Live for nothing or Draw for something...

[Black Spot]

I hope they can stop your eye getting any worse. I have posterior uveitis in both eyes, which can lead to blindness but can take 50 years to develop. I have so many floaters in mine, I'm surprised I can work let alone paint - they could suck out all the juice from my eyes and fill them with gas to get rid of them, but I'm passing on that for the moment.

[Joe777k7]

Perspective mayhem!!!!!!!Awesome!!!!!!!!!! Sketches are looking fun and full of life as usual!!!!!!! I wanna see some finished work again like the legless Babe!!! Must have it!!!! Its a fix need fixed,,,,or something

[kamikazel33t]

I am liking your dedication to perspective studies and the angle is sweet just as somebody said. I was just wondering how you don't get a head ache from perspective lines and stuff? I have this phobia of perspective studies which give me those darn weird headaches whenever I have to work with those perspective lines, it's like doing math .

[LtPlissken]

BlackDelphin; I am happy that you like it, thank you my dear
LionHeart; kicks glutteus maximus, that sounds cool haha, I will
draw more just like the hobbo for the burger haha thanks
BlackSpot; I hope to the best, I don’t want to give up drawing.
Sad to hear that you have posterior uvetitis, first time I hear about that,
but it’s good news that it needs that much time to develop. And sucking
out the juice of the eyes? wow, that sounds nasty, you are right, better
don’t do it if you don’t have to. Thank you for the visit and for the
encouraging words.
Joe; You are the perspective master, remember that, I am just trying to
follow. Finished works will be in the near future, I honestly hope, thank
you for visiting and for encouraging.
kamikaze; at the start, perspective was bugging me also, and I did get headaches
from it, it’s just like a math problem, but after time as you do it more and more
it will come easier, and you will understand things more. So the secret is to
do more and more. Thank you for the kind words and for the visit. Cheers.

I was working more on the Guardian Angel, adding more color layers
and detailing it a bit more. Sorry for bombing you again with this,
but I think that is finished now, so no more of the sight of this
nasty little creature. Want to thank Caspia, cause she's the one
who started the initial sketch on this one.
Her sketchbook link; LINK
Oh, and why the 540KB upload limit on the attached files?
I was trying to upload a mega giga high resolution and quality last one haha.

[shiNIN]

I'm so sorry to hear about your eye! I really hope it can get better somehow but anyway, I don't think it can prevent you from becoming great. There are much more important factors and determined people can do miracles. Your spirit always seemed to be pretty good and you did steps in the right direction. So don't lose heart! We here are rooting for you as well! I wish the best for you.

[LtPlissken]

ShiNin; so good to see you back, thank you for the kind words and for everything,

[Jr.Molcak]

You kept on giving encouragement and good advices around here during your hard-knock days... Man, have to tell you that you are strong so you're going to make it! Looking forward for new updates.

[braineater]

now these are some awesome perspectives (i wish i could do it that good). also glad to see your painting again since i like it so much.
and cool motorbikes you got there. wanna mix anatomy with bikes ? check this
anyway, keep drawing. "more and more. and more"

[bbwolf]

sorry mate i missed a lot of updates. I was busy and somehow my notifications do not work anymore, I´ll drop by again. Keep it up and don´t let life get to you. You gotta take and throttle it for all its worth

[Lav]

Hey LtPlissken, I see you're still kicking ass and taking names! You're def improving, i like the last painting Keep up the good work!

[Lightship69]

Ahh The Thing! that is one of my all time favourite movies, and I cant tell you how many times that I have wanted to do that to some of my computers.

I am really, really sorry about the eye issue mate, that sucks big time!

Are there any stars in the industry with only one good eye you ask? answer is simple mate yes!! go look in the mirror.

Now suck it up and go reach for your dreams, we will be behind you all the way and catch you when you fall, and one of these days I will come and visit for a week and teach you how to drink beer and whiskey until you can see oblivion on the horizon and see the depths of your own soul or glass whichever is easier!!

all the very best and indeed may the force be with you always!!

[warburton]

Hey man, it's been a while. My apologises for such a long interval -______-
Its awesome to see your still hammering away and regularly updating with your work. The latest piece is looking awesome too, it makes me happy to see your progressing with your work.

[DSmith]

Hey man, just checking in! I'm back for good(hopefully), so I thought I'd give a heads up. Haven't had time to check what you've been up to in the last year or so, but I'll definitely take a look tomorrow! That angel there looks stunning, I love the concept, what's the idea behind it?

I'll check back tomorrow!
Cheers dude!

[Wingal]

Not my cup of tea (its so creepy =S ) but that angel looks GREAT!!! I dont like the limits on upload size either =/.

[Freshfool]

Hey, i just looked through your sketchbook and the improvement is really great you've come a long way, and that angel painting is awesome! keep it up man!

[sin eater]

Hey man. Love the polished battle angel. She looks awesome.

And about my classmate, he was having a tough time and even lost his job at a studio because of his condition. Those people at the studios suck. But he din't give up and he kept trying for different studios. Since he is into 3d modelling he got into an architecture based studio. Now he is working there and doing his best.

Please dont give up hope my friend. JUst push through.

[lionheartGFX]

that last piece is one of my faves from you so far, keep up this pace, i know its hard because of your eye but im sure you can manage, also reference some artist from time to time, its good for the creative juice also you learn alot how others do different textures and subjects

[kamikazel33t]

Just keep hacking at it, I am seeing nothing but progress. For some suggestions you can open up to some different subjects work more on building the visual library as well as the technical skill, and for some fun try mashing the different subject matter together. Victorian era looking fauna with cybernetic technology anybody? xD well just have fun and play with different stuff you can even be random as long as you introduce combination of different subject matter. I can see nothing but fun coming out of that especially from you.

[Shahan]

Hey I lurk at this Sketchbook, needless to say it is awesome, I don't think anyone in this section works harder than you. Made this recently thought you may enjoy it...

(coorected spelling of foxdie)

[DSmith]

Crazy amount of work here dude, I wish I had more time to see it all...my progress is slow, but I'll catch up with your work! You are very dedicated, and I love that. I really dig your crazy ideas too, you seem to achieve the artistic freedom and creativity that I'm pursuing!
On the advice side, I suggest watching your linework, and line weights, maybe cleaning your drawings up a bit more could really make your artwork pop. Just a suggestion.
Anyways, I'll be back soon, keep on drawing till you drop dead!

[qlotzan]

Automotive... Auto motion. I like this motorcycle's study awesome
you get better and better in sketching process. Have you ever try
to draw cars or airplanes, If not can you work on it in your next
artwork study " I just imagine how its looks like , Gang-star girl
play rude on the front of the car LOL " . why not you can do it.
because you are the sex master drawing .

keep it up my friend

qlotzan

[qlotzan]

[Jmob]

keep going at it man, seeing lots of progress in looking back at your older drawings. you've got dis.

[Ixallus]

Guten Tag LP

I see you have your followers delivering "inspiration" to you in the form of beautiful women. I shall follow suit and share with you a passion of mine, which is ink on beautiful women, hopefully this gives you inspiration.

[Lightship69]

Hi buddy

You have not said anything in a while! so I can only assume that you are in tears from the out pouring of love and affection from all your online admirers and freinds. Either that or you are camping near the fridge because the beer truck has delivered!! lol

Stay well and post soon old chap I miss your view of the world and you know how lonely I get. LOL

all my very best to you my mate.

[Ramalooke]

Hi there Snake. Sorry for visiting you so rarely. Those are really busy times. Been around here for a while now and almost everyone I used to follow on conceptart give up on drawing or left this forum. That's why my joy of seeing you hammering is even bigger. Like I can't even imagine CA.org without this eyepatched avatar of yours Keep pushing.

Oh and I'm sorry to hear about your eye. But I can say only:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...8u0j08gU#t=20s

So keep nailing it and I hope to see you around for next two years Cheers

[denzalan]

i love the saying "stay true" and the ink seems nice and crisp.

[LtPlissken]

Replies;

Juraj; Thank you for the words of encouragement. Let’s make things work out
somehow, and let’s conquer some more new grounds.

Svenja; not really hardworking, but it’s cool to hear that. Thank you for your
sweet kindness once again.

Wolf; good to know that you are here buddy, thank you for the visit

Lav; where have you been all this time?
we are really worried about you, you know?
And you still wont share with us anything new?

Graham; drink alot and not think and worry alot, that is what we need now. Drink
ourselves up to oblivion. Our precious wishes and goals are ahead of us, we just
need to reach out and to grab them. Grab them hard. Our souls are hovering over
the neverending seas and oceans of this earth, our mind is free as a cosmic bird.
We should never go down, we should never fear of our makers and creators.
Every sunrise is a new hope and is a new gift. Thank you for the encouragement,
and for not letting me to hit the ground.

Warburton; no worries my friend, the most important thing is that you are here now,
thank you very much for your kind words of motivation.

DSmith; back for good is what you are, and I am really happy about that,
thank you for bringing back the hope and resurrecting some pieces of the old spirit.

Wingal; thank you for the visit and for the kind words dear

Freshfool; Thank you very much, hope you are doing your daily studies yourself

SinEater; Good to hear positive things about your mate, he is still able to work
and to bring the future on. The key is not giving up, I think we will go stronger
and braver after the early storm passes by. Thank you for being here and for
helping me all the time.

LionHeart; good idea, referencing some other artists, thank you for the suggestion,
support and of course for the visit

Kamikaze; Hacking is what we will do, and slashing we will go all around. I am
trying to draw some referenced things from different subjects, as I could evolve
my visual and mind library, I am doing that, and I will threw out some new
modified things in the future I hope. Thank you for the encouragement and
for your time invested into helping me.

Shahan; hello there, I am very happy that you shared this GIF animation with
me, I like it very much. I am not sure who are the gentleman standing and
sitting but I suppose they are also artists. Thank you once more for you
kindness and for your supportive thoughts. However, I think I am not a
hard worker as you think, I am far from a hard worker, actually I am pretty
lazy lately.

DSmith; Hello again, thank you for dedicating the time to come here multiple
times and to review into more details my work, I really appreciate that. I always
had crazy and twisted ideas, but I am still suffering to represent them in the
fashion I should really want. There is still a long road ahead of us, lets go
down that path together and let’s makes some miracles. Good to have you back,
we are stronger like this and our motivational power is rising day by day.

Rafid;Caaaars and feeeemaaaless, yeees, actually I am not too mad about cars,
but I definitely like hot sexy females. You remember that car from Mad Max,
the Interceptor? That was an awesome post apocalyptic like looking car. I will
try to draw and maybe paint some cars in the future, but those damn ellipses and
circles in perspective, they still gave me headaches. Thank you for being a true
friend all the time, and thank you for these beautiful pictures of cars and girls of course.
Take care and be good, I was following your SB on a regular basis and I can see that
there is some true magic happening there lately.

Jmob; Hello and welcome, thank you very much, glad that you see
progress and that you see some positiveness near me, I am glad that you came
and left a reply.

Ixallus; keewl tattoo females, all water around my mouth, they
can do miracles I suppose, thank you for this beautiful motivation

Graham; there are a lot of friends all around, and we are getting back into
the old shape, remember when we went full power with the updates and the
work habit. Looks like it’s coming again, those beautiful times are coming back,
thank to you and to our good ol friends. I am not camping near the fridge, cause
it’s too cold, I rather heat my beers up lately. And I will disappoint you now, cause
I have to tell you that I drastically reduced my beer intake. 3 bottles a day only.
I know, do not despise me, I will get back the old 6 or seven for the summer I hope.
Thank you for the good words and for everything mate.

Ram; everyone is giving up, read my discussion below about it, I think there
is a problem why people are leaving, but still not sure why. I do not want to
leave, this place is too cool for leaving. We evolved too much here. We
should keep the spartan attitude. Even eyeless, handless or whatever ness.
It’s hard but we should fight for what we love and in what we believe.
You said that you will update more frequently, so I am happy about it,
thank you for the words. means much, just as always.

denzalan;
Stay true indeed, nice words, thank you for the visit.


---sorry if I forgot to answer to some-one, and sorry
if I didn’t visited your sketchbook back yet, I intend to
in the near future----
I am getting older, and I make more typing and grammar mistakes,
so sad so true. Forgive on these lesser or minor mistakes friends.

Rant and empty talk[Skip if possible] ;
After the update of conceptart.org, there was pretty much a hiatus, and lots
of them went inactive, including myself. But some time has passed now, and
things started to fall into their place. More and more members are here, and there
are more frequent updates and replies. I am very happy about it. Feels close to a
home arrival after some long absence. The feeling when you are too long out in
the winter frosty desert, and then you come back to your warm home village
full of sparkling camp fires and friendly faces. So once again we have set up the
tents, we swept the dust from the training grounds, and we are ready to go into
the great unknown. Conquer new grounds, reveal and acquire new skills.
As I go through the sketchbook section, I saw lots of newcomers and
freshly started sketchbooks. The reality is that ninety percent of these
newly opened sketchbooks will not last till the end of the next month. Or
if I think twice till the end of this month. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t find this
fun, nor I am saying this because I feel good about it. On the contraire, I feel
very very bad, cause there is something that makes people to join, start
sharing and then suddenly go disappear. This scenario is happening over and
over again, from years back most probably. Two questions came up in my mind.
First is, why are these sketchbooks go abandoned so soon,
and second, what happens to these sketchbooks? Could people leave off cause they
don’t get any attention, like replies and feedbacks, or they just get frustrated and
disappointed with not seeing their own improvements? And after for when example
someone’s ten post long sketchbook got abandoned, does it floats in cyber space,
all the time till conceptart.org exists or does the admins delete it after a while?
Just thinking about these things, wondering. Oh, and of course it’s a shame when
they give up and they never come back. Running a blog or your own webspace is
far from what this community offers. I mean, I can keep my blog alive, but no one
will visit there and exchange their thoughts, and the same is that I don’t go to other
blogs and share any of my opinion. It’s just the way it is. A community like this is
necessary for a wider circle of people from different areas of the world, to
communicate and share their experiences effectively.
I do not go to new sketchbooks and share replies anymore. I did that earlier,
but I got the feeling that it’s a waste of time, cause they give up and my
words and encouragement went into the wind. I do visit every users
sketchbook that leave a reply in mines. Sooner or later. I don’t know
maybe its a bad habit, but I got these new rules in my book lately.
We all give up sooner or later, cause no one lives forever. And
when we find a job or life gets in our way, we just leaver our
diaries and sketchbooks, and never come back. Some of us has more feelings
and emotions toward their diaries, some of us have less. I have lots of
feelings and emotions toward my diary/sketchbook. The last three years of
my life, lies here within. When I look a certain drawing from a certain date,
for example May 2010, I know exactly what happened in my life by those
drawings. No words needed, just that drawing, and the imprinted memories
in my brain when I did that piece. Weird as hell. So, back to the point, sooner
or later, we will all leave our books. I don’t want to leave this community, I
do not want to use it on the worst way, like a condom. I want to give thanks
for everything that delivered and offered to me. I hope when the time comes
to leave, I will have the strength and power to say good bye, and not leave
as a ungrateful jerk without any words. If I go without any words, it can mean
two things; 1. I am banned, 2. I am dead, imprisoned or permanently disabled.

After so much responses to my work, I get that feeling that I have to do better
and to work harder. I feel ashamed when I disappoint. So I tried to prepare a more
decent update with a pressure on me. I knew that I have to perform better. In my
own eyes, I have failed, I didn’t delivered anything new, nor anything better.
All the same, the same pencil lines, no improvement in my eyes. I did some
environment work, in hope that I will build a better good looking portfolio.
I want to have paintings in more areas and to eliminate the nudity and porn
stuff, so when I send someone my portfolio link to look normal and decent.
Those are the plans for the future. So, I want more clean and soft work.
White feathery clean. Puffy clouded white feathery goose dream.


Discussions from the underground ruined fallout toxicated shocked bombshelter
(DO NOT READ BELOW!, cause it’s an absolute waste of time);


-Don’t hold back, and always be yourself. Say what you feel
and tell the truth, even if your voice shakes.

-The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.
But we all knew that.

-BANGBROS is the worst thing that ever happened to the porn industry,
and generally to porn as art. Commercialized over blown monopolized sh**ty garbage.
Is there a scenario where a huge atomic bomb hits them, the studio or wherever they
are, and destroys all there senseless non creative brainwashed parasites?
We could watch as their plastic like artificial rubbery dicked actors burn to crisps.
In pain. Remember the good ol’ Italian, German and the European Triple X.

-The time is near, to push that button

-I was hanging around freelancer.com lately, and I was wondering
is there a possibility to get a job there, or is that all a big parade and a joke?
Can you find honest people there which
will give you a honest job? Or is the whole thing a big cutthroat predefined
programmed circus? Enlighten me please.

-Even if a huge mass epidemic necromortosis disease has been spread by
Diablo 1 and 2, there are still strong ones, who did not fell under the spell
of the third one.
Playin 1 and 2, yes you are addict, you are addict like Vinona Ryder in her
worst kleptomania time. But not the third one. You ain’t get more money,
you will not earn more money you filthy beast.
And there is that pirate-gulf. So? Suck It Blizzard!
