First Try... be gentle...

[Pilot143]

been playing around with illustrator for a few now... first project thats been finished... the others kinda dropped off and never got finished... maybe one day?

either way... its the reaper from blind skateboards... been thinking of a "nine-lives" title with him off to the side in some shape or form.

lemme know what you think...

I think it's great ... first try or not ... I'm envious!  Gotta start reading up on illustrator myself!

Cool work... if you want my opinion, a little more shading would bring it all together, make the skull stand out more.    I Like it!  Keep it up!

Great character! A little advise: the blade of the skythe: I think the line is too thin. To match the style of the character add a black outline that doesn't exactly match the line (in other words, don't just make the line thicker): the black line on the tip of the blade should be pointy and in line with the curve of the blade.
The character is cool and extremely suitable for a marquee! Keep it up!

thanks for the advice guys... I'll start a new one once the next one is up...

update:  wiped computer for farious reasons... and backed up everything... so I thought??  long story short... most of my GOOD artwork is gone, and I'm left with examples and thats about it... SUCKS!  

...atleast I get the practice

Here it is again... I found a better pic to base off of this time around...

Very cool.  The 2nd one is much better in terms of the facial appearance of the character.

Great job on your first attempt!  Now if I could just find the time to vectorize some TMNT graphics I have...

tmnt was another thought I was having for one... I've got a few sitting around that I really haven't done much with... one of my 'started and turned out bad' projects, so it was never finsihed... have to restart it all over...

email me what you have and maybe I'll give it a try...

I have to say..

the top of the eyes... The difference makes the 2nd look sweet... the first looks more evil to me.

Whats the chance of a version with a machine gun behind him?  would look great in my frontend for all gun games.

I've seen those files before... and have most of them saved for future work (if I ever decide to as a cab atleast)... but yes, very nice...

heres the .ai file for anybody that wants to look at it, or add a machine gun, etc...  as always, change txt to ai when saved.

** damn that sucks... I cant' get it to save as a .txt file... its up on my web... http://home.comcast.net/~pilot14303/
