Looks good although her eye brows look kinda different, the perspective of the boobs is odd too, also y is she so large? I'm sure you have your reasons... Other than that it looks good.

Secret Fawful · Mon 13/09/2004 03:41:04

when i scan from my notebook
the resolution of the pic is large

Krazy · Mon 13/09/2004 07:01:05

Looks pretty good, but Elaine's breasts aren't THAT large.

sedriss · Mon 13/09/2004 11:12:08

Dont listen to him! Her breasts are that large! In fact, they are bigger!

Elaine looks really angry. And cross-eyed. And...ewww...wrinkly. Her eyelids being so dark also has a negative effect. She also seems to have double eyebrows.
EDIT:
And the leg seemed wrong for some reason. Can't really pinpoint it. Perhaps that it looks so much like a drumstick?

Some modifications:

What needs most attention is the face and shoulders/neck imo.

Make sure that you don t make the eyes too large; there should be an eye s width between the eyes to fit the standard ideal. Also, make sure that the hairline isn t too low.

Secret Fawful · Mon 13/09/2004 20:28:13

well
i have made some modifications of my own and have come up with this
http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/elaine3.jpg
-changed the boob's perspective
-gave her a smile
-eliminated the second eyebrows
-made her leg just a tad smaller
-forgot to color the diamond ring
nowÃ,Â about the eyes
take a look at this pic of elaine

and then look at my pic
the eyes are the same size

let me know what you think

again, resize it before posting the direct image, thank you. eric

Why don't you resize a little.Ã,Â That's rather large don't you think?

I think she looks pretty good, if a little like Jessica Rabbit (though that certainly isn't an insult!).

The left eye (her right) is too close to the hair (or the hair is too close to the eye) they bump up to eachother.Ã,Â There needs to be some distance between the two.

Her neck looks a little on the thin side (though that doesn't really bother me)

There appears to be a third strap on the dress.Ã,Â It goes right up next to her neck.Ã,Â I would remove that part and just leave the two (lower) shoulder straps (unless that's intentionally that way!)

It looks grate, but I think that with loominous 's modifications (and resizing it) it will be near perfect.

There are numberous outline inconsistancies that bug me a bit. Also, the outlines look a little shaky. Some coloring is out of the line it is supposed to be, etc.

Nice work.

But Elaine's eyes ARE really that large in the real Monkey Island games. He was just copying.

Secret Fawful · Tue 14/09/2004 16:29:49

yep i was copying the eyes
this is supposed to be ten years after COMI
Guybrush and Elaine are in their late twentys/ early thirties

loominous's modification are really good
but there she looks too young
she looks eighteen there

viktor · Tue 14/09/2004 17:03:55

I hawe some more tips. Aim for the look that loominous went for with the eyes. The Image looks to mangaish if you combine the big eyes with your stile. Erase the left side (from your pespective) of the nose and the left side (from your perspective) of her left boob (but not too much). But you should resize the picture before you start redrawing it. Becouse when you'l resize the picture it'll get abit fuzzy...

EDIT: I also noticed that her ear is a bit to high. Try to line it up with the lower half of her eyes.

mätzyboy · Wed 15/09/2004 09:54:59

Nice image! But how come everything has black outlines, except the eyes? If you're going for outlingin, do it all the way. Now the eyes look fuzzy to me...

Andail · Wed 15/09/2004 15:22:22

Whether you copied the eyes or not, whether they are actually that big or not....the eyes in your picture simply look wrong and ugly.

Loominous has made a great version which I think you should take a closer look at and appreciate.

Also: please resize your pictures before publishing them here! A picture doesn't need thousands times thousands of pixels if it isn't a super-sharp photograph, or a 3D rendered background or something.

Babar · Thu 16/09/2004 12:55:09

I think the problem is that you are making a semi-realistic character directly from a cartoony character. And anyways,
[Original Monkey Island Purist] Elaine Does not really have big eyes!

Honestly I think loom's drawing could use some more understatements.

Since this makes no sense what so ever, I m assuming that you re still holding a grudge against me for criticising your movie.

If you feel the need to vent your anger further, then message me if you must, and spare the lounge your frustration.

Kingsized and Loominous, if you're gonna continue to deliver these subtle insults, either add a portion of sense to them, or take it outside.
