Danny;
Those are some very sweet words my friend, thank you for the visit and for the encouragement.

Rafid;
Hello there, I am feeling cool cause you liked the Santa influence and environment.
Three years passed by just like that, you see how time flies when someone having a great time.
We had a lot of joy and interesting moments in the past few years, but we stood strong
and kept our faith, and we keep on traveling toward our artistic goals. We will achieve a lot
of positive and wonderful things together in the future.
Good luck to you also and lots of happiness and drawing time in the next year.

Visit his SKETCHBOOK. Dont miss his beautiful art.







It's time for some hard core stuff again;

[LtPlissken]

No one wants to play with me?

[Jr.Molcak]

oh boy oh boy, it took me a while to figure out how these are related to me Anyway, you may want to consider to go two-colors on your sketching. Maybe light blue for the messy-construction-guessing-finding part and the deep black to pick out the finished body. This might help you to develope. I personally did try this couple of times. It felt like double work and a lag to fluid drawing, but it wasn't really.

Seconded! I tried that and it's cool. Sometimes I use a pencil then a dark marker, my lines got way more confident (and it was shown well when I shot my SB pages). Maybe it's not a priority for everyone though. *shrug*

[Black Spot]

Good to see you updating more often. I wouldn't worry about n00b threads that never get updated. This has always been the case and probably will always be. Sometimes they come back years later and pick up again.

Like the Christmas card. See, you can do merry.

[Lakai]

thx Plissken yea i had a very good christmas. Was fun with my family this time.
This porn stuff made my day, i just have to browse ur work and im in good mood again thx for that!

sry for the double post. Can't delete it... don't know why its not working

[LtPlissken]

Juraj;
Yes, one page of my drawings was referenced from your sketchbook, you have
some outstanding concepts and ideas. Using two colors on my sketches, I know I tried and
just as you said it felt like double work and was interfering with the workflow, was losing
some precious ideas. I think it’s good to do it, when you are preparing some portfolio pieces,
and you want them to look top notch as much as they could be. Thank you for the advice, will
try to do in the future more of double drawn drawings to get more accurate lines. Oh, and
a lot of times, I draw in a car, vehicle, while other is driving, so it turns out even messier than
it should. But of course I should not use excuses like that. Thanks for the visit once more.

shiNIN;
When I am just concepting and putting down thoughts on paper, then it’s not a priority to
look to good, but if I am creating things for portfolio or exhibition it surely helps to think through
my sketches a bit more, and draw first the underlines, as Juraj said, to find the shapes, and then to solidify
the lines with a marker or with a darker pencil. Will surely experiment with that method in the
future. Thank you for the constant support and for viewing my drawings all the time. Are you
ready for the new years eve celebration?

Mrs.Spot;
I am trying to be more active and to let loose my creativity. It’s very good that you are back,
and that your kindness shines through these boards once again. Cheers Mrs. Spot.

Marcel;
It’s good to know that you had a great Christmas, and of course
I am very happy that you visited and that my work cheered you up.
Thank you for the attention and for the kind words.

This sketchbook really shows what hard work and dedication can do. You really have improved massively since starting this thread.

[Eternal Apprentice]

Duuuude you are going on like you know the exact date of the end of teh world! I LOEV IT. 0-0

[kamikazel33t]

Sweet, more posts! Keep it up buddy! I found that part about being raped by the bell quite hilarious. Nice play on the words "saved" by the bell! XD I am actually wondering what that device does on the second page of yesterday's sketchbook . Are those thumbs for a storyboard or a composition thumb?

[will123will]

Love the mood and lighting in the christmas painting man, keep that working coming

[bbwolf]

Lotza good work. Ya keep getting better and better. So much work. Wow. Big respect for that workload. And the improvements. Hard work pays off. Way to go Lt.

[eclip-se]

Hey bro, happy new year, thumbnails & weapons

[HarbingerofIllRepute]

Everything you do is freakin' gold!
Just stopped by that say thanks for the advice, give ya an asspat, and wish you a happy new year... (On that note: Can you believe it's 2013?)

[shiNIN]

I couldn't reach CA.org for days and my internet connection was bad anyway, maybe because the weather... So I send this a few days later than I wrote it. Even if I'm quite inactive, I make sure to check your SB often

Oh it's not about quality only (though I personally need to do prettier stuff to keep the minimal amount of confidence), it's really fun to draw over the sketch. The sketch gave me ideas (it's like how writing is a form of thinking to me), I have a much more solid idea of whatever I'm drawing so when I draw it again, I needn't worry about it, I can be carefree, a bit more creative and still, because I have my original sketch as a guideline, I'm confident I won't mess it up and my lines becomes quicker, bolder, better. It's a great feeling. Some of these may not apply to you as we are different but I had to share this
Am I ready? I'm ready for whatever comes! I felt I was dead just until now but it's not true anymore! Alice: Madness Returns, You, playing with my new toys (a drill and a jigsaw) and some sunshine created this. I'm getting ideas, my BF found some pornographic background material on Alice, it was already gory.... Mmmm. I'm not sure I will take steps into that direction but we'll see.

I like your figures better and better, they often have a really nice gesture. The weakest part is the legs, they are often wobbly and less convincing, especially next to the much more impressive upper parts. But they are enjoyable nonetheless. Even if I'm too young and innocent to understand your rape bell idea, my only reaction was "wtf? whatever". There are things I simply can't do anything with it and there are things that makes sense, I fondly remember your gal with the castration job or something like that. That was clear and I being me always liked gals who aren't victims anyway.

Hey, please, don't blame on weather for almost anything... If you had tried, this site http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/ would have told you the truth. Congratulations to your feeling of progressing!

Hi, LtPlissken, you rock!!!

[mike butkus]

Looking good!

[Caspia]

I'm really sorry to hear about your eye, don't give up. There's some treatment available for wet AMD but it's still only to reduce the symptoms and not get rid of them entirely.

The angel looks fantastic! What does she need legs for? She has wings and some guns to blow holes in idiots who get in her way. I like her.

Even if I don't post very often right now. (Had to move house twice in six months. NEVER AGAIN) I'm still drawing, and I want to tell you to do the same. Those studies are looking good, you should be more confident with your lines. They look good when you're not going over them again and again. Feel good about your lines!

[FightingSeraph]

I haven't been to your thread in who knows how long, but you're still making great stuff. Here's hoping that your eye gets better soon.

[ChisLu]

It's amazing to see how dedicated you're and how much you've improved since the last time I checked your sketchbook, your studies have acquired a nice movement line. Keep it up

[Joe777k7]

HEY MAN!!!!!!!!!! I Havent been around in awhile!! Glad to see your posting still! I swear every time i see your digital paintings im amazed how good you are at it. Even the cartoon one of the white milf and her lover hehehehehehehe YOur line work is improving as well! Glad to see this. Keep going!!!

EDIT!
Oh wait scratch that, i saw that was done by someone else, but im sure you can do a bunch like that with your mind hehehehehehhe

[Lyraina]

Alright, time for me to stop lurking and start commenting again!
Your christmas painting is cool, as I'm not a big fan of the red Santa Claus, I prefer the environment only version.
Composition wise, the finished painting is better though. Love the little cute star hanging from the lantern.
I hope touching it doesn't activate some malicious trap-door or somethign alike...

The Maul of Frost is cool (literally), I'm seeing a face, and yet only a weapon... staring at me.

I hope 2013 will be a very successful and satisfying year for you, there are great things coming for you, I know it

[Arteast]

Great stuff on here love stopping by and lurking on your glory! Well keep slaying the trees my friend we will reach victory soon enough! haha

[Liberty]

Whaat gairl.jpg is awesome, keep at it, steady pace. Also if you dont draw what you liek whats the point?
But I get it what you mean by making whats marketable to earn money if what you do is too extreme haha.

More art more more more, object in motion stays in motion. go...

Take care now.

Chris-Garrett;
I feel delighted if you think that way. However, I am really not a hard worker, I am a lazy individual,
who most of the time have troubles to make himself to draw something reasonable. Thank you for
the kind words of encouragement.

Eternal Apprentice;
Well I have some world ending theories, but they are kind of funny, so I better not talk about them.
You are very kind for coming here and for cheering me up, thank you very much.

Danny AKA kamikazel33t;
Raped by the bell is an ace stuff, even if it’s pulled a bit naive, from the technical point of view.
I am not sure which page that you meant, with the device on it. You said, the page of yesterdays
sketchbook, so I was not really clear about it. Anyway, I want to thank you for the sweetness and
for the constant support. Take care and be good.

Will;
I am happy that you like the Christmas one, thank you for the encouragement.

Wolf;
Thank you my friend, thank you for the motivating and encouraging words, it means much.
Feeds my body, mind and soul. I am ready to into new battles and conquests.

eclipse;
Happy new year my friend, all the best to you too.
Thank you for the visit and for the reply.

Harbinger;
Well, that’s a bit overdone, things don’t turn to gold by my touch, haha, but it’s definitely nice
to read that kind of motivating words. Thank you very much for the visit and for the
good wishes. I also want you to have a great year, a great 2013 year, and yes,
indeed, we have to believe it that it’s already 2013, no matter how strange that sounds.

shiNIN;
Well hello there my dear friend, so good to see that familiar famous skull avatar around.
CA had some troubles around new year, but everything got back to normal now, thanks
to the good people managing good things around here. Don’t worry, don’t put too much
pressure on yourself for replying to my book, yes I really like your presence and your
advices and thoughts are one of the most precious around here, but I don’t want anyone
to get a replying thing as an obligation or must. That Alice and nasty version of
Alice in Wonderland gave me also some hints and some fantastic ideas. I think that it
would be an outstanding collab, or it would be a phenomenal move, if you would go
a bit in that direction. Oh yes, I would definitely like to see some of those sweetness.
The raped by the bell is just one more silliness, and one more idea that crossed
quickly through my mind. I had a paper and a pen, and I sketched it down. Not a pretty
clean job, but hey, the idea and the concept is there. And now some more people saw
it here on CA, which is not bad I guess. I want to thank you for the detailed review,
the kind words and for your precious thoughts. I want you to post something new
pretty soon, and to surprise us once more with your mastery and bakery. Cheers.

untier;
Thank you very much for the visit and for the kind words of encouragement.

Mike;
Feeling delighted and proud for having such a great artist visit my
humble sketchbook. Thank you very much.

Caspia;
Don’t worry about the eye, I think positive thinking will help, thank you for caring. The angel was
created thanks to you, and it came out great, I am satisfied, thank you for your help. She will blow
holes through idiots, you are right about that haha. Take care and be around, cause I love your presence.

Seraph;
Happy to have you here, and seeing you being active.
Thank you for your attention.

Juliana;
Thank you very much for the bits and pieces of motivation my dear.

Joe;
Thank you very much, always happy to see you here.

Lyraina;
Touching the little yellow star on the Santa painting does something, but
I will tell you about it when we’ll meet. Thank you for everything.

Arteast;
Thank you.

Liberty;
Thank you for the moving motivating thoughts,
you take care and draw a lot also.

It was a real shame about conceptart.org being down for a few days. First it was for new year
and new years eve, I really missed the community. Then things came back together,
I realized that the site got much more faster, and the images are loading much quicker.
Good job on all this friends, I mean the beautiful people who keep running
CA everyday for years back. Then the second wave
of downtime was, cause of the site being hacked? Or it was a malware or virus I am not sure.
The persons who should know about this most probably know the right reason.
Putting my mind in a hacking state, where I would be able to do damage
to the world, even if it’s only like through the internet, makes my imagination to go loose.
Making real destruction and mayhem
in the real world or on the internet, does it even makes a difference today? You could
mask yourself up and rob a bank, threaten some hot mini skirted blondes behind their
windowed desks, with your big gun while at it. Or you can just take the money off from
someones account through your unshielded twisted pair cable, or your wireless boosted
hyper network system. The second version is for sure less brutal, and could cause less
casualties and human (or animal) victims. After all the result and the risk is almost the
same.
Summarizing my pretty lackluster past, and wrongly guided life, I could or should
totally forced my self more into the secrets of computer technologies, into the science
of hacking and generally into cyber space demolition techniques.
Let’s say 15 years oriented toward these beautifully
fascinating qualities, I would totally reap some very good use and benefit. This afternoon I would
be sitting in my cosy warm room, brainstorming, which site I would bring down, or how many
computer viruses would I spread. I could hack some politically oriented sites, cause mainly there
are full of $%%&% and s**#*rs, two faced l^*#s. I mean, no one would give a damn about that,
if they would have a hardly infected politically friendly computers. Or a world would surely not blink
not once, if their democratic, feudalistically socialistic radically cleptocratic site would be
offline for a few days. Would they care?
Porn sites I would not attack for sure. People need to do their things, masturbate and feed
their imagination, liberate their mental cages and all that. Attacking a porn site would be a true sin.
And now when I think more about my virtual abilities and possibilities,
I could attack some art related webpage. Like conceptart.org.
But how could I live with that? Could I be able to sleep?
My consciousness would never be clean and the same again. I mean attacking something that
brings creativity to this dark greedy abandoned soulless evil haunted world?
A website where people draw and paint. It’s a bit lame. I could never forgive something like that
to myself. Going down berserk on a site like this, it’s not fair and its totally wrong.
It’s against humanity. It’s like stealing one
complete round of lunch from the patients, in a badly diseased hospital. Or like taking
secretly a huge smelly dump in a corner, of some world famous museum. Then hiding behind a
VIIth century stoic statue, waiting for the visitors reaction, observing their faces, and giggling
on the subject up and down. There are some things that you don’t do.
So in conclusion to this story, even if I would be able to do some
harm to the internet, it would not be an art site. And if someone really intentionally hacked
conceptart.org, then I say to him; “Shame on you mister bandit guy!”, “What would your
papa told you if he would be still amongst us?!?”

Graphite drawings from imagination.

[LtPlissken]

A classic sentimental confusing sensational mood is what like I was in this morning.
I went to this restaurant today, where I occasionally feast. The food is relatively good, the
temperature is pleasant, considering that it’s damn frosty outside, and there are a few
young females amongst the personnel. Not really pretty actually, but they have all their
bumps and holes on the right places, if you know what I mean. My lunch of choice
was macaroni with grated cheese on it, and a yogurt. This pleasure costed me exactly 1 US dollar.
And can you imagine, the restaurant was almost empty. Started to eat I was,
and then came in two more guys, elder ones, I know both of them, rich fukin spoiled
fagots, ending tails of the current rotten corrupted galactic system. The summary of
their both human value is very close to the one, that a city sewer spit, able to swim on slime
possess. Sometimes I cannot hide my disgust scenario face. Unintentionally. It’s stronger
than me. Years after years, it has been collecting and building up inside of me, the anger
and despise level. And no, hitting the wall or punching through glass doesn’t help, cause you will still
get sleepless nights over and over again. The disgust face was ON, while looking at them.
I intercepted myself, I realized that they will notice that I fully radiate unbreakable, hard
to handle despise charged barrier and offensive wave towards them.
I’ve put on a smile, cause today I decided that I will work on myself,
on my personality, I will become a better person, no matter how high the price will be. I
smiled forcibly, even when my aura was obviously appearing like a badly beaten up gravedigger,
after new years eve. These two individuals earned more money last year, then I will ever be able to earn,
well maybe not even in 20 years from now, no matter how hard I try. And the worst thing
is that they are born imbeciles, they have no positive virtues or creative useful qualities. They
deserved their high social status and wealth, thankfully to the modern fucked up galactic system.
Yes, the star system is corrupted today. How could that be? Maybe it was like this all along right
from the start, right from the year zero. You will be equal, you will have the same rights just
as they have, only that you will be a bit handicapped from the beginning. You will be
wiping toilet seats, they’ll be reading their newspapers and sip their morning coffees, while
your dream girls suck sloppily off their semi hard bananas.
As these gentleman sat to the table next, I realized that they started dishing out their
food. The thing that popped out as strange, is that one of them, the uglier one, started to eat
like an animal. Literally like an animal who didn’t get any food near his mouth, since the
time of the plague. I moved my chair position a bit, to see his face fully, to have the full five point one,
and shaking up and down theatric effect, as he chokes on the large bits of his food.
The sound effect was also there, the echo when a filthy muddy pudding like
pig is eating up his late night supper. He was munching disgustingly, I couldn’t believe my eyes and to
my ears, it was so surprising. Suddenly I wanted to grab my mobile, equipped with a low quality cam,
to record these divinely sinister moments. But then I realized that it would be too obvious and gave up
on my intentions. The look in his eyes was priceless, and the moment when he shifted from human
to bestial mode. I saw this same instinct on starving dogs eating by the street cans, they are
shutting off all their senses, they are turning off everything around them, focusing only on the
one and only thing, the food infront of them. Devour and mangle.
I didn’t realized, that this type and method of feeding exists in humans. I believe that this
same scenario was witnessed back in the death camps, in WWI or WWII, but not today.
Not here. A full power blossomed ornamented weekly highlight this happening was.
I needed time to believe my self and to my senses, and to see that minor things,
this caliber, can cheer me up so effectively and suddenly.
An obscure brutal moment followed.
The eating guy started shaking in an epileptic sudden fashion, and his lower mouth and jaw dropped,
forming instantly a large gaping eating hole. He spontaneously grabbed his eating partner by his
shoulders, and taken by surprise his prey not defending himself, he started taking large chunks and bites off his head,
and chewing on them in rapid fast devotion. In only few seconds from the start
of this morbid occasion, half of the victims body was mangled and destroyed, blood and guts
were all around, the curtains were stained and the window was steamed.
The feasting beast was instantly digesting the prey’s intestines and body parts, with
a blood filled staring through hollow eyes.

I was horrified.

He munched then belched.

After there was silence.....

The dinner was over. I let some steam
out, and I felt disgust, happiness and melancholy all the same time on the same place.


If you thought that this story will lead somewhere, have some logical ending, I have to deeply
disappoint you, cause it doesn’t have anything nearly like that. Just a mundane daily
grey moody happening without any overture or worthy conclusion.
A diary of nonsense, words like tears, which will be washed away with the first oncoming rain.

This is the new year, 2013, we are here, how can we not be surprised? Or how could we
be surprised? The Maya’s letting us down, with their mismatched calendar, they just forgot
to push the ‘Save Game’ button. Leading up the world money hungry hotheads to run a wrong
propaganda, earning less money that they expected, once again. Still, they didn’t secured enough
of their family generations. 10 generation is an absolute minimum for them. You never go
below 10. And a wise man said, money is not important, you never go for the
money, work on making other people happy. Live for them, serve them. And damn, I am
surely doing that, I am serving others. I don’t need money, my tissue and micro cells, or
whatever I have in my body, they are all charged by sunlight, I don’t need food, I don’t
need a nice apartment, car, new sneakers or deep diving fivehundreddollar expensive watch.
High standard quality professional medical care. I don’t need all that silliness.
My heart and soul bursting from happiness, as I know that I am making other people happy.
I was crying about my old sneakers, I wanted that new one, you know the Puma one, that
which can be used for running and swimming at the same time. It can withstand fire
and can tolerate high amount of blood stains without looking too fancy. But then I saw
a man on the bridge, begging for money, without any legs, and suddenly my shopping wishes
got drowned in the muddy water, right below that bridge. That’s what I said, I don’t need money.
So either way, the new year is here, we are ready to go once again, into new conquests.
New things await us, new challenges and life changing missions. I personally, I decided to
keep on doing art, money or no money, the drawings have to roll. I have to put my feelings
and thoughts down to paper, even when we know that it will be gone to waste, cause the end
is near. Oh, by the way, which one is the next valid world ending date promised?
Finishing the thoughts for this occasion, I would like to wish everyone a happy full new year,
many many love, drawing and painting hours. Lots of positive thoughts, let positive people
surround you, and ignore and say NO to the evil and crooked ones.
After all, we are all humans, except that some
of us are a bit less human than the others are.
Be good, do good, think good, and good will happen to you.
