Art dump

I will put things that I don't hate yet into this thread, and it will become a gigantic mess of 2d and 3d art.  I hope you like massive walls of images, because that's what this is!










And here's my work in progress stuff for my female Heavy and Medic project.  They're part of my master's thesis and I'm graduating in December, so hopefully everything goes smoothly and is done by then.  I'm currently a lot farther along with the Medic.  I'm still working on refining the Heavy's body and adjusting the base colors.









Well, that's it!  Hope you like it.

Woah, very impressive stuff there. All these are pretty great in my opinion, I'd love to see more of your art so I could improve my drawing skills... I want to get my drawing style somwhat closer to yours

EDIT: The medic model fits PERFECTLY in the style of TF2, but I would say that the heavy's face is somehow too "proportionate" for TF2 standards. The hair is pretty cool too, but I think that the hair texture being rounder would fit existing TF2 models better.

Don't get me wrong though, all of your stuff is amazing, I would never imagine of doing better than that

Wow, those models look great so far. Keep up the good work

Thanks for the suggestions.  I will do some more work to her face and her body shape in general, but I like to do it sort of iteratively, based on feedback like this.  About "rounder" hair, do you mean the shape of the bangs, or the hair itself? 

Also, I stash all my crap on dA, feel free to check out my gallery.  It's pretty huge.  http://chemicalalia.deviantart.com/

I was talking about the shape of the bangs. Gonna go check the gallery when I finish my lab reports

Oh, awesome. I've been meaning to mess around with that shape a little, a softer shape might look less contemporary and help with the style, I think.

Great stuff! I really liked the spy one. And I agree, the female medic fits in with tf2 perfectly.

The Medic looks incredible.
She probably needs to have a waist that's not quite so thin though.
As it is there might be a bit of a problem with a hitbox being wider than it would seem (only the waist, everything else is just the right amount thin to fit into the character you've made).
You have got to submit some pictures to Valve when you finish.

P.S. Will you be making a male Pyro at some point?

Well, time for me to give my 2 cents
First off, I just want to say that I absolutly love your paintings- all of them.  I don't really have anything to say other than that they're absolutely amazing

As for the models, they follow suit in being beautiful.  The only critique i can make for the medic is that i feel like her jaw is a little narrow beside the mouth- the whole head seems to taper to a point rather quickly- not really a problem, more preference, but i thought i'd throw it out there.  After all, this is just me voicing my opinion.

For the heavy, I'm having pretty mixed feelings.  On one hand, the craftsmanship is beautiful- the model looks great.  On the other, I kind of feel like the design is a little plain, and much to soft to be a substantial and equivilent counterpart to the male Heavy. In the top two close-ups, I don't much care for her face shape- I think that the jaw feels a little too round, and that a more angular jawline might make her fit a little bit more into the tf2 theme, and her respective class role.  I also feel like she needs a little bit more of a brow- she can afford to have it protrude a little more, and her nose could be a little flatter to compensate.  All in all it just feels a little too soft for my tastes.

In the bottom picture though, I like the face quite a bit more- she looks quite a bit more natural and intimidating, as she should be- may just be the angle, but I'd still go on my impressions of the close-ups, since I'm getting a full view there.  Also, her body seems a bit disproportionate- her gut doesn't look quite natural, and her hips/butt protrude at an odd angle.  I'd suggest that you try and fill out the thighs and hips a little more, as it could potentially make her look a little more "normal".

I am making a lot of criticism here, but believe me, this is all relative to your amazing level of quality and artistry that i'm seeing in your other pictures/works.  I'm not at all saying that it's bad, hell, it's thousands of times better than anything i could ever do, but i'm just trying to nitpick and just suggest whatever i can to help- a little constructive criticism is always useful, i'd say

Oh, and one other thing- what did you use to do the models?

Shouldn't you post a link to you're entire gallery and display all the other wonderful works you have back logged?
