Description Morning doodle for myself.

Back in the day, long before I was drawing Spidey and Bob Ross ownin' his viewers, I was pretty much the kid who in school drew skulls. Lots of them. All the time. And not just like plain ol' skulls, but these hyper-realistic styled withered skulls that sometimes had eyes or hair or a hand. Yeah, I was like Pushead Junior. I was even asked once by my French teacher if I was distrubed or was in need of help. Nope, just liked drawing skulls. Then I got out of it and started to draw superheroes .

So this is more or less a pirate skull. Hey, with the POTC2 comin' out and this is sort of like fan art but not really, I need all the pageviews I can get.

Media: Microns 02 and 08 with a Graphic 1 for heavier lines on sketch paper.

Did I? I fancy myself as the best Pushead rip-off on the Eastern Seaboard. One of my Three Pillars of artists that made me want to draw.

This is really good. The only things I would change would be to make the eye ball a little larger and the jaw structure looks a little outta wack-don't get me wrong though I'm just trying to help!

I love this picture! What do you use to get such thin lines? are you a computer graphics person?

NickMockoviak In reply to Snurflets [2006-07-08 02:45:08 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! No, I'm not a computer graphics person. I use Pigma Microns to get those nice thin lines. I believe on this one I used an 08 and 02 marker, and a Graphic 1 to get those lineweights. I'm old-school like that. or just too po' to afford PS .

Yeah, I read in your description what you used after I commented. I was to lazy to correct my self though. But in any case keep up the good work.

nice.. the texutres are very well done... i can feel the bone in there the bandana feels real because of the folds ... try blacking out the patch to make it pop out
how did you do the hair? did you do it in one long stroke? it looks nice great job

NickMockoviak In reply to ubod-ng-lumpia [2006-06-25 21:54:53 +0000 UTC]

I did the hair in long strokes. I started at the skull and just let my hand fly in all sorts of directions. And eventually, I got meself somw hair .

Thanks man!

Anyways I really like this. Great job !
I'd like to see more of your skulls. no. I didnt mean skills. Really, I meant skulls.

NickMockoviak In reply to Fidjies [2006-06-22 12:58:35 +0000 UTC]

I wonder about you. I really do. Such a cute icon, probably a pretty girl (no pic), and yet all you want from me is death and decay.

And who am I to turn down such a request? Don'y worry, my skulls will pop up from time-to-time.

Fidjies In reply to NickMockoviak [2006-06-29 04:31:13 +0000 UTC]

hehe I'm a mistery girl am I not ?

Well I've been meaning to change that icon because it's starting to bore me And I've been meaning to prepare an id ... I've been really busy though lately. So someday I will do all that hehe. Someday.

I WANT DEATH AND DECAY ! lol Naaahh I'm not like that ... I just appreciate any type of powerful art hehe. If you wanna draw barbie and it's powerful enough, then please do too. Along with the skulls

Yo, that is sooo FRESH!

Ha ha! I said -FRESH- about YOUR ART!

Ahem... Anyway, dude the texture on this is excellent. You can tell that you were very specialized in skulls. You've developed you own look to them. Love it.

Love it so much I think I'll...

NickMockoviak In reply to MTCarpenter [2006-06-21 18:11:31 +0000 UTC]

"Fresh"......man I really wonder about you sometimes. I really do.

I try Matt. A lot of times it's just like, "Well, what do I need here? How about some spots for shading (I forget the name for it) here or some hatchmarks there?" And it's all about making the skull look...well, like it's seen better days. If that's possible.

It's all about the looseness bro. Try it one day, you might like it .

If you wonder about me, does that make you... The Boy Wonderer?

HA!

Looseness... Hmmm... I must look into this concept. It is foreign to me...
But you're right. I do need to loosen up more.
