This is just a ink sketch that I did tonight.

I didn't try to shoot for huge detail but more for a sketchy feel to it.

Hope you enjoy. I haven't drawn in almost a year.

Here's the same image, well a diff picture, just to show proof I drew it, I put my Vapor tag on it.

My friend thought it was concept art! LOL!

Thanks.

I want to get back into drawing. I want to do some more sketches when I get some free time. I'm really into ink crosshatching.

Speaking of drawing!!! I draw quite a bit, always have really.. By the way, there not bad, but if ever in need of pointers let me know.. I drew a 7' tall Marcus on my wall in my games room, as well as Blood Rayne, Master Chief, Kameo, the evil elf girl from N3, Laura Croft, Jennifer (from Primal), etc... All of which are life size, turned out pretty good!!! I going to have all of my walls completely covered by the time Im done!!! If I could figure out how to post the pics on here I would, if some one could explain how then Ill do so.. I will also put my handle next to the pictures (taped to the wall because Im not signing Brooklyn right on them!!) or what ever you want for proof.. Also constrictive critisism is welcome but keep in mind its hours and hours and HOURS of work so be nice!!!

They did turn out pretty good I think, and I would love to show them off, especially to a gaming community like yourselves who would actually apreciate them for what they are.. If any one at all is interested in seeing them just say so and Ill add them to this thread!! Maybe you guys could give me some insperation for what I should draw next because truth be told Im running outta ideas!!

Again if any one wants to see what I drew just say yes and tell me how to post them on here!! Keep in mind it will be about 5 or 6 pictures because there so darn big!!

VaporXX91 again nice work considering its pen and ink it turned out not bad, but if it is constructive critisism that your after, you needed more detail in the back ground still kept in sketch format, and more detail on Marcus himself, because even in a sketch you still want him to stand out in the picture as the main focal point.. Also noticed you used cross hatching for shading, turned out pretty good..

Cheers, later all...

So there you go, it gives an idea of what I want to do.. My walls one day will be completely covered (in the games room), but like I said Im running outta ideas for what or who to draw next, thing is, its like a tattoo, because I only painted my walls with primer, so when I take my HB pencil to it, it pretty much stains into the wall.. Other problem Im having is the graphite in the pencil is highly reflective, which makes it hard to see when all of the lights are on down there, and taking pictures of it without the whole drawing dissappearing is like pulling teeth..

Any way later all..

Dude, nice drawings!!! You should just take all your favorite video game characters and create some sort of theme to the walls.

Maybe you could put th locusts on another wall or something. Perhaps you could just put some really cool background to fill in the white space.


Be creative, it looks great.

very nice!

[Brooklynunder]

Cheers, thanks guys and yeah I will be filling in the space with shaded fog and maybe a moon or something just to fill it in to make it a full complete scene.. And yeah you definatly have something there, about the locusts, I could put all of the charactors arch enimies on the opposing wall, thanks again!!
