Let's post some pictures! (Of yourself or..Whatever else.)

Last night I was doing some drawing and I was trying to practice inking with a traditional ink. When I draw on paper, my style is usually very rough and sketchy, so I was trying to practice drawing with smoother lines.

This is an idea I have for a comic book character.

I've been working with this idea for a while now, but ever since playing Bloodborne I've felt more inspired regarding the costume design and how his powers should look.

I'm pretty lame like that but sometimes in my spare time I like to come up with concepts and ideas for stories and characters.
 
My favorite part about this drawing is how the tips lightning bolts shape into blades; such a cool touch. He kind of has a 'Pitch Black' vibe going on with the goggles and a Vincent FF7 look about him. Awesome drawing, man!
 
Yeah, the Vincent inspiration is a dead give away (e.g. the cloak, the big gun, the dark hair) but I do like the Pitch Black style goggles.

The whole lightning claw things... it's an idea I had. The idea is that from both hands, the guy can... I dunno, launch kinda "lightning claws" from his fingers, to do things like attacking enemies from afar, retrieving particular objects from afar, swinging on ledges/climbing etc. It's an idea for a comic/story I have.

Thanks StudioTan, glad you like it. :)
 
So... a long time ago I tried getting into drawing web comics. I've tried a few times now. At first I tried back in 2008 - 2009, then I tried again in 2012 and now I'm kinda doing it with GR Strips. I love drawing and I'm grateful that I have the opportunity to draw comics right here at GameRevolution, but one day I would love to draw my own comics once again.

Back in 2008 - 2009 I was about twenty, twenty one years old. It was my first attempt at comics (some of which I have posted right here on the forums a very long time ago), they were quite low res but somehow... I dunno, I just like 'em. As dumb as it sounds, when ever I need inspiration, I look to these original comics, why I started trying to draw comics in the first place. I'd like to share them with you all.

Be warned. This will be a long post and I apologize in advanced.

01 - "I Disagree"

01%20-%20I%20Disagree_zpsrcbidwnv.jpg


This comic was when both Break.com and deviantART (sites I used to frequent) got dramatic make overs. deviantART's makeover at the time was horrible. They've improved now, I guess.

02 - "Defying Physics"

02%20-%20Defying%20Physics_zpswxzrgftu.jpg


This comic is really immature, but it introduces the four characters I had planned on using. Jeff (green shirt), Eugiene (blue shirt), Laurence (red head) and Layla (girl). Jeff and Eugiene were based off close friends of mine "iRL" who I'm still friends with today, Laurence was essentially a stereotype of the "Internet basement dweller" and Layla, who's name was inspired by Eric Clapton's "Layla" is the token female. I had originally wanted Layla to be a wannabe dark-goth character who had a secret obsession with Pokemon and Pokemon related products.

Immature, I know.

03 - "The Unspeakable"

03%20-%20The%20Unspeakable_zps8zrsw4aw.jpg


This was around the time HD DVD was around and at war with Blu Ray. This comic was based off a discussion between a friend and I.

04 - "Waterworks"

04%20-%20Waterworks_zpsk0qwx6uf.jpg


I came up with this comic when I was in the bath room and there was a moth flying around me. Don't ask.

05 - "Genetic Projection"

05%20-%20Genetic%20Projection_zps43tdvylq.jpg


I love the Fallout games and despite initial paranoia of Fallout 3, I loved that game too. However, I thought the whole genetic projector thing was really stupid.

06 - "Dark Side"

06%20-%20Dark%20Side_zpsbed9ei0l.jpg


Not exactly my funniest comic. In fact, it's one of my dumbest. I'm not proud of this one.

07 - "Get It?"

14%20-%20Parody_zpspm9acpx3.jpg


This one will be hard to read due to the size, but basically... I can't stand the web comic "Ctrl+Alt+Del", I really can't. I don't like it and I don't like Tim Buckley. That being said, I respect, and am somewhat envious of Buckley's success... so I decided to do a parody comic about one of Buckley's most infamous story lines.

08 - "Still Alive"

08%20-%20Still%20Alive_zps4bltrrkf.jpg


I didn't have the best writing back then (in fact, I still don't) but I enjoyed drawing this comic due to drawing it from a first person perspective. It was a lot of fun.

09 - "I Love Me Some A.I"

09%20-%20I%20Love%20Me%20Some%20A.I_zpsko8qzye1.jpg


I'm sure we can all agree that despite how awesome Fallout 3 was, the A.I in it was completely retarded. Star Paladin Cross, don't use your hammer, use this gun instead. Got it? You're holding the gun now? Good. Wait. Why are you running? Why do you have your hammer? You stupid f-

10 - "If Only"

10%20-%20If%20Only_zpsgfwajlay.jpg


I got bored at uni a lot. Again, this one isn't that funny either and might be a bit difficult to read.

11 - "Stop And Stare"

11%20-%20Stop%20and%20Stare_zpsse77cxkw.jpg


I used to work at a video game store, or well... a store that sold video games, as well as a lot of other things, I worked in the games area. It was Australia's version of Best Buy, being JB Hi-Fi. One day the song Stop and Stare was playing and I heard some guy say "I hate this fucking song" and that's where this comic came from.

12 - "Results May Vary"

12%20-%20Results%20May%20Vary_zpsosbhz75p.jpg


I guarantee you, this is what will happen to you if you watch Dragon Ball: Evolution.

13 - "Budokai"

13%20-%20Budokai_zpsh1vcw5vj.jpg


I had a couple of mates who would fart at each other all the time and depending on how loud or/and smelly the fart was, they would yell out particular anime/video game techniques.I also really liked Dragon Ball Z: Budokai 3, that was a fun game.

14 - "Gentleman's Midnight Critique"

15%20-%20Gentlemans%20Midnight%20Critique_zpsiez61hes.jpg


This movie was also really, really dumb.

15 - "Dreams"

16%20-%20Dreams_zpsqpkinu7l.jpg


I wanted to explore the minds of the four characters I had made, and I also wanted to make a super creepy comic.

16 - "Payback"

17%20-%20Payback_zpsbwaxhv5a.jpg


Again my maturity strikes here. I like to think I've grown up a little bit... just a little.

17 - "Bring Out The Big Guns"

18%20-%20Here%20Come%20The%20Big%20Guns_zpsowwp9y8o.jpg


One of my favourite comics. I really enjoyed Resident Evil 5, but my mate and I couldn't stop making fun of Chris' ridiculous arms.

Hope you all like my old stuff!
 
Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li wasn't that bad. It was fast-paced and short, but not bad. I still love seeing Robin Shou play Gen in the film.
 
Still looking through all of that, but I thought I'd come down here and let you know that your mom is black in Fallout 3.

I wasn't a fan of the movie, but fair enough. Robin Shou is a pretty cool actor, loved him in Mortal Kombat and Beverly Hills Ninja.

Haha, yeah I've been told about this one.
 
Hey Colin, you're posting nothing but pics of drinks on your snapchat too! Is this your new thing, have you just rediscovered the beauty of alcohol?

Rediscovered? It was never lost my friend.

This is what I have been into lately. Was on sale and is real nice.

Ok. I have to say. You *need* to try Forty Creek Confederation Oak Reserve , If not that, Bastille which is a French whiskey oddly enough.

There's a place just down the street from me that serves Blantons for like 7 bucks a shot.
