Hey guys, I'm taking part in a online contest and need all the help I can get to win. I made a 5 minute long video showing how I painted approximately 100 different characters using photoshop, painter and my wacom tablet. You can check it out here:

http://www.sclipo.com/video/drawing-100-girls-monsters-etc-wacom-intuos-3

To help me win the contest, just click under "Rate this video". I've been drawing since I was a kid, and the last few years I've been pursuing it as a career.. I still have a lot to learn though, but thats fine. Anyways, check out the video and lemme hear what you think of it.

If anyone wonders, I've been a longtime lurker on the forums and used to have a gamespot premium membership back when they were giving out betakeys for world of warcraft.. ah the memories :P During that period I saw a steady decrease in my drawing skills, damn you molten core and 8 hour raids!

Oh and if you wanna see how I painted my profile image, here is where you need to be:

See how I painted Jack Sparrow, remember to vote for the video!

I'd be grateful for votes and comments on that one too!

I did the painting using a photo as reference, I often do that when I paint to get my images as realistic as possible. The video shows the whole process.

Thats pretty neat, despite the fact that you violated the TOS about thirty times in less than five minutes...I agree with that one guy you drew...you drew about 95 girls...and 5 guys...

Heh yeah, I've always found girls to be a more interesting subject. Wonder why :) As for the TOS it read something about a user being permitted to post links to interesting sites once, as long as they didn't contain scams or pyramid schemes. I wouldn't hardly call showing an artvideo a scam :P

Just one question, on the first girl you drew, I saw you opted to draw the nipples only to cover them up :lol: why exactly did you do that? haha

Because I've got a perverted mind! Actually I often start by drawing my characters naked and then afterwards I draw the clothing. That way I'm sure the underlying proportions are correct. I guess that doesn't explain the nipples though :P

Yeah I might have overdone it a bit. I didn't spend that much time coloring this thing, maybe I should have given it an hour or two more :)

WOW that was awesome! How long did it take you to do in real time?!Jenova_Flare

I think I spent 7 or 8 hours painting this thing.

I would normally complain about plugs like these, but that was actually really interesting. I went ahead and gave it a 10 for you.

Coming from a fellow artist - very nice. I have some stuff at jealentus.deviantart.com

While from an artistic point of view it may have been poor in tmers of composition and color and whatnot, your variety, speed, and sense of who people are are quite mindblowing. I would like to see some of your other stuff if at all possible.

Heh yeah, it's often like that when you look at paintings at low resolutions. Wish they looked as realistic at high res :P

Your avatar looks good though! You should download the demos of painter x and photoshop to try something better than ms paint.

Haha I've gotten that question before, I often draw my characters naked first and give'em cloth afterwards. That way I'm sure that the underlying proportions are correct. What an excuse huh? :P
