fylth Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I was allowed to borrow a graphics tablet from college for the weekend, so I downloaded GIMP and decided to try it out. This is one of the first images I've done with it, so im still getting used to all the tools and stuf, but I think it came out quite nicely. http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f31/eviled11/SpaceMarine.png C&C welcome -Fylth *edit* woo, 100 views and no replies :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IamJacksUserName Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Is this just drawn straight with the tablet or did you put in a picture and color it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissar Molotov Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Proportionally it seems pretty nice, though the legs are incredibly thick. You should check out Illuminatus, they're generally pretty good with feedback. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fylth Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 Thanks for the replies. The image was done completely on the tablet, no sketching. Thanks for the advice, I know the legs are out of proportion, thats the problem with zooming in lol -Fylth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the thousandth whisper Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 hm.... a crackling powerfist, a thundering bolter, and incredibly fat thighs.. what shall we call him? I have one, THUNDERTHIGHS! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colrouphobic Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Very good start! You should play around with the settings in GIMP to see if you could utilize the opacity-preassure a bit more. Head over to Illuminatus like Molotov suggested and we could have a real crackling at helping you find your ways around digital artwork ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgtNACHO Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Keep practicing, with Space Marines you would be amazed out how easy it is to pick up the sizes and proportions. I just doodle them all over my school work. Legs are always the hardest to keep proportion. Of course it is also how you want the Marine to look. Big and Bulky. Or slim and more agile. Practice makes perfect. some quick notes would be :Bolt pistol is well proportionate although the rear end needs to be extended down(I have problems with guns too) :Kneecaps are too small :IMO the pistol arm and shoulder should be smaller :They have a small gorget like neck brace around their head (not as big as the Mk. 8) :the backpack disappears away behind the head :No (is reciever the name? the hole where the cartridges are ejected?) on the bolt pistol. There is actually one on either side of the bolter and bolt pistol :Head isn't wide enough, extend it more to the left so you can see the whole face, it should look better. Like I said, just keep trying. Plus you are using a computer so you can erase and such easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fylth Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 thanks for the replies guys, Ill be sure to tell Brother Thunderthighs to lay of the Tyranid brains. Mmmmm Brains :lol: Little bit of confusion, I thought Bolt gun rounds were caseless, so the gun wouldnt need a hole to egect cartrges? -Fylth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firenze Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Not bad. I sketch it out first and am practising with the airbrush. And bolt rounds have cases, like normal bullets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they do have cases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
