<div class="IPBDescription">Felt like posting some artwork</div> <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=7&t=41873' target='_blank'>this thread</a> for one reason or another made me feel like drawing some sort of similar ns-related...thingy. Did this in one of my drawing notebooks in school. Scanner messed with the quality, as did resizing the image and saving to jpg. Somehow I think the scanner gave the flashlight beam an almost glowing effect though.
I've always drawn things in a more cartoon-like style even though it bothers me, I've come to accept it. Probably comes from the fact that even before I realised it I would draw things in concept-art fashion. I generally draw just characters, and maybe a little extra surroundings, which is why in this pic and in future ones (until I decide to improve my skills), the environments will look rushed (mostly because they are)somewhat out of perspective, cheesy, or just plain suck <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> I usually just try to put in enough effort that the characters aren't floating in white-with-blue-lines outer-space, and that it looks somewhat like a normal setting for the guy. On most stuff they're off in their own previously mentioned blank void with no environment though <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->
<!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> Have to use my imagestation account with further decreases the size of the pic, because for some reason paint doesn't like me and I can't save as jpg. Had to use GIMP which saves them nice but seem to have extra stuff done to them that the upload thingy doesn't like. So...after my long-winded introduction to this part of the ns forums, here's the pic you're probably impatiently waiting for by the end of this post:

Only problems I have with it,
The flashlight, It just doesnt belong.
The armor, Just doesnt look proper.
/edit
One thing the scanning, resizing, etc doesn't show well imo is that I tried to make the area look quite dark, while it looks ok, the scanner sharply contrasted some of the more defined smudgemarks where I pressed hard to smear the graphite on the paper...so...those smeary things aren't there as much. In the actual drawing it looks like he's in a dark place and the flashlight is lighting the area in front of him a bit.
I like it, that waterfall pic (the original) is still bothing me, its so freaky.
