Mission Impossible 3 Final

Sorry hon- I've already been through all of this- Tom has a very flat cheek, and the origanal lighting of this picture made shading in that area very unnoticable- expecially after the contrasting I did to counter the scanner munching up my blacks and whites. That and his lighting is very sideways... but they gave him a bunch of other weird lighting effects to not blacken him out http://image.blog.livedoor.jp/huestyle/imgs/d/c/dc25d87f.jpg That's a link to a high res version of the pic. As you'll see- I've actully given him some stuff he doesn't have in the origanal (simply cause it looked beter that way. Sorry to sound negative hon- I always like some critique. There may be a few more shadows I can put in, but I've already sealed this picture- there's not alot more I could do to it That's why this one is a pot luck, and not an advanced crit ^^; I hope you're not offended cause I do normally want it...

I'm glad you liked the picture though hon

No problem!
No, I'm not offended, it's a finished work after all.^_^ I see now that your shading does look similar to the original picture. The poster itself looks very much like charcoal. And scanners are mean, they always swallow some of the blacks.><

Yeah- the picture is VERY grainy. A great effect for a poster cause it's like someone was stalking him and took a photo of him in action- not too cool for me trying to draw from it cause I had to guess alot of details

Yeah- my scanner not only lowered the blacks, but made a blue tinge. I balanced the hues out by making it a reder hue, but the face is still pretty blue. It looks alrihgt though, I'm goon a keep it like that rather than grey scaling it this time

Yeah, it'd be great to do a poster like this. I actually found a tutorial on making a movie poster. I found it on templatemonster.com. There are some really nice things there.

Oh- really? Do link it ^^ I'd be interested to see it

Ok! you can go to http://www.webdesign.org/?aff=TM
It's for webdesign but it can be useful fr alot of things.^^ Templatemonster is it's parent site http://www.templatemonster.com/
and it's mainly webdesign related.

Don't know which one it is, but its got some usefull tutorials on it ^^

Glad you could find something useful.

Don't worry- it's an espionage movie- history doesn't matter Seriously. The only continuity is Ethan and his sh@#ty luck with allies XD Go see MI3 right now!!! XD See all of them atleast once though- they all have goodness. MI1 was the best for plot- I liked MI3 best for the mind f@#$- that just was... Ooooohhhh.... So well done ^^ All of them are great- 1 and 3 are the best though ^^

*would lend 1 and 2 if I were American cause I own them...*

Don't worri about,
I live in Canada anyways.
Ahahahah.
I will do!

HAH! I donno about perfect, but it's one of my better pencil pics ^^ Yeah- the red button was on the poster, and he doesn't really look like he's holding onto anything without it so I put it in ^^ Thanks for the tips on it though ^^

You Have to have the Botton! Its like and unwritten rule. The pic has gone a long ways from the WIP pic so pat yourself on the back you did great!

*tries to pat self on back but has shoulder injury*

uhhh.... ^^;

ow>.<, good try though

Thanks ^^ Expression is a very important part of a human to me

Naugh- as much of an idiotic religion Scientology is, I like the character, so I'm not going to mock Tom for it. He plays a passionate roll when he's given a good script :nod: They used him in my facial expression how to book as the perfect example of anger. He's great ^^

I agree with you. He is a good actor. I hate scientology, though. Me and a buddy are making an RPG in visual basic about scientology. Funny stuff, but Tom can really pull off an action movie. And with the age Stallone and Schwartz have reached, there aren't that many able and familiar action movie guys left.

Apparently Tom is being ditched for Brad Pit as the next Mission Impossible agent. It sadens me Brad was great as a doofy agent, but I'm not keen on a mission Impossible movie with him. Then again, I couldn't see the current Bond pull it off till I drooled over the latest movie...

That's true. Casino Royale was excellent, except for the whole ball-busting torture scene...being a guy, that's some sick shit to have to go through. There's no way the fans will let them replace Tom in the next film. To have a series of 3 movies, then just suddenly change characters, just won't work. It worked for Bond 'cuz there was 20+ of those moviez. Don't know if it'll work here.

I donno- Tom has lost alot of credibility with his scientology, and Brad did well in Mr and Mrs Smith. It may happen

And yes- I'm a girl and the torture scene was a *little* too real for me too ^^; See, Die another day's torture scene was ornimental so I could tolerate it- that one was in your face. Busting up the cars broke a few of my friends hearts They did well ^^

Maybe it will... If it does, that's up to Hollywood. Oh well...

Oh, BTW, were you under the impression I didn't know you were female? Heh, after I originally joined bogusred.net, I though BogusRed was a guy... Oops.

Not really- it was more the point that I didn't have the bits and still found it twitchy. It's pretty obvious that I'm female after talking to me >.> I never saw BR as a guy, but that's mostly cause I found out about PD ages ago by ZMT, and she's in that as the "producer" ( LOL! ) Fablespinner was the one that confused me for a while. She acts blokey. It's obvious now though cause she has a beautiful style of art. Guys don't draw like that

Personally, I've never seen ZMT... But Fablespinner also confused me originally until I had a conversation with her, similar to the one we've been having. I had known your gender for a while, but shortly after you originally set the Tom Cruise as your avatar/pic thingy I was still under the impression you were male. Sorry...

^^; That's my fault I'm sorry. I've had a thing against openly displaying that I'm a female cause I use to be Dragon girl on mIRC and got hit on all the time, so now I try for more of a masculine tone. People tend to respect me more with a male avatar. Besides, I draw mostly men, so it suits me

Oh, really? That's pretty bad... Besides, most of the guys on mIRC are 30-something in a basement looking for FTP rooms. I've never been able to draw men. If you look through my gallery, nearly every character is female... That's sumthin I've been meaning to practice at.

I used to use mIRC a lot to connect to an Xbox modding service called xBins. They would often have virtually EVERY tool or homebrew game/app imaginable.

Correction- HORNEY 30 year old men. And the odd lesbian *rolls eyes* That was when I started using Arkillian- a creature from my world I created. It assures me that I always have the same name everwhere (except AIM apparently...)

I created a world, too... but the psychiatrist made it go away... But yeah,I don't understand the mentality behind lesbianism. Maybe a man did 'er wrong or something.
BTW, at least you don't have to worry about your name being taken! AIM had it taken? Someone probably saw your name on here or some other website and stole it... I was lucky that my XBOX LIVE gamertag wasn't taken...
War Squirrel. Is there a way to change your name on PD to somethin' else?

Ask BogusRed- if anyone can, she can

Naw... Susie's got enough on her plate right now trying to run the site for everyone else. I don't wanna bother her.

She's the only one that could do it. She's Admin. If you want it changed, then I suggest talking to her. If not, you'll just have to deal with it...

Well, if I get it changed, some people may not recognize me when I comment or message on PD, and think I'm one of those mIRC basement-guys.

>.> LOL! I'm not that good ^^; Shrinking does wonders for the minor stuff ^^ Thank you anyways I put alot of time into it- I think it was my first desent pic after my drawing hand came out of bracing

Thanks ^^ I wouldn't have got it athis level without people giving my critique though- I 'm really greatfull for all cri I get cause some things you just don't pick up on ^^

Thanks ^^ I put alot of hours into this picture, and I enjoyed every minute of it ^^ As fun as comeing up with something from scratch is, going into detail makes you sit there and think and it helps my normal art to do that once in a while ^^ I actually got crit on this one which helped ALOT, so there's big thanks to my commenters too ^^ I'm glad it turned out so well, cause even non-Tom fans can appreciate it ^^ :woot: Yays!!

*steam pile glomps*

FINALLY!! Someone that comments saying they LIKE Tom rather than they don't like Tom!! XD you don't know HOW many people says that they don't like him!! Me personally, Scientology is weird but I respect him as an actor alot. He has the most amazing expressions too ^^

Shading for me is what ever feels right for the texture I'm doing. If it's a cloth I'll cross hatch it, if its leather, I'll swirl it a little... wood textures are fun. Skin though, I tend to leave it roughish cause skin is rarely polish shiny and smooth.

I use to draw everything with a 9B pencil, cause I thought that all leads couldn't blend well, but I was told that proper graphite pencils will blend, so I primarily use HBs for base work and 3B/9B for shading (gotta be CAREFULL with 9Bs smudgy...)

Accuracy... um... I flip the picture over and hold it up to the light. It sounds stupid, but you see a heap of flaws if its the other way around. I was also very lucky, that alot of people gave me ACTUAL crit on this pic, and I realised his nose was wrong. When that was pointed out and corrected, it looked ALOT more Tomish ^^ I don't use grids- its really unfluid and weird. Alot of pros do I've noticed. Would be more usefull on large pics though- this is only A4.

Um yeah- Thank you for your comment ^^ I like to make art that people like

You sound like me then. Though I use a grid for the very very basic line art. The rest I just fill in. I usually don't make my gridding too small either. Bit big.
I find different ways of shading all the time as you do. I'm kind of stuck right now as I just started using different pencils. LOL I used to just use an HB mechanical pencil for everything. Now I'm all wild with the different pencils I use. LOL
You're welcome for the comment though, I do like Tom. I don't get into peoples private lives much, unless it's like Gackt. But Tom is handsome and I find it hard to believe someone would judge his looks on the way he lives his life. Strange, I don't normally make my assessment on people till I know them myself (or if they're a criminal...then it's kind of a given I don't like em). Heeh!
Kudos for this piece my new found friend. Can't wait to see more.

Pencil work? I try to do it as often as I can, but I'm busy, and its easy to get cause up onthe quick and easy linearts ^^; I MUCH prefure pencils to digetal colouring though. I just don't as much time to do it now days as I use to. I know I'll be definetly busy next month on getting another 10 pages out of "Final Sunset" (my comic) for the next comic convention. Wil be a challenge, but I think I've cut enough out of my social life to do it ^^ Tell me though- is griding difficult? I look at it and go "It looks clumsey" and it never really appealed.how do you find it?

No... griding isn't hard or clumsy. It's making extra light marks (with a ruler) on your reference and on your art paper so that you can break the drawing down into smaller parts to get the proportions and angles more correct in your drawing. I begin with griding to get the outline, and then erase it off completely (it's so light you can barely see it anyway) and then go from there. It's more helpful to me than anything else.

XD Maybe I'm just lazy. The most critical I do is directly comparing but I never trace- that loses the feel of the pic and I don't always WANT to follow the original completly Face shapes can be difficult but very characters specific. I don't do it often.

Thank you ^^ I spent alot of hours on it and I'm very proud of it ^^ I'm a BIG fan of Mission Impossible- currently going through the 1960s ones XD (In amonst other stuffs >.< ) I'm a big spy fan- it's so exciting ^^

I've actually never seen Mission Impossible, though it seems pretty cool
Spy stuff is awesome XD

Any of the Mission Imposibles? Oh I feel sorry for you :< Watch MI:3 first. Then MI:1. If you'll miss one out, miss 2. MI:2 was pretty lame in comparison. MI:1 was great for the breaking espionage scenes (cue- Tom dropping down on the rope from the ceiling), and MI:3 was very hostage, personal type movie with some mind games which was an awesome angle. MI:2 Was glorified, but not as good. I own all 3 in any case

I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to watch any of the mission movies
