Removing some of my images I just no longer liked. The newer ones are at the bottom. Thanks for the C&C.

QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
Nice start. On the robot figure, it seems like there are some proportion problems. I'm assuming you trying to keep roughly with human proportion, and the thighs, even with foreshortening, seem short. Still, I'm not exactly a pro myself, and there's a lot of really cool ideas here also. Keep it up.
Thanks for the C&C. I noticed the problems with the anatomy after the fact, same witht he foreshortening. Which is why I am going to redo the pose again. The character itself is suppose to be about 9' tall. So I am trying to make it big and bulky, but not in an absurd way. Hopefully the thrid reendition will work.
QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
those are cool
i really like robos n mechs like that
yaya foreshortening is a fukin hard nut
i suggest doing smal and tons of studies.. saves lotsa time and u do 100 instead of one studie
do cubes and cylinders.. also rotate them .. this should gave u a basic head.. but..u can do that exercise until u know how to allign*orient cubes in 3D space "perfectly".. that means u know all shapes for each degree.. full 3D turn is 360 degree on 1 axis .. one shape for one degree...
i still draw cubes now and then to get more skills in orienting and alligning ma stuff in 3D space
keep up !
smoother, free lines. Less stiff and restricted
Found some more stuff from the mid 90's before I stopped working on art. Trying to get back to something along these lines...
QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
The last one is cool. Keep rocking!
try to think in values more, pretty much all of your drawings lack contrast, and many are too light. there are some heavy dark lines that look accidental, too. remember that line is value, too!
keep it up!
Thanks for the comments. The last three pictures were made in the mid 90's, so I believe my style has changed somewhat. As for the hard lines, the plan is to complete the images in color on computer... once I can get my hands on a tablet and some time. I might spend more time, doing more contrast in the pencils instead of waiting. Thank you all again.
QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
This is the last of them, enjoy...
QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
Very nice work. I like that robot piece. Checkback, I'll have some more stuff in my sketchbook. Later
Just wanted to post something. Planning to ink and/or do this incomputer, which is why I left so much negative space.
QTF IMI.... It's a MI thing!
that last ship is really 'retro star wars', why not make a sketch model out of card?? that'd be cool and would give you loads of ideas in the process.
I started this last week and I just wanted to post this to see what others thought. I am still working on the anatomy issues but considering some of my earlier efforts, this is better. Any C&C would be welcomed. Thank you...

June 14: Meds & More Meds: Can We Trust Pharmaceutical Co's? ~ PODCAST |
Thursday, 10 June 2010 | |
You might be surprised about what really goes into the development of new drugs and getting us to buy them ... especially since two-thirds of the US population now take prescription drugs. And Americans spend more on medicating themselves than all the people of Japan, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and Argentina--combined! Researchers say that one American dies every five minutes from prescription drugs "taken as directed." Find out what you need to know ... listen to podcast now or tune in today at noon Pacific Time. Melody Petersen is a former reporter for The New York Times, where she covered the pharmaceutical industry. Her investigative reporting won a Gerald Loeb award - one of the highest honors in business journalism. She's been on Bill Moyer's Journal and in her new book - Our Daily Meds - Petersen, investigates the pharmaceutical industry and how its marketers "invent diseases to sell the pills that 'cure' them". The New York Times calls this Melody Petersen's work "Tough, cogent, and disturbing ... A chilling investigation." Rebroadcast. |

Why do not believe that did anything illegal -- ever thought I was doing anything illegal.
I did an awful awful lot and that was wrong.
And there is no one else.
For my -- None of the people he came to court and testified.
Are responsible.
Nobody working for the government is responsible.
Am responsible and if I want to find the person.
Who should be held accountable for my sins.
Honestly I don't have to go any further than the mere.
Former democratic presidential candidate former democratic vice presidential nominee John -- words.
On a day when the judge in Greensboro, North Carolina declared a mistrial the jury took nine days to come up with some decision.
It found Edwards not guilty on one count of accepting illegal donations campaign donations.
And didn't come to a decision on five other -- the judge declared a mistrial what about.
This case.
Where it goes from here Steve.
Well I hope that's the last time -- ever have to listen to John Edwards give any kind of -- speech in any set of circumstances.
This was a difficult case I think for the government to make it spent a lot of time it's been a lot of money prosecuting and I have zero sympathy.
For John Edwards even though -- sometimes as a Christian try.
But I do have a lot of sympathy for his parents mean.
Watching them in the background there is absolutely heartbreaking to see his mom and dad stay in there by his side.
-- after all of the things that have been revealed about his failures as a human being I think it's just tragic flaw.
Well -- you know -- one of the fools who -- there.
The -- I thought he was the real deal way back I don't know if you guys remember the two America's speeches and he was just such a charismatic figure he was.
He he really came into the democratic ranks of democratic contenders with a certain power and style that reminded people of John F.
I mean that's and and he was coming from the -- it was a new Democrat.
And to see it come to this is just so obese so awful such a waste.
I think even in -- spot in the champagne tonight well you know he's popping the champagne and Brett on a short term deal you know he got off by the skin and his team.
But let me ask you something would you trust him took to walk the dog would you would you if you had a legal matter would you go to John Edwards if you had a political campaign.
Would you trust it to John Edwards which do you think he can run for any office.
Even dog -- I mean I'm not trying to be cruel but I don't think it's there fall from grace and a.
That's certainly this is a guy who ruined his life and got away with it.
-- across America you could say well he lost his reputation but a lot of people are thinking well wait another two sets of rules for somebody like him and then there's somebody like me.
One curious thing I don't think the government should retry this case but I do wonder then for everybody that and gives a gift to to somebody else you have to declare that his income so.
At some point is this money going to be declared as a gift for what then what was it it if everybody else gets taxed for it and what was this if it wasn't illegal.
-- I hate to be so cold and calculating about this but I think.
This will not be retried I think it's a good thing.
There is a distinction between bad -- and illegal behavior.
And I'm glad that the jury upheld that because they have a tendency to criminalize -- to want to criminalize all bad behavior.
And I think that the case for criminality it was extremely.
Thin what I found most interesting is what he said after this.
What he said he wants to continue to work for the poor.
And he used a phrase that Jesse Jackson had used in the the Democratic Convention of 1984.
When he made a convention speech after losing the nomination.
Jesse Jackson said that god is not finished with -- yet.
Well -- was used almost the same phrase he said god -- not done with -- Which had this echo and Jackson mankind another shot at the presidency -- -- in politics.
I hope Edwards wasn't implying that prevent criminal trial balloon.
Somebody who's lost any prospect of the future in politics hoping that perhaps they'll be something if he is hoping he's delusional so I hope.
Knock -- down the road is this case retried -- now.
Unanimous well it was a whispered now so you -- no absolutely OK okay.
This was not a hung jury and -- That's it for the panel Dana thanks for --

text: Can't we use airborne (or non-airborne for that matter) drones to investigate tornadoes now? They're faster, inexpensive-ish, flexible, can be designed to be disposable, and can reach any altitude along the tornado and fly right into it. Although they may enjoy it, it seems such a waste to put people with so much knowledge in harm's way.

Gospel Art Picture Kit
Alma 23–24
They took their swords, and all the weapons which were used for the shedding of man's blood, and they did bury them up deep in the earth. Alma 24:17
The four sons of King Mosiah—Ammon, Aaron, Omner, and Himni—went among the Lamanites as missionaries. Many Lamanites believed their teachings and were converted, including the king. He told his people not to hurt or imprison the missionaries. They were free to preach the gospel throughout the land. (See Alma 23:1–3.)
Thousands of Lamanites joined the Church of God and became a righteous people. These converts laid down their weapons of war and refused to fight against God or anyone else anymore. (See Alma 23:5–7.) These people no longer wanted to be called Lamanites, so they named themselves Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They became a hardworking people and friends of the Nephites. (See Alma 23:16–18.)
Many Lamanites, however, had not been converted to the truth. These Lamanites became angry, rebelled against the king, and decided to fight the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. (See Alma 24:1–2.) At this time, having conferred the kingdom upon his son Anti-Nephi-Lehi, the old king died. When the sons of Mosiah saw the Lamanites preparing for war, they met with the new king to decide what could be done to defend the people. (See Alma 24:3–5.)
The Anti-Nephi-Lehies would not take up weapons to fight the Lamanites. The people had repented of their past sins and murders, and God had forgiven them. If they were to kill again, they would not be forgiven. (See Alma 24:6–13.)
As a testimony to God, the Anti-Nephi-Lehies buried their swords and all their weapons of war deep in the earth. They covenanted that they would never kill again. Rather than shed the blood of others, they would give up their own lives. They also promised they would give to others rather than take, and instead of being idle, they would work hard. (See Alma 24:17–18.)
When the Lamanite warriors came to fight, the Anti-Nephi-Lehies went out to meet them. They knelt on the ground and began to pray. The Lamanites fell upon them and began killing them with their swords. They killed a total of 1,005 Anti-Nephi-Lehies. When the attacking Lamanites saw that the Anti-Nephi-Lehies would not fight back, they stopped killing them. Their hearts began to swell with sorrow for what they had done. Many of these Lamanites also repented, threw down their weapons, and joined the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. (See Alma 24:21–25.)
That day the number of Lamanites who repented and joined the people of God exceeded the number of Anti-Nephi-Lehies who had been killed. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies knew that those who died were righteous and would be saved in the kingdom of God. They also knew that they had given their lives to bring more people to the truth. (See Alma 24:26–27.)
Many Lamanites believed the teachings of the sons of Mosiah. They repented of their past sins and murders and were forgiven. These converts did not want to be known as Lamanites anymore and chose to be called Anti-Nephi-Lehies. The Lamanites who were not converted became angry and prepared to attack the believers. The Anti-Nephi-Lehies, however, buried their weapons of war and promised to never kill again. When the Lamanite army attacked, the Anti-Nephi-Lehies bowed to the ground and prayed. Over a thousand were killed. The Lamanites stopped killing them when they realized the Anti-Nephi-Lehies would not fight back. Many of the attacking Lamanites repented, threw down their weapons, and joined with the Anti-Nephi-Lehies.
