[Mischeviouslittleelf]

It is really wierd how when you go into color, your stuff tends to seem a bit flat. Might wanna redo some colour theory stuff. Cool concepts though

[Bendragon]

Cool gestures and its good to see you continuing with some studies! Im trying to do more of that myself too

[timo.]

Very cool work, keep it up man!

[Ricardo Robles]

Mischeviouslittleelf thank you, definitely I have to study very much yet
Ben thanks dude!
Timo thank you very much!

[Morgado]

The pencils are awesome as usual!

However I think this last image pales in comparison to your other work

[KromNz]

Hola! muy buenos trabajos has subido!! Excelente!! Realmente me han sorprendido mucho el del portal en tu post #343 y el jinete del post #351
y este último, el rostro del peatón creo que describe el sentimiento de la imagen, jeje.
muchos saludos!

[fantasyartist]

Como te va Ricardo! I really enjoyed those last posts, especially elf on the mountain. I envy the way you handle colors. Keep up the great work!

[Ricardo Robles]

Thanks for the comments guys!
Morgado, Kromnz, Fantasyartist
More stuff, some speedies checking effects and brushes, color tests, and some illos.
see you soon, have a Happy Christmas!!

[Leo Ki]

Cool new concepts! Hambriento is really fightening.
In the latest it's not immediately obvious there's a dragon underneath the structure but maybe it should be clear in the context of a story?

[mariasun]

Really creative stuff, awesome sketchbook!

[Luckers]

Super awesome cool stuff
I must say this is a very inspiring sketchbook, after browsing through it for the first time
I hope to see a lot more from you in this sketchbook ^-^
Merry X-Mas!

[Dm7]

Wow a lot of creativity in here! I absolutely love your style and certainly will subscribe your sketchbook so that I can learn from you! Keep up the great work!

Merry Christmas!

[Ricardo Robles]

Hey thank you guys!
Leo thank you friend! Happy to see you there. You´re not the first person who tells me about this image, the dragon is not well explained here.. so definitely I ´ll make it pop up more. Yeah the story I invented for it, (cause lately all I do have a story, I supose it´s good ) talks about a mage who obtains power through enslaving a dragon and exploiting his body, cause of this has no wings and the image is turning more confuse... so thanks for the point Leo!
Mariasun thank you very much!!
Luckers, thank you man, don´t worry you´ll see more!
Dm 7 thank you for your words, if this stuff helps you to learn something here i´ll be happy.
Another abomination, and more coming.. all the body transformations are photo referenced, photos took by me. (i´m ruining some friend´s life)

[kingkostas]

wow these last things are really great mate.Lovely concepts
keep up

[Lotet]

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello mates!
Kingkostas thank you!!!
Lotet thank you very much, i´m on it!

[KromNz]

Hola!!
muy buenos trabajos si señor!!
Me fascino la abominacion!!!
Muchos saludos!

[MIKETAYLOR]

Joder tu si que le estas dando caña a esto!!!
Mirando mis propias paginas del sketchbook he visto un comentario tuyo y me he acordado que tenía todo esto muy abandonado por eso de que estuve centrado en el proyecto final de ilustración y las navidades. Ahora que ya he terminado el curso quería volver a ponerme con un plan de estudio artistico ... pero esta vez nose si será muy espartano. Cerrando mi mente hice mucho daño a la gente de mi alrededor y a mi mismo por lo que tengo un poco de miedo a volver al mismo estado de "obsesión" que tuve.
De todos modos nunca he desistido ni lo haré . El camino es largo!!
Me he estado fijando por cada una de las paginas de Algempfleger para ver como coño en 1 año consiguió llegar a ese nivel. Es un fiera.
Quiero conseguir ese trazo tan especial.
Bueno Ricardo, solo pasaba para saludarte y desearte un FELIZ AÑO NUEVO!!

[B-Man]

awesome stuff mate! you getting better with them colors! Inspiering!

[Leo Ki]

Hola Ricardo, your worlds are crazier and crazier each time Is there a story behind the latest one? I'd like to suggest you one thing: Select one of your worlds and refine it until it runs out of control and you end up riding it rather than leading it on foot. Maybe you did that already and I don't realize it.

[Nettle_Mountain]

Your digital are getting definitely better, maybe some life studies like in crimson daggers could help immensively.

Keep up the good work!

[Ricardo Robles]

Hello!
KromNZ gracias Míster!!jeje cual de ellas?
Miketaylor gracias por pasarte. Hombre ya sabes que ninguna obsesión es buena, no está mal ponerse un plan espartano pero ya sabes que hay otras cosas en la vida también de todas formas en ese proyecto del cómic que hiciste, me pareció sinceramente ver un gran avance en tu técnica. Seguro que, después de la asimilación gradual de ese plan "agresivo" habras notado una mejoría general. Saludos!
B-man thank you matey!
Leo Ki, thanks! yeah normally I skip ideas very rapidly. the best ones are making a line in the "waiting room" and actually i´m developing concrete ones, unfortunately i can´t change this crap way to organize myself I´ll show you some ended project soon. regards!
Nettle Mountain thanxs, yes i´m sure it would be good for advance. I do it from time to time, not much as I should. but these crimson daggers are doing great exercises no doubt.
varied works, chars (Team CHOW stuff), unfinished oil, some live studies.

[Leo Ki]

The water nymph is splendid, not just the character but the whole piece, the environment, the design of the weaponry... Is she part of the mysterious finished project you alluded to?
I'm jealeous of your ability to speed paint everything and anything and make it rock solid!

[Turbosnail]

Awesome SB Ricardo!! I love your style and especially like your still life work in post #383. Keep up the good work my friend!!

[Ricardo Robles]

Leo thank you. I´m in various projects but this nimph was only practice, like the most I post here hahaha nothing mysterious here, just some works-in-progress.. you´ll see...
Turbosnail thank you mate! keep working this way!

These are environmental practices, speedpaints the most except the last, I spent more time defining the ship, etc. Thanks Morgado for the brushes & tips

[latigid]

Thought i would check back in here and glad i did some superb characters in here loving the evil creature with rider #351 and also the twistedness of#374 really good stuff all round! Do you work in the industry at all?

[MIKETAYLOR]

Hola Ricardo.
Esas figuras deformes me apasionan. Me recuerda lo siniestro de las obras de Phill Hale de alguna manera. Yo tengo ganas de hacer algo del estilo pero el Oleo. a ver que sale
Un Saludo
