Ok, just a small update, my contribution to the CHOW of this week, Saladin.

Final :

WIPS:

Strybjorn :

Thanks, here you are

Tom van der Linden : Thanks, yes the enviro is a bit too busy as you say. For the brushes, actually I use different brushes, But I always try to use brushes that gives a traditional feeling.
Often I put the Opacity to pen presure, and I put to dual brush (I prefere it to textures) Maybe because it gives a more traditional feeling

Dished : Thanks ! really like what you're doing lately

B-Man : Wow man really a huge compliment ! Thanks

Hey Mark,

Nice stuff, and gets better with every page.

The archer on page one is my fav. I like that the eye see the bright patch and then SURPRISE, i see the archer shortly before i get arrow right in the eyeball.

More please!

**Texahol** · August 27th, 2009, 05:30 PM

cool stuff man

I really like what you are doing with patterning things, especially in this one with the background, and jacket...and besides that, it's just really adorable hahaha

I hope she was pleased with it.
I know it's just a sketchbook, but I'd like to see you push the finish of your work to a more refined state. It seems like you could push most of these a bit further cleaning up a bit more, but maybe get bored/run out of time

and u should really do some studies of boots/shoes. Right now they are all looking like potato

**Swordhand** · August 27th, 2009, 06:07 PM

That yeti lumberjack is totally wicked. Keep rocking

**Joyvenn** · August 29th, 2009, 04:42 AM

Great production, great creatures. I'll see to post better comments next time.

**Giorge** · September 8th, 2009, 04:13 AM

great work is coming , i predict , from what i see , still you have some glitches here and there , for instance , the commanders hand , kinda lacks shadows and contrast , hands are important in a character , their the second thing a viewer looks at after the goes over the face , if the illustration/character is proper and something else doesn't distract him on the way , take care
