I agree on the UNSC logo... but why is it cloth?
Yea thanks guys, how about posting what I could do in fixing it? Only last 4 posts that have been at all useful was mass's and even then it was not even about the assault rifle. :\
AR is a non-starter, dude. No material definition at all, really obnoxious grunge, inset pieces where they make no sense, and faded orange/yellow paint, of all things? Since this is for CE and not some flashy next-gen game, add some decent lighting so we can at least make out what's what. Add scratches where they make sense (top of the upper heatshield/computer, around the front of the heatshield, on the wider parts of the stock and receiver). Ditch the paint, ditch the UNSC tag - I'm pretty sure the owners of the rifle don't need that as a constant reminder who they're fighting for - and lose the ugly crinkling on the cheekpiece, which is the wrong shape model-wise to be that soft a material. Make the grunge look less like fresh dogshit and more like a buildup of sand, dust and grit, and reduce the visible amount of it. I'd lose the angled divider in the receiver's inset, too. Either make it straight or don't make one at all. Weapons are designed to work and, in times of war, to be easy to manufacture. They get less complex as production concessions are made, not more.
Thanks ross, I will probably just restart from scratch though. Well I do no tend to show much of the medium I am most comfortable with, penciling and inking, for that same reason that I need much more work in the other mediums that I rarely post them.
I had an hour of free time, was extremely bored so I got two sketches done, mountain scene taking the longer of the two.
No offence, but hatching doesn't always look good if you know what I mean. :)
Like said, a suggestion would be try different styles of shading.
Like what kind? I was using mainly pen in that, and its just a normal ballpoint, so no matter what, it will bleed its guts and create a dark splotch and I can not make it fade, I do not cross hatch with pencils though, I pencil in thick shadows then use my finger and erase to make them fade and blend in well.
