I am good at drawing. I just don't see the point in making a work of art to get an idea across. For example, I do not bother to liken biped drawings to the proportions of human anatomy.

Yeah dude, that's why concept artists decide to wing it when they create ideas, it's not like if proportions would help the actual developers know what they're making. Right?

Exactly. Have you seen Bungie's concept art before, or and developer's for that matter?

Nobody will know what you're trying to get at if you dont make good drawings with all the perspectives and dimensions.

Ok. Lets see you come up with professorial looking concept art. Post it here and we'll see how good people think, You are. Who wants to rise to the challenge?

i might. Does it have to be concept art or can it be a drawing of anything?

If it's something thats going ingame then i think it will do. But i see no point in posting random pictures. And if worst comes to worst would it be that hard to go make a few sketches of something that'll get ingame?

I'm in. It doesnt have color, Ik, but its still proportionate and the detail is good enough :D

Ok you're on. I will put more time into stuff. However, as you have noticed, I have used scrap paper and stuff. Is it because I'm too poor to afford clean paper? No! It's because I have little time and throw stuff together when I can, with what I have. If that is just a blunt pencil and scrap paper, so be it.

-EDIT-

I found some of my old drawings:

That Halo 2 picture is a million times bigger than it needs to be, It almost made my computer freeze. I literally could not scroll down without computer destroying lag.
Make sure you size down your images, it saves you upload and our bandwidth/Sanity.

I never lag with large pics, so yeah...

Sorry.

That looks like something my brother would draw.

(Hes like 11)

These were drawn 2 years ago.
Also lol Higuy don't talk on this thread. I seem to remember at the beginning that you were very disruptive, raising answered questions, then failing to grasp the answers. Maybe being 'pro' clouds your judgement.

Yet your more recent drawings seem to prove that your still producing the same quality of work !


That, or maybe you being a delusional, mindless random Halo modder trying to accomplish something over his head has something to do with it


Great, look who it is.

Higuy, you have yet to impress me. Lumoria does not count, seeing as it was a failiure.

i didnt.
I used the odst helmet (from halo 3 ODST)

For rhe Sharpshooter, i made the visor one piece, made it shorter, and longer, added an antenna, thermal scan, new vents, and range finder.

CQB-I based it off the ODST Helmet, but i changed the visor. ALOT, along with all other chyhanges.
Anyone got crit on it? No? Nobody?

First of all, why should I have to impress you, and second, how was it a failure if you can't even accomplish something with the same quality yourself?

Higuy. You should wish to impress me because otherwise your opinion is held as low as anybody who I wish to hate. And if you do not wish for your opinion to be valued, gtfo.

Also Pablo283023, I smell another troll. Begone, back to your bridge!

Okay, Wow. i didn't think that i would open a can of worms with this thing. Insults for no reason. I mean what is going on?.


If you've got some concept art that can stand it's ground against Petera's. Than i wanted to see it. If not you have no right to tell him his is bad.


I thought that would be easy to understand. Guess not

well what do u think of mine/
and guys...plz grow up, especially you Higuy. You made lumoria (my second favorite custom campaign). Don't dissapoint me by sinking to this kind of level...just let petera do his thing. If he fails, he fails. Petera, seriously you need to put more practice into your proportions, and try to practice more. Effort into your practice makes good drawings, dogging it will actuallly worsen your skills. BTW did I mention you need to work on your foreshortening and angles...?

Woof

If you want valid art crit talk to me via PM. I'm in "AP 2D Studio Art" at my school, so I think I would know a thing or too about drawing.

And I was never insulting, simply stating it looks like he would draw and hes 11!
(and seriously, you need to start listing to others more, it might actually help)

I sense a disturbance in the force. Dennis draws nearer, wielding his almighty ban hammer.

I think what Petera is saying is we need to get back on topic

Um okay enough about Lodex. I am currently working, but will post full bsp model renders soon. Expect about 5 maps ready ;D

Hi peeps I'm back. I looked at the team roster... so, I could do some voice acting, although my mic is not so great and my computer sounds like a tornado. Also I'm still willing to beta test. also peter, concept art does need a bit of effort put in to it but still, it does give me a picture in my head of what the finished art is.
P.S. hopefully I can remember to come back to this thread.

petera those drawings are bad

I believe that we should stop criticizing peter's work. We don't want another outburst ;)

howboutmine.

bad. get better.

give better crit.

bad how. i want to get better. tell me hao

good. not the best but good, looked more like concept art, they had a it more detail, honestly It looks like real concept art. Ever seen pixar (Disney 3d animators) 2d, Pixar's look like something drawn by me (me = bad drawer).
compare this (crappy, un-detailed and blurred, not to mention the horse/donkey thing looks like, well an elephant with a horse face.) http://www.disneydreaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Brave-2.jpg

to yours.
