Vertigon: I actually did draw it in iscribble. Good eye.
But yea, it can easily emulated by using a very hard brush on 100% opacity in photoshop/gimp.

mendonca: sweet pic. I really like the explosion itself, for some reason it reminds me of the detonation of a graphite fiber bomb.

I appear to have developed a very annoying trait.
Ever since seeing some of the awesome stuff you guys put out, I have trouble looking at things that use soft brushes or look blurry.

Another logo, woo.

Copypastad from what I put into artist's comments for devart:

The logo of Ares Ballistics limited, one of the largest arms manufacturing corporations in the solar system, based primarily on the west slope of the Olympus Mons, Mars, but with many offices and resource extraction operations in the asteroid belt and the outer system.

The Helmet is the symbol of Ares, the Greek equivilant of Mars, the Omega represents the finallity of the death the company produces, and the arrow combines the Omega with the logo of Mars itself.

Part of the Helios setting. (Temporary name)

Critique:

1. huge
2. arrow is assymetrical
3. Font does not fit
4. stylised helmet is very nice

Gaaaah.  I'm trying to learn to use the gimp instead of Flash but my efforts are not working terribly well.

How so? That looks pretty damn great to me. Do you have some specific problem?

[strongrudder]

Yeah, what is it you don't like about that? I'm digging the way you use blacks.

[Lofn]

Well, I didn't like the rigid lines, mostly, as well as the general composition.  The robot is really awkward.  I'm also really not used to actual digital painting rather than messing with vectors.

I think I'm calling this done, even though it's only really half-finished.  Moving on to something else.

Looks pretty good to me. I think the face could use some more work (maybe that's just me though), but as you said you've finished this so I guess it doesn't matter.

Agreed. Nose looks quite strange.

[Outcast Orange]

I think the issue starts with the mouth. It needs to be higher up on the jaw.
Lemme scribble up something:



Obviously of low quality, but hopefully useful.

You're pretty much right.  The eyes and nose are also misaligned and the wrong size.

I moved on, anyway, to try something closer to proper digital painting.  It seems to be coming along okay so far, but I'm not sure if my blending is any good.

[Outcast Orange]

Ooh, looks fun and interesting.

You should write a (very) brief back-story for that one.

It reminds me of Spore, I don't know why, but whenever I look at that picture my mind just shoves the word 'Spore' to the front.

Big eyes with appearance of human-like structure (black center, dark-ish ring around that, whites around that). The relatively light hues also would make it seem spore-like. But its mostly the eyes.
