ARTISTIC AMATEUR SEEKING REQUESTS

Having recently received a tablet (one that works for me), I've taken the key opportunity it has granted me and started creating art digitally. I used to have trouble with the more standard art tablets as I couldn't see exactly where I was until after I drew the line, and I always had to move my hand along blindly on the tablet while staring up at the monitor, which resulted in further complications and frustration.

But that's over now; I can see where I'm going before I go there and I feel the time has come that I throw myself out there for anyone who might could use my modest artistic ability. Please note that these were whipped together strictly to test out my compatibility with the tablet, and any requested work will have greater care taken to clean up the lines and apply shadows. Color would be experimental as I have no long history with adding such flavor to my work, but I'm not going to rule it out if someone wants to include color in their game/comic/illustration/whatever.



As I cannot accept payment for my work, I would prefer if the requests were simple enough to warrant being free.

Well (and I feel like a dick for even asking this) two of the things that have really been holding me back from restarting work on my game were lack of a decent title screen and no suitable facesets for major characters.

Could you be a little more specific about what it is you're looking for? What do you need the title screen to include (name, setting, feel), and what sort of characters/program are you using to give me a good idea of dimensions and details.

Alright, I've got a concept and reference picture drawn up for what I figure the title screen and Wooter will look like. Before I start working on the final product, let me know if this is alright with you or if you're looking for something else.

Well, after a full day's work, this is all I have to show for it. I don't know if you'd still be interested in it, but I know I'm having my second thoughts. I tried to include Wooter, but he ended up being much too tall. I'm quite fond of the chest, though.



If you like what you see and could recommend that I redraw Wooter, I'll keep working.

Are you familiar with using vanishing points and horizons? The vanishing points here seem a little off. How much sketching/planning do you do? I ask because I can teach. :)

I had them considered (as you can tell by my attempt at getting the base of the chest correct), but I hadn't actually planned it out and instead just did what I could to estimate where the lines should be. However, I do realize that the base of the chest turns upward too sharply and would in fact be lopsided.

If you'd be willing to toss me a few pointers, that would be greatly appreciated as I'm always looking to improve my abilities with something that speaks to me.

The pulley works much better now; it's up high enough that removing the fastening on the chest will cause the lid to be pulled upwards. The only thing is that it likely won't do so fast enough for the saw to do any actual damage. :P The saw also looks a bit odd; generally saws have quite a large radius for the centre and shorter, curved edges so they cut better when they spin.

I would suggest something else on the end of the rope to be honest, perhaps a weight? Physics-based traps tend to work better with crushing force rather than bladed instruments, which tend to work better with pressure points and hidden switches.

I'm aware that I'm debating physics for a whimsical title screen. I feel dirty.

Yeah, I figured it might not be that useful, but I decided to swap out the saw for more of a disk of spikes to puncture the intruder. Though, even with that being the case, I had my doubts over the effectiveness of any object hanging from the ceiling without anything to cut the rope.
