SHIII-inspired sketches

CCIP · 12-20-05, 02:47 PM

I think I've done it all now with SHIII - screenshot series, stories, movies, mods - and now I thought I'd try my hand at drawing.

I'm a complete art n00b, technically speaking (it's not part of my profession and I've not had any art classes or projects for a good 7 years now), but I try.

Here's a couple of sketches I did recently.

(~40 minutes pencil + 10 photoshop)

Stylized:

Original:

(~3 hrs pencil + 40 minutes photoshop tweaking for both)

Anyone else tried to do anything like this? Do share!

Whoa...nice work there, I've tried drawing U-boats before, it ain't easy at all!

I drove an Alpha russian sub a while back, in pencil as well - inspired by red october movie. Haven't tried much since, but I think you did a very nice job there~!

Ahhh, so we do have a few artists after all... I am relieved.

Nice sketches.

I just wish I could draw like that.

I have hard time to draw even a stickman.

By the way, how does a good stickman look???

Hey Markhimov - and inspired by you, I made my own loading screen out of it

Marhkimov · 12-20-05, 03:32 PM

There have been so many short stories, sketches, poems and drawings recently on the forums that we should consider and Subsim Art Forum (with Torplexed as its caretaker)!

Marhkimov · 12-29-05, 04:22 PM

Maybe, but it depends how many people would use such a forum...

I'd hate to have another empty and uninteresting forum...

I can bs and say I drew my sigpic, but it's only photoshopped SH3 screeny (with a handwritten Type941 signature). :P

Nice drawings guys.
