Good stuff, I've gotta do something like this, when I've finished my current sketchbook

**Hunger_Artist** · June 3rd, 2003, 06:00 PM

**Hunger_Artist** · June 17th, 2003, 12:55 PM

**Iiori** · June 17th, 2003, 11:44 PM

I like your work. Its different and I like different. ^^ Especially the Snake one. That one really caught my eye. Im sorry I cant crit you very much since Im not that experienced.

Keep posting.

**Hunger_Artist** · June 18th, 2003, 05:47 PM

Ive just rediscovered the default paint program for windows.. it forces you to work with a limited color set and tends to never lag your computer, so its very good for sketches:

after default sketch, went into PS for blending/filter/touchup

**Hunger_Artist** · June 23rd, 2003, 06:35 PM

more base p-brush to photoshop...

**Hunger_Artist** · June 25th, 2003, 10:31 AM

trying to add more atmosphere to my work...heres an hour study of my snake-archer d00d.

detail of init. sketch:

and then PS coloring machiavellian style (filters, curves, line tools, lighting effects used

)

then after about another hour of blending..

if anyone's interested, I can go more in-depth into what I do exactly..[

**buffaloe** · June 25th, 2003, 04:14 PM

Sure! I would love to hear more about your process! I'm always interested in seeing how other artists do things... usually you can pick up some new techniques to play with

I like the unique quality of your sketches... the line work, the colors, the brushy strokes... very nice!

**Hunger_Artist** · June 25th, 2003, 06:57 PM

thanks for the compliments. Right now I rely mostly on color and linework. about half the sketches here have been run through a lighting filter, which I think Im getting the hang of just now. I've made a quick tutorial of what Ive learned so far from experimenting...

I dont see filters as a crutch...just a tool to get the concept out more quickly. If anyone has any questions, PM me.

**buffaloe** · June 25th, 2003, 07:52 PM

hey, nice! Thanks for the tut

Yeah, I think filters can definately be a big help as long as you don't overuse them, and this looks nice... cool little trick, Hunger_Artist!

**Hunger_Artist** · June 26th, 2003, 07:04 PM

Painter 8....

first try...

second try...

I think im going to like this program

**Hunger_Artist** · June 28th, 2003, 05:24 PM

continuing to explore painter...first a sketch from while back that I tried coloring...

Next was a sketch done today.. the whole effort from sketch to painter to PS took probably a solid 4 hours

heres a sequence:

heres the finished ( I think) deal:

Im not sure if I should go back and fix the details and mabey try a hyper-realistic version...any comments and questions welcome!

**Hunger_Artist** · July 3rd, 2003, 08:03 PM

another painter test:

was starting this idea in painter, but got lazy and filtered it out in PS. may stiill go back though

detail:

once again I am very much a n00b, so any comments are welcome to help me improve...

**Iiori** · July 5th, 2003, 05:54 PM

Oo! I love the color on the last one. Very nice color scheme I believe.

I would keep working on coloring, you seem to have a great imagination and the more practice you get the better. ^^

**Hunger_Artist** · July 10th, 2003, 08:01 PM

thanks for the suggestions Iiori. These were both done today, and I tweaked them around in Photoshop to get their color 'n contrast...

1st, nuclear kitty:

then another idea: the gardner of Eden as a Robot

as always, comments are appriciated and questions welcome

**Hunger_Artist** · August 10th, 2003, 08:59 PM

**Hunger_Artist** · August 20th, 2003, 10:28 AM

criticism always welcome!

**Hunger_Artist** · August 21st, 2003, 06:33 PM

**Hunger_Artist** · August 30th, 2003, 02:36 PM

I realize alot of the stuff Ive been posting here hasnt been directly from my sketch-book...but as I get more confidence with my work Im going to start posting book stuff more often..heres a start:
