thank god for the dodge/burn tools. I used to think the were pointless, but I've recently looked up tutorials for things like background and fire and stuff, and their usefulness has come to light!!!

Speaking of background, yes, I have been practicing some, but this one...I just couldn't think of anything interesting. But at least I did shadows. I think I've only ever done floor shadow once before. Ever.

I almost left this unshaded to give it a cartoony look, but the colours on both of them just wouldn't allow it. I hope I salvaged the cartoon feel with their expressions and the litle lines around their head and ands
I know, the anvil looks shit, but it's the comedy that counts right? Right.

Depth Charge and Rampage (c) Hasbro
Art (c) Jagna-Q7...c'est moi!

P.S. It's not that I'll NEVER draw Rampage EVER AGAIN...but not for a long, LONG time.

P.S.S. Lawl to the anvil and the dynamite!

Toorah!

Either way, Rampy loses. That anvil will cause DC's arm to push down the detonation switch for the TNT. XD

That's a fair point. Unless Rampage decides to blow his arm off as well XD

I bet DC! Hands down!!!

OMG, this is wonderful Jagna! You did a good job on the coloring. I sympathize with how hard it is to draw those two. I'm saved by my screencap collection alone....

Thanks so much for the hard work you put into this!

JaggidArt In reply to Starath [2008-08-04 23:18:54 +0000 UTC]

Rampage isn't photogenic. He just would not pose! Stubborn crustacean!

'Tis not a problem. Once I got over how tricky it was to draw them, it was quite fun. 'Specially the comedy moments.

Actually, the second hardest thing was finding the right colours!

Starath In reply to JaggidArt [2008-08-05 04:10:51 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I know! He's horrible like that. I swear Rampage does it on purpose to spite us.

Actually, I'll give you some advice on colors. Pull up a screenshot or pic of the chosen bot in your program and use the eyedropper tool to "steal" the color. Then find somewhere to paint the color so you don't lose it. It's what I did for my pic today!

JaggidArt In reply to Starath [2008-08-05 09:14:54 +0000 UTC]

That's exactly what I did. Only thing is, even with that tool, sometimes the colour wasn't quite right. For example, I might accidentally pick up a bit that's too light or too dark. >.< And now I can give you some advice. Once your nearly nearly there, just fiddle around on the colours toolbar, and if it looks too light or too dark, don't change the colour, just use the fill tool with a white/lighter or darker colour, but with a low opacity. Then just decide whether it looks right after three or four goes

*Reads post again* Pic? Pic? *goes to look*

Starath In reply to JaggidArt [2008-08-05 22:58:58 +0000 UTC]

Ooooooh. HAY. That sounds like that'd be easier than using the smudge tool to "shade" every blessed thing. *takes notes*

The pic isn't posted yet cuz I've gotta do all the detailing and mess with it til I'm convinced it's perfect.
