Description This is an image of character Melanie, that he requested I draw. So, well, here it is! I am pretty darn happy with this image. I think the smashed car worked well, and I think I captured the look and feel of his character as well... at least, I hope I did!

In this image she is using her powers to smash a car. Why? I'm not sure, maybe they were trying to drive it into her so she had do smash it away. Or perhaps she doesn't like older domestic automobiles!

Done in Photoshop CS on my WACOM 12x12

Usagisama In reply to bazookabird [2004-07-09 05:58:57 +0000 UTC]

Heh heh, yup, he either got out just in time, or perhaps there was no driver to begin with and she just hates parked cars!

LOL, yeah, I hate 70s/80s American cars, so I like to draw them being destroyed when ever I can

Oh bloody hell! Don't let her!!! Let her know they are notoriously unreliable, and ugly!! Get an older Japanese car, or European, but for the love of god, avoid domestic like the bleedin plague!!!!!!!

Heh, sorry I got a bit carried away!

Lol! Yeah I think I convinced her. She's moving on to early '90s models. She wants a Jeep cherokee. Whatever, I'm not driving! XD

Yup, ya just can't have an exploding car without a licensee plate flying off! It is a key part of the asthetic!!

She looks a little embarrsed to be destroying a car. It is subtle, but it looks great.

Heh, well the creator of this character said she wasn't very confident about her power, so I thought I should try and show it.

Wanton destruction... one of my favourite subjects. I like the shading and highlights in the clothing as well; good work. This makes me want to go get a Wacom tablet, just so I can learn how to use one.

Destruction, it really is the best And WACOM tablets do rule, I have nothing but good things to say about them... they are hard to learn, but once ya got it, it WILL be your favorite art tool!

You are so absolutely the mother frickin MAN! This is badass...my favorite part is how there's basically a big car wreck going on right by her and she looks so alright with that...and she would be. Awesome work on the outfit, too; the blotchy shading there is wicked... And that massacred vehicle is cool as hell. Slap me...this is COOL! Incredible job...I love it!!

I like the ruggedness of the shading and highlights in the clothing. It's overall roughness works well with the image theme. Also I think it helps give her clothes look more lived in and natural. The color scheme in this is quite nice as well. Good show!

Thanks, I really wanted to show her clothes getting blown around a bit by the car smashing! Not sure if it worked, but glad it still looked cool!
