whoa. (good whoa) I dig your gestures, i feel the motion as well as accurate as possible, and with a sense of light with your light and dark lines, thats what I'm striving for! as for your paintings, definitely awesome, love the textures you put into them. the enviros are great!

**DStraX** · March 23rd, 2009, 01:08 PM

Glad to see you made a sketchthread! Your enviros are breathtaking, got a full folder of them so I can study them, real beauty there. It's also nice seeing something else from you, those gesture have so much power to them, really good stuff. 5 stars from me!

jermonster , DStraX , Braintree , AsaB : Thanks Folks.

A couple more life drawing gestures from yesterday evening

Probably not that successful, but we all have on and off days. Also its been a couple weeks since I had a female model. Hopefully they will start to pull together a bit more over the next few sessions.

SO here we go 1 to 10 min gestures

Also a little bit of a WIP Enviroment I will post the finished version this evening if I am not tired to finish it after work.

**RBeek** · March 25th, 2009, 07:58 AM

woow awsome stuff!
So much rythm in those sketches i could almost start dancing

u rock! KEEP IT UP!

**Cyberman** · March 25th, 2009, 11:55 AM

**Miaow** · March 25th, 2009, 04:01 PM

Loving the forms that come through the gestures

**Ethically Challenged** · March 25th, 2009, 04:08 PM

Nice work man!

**Gaius** · March 25th, 2009, 07:31 PM

Almost Fin

Temple of Courage

Too tired to finish it completely this evening.

A little sketchover to show what I am planning to do it with it.

**Vulgar`** · March 26th, 2009, 10:23 PM

The leviathan of the EOW finally shows his underbelly. I like the way you always sneak in those symbolic white bird flocks of freedom - they help intensify the largeness of scale and just increase the overall beauty of the presentation. Anyways, long live birds and long live this sketchbook.

Keep doing you

**Tersus** · March 26th, 2009, 11:14 PM

Wow that one environment only took 2 hours? That's impressive! Atleast from my perspective. I really like your style keep it up!

**IanE** · March 26th, 2009, 11:21 PM

YESSSS!!!

Glorious amazingness! The Home environment is especially wonderful. I'd love to see a process or tutorial video from you someday.

**Gaius** · March 30th, 2009, 04:52 PM

The Temple of Courage

Deep in the heart of the Dark Continent is the Temple of courage.
Valiant Knights journey to the temple to prove thier worthiness within its walls. Facing many trials only the most courageous of warriors will survive the temple and cross the bridge to begin thier journey home.

I am not happy with this, but a few things learnt, onwards and upwards as they say.

**MacTire** · March 30th, 2009, 05:11 PM

Very nice Gaius! Great work on the life drawing and the pogress on that enviro is great. Keep it up!

**Gaius** · April 6th, 2009, 05:44 PM

Vulgar` Leviathan? I dont think so, but thanks.
darknight Practice Practice, I have a long way to go yet.
Thanks for all your comments

Cavern Flight Deck
I had a quiet sunday and I spent an enjoyable day painting this image.
The lighting is a little inspired by The Hudson river school painters who I greatly admire.

**Icecold** · April 6th, 2009, 06:14 PM

Awesome stuff you've got here, even tho i'm a beginner i'll let myself crit one thing (hope u wont hate me for that :] ) The Lion statues are turned too much to the right, to fix that i would turn them more towards viewer, or turn the huge lionface sculpted in the mountain more like you did it with lion statues,
Best wishes, ICE
