Quick Tips “Attention to Detail”

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Hammerknight | Comments Off

I posted this to the forums way back when, and I was thinking a quick tip here and there would be good to post here on the blog. If everyone likes the idea, I will post tips here and there from here on. There are a lot of tips in the forums, but I know that there are people that do not visit the forums that do visit the blog.

Remember to size the head to the body. Paying attention to these little details can make a big difference in the way your character looks. This shows the heads at x=100 y=100 and the bodies at x=100 y=100. Adjustments to the head or the body is needed to make the character look right.

Strike a Pose Challenge #2

Posted on January 3, 2013 by Hammerknight | Comments Off

After the big response we had last week I decided to do another pose this week.

Here it is "Brute" by livewyre1014

brute pose

The rules are still the same. No limit this week. One thing to add, if you name your character please include it so that I can put it with your character when I put them in the comic pages.

A big thanks to livewyre1014 for the pose.

Bad Super Costumes

Posted on January 2, 2013 by Hammerknight | Comments Off

Here is my go at Bad Costume day. I'm going with this version of Storm. When I think of Storm I think of a long white haired woman floating in the sky like an angel. Then they go and give her a mohawk dress her like a bad punk rocker. What can I say, I didn't like it at all. A big get well soon goes out to Kaldath, hope that you are feeling better soon.
