Mint Condition Chew Toy (DONE)

finished scoring

Original BASIC Sketch:

DETAILED Sketch (a little bigger)

INKED (a little bigger)

70% COLORED (a little bigger)

DONE COLORING!!!

I was thinking a toy (an action figure in this case) can mean so many things to so many different people, so I'm showing the same action figure in three different scenes: as a collector, a toy for a child, and a chew toy for a dog.

~~Any input at all appreciated, I will post more as I make progress.~~

Finally Finished!!!

alexmdc on Jun 23 '09 at 3:05pm

very cool idea indeed, just make sure the toy is the same exact toy :)

Resistance on Jun 23 '09 at 3:11pm

Yeah, alex nailed it... keep the top exactly the same and this is a great idea.

alexmdc on Jun 23 '09 at 3:17pm

also since its rough right now I would try maybe working on the foundation of the linework, I know it's your style but trying to keep proportion within the figures etc , right now the dogs looks cool, but would like to see the kid and older person more in proportion but still keeping your cartoon feel to it

cARtOoNer on Jun 23 '09 at 3:39pm

ill see what i can do alex haha. right now i have the collector and dog parts sketched out and when i finish the kid section ill post the completed detailed sketch before i ink

cARtOoNer on Jun 25 '09 at 3:04pm

alexmdc on Jun 26 '09 at 2:48pm

looking good

Resistance on Jun 26 '09 at 5:13pm

yes yes. very nice

Resistance on Jun 27 '09 at 8:49am

I like it so far. If you can, try to make it more obvious that the collector is a collector.

cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 11:17am

ya, and just so you know i think the colors are off.... does it look like its on a bright yellow t shirt sort of? because on the computer i colored it on, the colors are a bit off, so it should be tan.... im going to have to fix it some how but i have no idea how

Resistance on Jun 27 '09 at 11:36am

Yup, background looks yellow

cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 12:31pm

dangit.... see my labtop, which i colored it on, has a slightly different tint than my other monitor and i thought it was the "right" tint, but when i subbed this here and looked on another computer it was yellow and i was like?!?!?! thats not what i colord it like DANGIT so i need to fix it some how idk how other than just guestimate the colors. i wish i could have it how i see it on my labtop

cARtOoNer on Jun 27 '09 at 12:55pm

there i guest-imated the colors that it roughly was as i saw it on my labtop where i colored it, and this is more the colors that i see it being. it should be now more tan looking maybe with the slightest orange tint.

Arrow08 on Jun 27 '09 at 12:56pm

I'm racking my brain now for an idea..

2.07 yeessss.... (sarcasm intended)

quister on Jul 17 '09 at 9:37pm

The idea is very cool and I loved style of the illo, very distinct and lot's of personality. Maybe a bigger, bolder, composition and placement would have done better? Who the fuck knows, just way underscored IMO. Keep going, you've got talent and if you'd care to go through my first subs, I was desperately trying to break 2 but didn't, it might make you feel better :D

quister on Jul 17 '09 at 9:38pm

*the style

cARtOoNer on Jul 18 '09 at 12:33pm

thanks for the encouragement

cARtOoNer on Jul 20 '09 at 5:49pm

again thanks for the support quister, when i feel like ive been underscored it always makes me step back and think man... should i keep doing this. but comments like yours (along with my love of designing/drawing) make me wake up on days like today and get back to the drawing boards! another design to come soon!

jeffreyg on Jul 20 '09 at 5:52pm

dude, that's way underscored.. sorry man! but dont give up because your awesome

cARtOoNer on Jul 20 '09 at 5:59pm

haha thanks jeffreyg, this one didnt hurt as bad as the wrong flock did, but dont worry ill have a new sub up soon i hope, im sketching as we speak!

I'm just another college student that loves art and wearing clothes on a regular basis. To this date (regretfully) I've never taken an art class outside of elementary school, and although because of that I consider myself "self taught" I have had some help along the way (much of it in these blogs). I am pursuing a Computer Science and Math double major and when I have time will build my own website with my art on it. So keep a look out and for now just check out my flickr and my subs.

Thanks,
Aaron aka cARtOoNer
