My my! The environments in this sb are just GOLDEN man! I really really like the mood on them and I disagree on the lacking storytelling thing. It might be me, but they tell me a lot!
Nice colours and contrasts and, the sketches are pretty tight too!

I would only suggest some statue studies cause, even if the whole thing rocks, the statues and rocks aren't that much believable to me.

On the character desings ( which are cool btw) I'd change a bit the proportions, alotught I don't know if they were intentional, they seem too elongated to me.

Anyhow man, keep up the AMAZING work! Cheers!

Nice! That last one is sweet. I liked the grey scale, but it looks so much better in color.
I should do more environment studies.

[anjin]

The render of the stones eagles is awesome in the last one. Great, you're always better!

[revenebo]

Suira thank you very much for your comments!! I'm still struggling with character design so proportions and anatomy can be off sometimes. About the statues and the rocks I should have used some references. That image was intended as a speedpaint but I always end up refining everything so some reference could be useful. The problem is that I'm too lazy...
Christoffer thank you!!
anjin thank you man!! When will you update your sb???

Some experimental sketches

[Odayga]

Loving your recent sketches! You have a very unique style and beautiful linework! keep it up!!

[Vulgar`]

Coolness, woolness and pencil bliss.

[revenebo]

Odayga Vulgar` thank you!!!!

I haven't been making exercise for a while, too much work and very bad time management...



My first attempts at studies from life on iPad...

[revenebo]

I like Salaryman's graphic style and fancy way of coloring images and I wanted to give it a try. I think it's really helpful for concentrating on mood and composition rather than on details and realism.





and a study from reference

[revenebo]

I bought an iPad at last!!! I really need it to make en plein air studies and still lifes. But I couldn't resist the urge to make a self portait...

[revenebo]

Some work I did for the Pray for Dark project... ( I highly suggest to check and support Pray for Dark on Kickstarter !!). These are all to various degrees paintovers on 3d models so I had little choices about poses and composition...

[revenebo]

Let's try the new attachment manager...



Edit: looks like the image manager automatically scaled it down... I opened it in another window and it shows at full res.

[Farvus]

That's great sketchbook. I like the design in the last one. Subscribed .

I also plan to try attachment manager soon.

[revenebo]

Hi Marek!!! Thank you very much!!

[Staal Sander]

Very nice work!

this one especially very appealing:

great use of color and atmosphere.

[revenebo]

Staal Sander thank you very much!!

Experiments with new image management: I repost the previous piece smaller...



(still too big maybe)

[AimBiZ]

Some great work in here. I enjoy the sketches the most actually. The latest image though has some pretty sweet perspective.

Environments seems definitely to be your strongest field. Characters needs more work but it's going in the right direction. Can't come up with much advice from my part at the moment to make this post useful. I'll follow this thread for sure and see if I can come up with something.

[revenebo]

AimBiZ thank you for the support man!!!

[Vulgar`]

Impressive updates rev! I like the way you did the structures in this one http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1348314721 They just look immaculate, very well done.

[revenebo]

Vulgar` thank you man!!! I hope to be more active in EoW for the coming months...

[revenebo]

An attempt at creature design...

[claytonbarton]

Fantastic environment designs. The abstract ones especially look quite unique.

[ICH]

Wow man, you rock more every day!

[revenebo]

claytonbarton, ICH thank you guys!!!!

I worked a little more on the environment above but I got bored...
I'm trying to sketch traditionally as much as possible in this period, I hope to find the time to scan some sketches.

[revenebo]

Sketch without sense...

[revenebo]

An exercise in costume design, reference use, details, lineart, etc.

[jhonshadow]

really awesome work in it! I hope to get at this level one day

[revenebo]

jhonshadow thank you!!

update for the image above... the awesome TheGnoll suggested to remove the helmet that hid the character's face and change those ridiculous ski boots into something else...

[Vulgar`]

Great improvements.

[AimBiZ]

Cool character. The sign bugs me though. It looks like it's attached close to the arms which would hinder movement. I'd get rid of it for practical reasons but you could make it more like a samurai banner with just one pole.
The new version is a lot better by the way. Good that you gave his calves more protection.

[ceddo]

Hey Revenebo, brilliant work you have here. I love the line quality in post 377, and the captain morgan character is so well thought out and executed! I also saw that you are coming to the London symposium, I look forward to meeting you there!

Cheers,
Cedric
