An illustration for a challenge "Winged Monkey", and some more poses. Tried once again to do all the Spartan Camp's 50 required poses...just 10 short! Female poses from Character Designs, and the cats are all from the awesome icanhascheezburger.

[D@niel]

Wow, that winged monkey piece is powerful!

[DanielC]

Nice work ^^ Looks like you're having a lot of fun doing those gestures ! Something i'd recommend is maybe a bit less lines and more focus on lineweight ? But that's really all i can say.
Keep it coming !

[kidult]

Nice monkey you got there!

[dariocoelho]

Wonderful monkey illustration! I recently fell in love with inked artworks and yours truly stand out.

And excellent studies! Makes me want to do some of those too... darn, what am i waiting for?

[jimmy'z]

i realy enjoing with yours drawings very good SB!

[Adrian Wilkins]

great gesture studies!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Cool comic stuff going down there, flying monkeys are a troublaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! *Being carried away by winged primates

[Janos]

Last post is really nice. The Cyclops looks nice, though the colouring seems a little too blurred. The golf character is nice and a lose reference to Disney animations without copying teh style.
I wanna see more posts!

Cheers

[Chate Noire]

D@niel - thanks a lot man
Josef K - Thanks!
hp - thank you, I'll try.
Peter - thanks a lot. Most people liked him Unfortunately I just gave up that challenge...lame. I hope I'll make the next one.
DanielC - thansk a lot man. It's a pleasure having you here. I'll definitely try thinking about line-weight instead of just throwing lines around next practice.
kidult - thanks!
dariocoelho - thank you very much. Go ahead and do studies! They're good for ya
jimmy'z - thanks a lot.
Hygami - thanks!
Mischeviouslittleelf - thank youuuuuuuuuu!
Janos - Thanks. I agree, the cyclops' coloring was going nowhere fast so I gave up on it. Thanks for dropping by!

Another couple of challenge entries, "The Last Word" and "Dream Catcher", and a quick "Happy Holiday" piece for my blog.

[Peter Berkovski]

yayyy great work Aviv, your ink stuff are ace! nice using of color and light in the dreamcatcher piece, this female spider looking good so far, somehow her head looks to me little bit small for that body keep sharing!
best wishes
Peter

[Josef K.]

[Quinn Simoes]

"Dream Catcher" is great! Love the character design.

Thanks for sharing.

[Jason Snair]

Hey Chate.

Thanks for the great crit on the CHOW thread. Appreciate it! Thought i'd stop by and see what you were up to.

I like your characters a lot. You have a pretty good range and depict a nice sense of weight to your characters, which I think is especially important with a slightly cartoony, animated style that you've gone for in some of your illustrations. Love those figure drawings.

I also dig your color schemes too.

Keep it up!

[Doudou]

I Like your posts, ur lines are really nice, and the poses sketches are really nice as well!

[sone_one]

i actually just came here to thank you for the crit on the chow(s)..

WOW... seriously your stuff rocks, love your style! no crit here, sorry.

[dirkvandulmen]

Just had a walk through your sketchbook, great stuff, I really like it, and thanks for the crit and the MD link. It's always interesting to read into anyone's process, especially when it's MD.
Solid stuff.
