Description

SHE BE MECHANIZED!!

I wanted to do this for a while now, Mechanising umm.. something, or someone, and who better than dear Natz >:]

This was actually a sketch too, and i liked it so much that i decided to clour it in.
The hardest things here where probably the legs, and helmet. Since i hip hop, pop and learning to shuffle dance, i wanted the pose to look like one of the moves i do.. <3 heh.. And the helmet, well.. due to Mecha wearing a helmet style thing on his metal cap (like Marios) it was harder to just place that without the cap.

Another thing i had issues with was the fact Mecha has a solid structure to his anatomy, built like a tank.. but not far from how i draw other stuff.. but yea, female anatomy wise this suit took a few moments to see where and how it should be re designed to fit Natz.



Drawn by hand, coloured with Crayola pencils, re lined with ArtLine fine liner in 0.2 and 0.6 tip.

Digital Enhancing: Cleaned the background up a little, get rid of the pencil marks, (did not rub off line art) Adjusted contrast and gamma settings, used air brush tool for a nice even colour on the "scope lens" and highlighted that a but too.

watermarked

Line Art: 20 mins.
Colour: 4 hrs.

Mecha © =NatSilva

Hope you like it




EDIT: I left my wings at home lol

Holy shit...
That was the first thing I could think of when I saw this...O_O

How...omg, I can't find the words. Natz, you're a friggin' genius. This is totally...freaking f#ckin' badass!! It really is! But I think you already know it yourself...

The colour...god, it kicks major ass. I love it, I really do. I don't know why...how do you manage it to make it so soft? D: I wanna learn that too...DX< Especially when it comes to dark and metalic colours. I'm a total loser when it comes to them.

Anyway...god, you look so damn awesome in that outfit. 8D And you know what? I really like the picture you draw of yourself. I think I wouldn't have enough patience to draw so many pics of me. But you...I simply adore them, Natz.

Yet again, your hair looks so awesome. O_O I really can't describe it...so...genius. And the red glass in front of your right eye give the whole metal look an extra touch.

Simply amazing, Natz!

Daww Cora girl.. You know you have fan bloody tastic colouring skills >:] dont be shy to admit them now 8D

Anyways, how i make them so smooth? Well ill let you and anyone who reads this I like giving out stuff that can help friends out

1) this was done with Crayola pencils, make sure that they are sharp.. and very very lightly shade the area in (like pants or anything else) that will be your base colour (same as digital) then for shading you can just grab thr same shade or go darker shade (like either black pencil or darker blue tone) and add some lighting concept to your base, slowly though.. and go in one dirrection, sometimes turning the paper round to get in to the tricky spots.

2) After youve done all that jass 9coloured everything) heres a tip lightly rub the colours in with your finger.. the natural oil from your finger tip will blend in the pencil colours, and also if you wanna make it metallic looking, i suggest you get a white pencil and lightly highlight the areas you want to look metallic.

3) When scanning place heavy books or something on the lid of the scanner, that way the closer your pic is on the glass, the more the scanner will pick up details. Dont push down on the scanner lid with your hands, when scanning.. if you are shaky the scanner will pick that up- just heavy books will do like a phone book or something..

4) When scanning, make sure you edit your scanning tools.. meaning you shrink the image, mine is always like over 2000x's 1200+ when i first preview it, so yea shrink it. (dunno how your scanner works so i cant explain it well) then adjust the image size yet again, i always scan mine at highest resolution. 600dpi. (you can see the image size on the right hand corner of peoples devs) yknow how it says what file size ect? yea.. mine are always and sometimes PNG file format. But JPEG is a smaller comp friendly file to save as too

Hope that helps

And wow, thanks for the awesome comment.. heh.. her legs where so hard to do.. :T

Always play with your levels, because On paper, then Put through scanner, then The digital version, unless you have a high-end scanner you are not going to have the same colors when it gets converted to it's digital form, plus it's always smart to play with them anyways to pump the colors up and try to make it look cooler..

Yea.. :3 my scanner is pretty old <3 lol, but i trust Canon, they have some heavy duty stuff >:] and even if my lids come off its hinges it still lets me scan stuff that needs crisp line work..and not really having to tinker much with it too :3

Hot dang, that's some suit of armor ya got there.
It's weird how some sketches can turn into really amazing stuff. LOVE your pose, just exudes confidence and a total badass attitude. >:3 Nice effort with all them details, especially on that helmet. Cool shiny effects all over, the most obvious being on your pants. Gives a cool, metallic image, exactly what it should be.
Have fun in that suit, and go back and get your wings as well. Flying and whatnot sounds very enjoyable. Oh yeah, use your powers for good, plz. We're all screwed if you turn evil. ...xD

Wisp: ...ah, well how about Didz, can he help?

Ben: Let me check...*looks to his right* Nah, he's having a nosebleed.

Wisp: Ah, of course...*seeing a puddle of blood*...we should probably get him to the blood bank then.

Ben: Alright then, cover his eyes and plug his nose. I'll drive.

oooh, she looks very pretty. I like the mechanical hat you have. the anatomy may be well done and the pose is very cool, but...

[critic]
the well built anatomy is a downside to the mechanical feel you are trying to present. it would help if you had some things unproportional to get that real mechanical feel, for example, Bunnie Rabot from the SatAM sonic show:
[link]
without some disproportion, she looks like shes just wearing a costume.
[/critic]

just a little helpful advice from me.
