Man, great sketchbook- awesome improvement/progression from beginning to current too!

[Zikes]

Väldigt snyggt bidrag! Har en vän som också var med i den tävlingen och har redan röstat på hans bidrag, så kan tyvärr inte rösta på ditt. Om jag hittar en dator på en annan IP-adress, så ska jag se till att rösta på det!

[MeteorCat]

I must say this is one of the best sketchbooks I've seen yet. I'm going to enjoy subscribing to this thread. Your work is amazing!

[NickyBeats]

tried to vote for your image, but that link directed me to some random search engine.. not sure why. but i love the pic dude, looks wicked!

[Reedux]

BLaaaaaaaaaarghgh I hate myself, emo /wrists... (Not really! )

Sorry for the lack of updates, I've been in England for the past month visiting my girlfriend just doing commission work and slacking off. And I'll be here for another week, it's really difficult focusing I have to say. Anywho, I hope that when I get back and start working on personal stuff again you won't hate me as much :'C

Joe777k7, alexson, AlexTooth - Thanks men! I placed third and got me a copy of the game! The composition and pose is pretty much just ripped from a number of paintings though. Only had 2days with tons to do in-between.

Fallenangel, snatti, NickyBeats, Zikes, Yor, Fernteixeira - Thanks you guys, I really appreciate the comments I get. Makes me feel better about my crappy stuff

John T - Thanks! I guess I can somewhat see it, haha.

Zikes, NickyBeats - That's alright, I guess I don't need that headset anyway... :'( Maybe I can buy one in half a year or so if business keeps going like it's doing. Thanks anyway!

MeteorCat - Oh you haven't seen enough then! Haha Sort the sketchbook forum by views and you get a nice list of amazing sketchbooks!


Here's a quick study I just did, about 2½ hours from photo.
I really need to get working again, so difficult to focus when we share one decent PC and we're both addicted to it!

[Dilated]

[Reedux]

Hey hey, long time no post!
I'll try to be brief with excuses.

I've got a job doing NDA shizznits for Blizzard/Cryptozoic Entertainment and I need to be doing twice the amount of work to get cash flow going. I also had a life for a brief period, girlfriend and everything. That abruptly ended though.

Still busy but I can post a few anatomy studies now and then
So less talk more drawings.

Figure studies from photos:


2hour Nude figure, reference: Suicide Girls.

[iamkennstan]

some inspiring tablet and pose work! flawless blending!

[MeteorCat]

I also had a life for a brief period, girlfriend and everything. That abruptly ended though.

My life suddenly changed due to the same reasons so know you're not alone

Beautiful images. It's good to see you're back!

[f1x]

nice stuff
specially the last pieces, #371 the girl with the gun + scared guy looks fantastic

[ErikR]

Cool murloc !

[Mila]

Awesome update. The studies are very impressive.

[Reedux]

Thanks everyone gonna do my best to catch up!

3½hour study, reference from Suicidegirls again

[Reedux]

It's been forever since I painted something for myself.
Spent 2hours sketching and comping a bit and this is what came out.
Maybe I'll be able to finish it some day soon

[JustinBeckett]

You have some reaally great work in here, keep it up!!

[Reedux]

Thanks Justin.

Some sketches, most of these were the first of the day so that may or may not explain why they suck balls. The eyes are wrong on just about every one of these faces, what the hell :|
Was looking at some of the earlier pages from 1-2years ago and thinking how much better I was back then. Then realized they aren't actually better, I just find it surreal to look at these old drawings because I can't even remember doing them.
Maybe that's for the better though?

Referenced. 10-20min/drawing


Imagination. 30min each.

[GabrielVerdon]

You're rendering is getting really good these days

I love how expressive your faces are too.

[Mila]

Nice! The 2nd last environment has a nice mood. cool brushstrokes
