City of Amnesia

[EDIT] Here it is, the finished product! (http://www.paradigm-city.net/index.php?topic=274.msg7142#msg7142)

Interesting.

Facial expression is a tad creepy, but I guess it's supposed to be.

Heh, oops. This ought to go in Room 24.

This is vector right?

Man, the pose and proportions are just off enough in realism to make it a really convincing picture of a humanoid machine. It's really good. The face is kind of creepy, but I always kind of like the expressionless statue sort of thing.

Good good job!

Hmm. I used the pen tool for some of the curves and straight lines, to make sure they were perfect. All the shading and most of the lines were done by the stylus in mah hand, though.

Pose is off, you say... I'm glad you said that. Somebody else said that the legs were a bit weird. I've made them thinner and fixed the knees since I posted this.

Proportions off, also... you mean the arms? I, too, like the arms a bit long and lanky. Having things be a little off can be interesting if done right.


Thank you much.

this is sooo IB Art, you don't even wanna know.
i envy those with superb control over their apendages...>_>
the highlighting is worthy of being stolen copied admired by me.

Ooh hoo hoo, you are impressed by that? You gots to up your standards, girl, because now it looks like this:

And this is the current state of the entire scene:

NO you n00bcake! I was impressed by the SHADING. gosh, read!
I take back what i said about controlling appendages, my elementary school-aged brother controls a drawing pad better!
*hmph* you obviously wanted to be insulted.
What did you do use, a drawing pad or a mouse?
You also obviously don't know what IB art is, either.





Sorry, I'm being mean...  :'(

Wow. You should do something about these outbursts of yours. This isn't the first time.

Well, I was planning on just linking to a Deviant Art page once I finished, but now I must defend my honor by showing its current status.

No, I don't really know what IB art is, and I doubt it matters. I looked it up and it seems to be some high school thing, where you get hard assignments like college students have.

I use both a mouse and a pen. The mouse is good for laying out points and lines but not for curves.

You didn't look carefully enough, because the shading on the second android is better than that of the first android. That's why I posted it.

there wasn't a second android when i was impressed by the shading the first time.
IB art is harder than college art, but its more about thinking out of the box and incorporating the world into art.


i apologized for being mean... :'(

Regardless of your apology, Bllue - which to be entirely truthful, wasn't much of one at all - that was uncalled for and exceptionally rude. Please put a little more effort into not doing it again.

You are right. I do apologize. for being rude and forcing a moderator to talk to me... :-[ Sorry, really.


Any way, what program do you use? *gasp* I just now understood the title of the piece! *smacks head* And I was wondering why shopping bags were floating.  ::)

Photoshop CS3. That's it.

I'm intrigued by the difference in style between the humans and the android.  The android is all sharply defined lines and clear, almost metallic colors while the humans are painted in a softer, more expressionistic style.  I also like the expression on the android's face.  There are definite stirrings of femininity and curiosity in her face.

Heh. Chalk that up to seeing lots of anime where they do the same thing. I think it's a wise stylistic choice.

Anyway, it is finally done. Here is the picture itself, followed by a link to my new DevArt. I trust I'm not the only one here who has one.

Android Shopping Spree on DA. (http://cantstoptherobot.deviantart.com/art/Android-Shopping-Spree-97880452)

The circular symbol on "her" chest feels like it should be skewed/slanted... to denote the curve of the sternum area.

With all the detail in the picture, that just screamed "copy and paste" to me :-\ If that's the only thing that requires altering (maybe add some shading to that symbol?) then I say that's a masterpiece. 8)

I thought I had posted in here about this being awesome when I moved it.

Apparently I hadn't, so I'm rectifying that.

Because this is incredulously well done.

Hahaa! Thanks guys. Praise makes all the time and effort worthwhile. And Burt, that is duly noted. Won't address it immediately, though. I need to take a break from this picture.

By title, I wasn't sure if this was a thread to look at, no offense, but when I wanted to claim the 666th post of Room No.24, I thought, "Why not?"

Glad I did. Beautiful work.

Oh! Post 666 in Room No.24 is MINE! BWAHAHAHAHA!
