So I've been learning Inkscape to draw art for my games and I love it! I am almost getting addicted and sometimes I just need something to draw so heres the deal:
I will probably only have time for one person a week or so so don't be too upset if I don't draw something for you.
It can be anything from UI to characters and animations. My favorite things are mechanical stuff like helicopters and robots but I can do other stuff.
It would be very much appreciated if you could please add some credit in your games to mine if you use this art.
Thanks!

    Wow, thanks for the art. It is a lot better than what I could do. Also if this isn't asking for to much could you make a red eviler looking ball like that but with a mohawk instead of a police hat and have it facing to the right not left? Thanks again for the art work.

    @EggeyGames
    I couldn't get a mohawk to look right so I just gave him devil horns.

    Nothing is there. Did you upload the picture wrong?
  • blue_elephantblue_elephant Member Posts: 505
    Really? It's there for me. Are you on a mobile device? I think sometimes they only work on a desktop.

    @blue_elephant - It's great that you are offering free art... but I would suggest polishing your skills and using google images for references. E.g. the police man's cap looks a lot like an old american soldiers cap and the mohawk turned into a horn of sorts.
    Think of the contrast in your image - the hands get lost as they have the same colour as the body - by adding more highlight you can bring them out nicely. By adding some extra highlight to the ball shape it will look less boring - a radial fill as a base is fine but some added detail - e.g. a secondary light, a bit of added shine and some shadow from the cap - will make a big difference with very little effort.

    This quick try in inkscape might show what I mean:

    Keep up the work but try and look at reference images, look at how others did this sort of art [e.g. there is heaps and heaps of smiley illustrations out there [which basically is your ball with eyes and expresssions] and add that little bit of polish. It's a sure way to improve your skills.

    awesome art @blue_elephant ;) can you do flat design art?
  • blue_elephantblue_elephant Member Posts: 505
    @SpriteAttack
    Wow I see what you mean haha, yours is a lot better. I did those images pretty fast. I'll be sure to take more time on them as I can make better art.
    People and faces aren't my forte haha. I do use google images most of the time. I actually used this as a reference image for the police cap but I can see why I should've used a more modern one

    Thanks for the tips. Your a really good artist and I hope to be half as good as you someday.
    I guess this is way I'm offering it for free haha.
    Thanks!

    Hey, can you make a steel beam ( w:40 ; h:320 )?
  • SpriteAttackSpriteAttack Member Posts: 524
    @blue_elephant... yes... the blockbuddies policeman is not the ideal reference. I had some technical restrictions that caused the hat to be a lot flatter than I would have liked... :)

    Keep up the good work!
