Slippy, Generic Eric, PBJ, Yot, SavannahLion, PurpleStuff, Tallgeek, Rocky, Sjaak, and Ond - thanks guys, I appreciate the feedback and look forward to making some more sawdust here shortly.

I'm ironing out the fullsize cab plans, it's taking me a bit as I'm working from ether but once I get that done it should go together quickly. Of course, that's just a small piece of this project.

I too am looking forward to the next music update. I'm itching to hear that completed panic tune.

I, for one, love the art, and I think the space babe is perfect for it. I love the gradients and how it is not in any way trying to be "3d" or "photorealistic" with shadowing, but rather a pretty pure "pop art" style. I think you nailed it!

You mentioned that the plastics on the CP will introduce the highlight color.. are you going with purple controls then? I love the gray with purple, and adding the green for highlight fits the style to perfection, and the reddish blond hair gives it just enough pop! Did you draw this from scratch or start with some basic pinup art and go from there? Either way I applaud your photoshop skills, I have enough experience with photoshop to know just how much talent you need to achieve something of this grade. Beyond my talents, no doubt.

BTW, after reading X2's critiques of colors here and in my latest project thread, I think he is color blind..

pbj:
He's colorblind, he's posted stuff before from a "colorblind artist friend" that was almost certainly his work.

Being colorblind myself, I can say that things often look rather weird to us that look fine to the rest of you. Particularly all this obsession over 'shading', it's probably because some of the half tones look off in his eyes. I generally possess the self-awareness to keep my mouth shut about others color choices, though. (and keep my own choices to primary colors)

My issue with it was the rampant and needless sexualization of yet another woman in this hobby's artwork. But, wait, aren't I the Konkey Dong guy? Why, yes, yes I am and that was my 'comment' on the matter. I helped a guy do a custom translite for a Chicago Coin Astronaut once, and we basically plastered the thing with space chicks and ray guns. Not ALL of them are begging for the player to come and rip off their space suits. I haven't actually unwrapped my copy of the new Tomb Raider game but it seems like they did a much better job of the attractive woman that can fend for herself.

Here's a couple of examples I netswiped:

I'd prefer to see something along the lines of the first image. I can get my porn elsewhere. It's awesome that he's going to release all the artwork assets so we can tweak as we see fit. No further comment needed.

:cheers:

dkersten:
So for you it is clothes, not the curves that are the line between "OK" and "smut"? So if the space babe in question had a skin tight suit that covered her thighs, midriff, and arms, it would be acceptable to you? Or is it her pose that you have a problem with?

Just wondering, personally I don't see it as overly sexual, and to me, pinup is not porn it is art. But then I am dating a former stripper who has been in front of the camera a time or two, so I suppose my views on sexuality are probably a little different from yours.. :cheers:

yotsuya:
I agree with Dave, I don't see it as being overly sexual as well. Maybe if she was helpless and clinging to a man, that would be a different story.

And I'd glad you brought up Rapey Kong, because I didn't want to be that guy....
