[blazingdimensions]

some sick stuff loving the light rays and the cool rim/back lighting,badass creatures, for some reason what really stuck out to me is how you painted the Invincible girls face, its just awesome and has great character.lookin pro dude.every time i look at any of your work they make me think of smooth and buttery oils, i wish my paintings looked more like that, keep up the great work dude.theres never anything boring in your pics, always great brushstrokes and interesting areas to draw the eye.

[Elias Leonard]

Fallen.

Anyways a doodle - partially referenced.


And wips - no refs
Changed the pic a bit to strengthen the main focus point a bit. (the superhero on the right)

[sytrex]

Great stuff! I like how you dont ever leave out the background even in your studies. I need to work on that lol. Keep up the awesome work!

[Fallenangel]

Thank you very much

More stuff...i need to get a scanner...i've got dozens of pencil sketches hanging on my walls and nobody except my flat mates can see 'em..

April from TMNT...doodle...


Still wips...

Hi dude, nice sketchbook !!! One thing is concerning edge control, i thing you're going too hard on all the painting, and especially on girl's faces, that should have a smooth look. Same for the hair, that should be in general in soft edge, and some hard edges in the light to have a solid look ! Your hair are more looking like straw ! Here is a good link in case you don't know it ! ( and still a good reminder ! ) http://conceptart.org/forums/showthr...ips-and-Tricks ! Cheers and keep it up !

[Kungfoowiz]

Nice work, I'm really enjoying it =) Thanks =)

[Fallenangel]

kikindaface Thanks for the crit, i"ll try to pay more attention to it in the future.

Kungfoowiz Thanks mate


The finished version;


Doodling some different stuff...mostly playing with light and brushes...



Fallen.

Never give up..!!!

[chunkslayer]

your faces are great, do you use photo references or paint from mind?

Thank you ,
I usually don't use references - except the instances when i need/was asked, to make a specific look for the character...and even then i use the photos more as general guidelines.

Cheers,
Fallen.

I wonder how you would draw Mega Mindy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Mindy

And about Mega Mindy... i"ll try...why not...she looks fine enough

Here is the last update for today, i really gotta do some MatLab practice too... simply cause i suck in it...

Fallen.

[Kungfoowiz]

I like the doodling page =)

[Danny_K]

nice, try doing some portrait studies to improve your skin tones, I would love to see those nice pencil drawings of yours

[n1frit]

Cool cover man! Joy with your new work!

[Fallenangel]

Kungfoowiz Cheers mate

Danny_K Thanks man! I wish i could post my pencil sketches and studies...but i ain't got a scanner here...so i simply tape 'em on my room walls

n1frit Thanks mate, but these aren't real job covers...just some stuff for a "cover" portfolio that i''ll try to use to get some real jobs.


Anyways, had quite a lot of things on my mind these days...mostly my astrophysics uni course stuff...but finished this one.

Fallen.

[Kungfoowiz]

Great work on the last cover, skin tones are looking very nice and believable. Some feedback on your work, the text is a bit plain compared to your painting, you may want to spice it up a bit or integrate its colours into the painting there, maybe with some shadow or some kind of blend. And another pick, basically I'd introduce some gradient around the edge of the image to focus and hide less detailed parts a bit. Your call in any case. Good job.

[Fallenangel]

Cheers mate

I get what you mean about the title...yeah i suck at doing anything that is related to writing...even if it is on a computer...brr.
but i didn't understand the comment about the gradient, can you explain it please.


Been really lazy for the past week or so...new wip....

[Fallenangel]

Still only a wip...


Fallen.

[Rustveld]

You've been busy! Your girls are lovely as ever, I especially like the space saga one.
I have to apologize for flaking on the collab! I did work on it a bit but I got the winter flu a few weeks ago. It's proven to be quite the challenge but hopefully we can continue working on it.

[Fallenangel]

Cheers mate .
About the collab, no worries hope you feel better now, send me whatever you've got so far and i"ll try to push it a bit further.

Fallen.


Here is the final version.



and quite an old pic that i did for Outre Anthology, the theme was responsibility.
