Sketchbook 2011-!!!2011 HERE we go (page 91 COLOSSAL UPDATE) :) --->

[kingkostas]

yoooo everyone whats up!!!! You are all evolving quickly!!!! I am back home for some days to see the family and then i am going back down.
I am in the greek army of Cyprus and the training covers the most hours of the day, but i try to sketch something in some really small assbooks but not that much, and i didnt carry them with me to scan them. I hope that after 2 more months, things will be looser and i will be able to do more things, but right now, there is no free time other than sleep time. I still have 6-7 months till the end of the service so i will be patient and gather as much experience as i can.

Thank you all very much for supporting me even when i am absent like that. There are a lot of things i want to do when i come back and i cant wait to draw 2312893129381 hours a day. Now i have to relax my body for some days and keep up the service.
I picked the tablet and did something quick here and there.
i know there are the same mistakes in these but consider them more as expressive works to feed my need to draw something hehehehe

Lets all keep up learning things!!!! miss you all.

[teapo]

these pieces definitely pass as 'expressive' works as you mentioned. 6-7 more months to go?? aahh.. well i'm sure you are picking up a lot of inspiration on your training AND some good reference to incorporate into your works so you are still learning either way in/out of drawing. knowing you barely have the time to post, i'm already going to miss updates D':

okay-- stay strong and good luck bro!

[Velocity Kendall]

miss you too KK!
the longships image is pure dope

[Trixtar]

Amazing stuff!

[p sage]

"keep up" when you can, mate See you in a few months.

[zou]

Hiya dude
sure it will be a rich experience doing the army . i'm near doing it too

anyway you drawing skill are always at top even in a rush

take care

[Kuddlekins]

I've been inspired!


Thanks for posting your stuff! Can't wait to see more

[MacTire]

Beautiful work Kostas!
Good to hear you're not completely cut off from your art. I especially like the environments here, really nice texture on the rock in the first image.

Looking forward to your next update, whenever that may be!

[Rotor]

Man oh man it's great to see an update from you.
Hope you're doing good, take it easy in the force.

Keep it up mate!

[Biomecha_wolf]

hold on tight buddy there. I am joining as well too soon :/


amazing work is amazing!

Always surprises me which countries still have mandatory military service.
Good luck with your training.

Boosting the saturation of a photo is an interesting approach that's never occurred to me before, will have to try it.
The desert enviro is sick, the rock face is totally solid and so is the ground. I think rendering a convincing floor surface in a natural environment is one of those things that are taken for granted but are actually quite difficult.

[p sage]

Great looking stuff in here! You have some good spacial structure work going on in your sketches. Your characters really seem to be filling the spaces as opposed to sitting in front of them. I will keep checking back.

Another phishing bot.

(It might be good for everyone to add 'removed' to your hosts file.)

[reme]

nice stuff! i am also doing my military service, 20 months more to go D:

[Sebastian Gromann]

digging the 'new' dynamic in your latest environments. now, i'm impatient again to see what you'll come up with next

[kingkostas]

Mates thank you all very much. Still things are tight here because we are still having training, but soon (near the end of february) things will get a lot looser cause newbies are getting in for training and we are simply doing service, so we have more time.
For now i just want to try something on the days i will have some hours out of the camp.
I will draw some random bullshit stuff with the mouse in some online broswer paint programms.

Thats for now. thank you all for the support!!!

Reme 20 months are to much mate, hope you find a rythm to pass them easier psycologicaly.

Of course i am sorry for not commenting separately but after i finish with army i will come back and comment and crit to everyone.


See ya mates

[DefiledVisions]

so tasty..

[Vablo]

Damn man, some too awesome stuff here... Love your brushwork and the use of colours, intense!
I'm too stunned and just-woke-up-tired to say anything constructive at the moment, just keep it up and keep making us amazed.

[GEB]

Damn what kinda brush do you do that energy stuff with?

[kingkostas]

Thanks for the supportive comments mates!!!!
Geb i have posted the link to the online programm that simulates that effect. Its just an online application that lets you sketch with that effect.

Anyway here something done with mouse in a net cafe
Dont have time to do much, still doing training.

lets all keep up

[VirgL]

dude.. your getting freakin good

[Nibras]

Soooooooooooooooooooo good as always! Not even got a crit. You're the man

[Biomecha_wolf]

Hey Kingkosta! I still cant believe you made that with only one mouse hehe. Cant wait for your army-scans

[Koto]

Looking forward to an update! I love those quick enviros, filled with great texture and detail.

[Seraph Fawkes]

Dude it's nice, that you get some time to paint and practice, even in the army. Gladly, I'm off the hook from army stuff, but here in vodkaland you wouldn't have that chance.
Keep it cool!

[Cameli]
