Thats very good Ray, but theres one thing I must know before I vote....

What exactly is holding the two halves of the eyewear together?

[Jubba]

they are like Morpheus' glasses from Matrix... but different...

I like it Ray!

[lostinbeta]

Well see, morpheus' glasses just didn't have the ear things, they were supported by the nose.

But these glasses have no support, technically they should be falling forward and onto the ground :P

[Raydred]

yea they're morpheous type clasees, with an ... ear piece..? the wire accross the nose looked bad, so i left it out.. if you wait like 3 mins, i'll have a more colorfull detailed pic =)

[Raydred]

ok thats the current one =) (still the same link)

[thoriphes]

ack, beat me to the matrix references...looks good ray :thumb::thumb:

[Raydred]

i drew it in flash, i like flash to draw, its easier for me than illustrator etc..

[lostinbeta]

Ok, I decided to overlook the faulty eyewear and vote "YES!! ABSOULUTLY LOVE IT!.. WOW! you're Awesome!"

Simply for the fact that you ARE awesome and that drawing is too.

[reverendflash]

I hate you Ray!

darn young whips, drawing all the time...

You realize, I have to hunt you down now, just because you can do this...

maybe I'll have my g/f work up a doll for me...

;)

great drawing Ray. I too like to draw in Flash. I learned to draw in Flash before I was taught Illustrator, and never really even got into Photoshop because of FW... but I digress...

I just want to know how did you get my high school grad photo to draw from?

:beam:

[Raydred]

well i cant draw very well on paper (or anything for that matter..) but this is how i drew it....

I made a very rough sketch with my Wacom pad.. (it helps..)

and i mean rough like... OMG thats ugly lol

then i took time and traced over it, in flash to be smooth, and etc, and shape it to my liking (I love the pencil tool).. then i colored it a but.. and it seemed to look ok =) hehe

if you tell me to draw on paper and a quick drawing, i cant do it.
(i cant show you the rough sketch i just made either, i accidentally deleted it =) )


Ps. hope its not a voo doo doll Rev ;) hehe jk

The alpha over lay (to kinda show diff)
http://www.raydred.com/art/dredalphaoverlay.gif

=) it still needs some work though =)

[lostinbeta]

Wow, even better with the full body. Great work man.

[mdipi]

wow! i like it! what did you use (tool) to sketch it?

[Raydred]

i used the Pencil tool in flash to trace it. (because it makes it a Line, which is easier to manipulate.)

then i took the line tool, and traced out sections, and curved them to desired..

[Raydred]

*bump*

[Kitiara]

Cool. :) I'll use the hair on that for your anime guy. :beam:
