Excellent. Now animate it. >:)

I hope you charged a small fortune for this.

bimshwel responds:

If I tried to charge people for the effort I put into things like this, I would never get any customers! Thankfully the animated icons usually get appreciated more widely than the static drawings, which justifies more of the time spent.

It's pretty dull. I like that the faces are sometimes weird shaped but it gives it a shitty character of work. I hate that you used so much white. It makes the faces more square. You should make less of that.

DieterTheuns responds:

Brilliant!

[BRIAN]

very simple but very effective, reads well.

amenduhh responds:

Thanks! Yea I didn't wanted to add a lot of animation.

[Creepy Pinup]

You bet your shit it did, the only complaint I have is that handle looks like the flimsiest piece of trash ever and would be completely impractical on a weapon.

VacantVirtuoso responds:

She spent too much money on her outfit, had to make do with a broom handle... thanks for your feedback Template, will work harder on future weapon designs.

Hatching is a great way to achieve some dramatic effects, but knowing how to do it right takes a lot of time and practice, luckily as somebody who hatches pretty regularly I can give you some advice about how to do it a little better.

When you hatch or crosshatch special attention needs to be made to make the hatching flow around the form, this will maximize depth and form. As well, a smoother transition should be made between hard black shadows and your hatching, it should look like a gradient, not a sharp transition. when you make a hatched figure in a hatched background special care needs to be taken to make sure the figure doesn't blend into the background, i recommend a white outline around your figure or making your figure have a light area around them to make them stand out more. When hatching or crosshatching its important each ink stroke must not touch a hatch stroke running parallel to it, this breaks the flow of the hatching and looks amateurish. Theres a reason why people don't usually hatch things, its because its tedious and doing it right takes alot of time and a perfectionists eye! If this is the sort of thing you are interested in prepare for some long hours getting your hatching just right!
