El Art-o de los Shmeckie-o

Captain Shmeckie

The new guy draws, you say?! ABSURD!

!

Smoker, of course. I was quite elated to see him come back in a recent chapter! Anyway, leaving the realm of One Piece…

!

Geese Howard. Mah boah. SNK's own American Badass!

More to come!

KamenRiderNeko

Nice detail on Geese! keep em comin ^^

Captain Shmeckie

A few more piccies…

This is an old one, and I always thought this one was dumb. It was a comission, and it was quite a challenge taking a lame, cliche'd design that was obviously someone's tabletop RPG character, and making it look cool. I think I succeeded, though. Looking back, though, I wasn't as good then as I am now. But, that's always the way with pictures.

A picture of a character I made for a project I'm doing for someone.

I don't know the policy here regarding double-posting in one's own art topic, or topic revival, but I felt this pic deserved to be posted…

The picture's big, so here's a link.

It was done as a challenge, to do a picture with a theme I don't usually do. A few obvious flaws aside, I think it turned out well.

KamenRiderNeko

nice job on the background in that one! Really lovin the shading and the way you drew the glare from the sun ^^

I don't know the policy here regarding double-posting in one's own art topic, or topic revival, but I felt this pic deserved to be posted…

I believe it's okey as long as there is a clear time gap between the posts.

But, yesh, I like those. The one with background reminds me of… what was that series? The slice-of-life comic about an android and her cafeteria. Anyway, great job with it. That Geese picture is badass too but I like Smoker one better (probably because, well, it's Smoker. Go figure.).

The third character looks like Doflamingo and Kuro had a baby together.

Captain Shmeckie

This one's a background art commission for a friend. It's supposed to be a post-apocalyptic desert of doom and gloom and crying babies, and such…

Zulen

OH NOEZ!! NOT THE CHEF!!!

Seriously, that art is fantastic. I'm assuming you ink, traditionally, no? Your second post (third post in this thread), which had that man holding the card was amazing! I could really learn alot about hands from you (since I… well... you know...).

Captain Shmeckie

I just use pencil. I used to ink, but it was a bitch, and I hated it. Everything I do is pure pencil, now.

And yeah, I put quite a bit of effort into learning hands. Primarily since that seems to be where everyone else slips up, and because they can be used to express quite a bit.

Mister_Anbu

That's some great stuff. Did you take some art classes, or is most of this just you building up your skill overtime? Tutoriol perhaps(links? :p)?

In any case, they are excellent. Love your style on the Smoker picture.

Captain Shmeckie

All self-taught. Tutorials don't work for me, and art schools are too full of people who's asses I want to kick. =P

Generic_Soda

Wow, I'm really impressed. That one guy you said you thought was a table top character, I thought it was good. I've always thought gamblers and stuff were cool. Or people with cards/dice. No matter how you slics it though, you're very talented.

Captain Shmeckie

Here's another background piece, as part of the previous commission. Here's a lil' tidbit; the sign here is the other half of a sign in a ruined city that reads 's Diner.

!

And here's a character design for a project I'm doing. The same one as the guy with the glasses pictured above.

In case there are people who view this thread, but not the manga one, here are some character artworks for my comic (link's in my signature).

Nice art! Awesome detail, I love the ambience of the "post-apocalyptic" ones. You should put some more up. :D
