The big fella is holding the boat by the tow cord. Not so obvious at the moment. Just thought I'd submit this sketch to see direction you think I should take it and to get some early feedback.
dude, i love how you post these and show us the progress of them all, now if you could type up a blog on how you actually go from point A to point B and to point C deez nutz, thatd be fuckin fantastic!
Well - its inked and vectored. I adjusted the hands to look more realistic and the water/splashing effect will be added with the colour. The brow of the creature looks quite dark at the moment, but everything will balance out when I apply the shade. As usual, any thoughts or comments are appreciated. Must fly for now, but will maybe have an update tomorrow.
A very rough paint layer just to help choose the colour direction. The more 'realstic' version 3 or the more subtle version 4... version 4 uses only 4 colours so far so I can add another colour. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
Got more done than I thought I would and I'm now almost there - still a bit of detail to go. Let me know what you think, so I can make adjustments if necessary. Thanks.
Ok, I think it's done, and I wanted to show it before submission incase there's a consensus on anything that needs improvement. I've spent a bit more time fine-tuning it, and added a name to the boat. I hope nobody asks me to lose the text. :) Your feedback is valued!
very nice, but if i was driving that speed boat, i wouldn't go that close to a giant ape just chillin in the water like that. and don't tell me he just popped out and grabbed that banana aff of a sudden. it appears too shallow for that possibilty. captian "venture" just thought it'd be funny, huh?
if thats going to be your preview i suggest you ditch the large version on the bottom left, it's kinda distracting and you'll get some idiots going "you only need one speedboat!" =P
