Art Attack Friday: DougSQ

Art Attack Friday: DougSQ photo

When I used to do my art stuff back in the day, I would only draw in black and white. I felt my work was best left without coloring. Plus, I sucked at applying colors. It just never felt right.

DougSQ has a ton of work at his deviantART page with most of it being all in black and white. There are a good handful of colored art pieces, but the coloring is mostly done by friends of his. Either way, both his styles of art are absolutely fantastic. 

It's so hard to choose my favorite piece from DougSQ. The above piece of Morrigan with Felicia is easily the sexiest of his work. I'm really digging the Viewtiful Joe piece as well. Which ones do you like?

For more of DougSQ's work, just check out his deviantART page. Be sure to read the comments on his colored images too so you can see more drawings from the artists that colored it.

I am all for boobies, they make everything better. Not bad, but I am all meh about it. Looks like typical comic stuff.

I like his art.
I usually hate the realistic style of drawings , but this one is actually nice.

Looks like he drew from photos/other drawings for a lot of these. And his skill with pencil and color is lacking. Not too impressive. Standard DeviantArt fare, really.

Also, tits.

Tits indeed.

They are quite nice though, even if most of the poses seem, what's the word, Mundane?

Eh, that's probably not the right word. Though most of his art seems to be the classic struggle of artistic integrity vs. Lack of direction.

I love this guy's style, the black and white stuff is really amazing. It has a certain "edge" to it. Also, the Morrigan/Felicia pic certainly is awesome. ;]

He's got some good stuff in there. Pit, The Metroids, Conker, that page full of random characters. Zelda. Good stuff.

Another creative spin from this artist, is that some of their artworks look like graffiti murals (which is very cool) I really wish more artists would show their talent like DougSQ does.

I was thinking the same thing Kalmah, I was really dissappointed.

But the rest of the art's pretty great.

Guy's got some potential but he's so mired in drawing wet dreams that it all comes off as very, very generic. Some facial details are quite good in a few of the examples but there are some really awkward anatomy/posing issues that need to be addressed (not talking about breasts) - especially if you're aiming for more realistic representations.

I think Mesoian put it quite well when he/she said that a lot of these drawings "lack direction."

I really dig the Conker, DMC, and Metroid black & white drawings.

After seeing that Pit pic I couldn't help myself from singing the Flash Gordon Theme.

I'd like to know how old he is, because if he's like 14 he's great. If he's entered his 20s he has a lot of practicing to do.

It's pretty average art, he's got the basics down but needs that extra push make it professional quality. I do, however, like how nearly every woman he draws either has her nipples showing or is nipping out. Classy.
