nim's sketchbook

[nim]

Hardedge: thanks!! ..don't know quite what contour drawing is but there sure are alot of contours and not much else in this sketchbook x) needs more paint!
Tortuga: cheers dude! great success. I used to have stories for every drawing I made x)

failing at colouring previous one... I need to pause that and do something mroe simple. more (locally) monochromatic. hoping to do this one in colour!
stages: 

totally ripping off black frog's concept.. well well x) (mine's got antlers! so hah!)

[carakhan]

great stuff! I really like your lines, scribbly but well placed. Cant wait to follow this!

[Jove]

Gief us colors!

[nim]

ThinMint: thanks!
Jove: tomorrow (as in today: sunday) will work on on therianthrope guy and hopefully be done with lines before colouring! btw dark roasted blend did an article on that glass head fish with more photos and an awesome video! such a cool fish xD

btw: got around to do some scanning of overdue sketches and updated my pencil sketchbook over at ifx. still have loads of sketches I'd like to scan and put up... next lazy day perhaps

[Robert.B]

Nice lose lines with very clear control in them. I would suggest drawing more hands and feet. do a few studies here and there and it will increase the clarity in your forms.

[Fitzin]

I agree with jove, moar form and colour and planes - The thingys in the lines in your digi sketches.

[nim]

Robert.B: guilty as charged! always need more hand studies. thanks!!
Fitzin: I have all the good intent ;U promise colours soon! thanks for looking!

so yeah.. unbreakable habbits etc.. hope to colour later. joined DWIV aswell.. so needs to work on that instead really
oh yeah.. NSFW

[AlexTooth]

I love your drawings excellent sketchbook

[Jamie Romoser]

Awsome figure sketches are these from mind?

[a la bapsi]

dammit nimnimnimnimnimnimnim

[Pseudocognition]

Holyyy shieeettttt son this sketchbook is awesome. I would be honored to have hentai pornz of my characters drawn by you in the vague and distant future.

I can't decide whether to demand color or slobber all over your delicious lines. ohman. I love how you get some double duty internal lines working to define volume and suggest shadow. Ffffffuuuuuu NEEDMORE

[Dile_]

hot lines! i dig the last piece ! do more really cool talking to ya! haha

[nim]

AlexTooth: thanks!
OmertA: I ref alot! (but don't copy the poses/angles from ref which makes for more challange and learning!) and so should everyone! \/
a la bapsi: did you mom see you browsing lineart dickies, did she? did she?
Pseudocognition: super thankyou good madam for very upcheering praise! you young people will rule us old peoples socks pretty soon!
Dile_: cheers dude! and thanks a ton for the time you took to help me set up mogulus! ...the swedish subversive network is indeed growing steadilly and surreptitiously!

I did a 3D bust sculpt in zbrush for my brother for an opengl course assignment. will produce maps for low poly mesh next week for that and see how his parallax mapping works out (I keep finding things to do instead of DWIV... not into it this year for some reason :/)
blatant exhibitionism:



I'm almost as happy with the results of that matcap material too! it's in this folder on my dump as oxidised_05_nim.ZMT. there's also a turnaround video of this dude there which I did by stop motion lol OTL using pngshot which hijacks the print scrn key and saves as png on drive in user specified filename formatting and then optionally uploads it to an ftp server and copies url to the uploaded file in clipboard! AWESOME! >:U9
(xnview or irfan view ar good for batch processing like crop, resize, convert, rename etc) then I used virtualdubmod to make image sequence into xvid video.

[Jove]

Nice harem! Your grip on the human form is fantastic as always, not much I can help with there, You seem to be hiding almost all the hands in that piece though and the breasts of the woman in the top right seems a little to perky. Other then that perhaps you should try to vary the body types more, you seem to stick to one shape overall, keep posting and get your ass back on the DW train! Oh, and that z-brush head rocks!

[surrealitycheck]

Captain Sir Lady Nim;

As an envoy of the Bildeberger group I hereby come to pronounce your harem pretty SWEET. However, might I suggest making the facial type somewhat more Arabic, as it will heighten the harem impression?

[MacTire]

Wow! Great sketches nim! You really have a great knowledge of the human figure. Particularly liking the avian people sketches.

Keep up the great work!

[nim]

Jove: thanks, always good pointers from you did some minor stuff: bear-type jew added; boobies fixed! Young Master Eton: just suggestion! and then the eunuch servants and guards shall be persian, the so-fars are continental posh guests yaow! MacTire: Thanks!

using SAI.. I actually bugged the developer with a phony bug report about eraser switch using another tool than the ereser tool when I hadn't noticed the eraser is actually a second tool selecting ...thing so I only had to select the eraser while holding the eraser switch as he informed me... OTL... now I'm enjoying it immensely. no jagged lineart no matter zoom level when drawing (unlike ps). you stroke thin lines in 6% zoom or whatever, zoom in, and they're beautiful! and really nice and superior for line art in general :3 (stabilizer setting (lazy/tracy mouse) omgz inking..., vector layers (haven't really used yet.. seems really transparent and awesome). now if only the maker (one guy??) would implement PSCS-like brushes it'd kick sorry ass.


chinese dragons turned giant sky shrimp eels? they're to be chasing high altitude sky fish... they're bigger and fatter up there.

[Eugie]

Wow, beautiful work, that first group sketch is my fav. More plz!

[BillyDead]

Great stuff! Keep posting please, I wanna see more (:

[nim]

Eugie & BillyDead: thanks!
some neat picks from ifx sb which I'll discontinue.

(head scientist cibo from BLAME!)






and some new stuff.

I closed my eyes the other day and saw all the worlds alphabets in perplex design, layout, arabesques, clockworks, nigh unto perfection.
beauty is based on fractals I realised... was it something I ate?


bakuman. great read :U

NIM NIM INMNIMNIMNIMNIMNIMNIONJKMEGOIN;LGKFNKLJDankFJASD

i feel the need to remind you how much i love your lines

[Giorge]

ah damn dude , your line , your lines!!!

Like that porny scene , the look on that guy's face, its priceless

what does those numbers on your sketch pages represent?

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Neat lines thre, and also beautifull zbrush thingy there^^

-E

[nim]

a la barpsi: some complimentary extra lines for you: -----------------------------
Giorge: isn't he? great success. numbers are yymmdd
Mischeviouslittleelf: thanks!

so I gave up dominance war way in the beginning. did two quick sketches and suddenly had no motivation.



bought this beautiful 0.3 pentel and cut a hole in my bag to carry it safely without bending the nosle. tried it out:

was going to pick up my tactics rpg character collage piece and move it to SAI and redo all lines on vector layers but couldn't get it into SAI with my 2gb of RAM even at 5760x4800 (guess: SAI handles layers in memory less well than ps) so finally figured out a solution:

flattened with all masks off yet I can tell them all apart and it looks cheerful! (promise I'll do the hands first when I continue)

[Shadow Stalker]

I love this new update. Brilliant lines. I really like how you convey the human figure.

[Sopor+Aeternus]

dude, your lines are sweet, where do you get your refs?
and that course you are taking you should have took 8 years ago, is it biochemestry?
really love your z brush too

[Dile_]

wow just the thought of one day being able to even closely draw as good lines as you would keep me drawing forever man .. I love your linework. thats it... i love it.


/massive asspat

haha.. keep påsting ;D

[PieMonster]

Dude, your lines are pure awesome! Love how you do them, so clean! Really looking forward to seeing more.

[Giorge]

waw , I can't get over the fact that your lines are so so light , i barely see anything , and they are very nicely done , can't wait to see where are you going with that last one , if you have any plans for it.

cheers!

[Kfeeras]

awesome linework. but i'm sure you hear that every 15 or so seconds
