Rushing Artwork = Messed up Titties
Well, I got my entry completed for DJ Shwann's art contest on Deviantart. I found out about the contest late, and had to rush, so I got... well, let's just call it tunnel vision. That's what happens when your base image is five THOUSAND pixels wide an you can zoom in on a character's cuticle flaws. You lose sight of the big picture. For example, tits that looks like someone's rump.
Here's a before and after:
Really, wow, how did I miss that. I mean, the touch up isn't great, but the first 'set' really did look like the asscrack of a relatively hairless plumber all spilling out and causing nausea and mental anguish.
At least they're hairless, if they weren't I'd have much bigger problems.
Anyway, in my continuing attempts to not suck this has been a solid round of failure with a helping of introspection and humility to wash the bitterness and self loathing down.
Seriously though, they weren't even at the correct angle, they're all cockeyed and pointing the wrong way, as if she had a growth on her chest that was pressing them outwards and to her left. Like one of those cancer people with the hundred pound tumors. God damnit.
Anyhow, the character, DJ Goh Goh, is copyright of Shwann. I didn't design it, and I actually kept pretty close to the original outfit design too.
Not sure if I'll place or not, Shwann has a nice generous pack of awards for something like the top ten slots. He makes some pretty good techno type music, so check out his site if you're into that kind of thing. Maybe he can look past my failed ass-tits and take in the essence of the piece. :P
Well, this is what I get for not consulting boob experts (read: all of my nerdy friends) before I submit work.

I don't think the revised
I don't think the revised rack is too bad. Even the first one isn't entirely uncommon in art I've seen, although that's usually for physics and biology ignoring fanservice anyway. I suppose technically since we aren't given any real indication of her three-dimensional orientation in space it's possible she could have been oriented such that the original drawing would be feasible, but the presence of the background establishes a vertical plane and gives a sense of orientation that makes the original look a bit off.
In completely random otherness, here's a link to the superb little video for TMBG's "Science Is Real": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ty33v7UYYbw
Good Segue
Man I love me some TMBG. That's a wicked little video too :)
