(YoshiStar) Metroid: Other M

[YoshiStar]

A sneak peak at what I'm working on. Don't worry, it'll start looking a lot better soon. Background is just placeholder. Used an action figure of Samus as reference.

[Pleiades]

You have my attention now. An interesting project, no doubt, and I'll be keeping my eye on it. I'm assuming the hand is still currently a work in progress, correct?

On an mildly related note, I would love to have that model.

[YoshiStar]

Nah, I'm thinking of keeping the hand like that. It makes it kinda abstract and cool looking ... no jk, lol. I'll be adding a gun to it like in the action figure.

So far does anybody have any critiques about the artistic direction or the technical aspects? I still feel like something is off ... Should I get rid of the black comic-like lines?

[Throavium]

What exactly is going on in the background, or what do have planned? Will there be more characters?

[YoshiStar]

Well, background is just placeholder. I'm working on finishing the image first. I probably won't be including any other characters. I want to go for something different yet still significant so .. I was thinking something along the lines of this as a background:



That sunset type thing. I'm not sure yet, though.

[Throavium]

That sounds interesting.

[YoshiStar]

Haha yes. This thing may be scrapped depending on how it goes from here. I wanna make something exceptional, and if it's not, I'm gonna scrap it. Any comments or suggestions on the art so far? Like what I could do better?

[YoshiStar]

More messing around. That's kind of what I'm thinking of for the background. With more, of course. And I plan to blend her in better .. and all sorts of stuff. I really don't have much idea of where I'm going to go with this. Just experimenting.



Haha, any ideas come to mind?

[Throavium]

Looking at this, there is something about the art style that's not meshing. Even though I'm sure you could make it mesh.

[YoshiStar]

I think it's her suit. Too cartoony compared to her head. Guess ill have to redo those hours of work gonna go for a more gradienty style.

[Throavium]

It might actually just be the suit and not the character. Don't do too much work if you don't have to.

[woopwoop11]

I think the art style looks fine. I don't see much of a difference in it between the suit and head. I do see a difference between the character and background though. The background is paint-like and samus is cartoonish, I don't know if that helps you or not.

[stevencho]

Loving it so far. Something is awkward to me about her nose though.

[Luigi53]

I'm liking the direction you're taking this. Glad to see you back. <3

[YoshiStar]

There we go. I personally think that this brushy art style suits far more than that comicy one. I don't want to sound full of myself, but I'm liking where this is headed.

[Throavium]

Looks better.

[YoshiStar]

It may look better ... but does it look good? Bad? Incredible? Alright? Any suggestions? I want it to eventually look excellent.

[twoxT]

Her neck looks a like it was put a little to the left too much but that's just me.

[Daemon]

Her left hand seems awkward. It's not exactly on her waist so it's just kind of floating there.

[Spiderpig24]

Agreed with Daemon, and I think something is still up with her face or head.
