Newbie needs some guidance!

I wasn't sure if you knew colour mixing, please forgive me, I didn't mean to sound like a arse.
Yes, it's a tricky one. I just hope I don't mix too much yellow into the shoulders, or get the red wrong on the mandibles.
I am gonna have to just wing it I'm afraid. I'll probably start a thread called 'Colourblind noobie needs some help!!' (keep an eye out for that one)

I would love to see your work!
I have no formal education in art save for what I learned in high school....

Okay, I think you'll be able to figure out which one is which. The balrog drawing (big beast from lord of the rings) is my original drawing and the one in color is for a game that my buddy at eggplant animations is going to turn into a game. The one that is all the fruit in stuff is my doodle 4 google (search it if you've never heard of it. The eggplant is the black and whits symbol I drew for eggplant animations. The mando looking guy is my own design but then I figured out that no one's head would fit in that helmet.
I would show you some even better ones that I made but they are currently not scanned into the computer. Maybe some other time though.
 
I checked out your Eggplant stuff, the games etc, I was impressed, there's a lot of passion an talent there!
I loved the anatomy of the Balrog, both versions in fact and you have created a very powerful image in the last Balrog picture, I like it.
The custom Mando would fit my pin-head...trust me. :)
Ah, the google image is great! (I googled eggplant animations, and yes, very impressive. :) )
Are you on deviantart?
 
No, I'm not on deviant art..... I just don't make enough drawings and such that people would find interesting..... Oh, you're going to really like our balrog game when we're finished with it. You will be a balrog that basically be a balrog that ransacs a city!
Any way, back on thread topic: How's the helmet going?

P.S. Love the sig.
P.P.S. I have some really simple animations that I can pm to you if you like. I don't want to goop up this thread with my stuff.
P.P.P.S. BTW, the paint program that I use is literally called paint.net if you want to check it out

I think your stuff will go down well on there, there are groups of guys who do the gamedev stuff. :)
My page is www.evarcha.deviantart.com/gallery if you get on there give me a shout. :)

The helmet is shaping up. I have been working on the visor tonight, clear perspex with window-tint to create the look, or similar...(I tried 2 layers of tint which made BLACK black, great to look at, nearly impossible to see through!) I'll re-look at this in the morning. Working on the rear-grille, wondering should I fabricate the circuit board too...I probably will cos I am a sucker for detail. I went through Antman's thread, his first bucket and was blown away, it was that thread that inspired me to start work on my own helmet.

I'm dying to paint it now....but must continue prepping.
(thanks man, I want this sig on a t shirt)
(please do!)
(I will look it up, but I am a photoshop user, I have been for about 8 years now....can't use anything else, g.i.m.p is good though)
 
If you do get your sig on a shirt make 2 and I'll buy one. And I'm glad you like em. I also have a hand drawn animation which is just me gradually drawing the eggplant animation symbol but the file size is too large. And from what I read, I would say that you need some 2 way glass (can see through one side but not the other)

JFK, what time is it in the big kingdom when you had your last post? for me it was at 6:49 in the evening.
 
Haha, I am glad u like the Sig. I am sure if I make the shirt I won't be making profit from you, I know a guy who makes stuff, a good guy, I will get a good price, I'll pass that generosity on.
That sounds interesting, 2 way glass...I need to know more...

Yes, it's getting late here, 00:12 a.m. no more work on the lid for tonight....photos to come soon though.
 
Well then. Good morning in a weird kind of way. I just at dinner not long ago and will be going to bed in a couple of hours. However, for you, you'll be getting up in a couple of hours. Kind of weird to think about. And about 2 way glass. You can get it in all different colors including silver I do believe which looks really cool.
 
I will have to check that out.
this visor is proving to be interesting.
Thanks again for your interest GraphiX, I am bound for the land of nod...this thread might be quiet from me until I have some nice photos to upload, a week or so I guess.
(get yourself on deviantart, loads of similar minded people on there, despite the name, I never really got the name deviantart!)
 
Maybe deviant art was originally made for artists that made creepy and sketchy and "deviant" pieces of artwork. Thoughts? Anyway, we don't mind seeing "not nice pics". We like to see anything you have to show us. Although don't go out of your way to provide us with updates. Just keep us pasted at your own individual rate.

and I sure will look into deviant art. Although I don't know exactly when that will be, but I'll give you my home page when I do.
 
Oh my god. Just checked out your deviant art. Theres some excelent stuff (and some creepy like the "puff the x-wing") You should get a wacom. It's an excelent graphics tablet that you would really enjoy. Here's a link http://www.wacom.com/index2.php (note: the link I gave you is the American link because it has a cooler head page. But feel free to go to the European one.)
 
BTW, If I don't respond to any of your messages, I'm still on line but I have to do my math homework *I mumble something about Leonardo da Vinci never having to do homework* But I should be able to respond to all your messages in a 1/2 hour to a x squared+7x+9=0. Whoops, math homework is starting to affect me lol. But some where from a 1/2 hour to an hour and a 1/2.
