Lkr Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 for the longest time i thought there was some awkward hand coming out of nowhere underneath one of the presents. glad the full drawing cleared that up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 The hand looks like a Duck's mouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Overall its nice, but that hand is seriously [expletive]ed up lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Also im sure you could draw up the same background. It looks weird with a hand drawn pic and then a graphic (idk if that is right word) pic for the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 Haha reminds me of some weird hand submissions on reddit today/yesterday http://i.imgur.com/iFnzl.jpg http://i.imgur.com/fhihx.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuraman00 Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 "Dashin' through the air 'n a no-horse open sleigh..." http://i.imgur.com/zDfCk.jpg A collab with BeBallinyao06. I drew it, bb added the background, then I edited the text a bit.. wanted to add an outline to the text, maybe a yellowish glow to match the moon.. And lose the sun (lower right corner), and add trails (stunning smoky light effect) but won't be able to take it to the next level before X-mas so... enjoy the raw version!

Overall, I like it. However, I would have moved the "Merry X-Mas" so it wasn't on top of the moon. Perhaps somewhere else where it's just the black night. And I don't like the guy on the sleigh, blocking the moon. I just want to see the moon clearly. It also seems a bit duplicate to have one silhouette in front of the moon, and another on the sleigh. Nice touch with the snowflake on Santa's jersey. Suggestion: Maybe add Chris Paul (or even Del Negro), as "Rudolph"? To symbolize one of them guiding the way. Maybe that would make the art too complicated. Just a thought though. I like how you have the trees. And I also like how the night isn't all uniformly black, but there's a little bit of blurry light on the bottom right. To me, that creates an image of the sleigh traveling fast, and thus leaving some vapor trails. Or it creates some sort of illusion of the sleigh traveling through the night.

Sħãlïq™ Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 @ChosenOne: Yeah, that hands are kinda hard to draw... He's supposed to have 4 fingers, BTW. And yeah, I agree -- you could draw up the same background. It'll look better... I'll go for it! * * * (...)And I don't like the guy on the sleigh, blocking the moon.

No intention of blocking the moon. Having a clear moon is a good idea tho'. On having two silhouette: it's part of site's history: (...)Bonus feature -- OTR's baller silhouettes: http://i.imgur.com/klkU9.pnghttp://www.discusshoops.com/forums/topic/29100-favorite-otr-banner/ Thanks for the props on the snowflake on his jersey. I loved those. Shame there won't be a snowflake on this year's X-Mas jerseys. Chris Paul or VDN as "Rudolph"? Hmmm, I'll think about it.. On the trees: Yeah, I needed some trees there! On your last comment (And I also like how the night isn't all uniformly black, but there's a little bit of blurry light on the bottom right. To me, that creates an image of the sleigh traveling fast, and thus leaving some vapor trails. Or it creates some sort of illusion of the sleigh traveling through the night.): That was my intention. I'll have to work on it to make it seem like the sleigh traveling through the night.... * * * @ everyone else: Thanks for the comments!

Sħãlïq™ Posted December 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2012 (edited) Hand is still [expletive]ed and the background isn't drawn. C'mon man!I haven't been working on these two, bro. I touched the text and added some shades. It'll take me hours to draw the back, and I'm already working on one other project, to be honest... I guess I'll draw the back and fix the hand sometime next month. Edited December 24, 2012 by Sħãlïq Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
