(still just a sketch)

Sorry for burning your eyes...

Insects are probably the only thing i can draw wich confidence in RL. Always ahd a facination with everything with 6 legs or more...

Once in a zoo the guide was holding a giant tarantula and asked me if i wanna hold it...i said no and he asked ,,you said you are not afraid of spiders'' and i said ,,i dont wanna hurt it''....at the end i hold it and scared of all my friends...

Why am i telling you beautyful PJ memeber this? Because i a insect freak so how do the legs look? It is pretty hard to make them look kinda right this sketch and i dont wanna start with problems in the work flow...because i hate redoing things mid work...

It looks like as an ant and  a bug at the same time :)
This is a pretty detailed sketch.
Go on, you can more think about position of its paws, it stand so uncertain now as if trying to stand on ice :D
- As I see it

I hate doing colors...

any comments on the shading? I now some places where the lightsource is wrong but am a really not very practiced in that...

The shape is a bit spikey.
Fatten up the abdomen a bit, maybe drop it down at the back a bit.
Knee joints are usually kind of like swollen and round in bugs.

Color is pretty good you might try a slight hue shift toward a warm color for your lightest color.

Get some hard tiny reflections on those eyes, maybe desaturate the red color a bit (unless the red is just where you're blocking in shapes for now)

Keep going has good potential.

,,Fatten up the abdomen a bit, maybe drop it down at the back a bit.''

Didt really understand the sentence (bad english + bad visual mind)

with ,,warm'' shift you mean? (again...no real idea whatcha mean)

Yea didt touch the eyes yet...

Thanks for the advise...i hope you can explai it for someone dumb again :D Probabaly things that i know but dont get yet...

Added spikey bits...thicken the joints a bit...the ass shoud be a bit bigger (i hope i understand that right) and am using more insect like feet now...

Thanks.

Yea i used the hwite color as an filler until i know a better one...

lets see how i make the surface...i am not to expirienced with that...

Finally got time to make something....

30 min of work so its pretty rough and i didt clean up much:


Not so sure on this one...have made a save file because this doesnt look to great :S

I see...so bigger pieces?

pixeljoint.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25159

these are some tiles that roughly resamble clay...shoud i do something like that?

coud you explain further?

(as always...not sure what you mean)

I see...well that will take a while but i can do that.

I see...i will try to do all things...still not sure whatcha mean by the colors :S

Okay..very helpful anyways ^^

Colors are always something very complicated for me because i dont see the appeal of colors most opf the time...i have to make most color very bright or us eblack and white because i have difficulys with contrast...maybe i shoud go to the doctor but i dont think thats anything.

Sorry for wasting your time...i am not the smartest and i am like a boulder that needd alot of energy to get going...but someday i can roll with alot of force by myself ^^

Again very sorry for any complication due to my own state of mind...(another word for: i am stupid)

EDIT:
Better?

Okay...

is the new underground good?

Looks great, it can still be a little more darken far legs and fangs and it will be very good!

Ah, you posted while I was wording my response!
Be careful with your lightsource. What is causing those little shadows on the rocks? They seem to be lit by a different lightsource than the bug.
Also, since you have that dark dirt colour available, why not use it to AA the bug's shadow?

ummmm...wich color you mean?...

better?
