Description So this is the original.
[link]
I almost never draw men and I have been kind of on a kick lately. It was my friend Carly who started it. She commisioned me to do her character Adrian.

So I like this. I contrast enhanced it cause the scanned washe dit out terribly. I picked up some of the pencil marks but it looks almost right.

Wonderful study in dark and light, with a nice chiascuro effect. You really have it down, describing the mass and musculature. Lovely -- I had to +fave it.

This is very well done, I think, with good control on the darks and lights for the muscular structures. I agree. Niice body.

the whole picture had very little defintion, just a bunch of highs and lows. we went back and forth if I could draw it or not. and finally he said yes. I'm glad he did!
Thank you!

Fun to see some male models in the mix. I wondered one day how it would turn out if you threw some in there. Voila~! there they are in my deviantwatch box, and I'm pretty pleased with the outcome. Keep up the good work!!

darkvenom [2005-05-06 12:05:18 +0000 UTC]

great pic, though i feel kinda wierd staring at it i much rather look at teh nekkid women lol but nay, its all art no? ( i saw this noted previously) but i agree that his left tricep seems somewhat off. it may just be the original but the muscle runs a little bit more vertical down the arm whearas your pic makes it look as though it is horizontal. other than that i like the contrast and the shadowed effect of this piece. great piece

Fantastic!
You can almost see the motion in this one, he doesn't look static at all.
As usual the shading is unfuckinbelievable (read as... really really good) and brings this piece to life.

Great work!!!

SixStringer [2005-05-06 11:35:01 +0000 UTC]

Great work as always. Good choice of pose--it conveys masculine strength and sexuality--with dramatic lighting. His left triceps looks a tad off; the tendon that runs down on the left needs more definition, I think.

xkxdx In reply to SixStringer [2005-05-07 01:33:48 +0000 UTC]

I can't believe I am saying this but it has been a long day which one is the left tricep??

SixStringer In reply to xkxdx [2005-05-07 11:08:45 +0000 UTC]

The triceps muscle is the big one on the upper back of the arm, which works in opposition to the biceps. If you flex it, you can see the big tendons that run down towards the elbow. (Btw, I noticed part of your sig is cut off--I think there's a limit of 255 characters.)

ack! I am missing some!

Thanks for the heads up wonder why no one said anythingto me before. Like driving down the road with your skirt caught in the door......


I see that you know it doesn't look like that in the picture It's something that came up in the glare and the contrast enhancement. I am not sure if I can fix it. I am pretty terrible with the paintshop. I'll give it a shot.

Hrrrrm.. it looks good!
Maybe the left shoulder looks a bit strange, but I guess that's due to the fact that I just woke up.

I'll check about it later and let you know.

I drew it how I saw it but it might. I am not going to look at it again fro a day or two then I can see what I did wrong. It hasn't been fixatived yet, so there is a possibility of improvement.
