What do you think??

Used: Wacom + Photoshop

btw, are you not allowed to use Signatures on this forum?

any comments?

Your style is new to me... I rather like the second one, but it's not too detailed.

[Sui]

Did you trace over screenshots? It looks like you did. And I think you need more detail, to be honest.

[Sloth]

still pretty good, We can have sigs, just not picture ones.
Take up too much space, and makes the place look tacky.

They looked traced, but if they aren't the first one is rather awesome. Second one definately needs more detail before I can really say anything, though.

First shot is a trace of http://www.planethalflife.com/screenshot.asp?src=/half-life2/screenshots/20.jpg with a combine soldier in a pose resembling the one in http://www.hl2mods.co.uk/media/aug04/hl2combine.jpg which was not traced.

Second picture is a direct trace of http://pcmedia.gamespy.com/pc/image/halflife2pc_043004_006.jpg

Your brushwork is beautiful, nice soft colors and all nicely blended. But please, do not trace, and if you do, atleast say you did, because you aren't going to fool anyone on a Half-Life 2 message board :p

I didnt trace them :|

They were copied from those screenshots yes, but they wernt traced

I Like them! I'm not an artist, but I think the 2nd one needs more detail but as I said, i'm no artist so you can ignore it if you want :D. The first one is excellent. Nice work. I would say that a dark picture of the G-Man in your style would look cool!

[Shippi]

They're pretty cool :)

And Vegeta, I don't think they're traced. They're copied, but not traced. They're two totally different things

Nice work
