Great sketchbook! Too many favorites for me to comment on individually...but...love your characters and the playfulness/sense of humor in so many of your images.

It's cool the way you work with perspective...putting our eyes high, low...all around in your world!

Good schtuff! : )

[alesoun]

I know I don't comment much, but I do enjoy looking in here.

[oren90]

awasome work, give us an update to drool over

[Cameli]

Hey really cool style, faces and color!Love it

[Chate Noire]

Damn, I haven't been around in like a hundred billion years. First of all, thanks to everyone for all the great comments. Now here's some of the stuff I've done in the past year and a half; sorry for the crapload of images.

Illustrations for Wandering Men Studios, a gaming studio that produces a role-playing card game called Untold: http://untoldthegame.com/. I did several card illustrations for them:













Some sequential art practice. The first 4 pages are from an X-Men script by Mike Carrey (copyrights are obviously Marvel's), and the last one is a scene out of our D&D4 campaign:







A cover I drew for another Israeli comic book artist. I don't think it was published yet.



Some random personal stuff:









I'm currently working on a very long term comics project, and started a weekly illustration regime in my blog, to get me drawing and painting outside of said project. At first it was just to keep the blog alive, but now I'm really enjoying the weekly breaks and progress. Here are some of the highlights, and if you read Hebrew you can see all of them and more on my blog: http://www.avivor.com/blog






Paul the Octopus! Remember him?

(a guilty fangirl pleasure)











(For last week's EOW)

(For Darwin Day!)

Thanks for putting up with my lengthy absence,
Aviv

[Mr.Scribbles]

Nice man! Your one hard worker. Cheers.

[whisper_wm]

Great work! You handle many different styles, and I love your use of colors.
Your work also carries a lot of humor, making it a joy to browse through your art!

Very nice blog as well. I'm a little bummed I can't read Hebrew though...

[p sage]

Really nice work... I like the one with the red guy holding two daggers in today's update.

I just read through both of Chuck (patri)'s threads today, and noticed they haven't been followed up on since July '09... was going to bump the necro thread... but then saw this thread of yours.

Glorious sketchbook! You know how to give characters life. Really like the way you draw human faces.

[Chate Noire]

Mr. Scribbles - thanks =) Not working as hard as I should, but I try.
whisper_wm - thank you, that's a great compliment about the humor. Don't worry about the hebrew on the blog, I don't write too much anyway.
p sage - yeah, I decided to make somewhat of a comeback, inspired by some of the latest CHOWs mostly. It's a good community here.
Parasakoira - thanks! And I love your recent CHOW entries, really cool stuff.
oren - pretty sure I posted all of these on the blog as well at one point or another, but I'm glad you like them anyway.
Aryeh - this one's a sister, but glad to be here =)
FAST ART - thanks for the fiver! My linework is just the result of years of working with a Wacom after years of working with pencils, I guess.
LA-Fairy - thanks!
vineris - yup, I love me some British literature! And I actually like stumpy boots as well, it's a thing =)
Wingal - thanks, I like that one as well =)
buffichar - in the dusty corridors of rarely updated threads...but hopefully I'll update more often. Thanks!
MichaleMotion - thank you, and what a lovely thing to say!
kaktuzlime - wow, coming from you these are wonderful compliments. Your stuff inspires the hell out of me, no matter how many times I look at it. Thank you!
theUNKNOWNsketcher - thanks! Will do.
Yor - well, it's been piling up for a year or so =) Thank you!
samsonite - thank you very much. Giving characters life is something I really try to achieve, so I'm glad you see it.


New update includes some personal stuff for a couple of D&D campaigns, some pencil (!) sketches from some evening workshop and two CHOWs (God of Technology and Media and Post-Apocalyptic Paladin).
