I have really been using this group of characters I am working on as therapy these past few months. This is something I've been working on for about a week now, in between busyness.
Heavily inspired by Billy Joel's "And So it Goes".
I am attempting a few new things here. Firstly, and most noticeably, I am using a pre-made background stock photo (from www.cgtextures.com). I thought it may add the grittiness I was searching for.
Secondly, I am trying to create a piece that tells a story with many details. It didn't start out that way, I was just doodling, but as I thought about it more, some of Makks' personality that I did not even know was there came to light, and it was a character flaw that I myself experience. Heh, so I feel I am finally getting to know this character a bit more.
I don't know if all the pieces fall together in the way I see them, but maybe they can be interpreted in many ways.

I agree that the CG background helps add a gritty feel - and I really enjoy the background that Makk is building!
The only things I would have changed, were I doing this myself: darker shading. If you're going for 'gritty' with the walls, then why is he lit up so brightly?

Awesome pic Mary it leaves the viewer asking so many questions well me anyway. He has a ticket in his paw and flowers. Why is he not at the show? Did he miss it or was he turn down by the one he loves? Again awesome pic Mary. Just to kinda piggy back on Amadameus it could be darker. My thing is, the light from the window. Its pouring down on him, but his shadow is on the wall I guess there is an unseen light source off the panel.
The poster is old and tattered, it's dated 1989. Likewise so are his pants. Torn with both knees out and the cuffs frazzled. The rain, flowers, ticket...it's something that obviously happened a long time ago. Or, more precisely, something that didn't happen...he didn't make it to the concert by virtue of the complete ticket, so didn't get a chance to talk to the one that meant so much to him. Most likely due to the arrogance of youth: she loves me, she'll never leave me. But love requires constant attention lest it whither on the vine before blooming. He never told her, so she left without knowing.
That's pretty gorgeous and I really dig the attention to detail - all that use of lighting, colours and texturing. The walking pose bugs me a bit. It's a little awkward as the legs are in the "up" position of a walk whereas the body looks to as though he should be bobbing down - so it seems out of balance.
I love it when people do more with their pictures than just a general pose of a character. I just see too many of those each and every day. Things like this do feel like a breath of fresh air.
Maybe people spend too much time doing pictures, in stead of thinking about them.

I like... never comment on art, because I'm horrible at putting my thoughts into words... but I can't not at least ATTEMPT on this on, Mary. o.o;;
Makes me feel bad for Makks...
Great detail...
Blah. ><
Like I said, I'm bad at this. D:
"Awesome job, Mary!" Just doesn't cut it, though. X3
Hope I made at least a LITTLE sense. X3
