BUILT FOR CRIME - the big dump

Those are some tasty colours. I wasn't too sure about the owl at first, but the more I look at it the more it grows on me. Can't wait to see the others.

[jeremygordon89]

Your line drawings are looking incredible!
I'd say just keep practicing with the painting,
doing more studies and painting from mind

You're doing great!

[Rhoades]

Wow, amazing work! Those line drawings are off the hook! Keep up the good work

[~KJK~]

really neat style! love the screencap studies too, good work!

[ThomasM]

BOOM! these last couple of pieces were a huge level-up! That owl is seriously nice - great work on the claws and feet. - no crits from me just encouragement for this hard work!

[Lyno]

The landscape is nice, a good feeling of detail!

[JasonHickey]

Man you are amazing! your hard work is paying off so much. that's cool. really inspiring. Keep going. Stay in touch

[The Pariano]

Nice movie stills! Great style and line work in the more design orientated ones.

[mpaquin]

The astronaut doing laundry was awesome. I'm totally stealing your movie stills idea.

[LM.]

Great work! I especially love your line work (the astronaut in the lavatory is awesome). The red owl is relay good too.

[Yor]

yeah man those sketchs are awesome, you need to work a bit more on value maybe but the linework is just mindblowing. love it!

[matty_mcmullen]

Those landscapes are awesome, really good for 10 minutes especially. Maybe try some from imagination too instead of only photostudies.
