That is really good, I tend to learn how to draw better when I copy things, and this is a definite picture that I'm going to copy.

I love how you played with the different tones to set foreground and background. It really gives a spin to the composition.

Wow. This is so realistic to what it's like playing through Metroid Prime it's insane--the tangle of movement and the urgency of the situation at hand really come through the great work you've done here so far. The shading is lovely--it looks like you your hands are steady, as in some areas of this piece the shading looks feathered--like it was applied very delicately. I'm in love with this piece.

This is amazing.

Well, I don't even know what to say...
except to thank you very much for your comment and to repeat myself when I say that this is what's so rewarding about doing this artworks!
I'm now only hoping that I don't ruin it all by colouring it!

I'm sure that you'll only make it better by giving it color.

VERY cool! I have a question though: How do you shade like that?

Joelchan In reply to nyra711 [2010-11-23 13:42:34 +0000 UTC]

Great!Really glad that you like it!

Now answering your question:
first of all I think that it's because of always watching Joe Madureira's artwork wich influenced me a lot! Then I just use different pressures on the pencil; i.e-low pressure for the bg shadows and high pressure for the
silhouete and the in shadows of the characters(to make them stand out of the rest)! You can also use this technique with 2 different pencils(wich probably will be more easy)-One smooth for the bg and another rough for the characters.
Hopefully this explanation will help answer your question.

Well, it isn't so much pressure that I was wondering about...what I'm wanting to know is what type of pencils you use? Mechanical? HB? etc?

Haha!
Depends how you look at it, it looks like Samus is doing a side-sweep kick-like attack on the Ghost Chozo in front of her lol. Or she's going to kick it's leg. XD

I've always thought it would be cool fighting Ghost Chozos
(And Space Pirates)
lol

Your lineart is totally amazing. ^_^

Samus pose is kinda hum, eccentric, but it's still in motion. Non-dynamic pics are boring, good thing this is totally dynamite. ^^ Love your chozo ghosts btw. The bg seems nifty as well.

Can't wait to see this in color, but I'm very fond of awesome lineart as well. :3

I'm doing my very best to finish it A.S.A.P and trying to make the pic even better looking (because of the general positive feedback you all are giving me, this is looking like a big challenge)!

Thank you for the comment!!

I love everything except what you did with Samus's helmet. That looks a tad bit off.

By the way, hopefully you'll be glad to hear that I tried to do a slightly change on the the border of the helmet over the visor(if it's that you're refering to...) while colouring it!
Once again, thanks!

Hi there!!That really wasn't in my plans because I'm alredy colouring it and all.
If you like I can make another different picture just for you to colour it, but if you really want this one so badly, I think I can arrange that but you'll have to wait until I finish painting it!

Sorry for not saying anything sooner but I'd like you to know that I'm still doing the line art of the castlevania piece.The only problem is that it's taking me more time than I was initially thinking.
With that said, I apologize once more for not saying anything and taking this long to conclude the artwork!
Feel free to colour it afterwards!
Cheers!!

I think it looks great. Those buggers drove me crazy even after I got the X-Ray Visor. Speaking of crazy, I love how you made them look as if they'd gone insane, which is definitely the case. I also love the background; right away I knew where this was.
