..Phantom Lizard or sth..

i k a r i · Wed 21/12/2005 19:29:08

My brother is teaching me how to draw with vectors in Corel 12...and I did this kind of phantom lizard (I really don't know what it is)...
I wanna know what you guys think about it...(I am not an artist or anything sadly)..

Any paintover is MORE than welcome..(it doesn't matter if you turn him into a non ghost entity)

Looks like something straight out of a druggie's mind when they're flying in the mountaintops.Ã,Â (And it looks really cool close up, like a voo-doo something) It would make a great icon for a band or studio. I can picture it now, Pultergeist(sp) Lizards Studios

Thank you Akumayo..
I'm really glad you think it's cool..

It would be great to see someone who knows how to paint with the PC trurning him into a real lizard..
but I like the idea of the mystery "creepy" ghost powerful lizard.. :o (??)

This is good and you say that you are not an artist.What would you create if you are an artist?

It is realy cool especially cause he is transparent.
And we like goodness on his face.

Keep up great work

Thank you very much LJUBI...I've made other versions and a better background, but I think is pointless to post them...I wanted to read some opinions because this lizard could be the logo of a great band..

(just as akumayo said)

What is Corel 12 anyway? I'd like to get a copy of it, if it's freeware of course..

Not freeware, its supposed to be competition for Adobe Illustrater and Photoshop, I think.

Correct...

This is very neat. The only thing I would suggest is to remove the areas where the limbs visibly intersect with the body.

Rel · Thu 22/12/2005 13:06:21

What do you mean 'not an artist'? :P It looks awesome â€" a very funky style and well drawn. ProgZmax's suggestion about the intersections is the only thing I can think of that might improve it, but even that's dependent on the effect you want (they make the lizard look more 3D, but less natural).

He looks a bit like Foamy the Squirrell...

I think it would be cool if you had him hunched over, following the spiral line of the background. Then, if you took out the overlap lines like Progzy was talking about and made it so that one arm didn't go behind his tail (maybe even make him facing the side and having all his limbs poking out one side) you would have a very tribal-looking lizard totem on your hands, and that would be cool.

Its perfect as it is.

Wish I could draw like this.
It could be a great wallpaper by the way.

ManicMatt · Thu 22/12/2005 17:35:10

NEAT!!

I like the ready break glow they have.

i k a r i · Thu 22/12/2005 20:14:05

Thank you everyone, I will make a new lizard without the interceptions to see how it looks...
I really appreciate the critics

..

I'll start as soon as I get home...thanks again! (I will also star my first GA =D)

i k a r i · Thu 22/12/2005 23:33:31

I've been making some changes, what do you think now?

Is it better...or worst?..

I'm thinking of making him the main character of my AG...

Shane 'ProgZmax' Stevens · Fri 23/12/2005 05:11:19

This looks cool, I say go with it.

IM NOT TEH SPAM · Fri 23/12/2005 05:17:56

The style reminds me of a child's book i used to have... "The stinky cheese man and other fairly stupid tales"... good times...

sportyjay · Fri 23/12/2005 08:12:57

OMG I have that same book and i think i know where it is. I didn't think anyone else would actually have that book and still remember it.

Ohh, the picture. IMO the first one is better, I like the colours better, the lizard thing is more defined and it looks more ghosty. But thats just me.
