I just thought that I should start something new here, and really break some ground in the Showcase thread.
You may be wondering, 'Just what is the Junk Art thread all about?'
Well, basically, if you've got a piece of artwork that screams 'work-in-progress' or just seems to lack those finishing touches that you just can't quite put your finger on, you can post it here, and see what other people have to say, before it's actually done.
Of course, if it's some scrap artwork that you have no intention of finishing, but feel deserves some criticism and its own 'five minutes of fame', then feel free to post it here.
To sum it up, this is what you can post here in the Junk Art Thread:
- Character Sketches
- Models/Poses for characters yet to be done
- Concept Sketches/Art
- Scrap Artwork
- Artwork you feel is not done yet
- Copy book doodles that has potential
Fair warning, however to potential spammers...despite the fact that this is the 'Junk Art thread' and seemingly gives the green light to any and ALL types of unfinished drawings or doodles, be warned that mindless etches and blatant posting of images that show no effort or intention other than to be spam, will NOT BE TOLERATED. As always, THINK before you submit.
Yes, well, now that THAT'S out of the way, maybe I should start things off with a doodle that I did in class, that I propose to be a comic soon:
(http://img63.exs.cx/img63/7086/KimiNeocomic.jpg)
It merely started out as just another drawing of me, but the more boredom kicked in, the more I added to the sheer mayhem.
Please tell me what you think of it, and be harsh if you have to.
Well, here's to hoping I see some concept work from you guys.
Later!
P.S.: BTW, just to give credit where credit is due, this is a tradition on the VG Cats forums. If you want to see how a junk art thread is conducted, check out this URL:

well heres one of the pics that shin sagat told me to try to work on....I cleaned it up a bit(still kinda scrappy)...fixed the colouring and the line art but i cant really put my finger on the background though.....any suggestions???
-
i say tell shinsagat he cyah draw and tuh hell he stink ...wait nah forget it
I say do a lightning feel
-
^^^^
Me thinks ShinSagat's account be hi-jacked.
With regards to the pic, Frozen, you can read the suggestions we gave ShinSagat here:
http://www.gatt.co.tt/index.php?name=PNphp...iewtopic&t=3967 (http://www.gatt.co.tt/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=3967)
Disregard the parts about the colour scheme being horrid, you seem to have fixed that a bit (although it somewhat leaves a lot to be desired....the hair and boots in particular).
Also, long story short:
-Arms too short;
-Legs badly positioned and too thick
-Muscle structure needed.
I think you should have really given that picture an overhaul before colouring it, because despite giving it a fresh coat of paint, it is STILL plagued by the problems that we stated in the thread above. Keep trying....
-
^^^
in full agreement
people please learn muscle sturctue if u have none like me and cant look in a mirror for them here a really good trick... toys
come on evybody got an onld ninja turtle or batman somewhere right or u may be luccy evough to come across a spawn
u may not realise but action figures are a great place for muscle and because the are move able they may be even better than comics or manga
please dont make fun of me cause i still have my ninfa turtles :(
its not a kiddy thing it help in my artwork i swear
*someone points and laughs*

Exploding forest aminals are fun. Yes, I said aminals.
ummm dude i said i wud work with the picture not draw over the entire thing
Relax, dude. We're not asking you to re-invent the wheel.
It's just that no matter what you do with the picture, those things will still stick out like a sore thumb, and may require you to do some things over.

Frozen I find the phtoshop ork to be real good but the drawing that i did really was not top notch so i doh blame it for bringin down the points i like d effects and as we was sayin u should try to add some metamorphisis effects
-
(http://img9.exs.cx/img9/4499/HalfwaydoneChibiKimi.jpg)

Enjoy the spontaneous cuteness in the meantime.

I have a question unrelated to the topic but when u save the files in photoshop as the jpeg..which one do u choose..baseline"standard" or baseline opttimzed or progressive?
-
if it's junkart the comments shouldn't be nearly so harsh
-
Well to keep this thread alive a bit i decided to post a pic
I am now into cartooning(my style...that means that it has no major detail in it besides highlights midtones and shadows)
It didnt take long..about 30 mins for sketch and photoshop work..pretty simple but im now learning cartooning
-
Well, the colour scheme is pretty decent.
Unfortunately, I honestly can't say the same for the character.
For one, his arm surrounding his fist is too wide, it makes it look like he's a skinny guy with 'Anchor Arms' (ever saw that episode of Spongebob Squarepants?) If that's his glove, it's still too big.
Secondly, his face just gives me the creeps.
One eye is bigger than the other, his smile is extremely crooked, and his whole face is tilted in such a way that he looks like he's cricking his neck and going psycho than giving a thumbs up to the person looking at the picture.
Also.....if that's a cap on his head, it needs work. NO cap would ever come off a person's head like that. It would fit almost snugly on a person's head, unless the cap is too large, in which case it should come down lower on his head. And, to tell you the truth, I don't know whether to give this guy the thumbs up back or order Chinese from him. The cap appears too 'Mongolian headwear' to me.
Also, the clothes need more detail. And by detail, I mean folds.
Even if this guy has been on the Atkins diet, his frame would STILL show some folds in it. Also, all of the clothes he's wearing (including his shoes) look like they were made from the same material. Add shine for shoes and gloves, as well as a lining for jeans, and it would appear different to everything else.
And, once again, if this is a stickman drawing, then NO.
Stickmen are -LITERALLY- that, men composed of sticks, nothing more.
This drawing is -TOO- detailed to be a stickman.
And, as such, you should give him some mass to make him more anatomically more correct, or take OUT some of the things that is alienating him from being a stickman.
Sorry, Frozen, but that needs SERIOUS work.
Consider everything I've said, and your style would improve.
-
do u know that this IS CARTOONS!!!!! Did u also know that when his hand is giving a thumbs up in front of his face it seems to be bigger!!!Didnt u read that this was CARTOON i was doing!!!u ever saw cartoon on tv? Dexters lab...he has no muscles a huge head, a small body no folds in he clothes and etc....sheesh and i also said it was my style of CARTOON.
-
Frozen, calm down.
You posted here because you wanted people to tell you what they thought, right?
And I'm here, to give you my view on it.
And I'll let you know right now, that your character needs work. And I thought you would -know- better than to use the old 'it's a cartoon' excuse to shrug crictisms like that off. Even Dexter shows some polish (and I'm not talking about the extremely awful second season here), while yours leaves a LOT of room for improvement.
Also, read my most recent post in ShinSagat's thread.
You should never expect ALL reviews on your artwork to be good.
Some of them -will- be brutal, and it's up to you as an artist to find out 'Why did he/she say that?'. You know, unless they just bluntly said 'You suck' without anything else to add, in which case you should ignore them. It is truly unfortunate that you have yet to learn this, because I was subjected to it a LOT before I became what I am today, and even to this DAY I still have a lot to learn. So just try to see where I'm coming from here.
Also, pay a visit to this forum:
http://www.vgcats.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4 (http://www.vgcats.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=4)
...if you thought I was being mean, take a look at a few threads here, in particular, the Junk art thread, and see what people contribute and what type of feedback they get. I assure you, they are VERY brutal over there. As a matter of fact, their reviews on my work is what inspired me to improve on some of my character designs (one of them said that one of my male characters looked like a girl, so I considered what he said) Also, pay PARTICULAR attention to the quality of artwork that comes up from several people on the Board.

u make it seem like i drawing anime.
I am drawing cartoons...if u apparently u have no broad horizon in this area. Did u also know that cartoon drawing is very flexible...u can draw it anyhow u want. That is my style of drawing..not everyone draws alike. I did not say he was a stickman...i said he was a cartoon.
Shin sagat was not drawing cartoons..he was drawing stick men. Cartoons dont require much skill to draw but u make it seem like if its extremely hard to do.
Criticing how the man shud look and wat not...u want to change the whole concept of my style.

True....but like I said before, you have to consider what other people think, too. Some people may dig what you're offering to the table, while others may not get it. I'll be honest with you, I don't get your drawing, that's why I offered up my opinion.
That is my style of drawing..not everyone draws alike. I did not say he was a stickman...i said he was a cartoon.
True, but you have to admit that it looks like something ShinSagat would draw. And by that, I mean it does look like a stickman. I apologize if I've assumed wrong here.
Cartoons dont require much skill to draw but u make it seem like if its extremely hard to do.
That depends on how much effort you put into it.
For me, it would take a good THREE hours to come up with a character alone. For me, that is way too much time, so I'm trying to develop a style that won't take so much time and yet would yield the same results.
But just to let you know, cartoons, paintings, EVERYTHING involving art, would take some skill to pull off, just how much of it depends on the artist.
Criticing how the man shud look and wat not...u want to change the whole concept of my style.
Not true. I just want to see you improve, that's all.
Frozen, I have an idea.
Why don't you sign up and become a member of the VGCats forums?
You can go to the Artist's Alley, post up your work, and see what the multitude of artists (which mainly compose of WEB COMIC ARTISTS and CARTOONISTS) and see what they have to say? Trust me, their advice will help you out a lot.
Before you do, though, you need to know a few things about that forum:
1) Lurk about a bit on the forums. By lurk I mean come in as a guest, look through a few posts and threads, and see how business is carried out there. Know what to do, and know what NOT to do there. Also, read all of the rules that they've posted for everybody's convenience, in the General thread.
2) Introduce yourself in the Newbie Corner. Believe me when I say this, these people are sticklish about people and introductions, and tend to favour people who tell them a little about themselves. Be sure when you're introducing yourself, to tell them a little about yourself, not a whole biography on your life story, mind you, but just some info saying who you are, what you do, and stuff like that.
Also, in this forum, first impressions are everything.
Make a good one, and you will garner respect there.
While you're lurking, check out a few newbie threads and see how various people there are welcomed. It all depends on the first impression they give.
3) Whatever you do, do NOT take EVERYTHING seriously. There are some members on the forum that like to take a few cracks at the new guy. I assure you, this is all 'picong', just some ribbing to see if you have a sense of humour. However, there ARE some you have to take seriously, as they moderate the board. 'm2pt5' and 'jere' are two of them.
4) Be prepared to take any and all types of comments.
These people DEFINE brutal honesty, so if they tell you something, don't be p.o.ed because they may or may not like what they see. Some of these people are professionals, so if they don't like something, they will tell you, plain and simple, that they don't. And, more often than not, they will tell you what they like/don't like about the picture. (sometimes, it helps to ask why, but don't be pushy.) Believe me, I've seen some great pictures in the Artist's Alley, and yet some still find some flaw in it, even though it would look perfect otherwise. That's to tell you how perceptive they are.
So, whenever you're ready, here is the forum:
http://www.vgcats.com/forum (http://www.vgcats.com/forum)
...and here is the site:
http://www.vgcats.com (http://www.vgcats.com)
...looking forward to seeing you there.

To tell you the truth, Sith is right.
Let's not bicker over something like this.
I apologize if I was too rough in my review, Frozen.
What can I say? These things happen to you when stressful things like exams are just three days away and anxiety gets the better of you.
Anyway, on to business.
Here's a pic that personally has me STUMPED.
(http://img26.exs.cx/img26/3417/AbominatorRagewithinthemachine.th.jpg) (http://img26.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img26&image=AbominatorRagewithinthemachine.jpg)
I had the idea in my head, drew it, coloured it, and.....got completely stumped because dotish me doesn't know what else to do with it.
Any ideas?
-
okay
looks cool
btw but looks like he could be in pain maybe being shocked also looks like he could be breaking chains or something
umm .. ill keep thinking
-
ok apology accepted......i cud have seen where u were coming from but wat can i say but that i am a newbie at it
i browsed the site...wow they are good at drawing compared to me...but i dont draw i just do photoshop.
About picture wat do u want to do with it?? background or more character detail?
-
Both.
As you probably would imagine, Abominator as is is definitely NOT stand-alone material. He seems to be missing something.
As for the background, that's where I'm really stumped.
I have no CLUE what to insert as his background.
Well, as long as I'm here....
*clap, clap*
(http://img72.exs.cx/img72/9324/FutureWitchcolor.th.jpg) (http://img72.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img72&image=FutureWitchcolor.jpg)
A work-in-progress for a little contest they're having on the VGCats forums.
The challenge?
Draw a futuristic witch, wielding some futuristic device typical of a witch (staff, broom, whatever). By all means, this is NOT completed, I have only just started.
Any comments?
-
lol you like bright colours lol that is more a fairy to me use more wood and dark tones DAS just a suggestion cuz i like darker colours for witches. but am was d size of a sig i wanna try and make one for my self and how d you upload it
-
^^ imageshack for the super quick one stop upload
or photobucket which will compress and make an album of evry pic u ever uploaded so u can send peole there to watch a slide show ;)
and both free :)
and yeah witch looks cool thought i would go a little darker myself
oh and this is another sig i entering into the sig battle
i tried to take your advice neo only used 2 avatars ie simple
and put the name of the person i made it for anything else to critisize
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v430/JaganshiHiei/nejisigcopy.jpg)
-
That's pretty cool, Sith.
I think I like that one even more than the first.
Anyway, concerning my previous contribution, I'm done.
Now tell me what you guys think:
(http://img9.exs.cx/img9/2640/SylviatheTimeTravellingWitch.th.jpg) (http://img9.exs.cx/my.php?loc=img9&image=SylviatheTimeTravellingWitch.jpg)
Meet Sylvia.
If there was any one word to describe this enigmatic young witch, it would have to be MISCHEIF. Using her powers, which consists of a combination of modern technology and ancient sorcery, Sylvia travels across the fabric of time, bouncing from place to place, causing all kinds of mischeif. Though she means no harm, she is capable of using various forms of time manipulation, which is inclusive of slowing down, accelerating and even freezing time. She also uses her mode of transport (she's holding it in the picture), the Nimbus 5000 (a free balloon animal to anybody who guesses where I got that from), to travel at distances and speeds that can range from supersonic to speeds capable of tearing rifts in the fabric of time.
Well, I hope you guys like it.
I did consider the fact that her costume was awfully light for a time travelling witch, (then again, how many of them DO you run across?), so I made her colour scheme darker. I'm not too pleased with the way the legs turned out, but meh.
Live and learn, I guess.
By the way, this is my response issued to a challenge made on the VGCats forums.
The challenge?
Draw a witch/warlock from the future, weilding some form of futuristic spell casting device (be it a staff, broom, wand, whatever.) Well, I guess the Nimbus 5000 would count, considering that it enables Sylvia to propel herself through time.
Well, that's enough nonsense from me.
Later, dudes.
-
Ok for the background for "abominator" since he looks like he ready to run i say put a kinda high speed background thingie...darkish. Well wat i tryin to say is like put the right side visible going into a motion blured winded left.....u can try to paint over some of his body on a new layer and then set it to difference....
As for the second one......no clue..still hafta think
-
well done see i knew the darker tones would look better and nice describtion it sound like a good rp chracter (tell me if u win the compition) talking about pg visit my site http://hiei.ultra-gamers.com/ (http://hiei.ultra-gamers.com/)
blatant advertising lol
oh and thanks for your comment neo anyone else have any input (i would post in the looking for critisim thread but it already in the sig battle and i dont want to spam)
-
Just a little something I'm working on.
Call it a by-product of speakers blasting Knight Man's tune from Mega Man 6, and sheer undisputed BOREDOM.

Something I've been working on in the last couple of days.
Unfortunately, it fell short of my expectations when I finally completed it.
Here's the original art, sans the background:
