Updata (Nucleus and the aftermath)

Wed May 6, 2009, 11:27 PM
The Nucleus thing was pretty cool - packed with folks and all; was surprising to see the turnout. Ben must've done a helluva lotta campainging for this one - either that or there's a larger undercurrent of video game nostalgia in this country that has still yet to be tapped fully by the art community.

Anyhow, alot of SF4 tournament fighting, alot of cosplay, alot of yelling and good natured throwing of fists between the sexes, some art was sold, etc.

And I gathered this from watching the whole thing in all its glory on Youtube. (Ended up going to the beach that day to watch the sunset instead.)

.....

And now, a word from our sponsors:

    Street photography is NOT a photograph of an empty street, traffic lights or graffiti. If you want to find out what street photography is really about check out the The Yard Collective [link]

    Wow! I love your work, especially your character designs. It's also nice to see someone who draws Neanderthal men convincingly and not like brutal apes. Will be watchin' ya...

    Much appreciated; thank you.

    And yup, I think Neanderthalers have gotten a bad rap over the past 100 years, thanks mostly to folks like Marcellin Boule, not to mention the Chicago Museum reconstructions from the 1920's that look like walking carpets.

    Given that, is always a challenge to take the underdog of any subject and to present them in a more realistic light, but still giving leaving room for empathetic character traits or moments. I think it's a great exercise for character artists or story folks to do.

    Thanks again for stopping by; cheers.

    Ayup! I actually think that, considering your skills, you are underappreciated here. Facial features besides ginormous eyes, triangular noses and slit mouths aren't very hip anymore.

    (Don't want to say that all anime styles are bad, I think Capcom are gods in character design, but one of the reasons I stopped drawing anime is because it flattens facial features. Imagine drawing an anime Neanderthal...)

    Thanks much for the compliment. I probably don't do much to promote myself here or elsewhere as much as I should, so it's my fault for whatever lack of numbers I have.

    Save for the Street Fighter pieces, I don't do a whole lot of fan art, so that may be another reason why. Who knows.

    Ah, and anime faces. Yup, I had my stint with those. Had... hmm, I'm still in the middle of doing it apparently: [link]
    Plenty of dot eyes and over exaggerated mouths for all to enjoy.

    Plus, plenty of Neanderthals bordering on Future Boy Conan: [link]

    The face is a pretty hard subject to tackle in art, so yup, I appreciate the more 3-D approach as well. Not that I've gotten it yet, but I'm trying.

    Dunno, I still like your "animeish" style because your anime faces still look "realistic" in a way...they look more like stylized real faces than those shojo monsters whose only distinguishing traits are their clothes and hairdo. Osamu Tezuka used a lot of variety in designing his villains (not his heroes though) and I'm just saddened the mangakas after him mostly went with his "hero" approach to faces, especially shojo mangakas. I think it's a bit creepy everyone in shojos and most shonen has the same face template actually (One Piece being a big exception).

    That said, your Conan Neanderthal is...cute.
