oo nice hogarth studies man
reminds me to do more

**jackpot_anjr90** · January 7th, 2009, 07:51 PM

Nice digi and good studies!
I agree with what mave_le_monkey said though. The line connecting the fingers to the knuckles doesnt seem like they should be there...maybe that's what your refs looked like though so no worries.
You're really progressing. Keep it up!

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 9th, 2009, 08:59 AM

Oranje Joe: thanks for the crit! I'll work on the background!

Smashed_Pumpki: Thanks for the link mate

)

SamC: those are Dridgeman fists

but your absolutely right, gotta work on legs more

mariusz: thank you!

Lateman: ja klar warum nicht und danke!

mave_le_monkey: thanks man! Hmm..i shouldn't be doing studies on this tablet, it's worth 60€ at it's so darn crappy you wouldn't believe it! gotta get me a new one this sommer...thus my strokes are kinda wonky but!

TheGnoll: thanks a bunch

derriere: shouldn't just remind you

jackpot_anjr90: thank you man

I really appreciate your words

some studies, the pages with the rhino head girl and the sheet are a bit older

**RBeek** · January 9th, 2009, 09:06 AM

Fun to see im on the same page in bridgeman as you are XD

**Mischeviouslittleelf** · January 9th, 2009, 04:27 PM

Wow, fantastic bridgeman studies you got there, very nice muscle tension!

**SamC** · January 10th, 2009, 11:57 AM

It goes without saying but awesome stuff. Would be cool to see an enviro from you, or even a vehicle, don't stay too grounded to anatomy. Keep it up, (oh and yeah, you said on the first page of my sb you'd visit reguarly lol, i'm on page 8 now I think, pop over some time?) Cya

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 15th, 2009, 11:59 AM

SamC: thanks! you've probably noticed that I respond to your threat

studies of the last 2 days
schools kinda keepin me busy

**SamC** · January 15th, 2009, 01:51 PM

thats a hell of a lot of decent study for the last 2 days

**jackpot_anjr90** · January 15th, 2009, 07:48 PM

Studies from the last 2 days? That's a heck of a lot of studies man keep it up!

**alicelefay** · January 16th, 2009, 02:39 AM

really really cool studies!
What do you use as reference?
I mean for example the male figure hanging the "weapon" (and my english still sucks LOL) in different poses, it's really cool. I was wondering if it's all from imagination or what ^_^

**PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN** · January 16th, 2009, 04:14 AM

Great stuff on here man, those final renders on pg1 are just tops

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 16th, 2009, 06:37 PM

thanks guy's for commenting, those references are from my own body

have like 600 pics of me and my bro posing ^^

here's something new
kinda washed out, gonna polish it later

**bluemonika** · January 16th, 2009, 06:40 PM

the last picture looks cool

i wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley

**Bullsey** · January 16th, 2009, 07:13 PM

Polish it nao! plz! hehe, just kidding but do it!!

**Haal100** · January 16th, 2009, 07:45 PM

Your body studies are really great, the idea to take body references from himself is....slick :D
The last artwork is very nice, I like the perspective.
But in my oppinion...you should cut the left dark side out, I think this would look a little bit better...just a suggestion ... :P

...und danke für deinen Beitrag in meinem SB, würd mich freuen wenn du mal wieder rein schaust ^^

Good work > keep it up!

**brentos8** · January 16th, 2009, 07:52 PM

Nice stuff, it seems you have a pretty good sense of anatomy, my only criticism would be that your figures appear sort of flat and stiff at times, and might benefit from some live model studies. Other than that I like what I see.

my sketchbok:

**jackpot_anjr90** · January 16th, 2009, 10:56 PM

Studies using your own body... that's a unique idea. Your work is looking great! Can't wait to see your polished version of that latest picture!

**alicelefay** · January 17th, 2009, 02:59 AM

Great new stuff!!
Ah lucky you male!! lol
I have a lot of female references and no male ones...i should purpose a change! LOL (joking)

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 17th, 2009, 08:03 AM

bluemonika:

actually he's a nice guy xD

Bullsey: thanks

Thepico: I was thinking about doing that, maybe in the final piece

brentos8: thank you

i know what your talking about, and you're right gotta study more...

jackpot_anjr90: thanks

alicelefay:and viceversa you also could make use of your advantage

you could do the same for female pictures

somehow don'tlike where this is going, but well :/

**Pseudocognition** · January 17th, 2009, 08:13 AM

He's lookin much better now. I liked how bold the rose was before, though, it had a bit of a storytelling aspect to it...it added a bit of romance to the piece, beyond the bloodshed... but now it has faded into the background. Your choice, though!

Watch out for that shoulder area, it's lookin a bit scrawny.

**alicelefay** · January 17th, 2009, 11:51 AM

the light effect is really cool, and I don't find it so bad!

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 17th, 2009, 03:23 PM

thank you both for keeping me motivated!

fonna keep on working on this the next few hours

**jackpot_anjr90** · January 17th, 2009, 05:39 PM

Great progress! But from the angle in which the character is holding the sword, I don't think it would be covered in so much black. The part of the sword that isn't covered from the light by the character should stand out more due to the glare from the light...especially the blade.
Keep it up!

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 17th, 2009, 07:41 PM

took in the suggestion of both of you, thanks alot!

added some curtains tweaked some parts a bit
would be thankful for any crit..somethings bothering me but i can't put my finger on it

**kidult** · January 17th, 2009, 11:59 PM

Nice job so far - I think the issue might be that the top left corner is very bright and attracks your eyes after seeing the main dude, but theres not much there so my eye kinda leads out the pic. Maybe add more detail in the back or perhaps add some more cloth on the left. A few folds with a hint of light could be nice.
The perspective of the floor seems a bit off too, the stone pattern is making it look odd.
Great job on the amour! keep it up!

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 18th, 2009, 12:22 PM

Kidult: thanks, I'll concider that!

**wilkerson** · January 18th, 2009, 01:46 PM

hey, I think I commented on your DA or something.

The anatomy sudies are top notch. Really I'm jealous of you precision. http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/2...ystudy3jh1.jpg
OCD much?

just kidding, I admire the discipline.
The only thing I'd suggest is do more paintings and I'd to see what you can do with vehicles or mech stuff.

Great book.

**yinteck** · January 19th, 2009, 08:36 AM

Great sketchbook ! What i like the most is how you draw your character face and how u play with the lightning. One crit is you need yo loosen your character a bit, some of them look smooth but some look a bit stiff.
Thanks for dropping by at my sb and keep those study up.

**Adrian Wilkins** · January 19th, 2009, 08:06 PM

wilkerson and yinteck thank you very very much!!

so i kept working on this one

sorry for the monotony of the last few posts

it's not finished but i hope you still enjoy
