**Me,Myself & Me again** · February 6th, 2009, 04:28 PM

spaztastic :-Thanx and i will look out for the head/body ratio's more often

And i hope to keep on improving!

**spaztastic** · February 6th, 2009, 04:37 PM

ooo I like the enviros very nice!

**Max Challie** · February 7th, 2009, 02:25 AM

The mountains look good, but the strokes look so rushed. Just slow down, take your time, do your best.

**Me,Myself & Me again** · February 8th, 2009, 05:38 PM

Max Challie ;- Took your advies but still could'nt exactly finish it lol. Thanx for the crit and advise, i think it came out allot better.
spaztastic ;- Thanx spaz.

**Janos** · February 8th, 2009, 05:43 PM

Wow, the mountains are a lot better, though some edges could be sharper. Generally your edges could be sharper, also in the carribean enviro.

**Moai** · February 8th, 2009, 09:52 PM

Nice colors in these studies, man. Very well observed.
You aren't using the color picker, are you?
As other have said, your mark making is what could be most improved in these pieces. Scribbly marks like in your mountains have a certain charm to them, especially in fairly quick and loose pieces, but you'll also want to figure out how to say a lot with a little, how to efficiently paint something so that texture and detail is suggested, but you don't paint every little detail. It's tough, though, and I'm not very good at it.

good stuff man, keep pushing it!

**Rushlord** · February 9th, 2009, 09:55 AM

Nice sketchbook. I think you are amazing when it comes to painting. Especially for your age. Keep it up man!

**the ANGRY filipino** · February 13th, 2009, 01:17 PM

Me Myself and Me again, its inspiring to see your dedication, and the improvement that results from it. Really digging your creature concepts!

**wookiedabo** · February 13th, 2009, 01:30 PM

that mountains study looks a lot better. And man, I love that octopus, great stuff.

**Me,Myself & Me again** · February 16th, 2009, 06:07 PM

Wow thats allot of comments for me!

Thanx guys and gals.

Janos - Thanx dude, from now on i'll use sharper edged brushes on my enviro studies.

Moai - Thanx matey for the visit. Extra thanx for the advice

and no colour picker was used in the making of these enviro's or infact any of my digital peices. I feel likes its cheating.

paperX - Thanx for the support dude.

Rushlord - Thanx dude hopefully i'll be as good digitally as i am traditionaly soon.

the ANGRY filipino - Thanx for the awesome post mate, glad your liking the thread.

wookiedabo - Thanx!

Now the replies are done, on to the work which is only one peice at the mo.
A W.I.P, thats all for the moment.

The contrast between the first page and the fifth page is amazing.

I love the painting of the beach. The color of the sand looks a little strange (not saturated enough, perhaps?).

**spaztastic** · February 17th, 2009, 10:54 PM

I am loving the enviros... I wish mine was as good....

I guess I have to get my bum in gear and practice some more of them. So have you been doing your life studies and what not?
also the newest creature ROCKS!!!!

**realitychek** · February 23rd, 2009, 05:42 PM

New creature=freaking amazing. Can't wait to see it finished

**maxetormer** · February 23rd, 2009, 07:03 PM

**Me,Myself & Me again** · February 27th, 2009, 06:56 PM

**realitychek** · February 27th, 2009, 08:01 PM

Yay! Finally an update

The bug creature is totally kick-ass, and the life studies are looking good- keep practicing and you can only get better

**L0rin** · March 1st, 2009, 10:50 AM

wohw, improvment from page one to page five is very noticable

would really like to see the bug-monster coloured, looking awsome so far

**michaeljared** · March 1st, 2009, 02:33 PM

the sketch books good, i can see a major improvement and its really great to see that. I see a similar style throughout the works, thats been referred as the "fuzzy bear" it sort of shows a timidness in drawing, doing lots of quick figure gestures (30-60) sec, long strokes, looking at what your drawing more then your drawing itself. Be bold, and confident, along with those look at angles and shapes. good luck in the future, keep it up.

**Vehkt** · March 2nd, 2009, 05:08 PM

I can't stop looking at that tropical beach environment up there. That's just awesome all over

.

**Me,Myself & Me again** · March 4th, 2009, 02:39 PM

Wow i am surprised at the amount of comments i've been getting alately

I must be getting better.

realitychek :- Thanx katie, hope you likes these studies aswell.

L0rin :- Thanx mate, i would also like to see the bug-monster coloured. I might work on it later when i have a bit more time to dedicate to it. Thanx for the post

michaeljared :- Your post was very helpful, i totally understand with what your saying ad will try even harder from now on to work the fuzzy bear outa my system.

Thanx again for the post

Vehkt :- Hmmm i think i should do another one then so you got more to stare at

Thanx for droppin by dude.

**Hayabusa** · March 4th, 2009, 02:59 PM

nice stuff! I really like the environments

**Me,Myself & Me again** · March 5th, 2009, 12:37 PM

Hayabusa :- Thanx for the comment and the visit! Much appreciated

Heres another acrylic painting, trying to loosen up ait more.

Did it on a nice big peice of card.

**Vehkt** · March 9th, 2009, 09:57 AM

Traditional mediums! Nice

Thinking back to such things in High School, I recall just how evul working with such things can be, but it looks like you have tamed the demon of the paint and in an awesome way too

**Me,Myself & Me again** · March 13th, 2009, 03:31 PM

Vehkt :- Traditional is more of my specialty.

Its also incredible fun cus you can get really messy and just say its creativity

Thanx for droppin by.

Heres the creature coloured

**the ANGRY filipino** · March 13th, 2009, 03:40 PM

Hello Me!
Nice work on the life studies!
I think it's wonderful that you are paying attention to traditional work as well.
one crit on the latest creature update is that his shell looks flat...
might need some more work on that area..
keep it up!

**Me,Myself & Me again** · March 14th, 2009, 07:59 PM

the ANGRY filipino :- Hey angry! Thanx for taking the time to look through me thread. I do love doing tradional work, i find it so much more relaxing than digital but then again diital does have its times aswell

I've had enough with that creature i have'nt got the inspiration i had for it anymore

sad i know. Thanx again for droppin by.

So heres 3 sketchbook pages some creature sketches and the last one is a page of gorrila studies trying to loosen my style up a bit more.

**AlexTooth** · March 14th, 2009, 08:20 PM

cool sketchbook! love your traditional paintings and poses. I think you will be a great digital artist too. For example if you spent more time on your environment studies, though they are still rather nice, be great to see some more refined ones

Keep it up!
