I figured I'd go and make another pointless contribution to the community :P

The background:

I like to doodle, nothing serious, just a hobby. A while back I started to get inspirations from DOW. Being also a huge fan of anime&manga, I started to think about mixing the two. With a sudden torrent of inspirtions I scethced a bunch of DOW characters with an attemt to make them using the most generalized anime characteristics. Well I'm still not much further than the scetches but I figured that if I post the scethces here and get much undeserved praise from you guys :P, I might be inspired to finish them sooner and get on with my much needed practice.

So on to the pictures.

The first here is actually latest I have and was inpired by none other than the Rebirth mod. It's supposed to be funny, but I've never been all that great at making up jokes, so if any of you can come up with a better dialogue, I'd be happy to replace the current with that. Other than that, the pic is nearly finished (requieres some minor tweaks and finishups), unless I decide to color it.



The next pic is simply an anime version of a banshee, still at a scetch phase. When I get it inked, I'll repost it.



The third is a scetch of farseer in anime mode. Will also repost when inked.



The fourth is a scetch on a set up, which, when finished, is supposed to be funny (refer to pic 1). Also inspired by Rebirth. Again repost after inked.



For now the final pic: I call it "Howling banshee practicing her howl". It's just a pic I used to hone my photoshop skills and it is not finished because I lost the original working file. All I have left is this jpg of the latest stage.



There will be some more scetches after I get them scanned.

Now then, bring on the praise and worship the pics :P

P.S. While I'm aware that posting pics in public is like putting up a great big neon sign saying "please criticize me", I ask for two things when criticizing these pics
1) Keep it constructive
2) Please note that I'm doing this thing out of fun and I'm not striving for perfection
(For those who seek perfection, there can be no rest this side of the grave :) )

boy those pics are ugly as fuck

just kidding :D

Great pics, I especially enjoy the termie spam pic. Good job.

Hmmm might be time for some orky pics... ;)

I knew I could count on Inq to try and screw with me :D

@Trizz: Actually I do have an idea on an orky pic. The trouble at the moment is making it look orky. I have been trying, but have not been successful yet.

I estimate a 33% rise in ego at this moment, thanks and keep it up guys :P

Hmm, maybe we can use this as loading screens! :lol:

Ahem, anyway, I wonder how Tau would look in anime.... <_<

PS: For those who seek perfection, apply at your nearest Slaaneshi recruitment center.... :rolleyes:

slaaneshi recruitment center..........Look at my new avatar :P

If you seriously wish to, feel free :P. Anyhow should this happen I'll color up the pic.

The Tau are alrady anime, are they not? I mean the mechas are anyhow.
Besides tau are nothing next to orks, trying to make an WH40K ork in anime is a bitch...

That last pic with the chick that looks like shes going super sayen, is her tits drooping? Great legs, but the tits make her look like shes in her 60's! loz :blink:

LUV that termie spam pic! Would luv to see some more about winter assault! Could make some great jokes and entertaining loading screens!!! And if they r done really well, screen savers! I know I would! B)

Cheers
-Ultra SImon :D

Oh you just had to meantion the boobs did you? Now you've done it, now you got me started about boobs :P. Let me tell you about drawing boobs: There are 3 main ways to do it

1) Realistic
2) Utterly unrealistic (aka comin book heroes and such)
3) Slightly enhanced

Doing boobs realistic will make them look a bit sagging, which is what you see in the pic (not that I intented that :P ). The unrealistic boobies are huge, gravity defying round balls which by some wierd magic stay attached. I hate these boobs, they are the "easy way". What I strife for is 3), which is common in anime. This means they are placed slightly higher than realistic boobs, but they are drawn in realistic shape (a teacup, not a ball).

The thing is that while there is plenty of nice advice on general proportions for human body, there is sadly little on drawing nice boobs. Thus for me making the boobs with accordance to 3) is horribly difficult.

Considering that the pic you mentioned was inteded as a "humorous" pic, I could have gone for boobs like these



But since I loath them, I opted to try for the 3), which went bad

BTW just in case: I'm not ranting AT you, I'm just ranting in general :D
Ergo, thanks for all the comments, they were appriciated :)
