I've realised you're asking "critises" from the Team17 staff, but i fail to see how can these pics be classified as fanart.

You got talent, nonetheless... :rolleyes:

true not so much fan art

im just such a big fan of the worms artwork, and the games, humour, this site gave me the change to get some of my favourite artists to critique my work so I figured Id post

Fair enough. Nice to see someone who can draw posting for a change. I hope you get a reply.

I thought that skeleton was CG when I first saw it. Did you use a 3D package or something to pose it, or are you just that good?

To be honest Lydon, this is the wrong place for you. The art we have around here is worms fanart, this is some of the best drawing I've ever seen on the forum, but IMO drawing worms would not show off your abilities as well as they can be shown. Much of your skills lie in well drawn shapes and excellent complex shading, something worms, being simple shapes, often lack.

Try www.deviantart.com, if you aren't already a member. You'll fit right in, specify that you want critiques and you'll never be short of advice.

As for getting advice from T17 artists, if you stick around and make your intentions clear one of the staff might notice and pop a word in for you. Try making an animation, even if they dont respond we'll be able to help you some of the way.

W...W...Wha? That's absolutely superb! *drools*

I'm stunned. Seriously, that's absolutely fantastically brill! I'd never be able to draw anything like that ever, but that's probably because I'm too lazy to go to all that effort.

Keep it up, you'll go far.
Metal Alex
11 Dec 2006, 19:48
I suggest!

Do a worms-related pic, with effort and that, and post it here... That should work.

Also, the mother queen... the granny is supposed to be a weapon in worms, so give him a worms fanart chance :p

Just never visit their forums. Seriously. I'm usually bleeding out the ears with sarcasm (i.e. my posts earlier in this thread), but for the love of God do not visit the DA forums. Leave comments, receive comments, you'll have your own audience and plenty to discuss on the members' pages soon enough.

It just came to my mind... i think it's easier to bump into some Team17 staff while hanging inside a paperbox in some dirty alley than around this forum... not saying that the Team17 staff frequent paper boxes in dirty alleys, but they sure don't come here either... :p

I might be wrong, but since the official sites with the fanart of the month stop being updated, i don't think they come here that often...

Maybe if you were to send them an official e-mail about this. They may think about it and come here... :)
Preasure
12 Dec 2006, 17:05
Not really. T17 don't come onto the forums because they're busy, not because of the art. As talented as you are, any emails you send will probably just be treated as spam. You'd be better off looking for comments on DA, rather than hanging around here in the off chance you get noticed.

Very nice art, especially the colours on the skeleton thing. Just make more Worms art, and you just might be in the top 10 artists, but take this word from me, you only got off easy because of the decent posting and great art, but make a mistake, and you'll be done with SEVERELY. So that's it, welcome to the forums, but BEWARE!

Your art is damn good, Lyndon.
You already seem like a professional-grade artist, and are beyond most of our help.
The only criticisms I can give are the little things about individual pictures (I can see the construction lines on some pictures, for instance) that wouldn't really help you improve a whole lot.

You'd be much better off showing your work to people who really know how to criticize and help. I'm afraid that here (and on deviantart.com) you'll get nothing but people raving about how good you are. It's nice, but not really that helpful.

Unfortunately none of the Team17 staff seem to visit the fanart forums like they used to. If you really want the staff you see your art, you might want to try PM-ing one of them. (You'd probably be more likely to get a response than if you just e-mailed them.)

Luther here animated all ingame animation for Worms 3D, Worms Mayhem, Worms: OW and Lemmings PSP.

Replacing her as what, exactly?
As an artist?
That doesn't really make a lot of sense.
"I'm sorry, HK. You're really good, but Lyndon has replaced you as the good artist, so we'll just have to ignore you from now on."

It's not like we can have only one good artist to idolize at a time, people. The more the merrier.

I think he meant that since she is not around the forums almost never, Lyndon is her successor.

I'm guessing you mean the successor to the "current artist that everyone idolizes with much frothing" role.
Bah. It's still silly, because that would suggest that there can't be more than 2 good artists around at a time.

And to everyone: don't reply to this.
Seeing as Lyndon doesn't want this dumb argument that I started going on anymore.

The art is just great. And I (like everyone) really recomend DeviantArt, You want to be judged by some of your favourite artists? Well most of the best artists on this froum are on Deviant Art too, so that won't be a problem.

About the worm: I can't help but think that top row of teeth is a bit far forward.
