Description Woo emo time! 8D

So, at around 1am this morning I had this crazy to try out what *crookedtrees is known for, or at least seems to specialize in, so inspiration was originally from them if you aren't aware already, pff.
Basically, characters emulating, based off of pictures found on this lovely website, (with the original reference I used: [link] )

So I decided to try a semi-realistic Marty. I will be totally, and completely honest, this freaks me out as all get out. Blacorites aren't meant to be realistic, I realize 8C But I did like doing his eye, that was fun.

This painting was a freakin' challenge, one because he's got rubber skin, not, human skin. So trying to make it rubbery sorta failed, and the details around his eye were hard to make look rubbery too. His hands, those were the worst. Not to mention, trying to convert a human into a totally different species and still portray similarities was a challenge itself, I have no idea how well I did on it.

There's a lot of anatomical/disproportional errors too, I'm pretty sure of it, and lighting is way off in some areas. I'd appreciated critic for this, honestly, I plan on trying more of these in the future, so anything is helpful at this point for those experienced in digital painting xD It's tough. :I

So with that! Emo, creepy Marty! (Ya'll didn't think you would see him like this, didja? XD)


The picture with the reference, for comparison: [link]

Textures for the papery things and overall picture were used from [link]

Marty and Species belong to Me


So waddaya think, should Arezo be my next test subject?

Whoa Looks great to me! The textures and lighting look awesome, and it's very intriguing to see Marty look so real - like you said, almost kind of creepy! But I like it!

NuclearLoop In reply to SylveraDrake [2011-10-16 20:32:18 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! Yeah, I guess any kind of more cartoony character made more realistic can be kinda creepy xD

You're welcome And yeah, they usually look really weird - they're cartoony originally for a reason

Arezo heck yes >:U Do it.

This is like... freakin' fantasmicly delicious 8U And not just cause it has Marty. The details and textures are just amazing. And I think you did a great job on the semi-realism, even for a Blacorite. I think you did pretty well on the rubbery effect. I imagine it to be rather challenging so you pulled it off nicely! And I actually had trouble deciphering if this was digital or traditionally painted. It almost looked like an actual canvas! Which is good, of course. :D

The glowing stripes and light reflections are probably my fav part. They are so soft and placed just right. And his eye is really pretty. ;o;
Shadows and stuff too are fab. Overall this turned out great. You matched the reference really nicely!

Yaaaaaay symbolism!

Psh I so will >:U

Thank you so much! xD The details were the hardest part, mainly the parts of his face that are cracked, getting them to sort of mesh was really hard xD

His eye was my favorite part to be honest XD

Now you just have to pick which art piece to reference! 8U

You're welcome!
I imagine so xD I also like how you did his eyebrow and eyelids, and the little cracks in them. I like details you see. :U
