DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-18-2013
Starring smrrfette and mannyhaatz! It's us just trying to do the damn thing.
There will be blood. (there won't be blood)
This thread will be a conglomerate of many things in the beginning. Hopefully, we will become more streamlined in terms of routine as we progress. As we LVL UP and PROGRESS, I said. Feel free to stop by and lend some advice!

RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-18-2013
lmao yes!
LET'S DO THIIIIIS :D
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-19-2013
This thread is about pushing ourselves to the limit with any kind of challenge we assign ourselves at random times. We start "small" - finishing pieces to absolute completion from generators and such, until we eventually move up to competing in CHoW, but most importantly - Bloodsports. After certain increments, we may switch from generated design briefs, etc to a CHoW/EoW (or something similar, w/e) to note any weaknesses or improvements and strive to get better.
We'll be posting wips, sketches, studies and anything pertaining to the assigned challenges in this thread (including the finished piece :3). Individual studies not to do with said challenges will remain in our sketchbook thread alone. Although if we both decide that instead of a challenge we would like to study a specific thing together e.g. hands, then that'll go in this thread as well. Finished pieces will also be posted in the finished pieces/critiques thread in hopes of receiving any crits.
Anyways, that's the gist of the DANGER SQUAD
Any comments are welcome :3
1st objective:
Use the character generator and create a 100% finished piece of the generated char. Sweat and blood must be put into this piece. Due Monday.
- Task assigned by Mannyhaatz
ref gallery setup for future studies and such and wip:

Here is some exploration in my generated character via skehtchins
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-19-2013

Keeping fingers crossed for u, people. Good luck!
For motivation:
:)
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-21-2013
HAHA
kerm, you legend!
Thanks for the support <3
more stuffs, staying away from it for a couple of hours methinks. So many juicy problems faced ... and a butt-tonne to come.
Must reset!
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - Virid Rain - 11-21-2013
Ok, now I will have Cuban Pete in my head all the day ! :D
Great start guys, can't wait to see the final ! (I've planed to do that too, the character generator is an awesome tool, but I can't find the time ! D: ...poor time managing meh :( )
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-24-2013
These characters sure help with design sense and costumes and stuffffffffff and sheeeeeit!
Sorry for the lack of studies, I study the style guide before I begin each day so I can essentially apply what I observed onto my character. It helps me, especially since I don't necessarily have time to do a focused set of studies along with working on this biiish. (oh, and sorry for not posting the style sheet too. I'll upload it with my final image.)
A load of WIPS, thus far.
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-25-2013
Here is the final dude and images i looked at during the creation of this guy.
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-27-2013
Finally, it's complete:
Higher res here on my dA
Alright, time to fall in on myself and froth at the mouth c:
*High fives Mannyhaatz for mission complete!*
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-28-2013
That's what the hell I'm talking about; great job smrrfette!
MISSION COMPLETE INDEED!
i failed the side quest though ): we almost had that 100% completion rating haha
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-28-2013
Hell yeeeeeessss!! Right back at you Man! Oh right, forgot about the secondary objective :'( poop. Oh well haha, we'll work side quests into the bigger picture... some day, idk haha
So, I got dibs on our 2nd project right? Mwehheheh
*rubs hands together maniacally*
Alright, gonna think about it!
Btw, what time is it wherever you're at?
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-28-2013
Yessssss, I'm excited for what you are plotting! It is almost 11pm over here...Gradually approaching the shit hours of the night...
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-28-2013
Hahahaha and damn what a funny time difference o_o when you posted that, I was coming up to 4pm. Though definitely manageable!
Well, by the time you wake up, I'll have the next project will be up for sure :) ... and by the time you see it, I'd probably be asleep o_° lol
Anyways, gotta get back to it and make it triiiickkyy >:D o/
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-28-2013
Objective 2:
Create a male or female portrait/bust. Can be any genre. But the focus is taking the head and hands (especially) to a finished render.
With an emphasis on both the head and hands - you must compose the character's hands well within the painting.
Example: http://dahlig.deviantart.com/art/The-Oracle-50266146
Due: 12 Dec 2013
(so I hope to see some juicy studies and wips in the upcoming days ;) )
Time 2nd objective set: Thurs, 28 Nov 2013, 7:48PM
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - devinn - 11-29-2013
Now THIS is a challenge, in every sense of the word! The studies will be aplenty; juicy, tangy, citrus flavored studies.
Feels good to study with a purpose, with a goal in mind.
I'M SO DAMN EXCITED. Good luck!
RE: DANGER SQUAD!! - smrr - 11-29-2013
Yeah it is HAHA :D
I know what you mean, I love this feeling!
Here's an amazing resource I found, hopefully it helps
