[Seraph Fawkes]

@ seetsy Thank you. I'm really not big fan of refs, though I advice to use them on every corner ^_^' I just prefer to observe something for some time and than try to recreate it.

again, lil sketch.. not much of anything...

[DK_sketch]

Been a while since i visited last and you sure have improving since then, i love the quick character sketches and inviroments
keep up the good work mate

[Seraph Fawkes]

@ DK_sketch thx man

won't post till wednesday - taking rest and slacking, but here's some progress video I've made by request (btw HD available). Maybe will do more vids...


p.s. comments and critiques are needed. if I'd get feedback I could consider it and do better vid and even tuts.

[shambok]

Thanx for the Youtube link

[DK_sketch]

No slacking dude!
nice vid btw just cheked it out and you´re work with line in ps is awsome

[kingkostas]

thnx for sharing knowledge mate!!!!the sketch is lovely and improved.Some soft brighter passes here and there in the rendering part made it look a little strange so i think i liked it more on earlier stages while i watched the vid.Maybe because you thought almost the same about every material in there.I would keep somethings more matte.
Keep up man, you are doing great!!!!

[Seraph Fawkes]

@ DK_sketch thank you my friend
@ kingkostas thx man I will. and you probably right about rendering, and even more - I've almost didn't thought about materials at all this time ^_^

so, finally I've made myself to do studies with posemaniacs.com )

[BluezAce]

Hey, mate! Long time no see!!

Got crappy internet connection right now, so I couldn't watch your vid till the end. Nice one! But I think it will become better if you could give some "explanation" (what you think at minute x;xx, why you go for that line, etc etc). Just some neat, short comment like "Whoops... Did a mistake" or "Hmm... The pose isn't dynamic enough". Let me see your personality muahahahah!!

[Seraph Fawkes]

Well it was quite spontan... And that exact image doesn't really deserve any comments ^___^ But the next one will be commented. Maybe even some voiceover, though I'm a bit shy about that. Anyway, thank you for comment, Bluez.

[fernandoart]

Hey there, great studies.. I specially like the ones from posemaniacs.com... I've been using that site myself, it's great for both: gestures and a bit of anatomy... that's what I think at least

Keep it up & comin'!

[DSmith]

Wow,I love the character designs,and the detailed posemaniacs stuff is a quite interesting idea,but looks great too!
I would also love to see a video with voiceover,sooo much to learn!
Great job,keep it up!

[Ian Barker]

you are definitely on the right track! keep working on your anatomy as I'm sure you know... a few goofy things there and there such as bug eyes and tiny jaws but i am sure you will iron those out as you go. keep at it!

[xxPurple Nugxx]

Wow these are some really cool concepts.

[kingkostas]

awesome mate!!!you even rendered these posemaniac studies!!!thats a great study!!!keep them up, they will boost u immediately

[Seraph Fawkes]

fernandoart indeed, great source for artist
DSmith I'll finish video at monday
Liffey Thanks. I know my issues, so I'm trying to do better every time.
xxPurple Nugxx Thank you
kingkostas Thank you my friend

so, not that much of some studies this time. New year at university, and mostly I've been just rendering big works. So here's progress on the dragon... He really become my dragon, which I should conquer.

[Novbert]

Some nice stuff here - I love the enviros especially. That last dragon sketch also looks nice, though that beard (?) makes it look like it has just eaten some really giant rats (I don't think I've ever seen any bearded dragon - maybe not the best idea - or should be polished some more)
And one important general remark: Your faces look off. Some less, some more, but there are minor problems with all of them. I can't really point out what's the problem with them. Sometimes the eyes are wonky (like on that video guy), sometimes the nose, sometimes the lips (video guy again). Sometimes the - lack of - overall structure. I'd highly recommend that you should do face studies - both general anatomy studies and portraits - to check if you can render different characteristics. Portraits of famous people can be especially good as others can easily point out errors on them.
Keep on sketchin'!

[Naram Sinha]

Dragon's starting to look more realistic. That's great, i'm glad, that you're on to details so much. Keep it up!
By the way, see nothing wrong about the beard, that's ok for unexisted creatures to have anything that artist wants.

But faces are lil'bit strange, I give you that. Some of them are good though, but in common - unnatural... That's good idea to start making portraits)

[Seraph Fawkes]

@ Novbert Thanks for stopping by and giving such review. About faces - yeah I know it. But those what you see here are just a tip of the iceberg. Mostly my facial studies are done in a real sketcbook. All I can say in my defense, that 1 year ago I even coudln't draw a face. I'm still pushing my stuff further, and, maybe in a few months, but my techniques will be even better. About rat tails - I can see what you talking about, but as said Naram Sinha - "that's ok for unexisted creatures to have anything that artist wants". However I do not like how thread laying right now, so I'll change it soon.

BTW, it's nice to hear from you, Alex. Hope you hadn't change much after that trip, because you sometimes such an ass.

So, I've updated (another facial and render studies, plus composition and silhouettes) plus some halfsilhouettes. Unfortunately can't right now keep it daily. However, thanks you all for feedback. Oh, and go check our Indie\ModDB page Just click here!

p.s. it's all digi, not pencils)

[kingkostas]

Kirill u are doing really great, and u are keeping great spirit with your later updates!!!
Great achievements in the dragon.You played really great with texture and level of detail, these things already make the image more interesting to see.Lovely thumbnail ideas and sketchessss
I am glad to see u keeping up and fighting

[raminafshari]

perfect figure works on #307 post ,imaging dragon on #316 try his eyes with read color , turn it more evil i think .

[DK_sketch]

Great figurestudies man. I really enjoy you´re pencil lines and style for that matter

[Seraph Fawkes]

@ kingkostas thanks Kostas for you support - it's always nice to hear good words after some big work.
@ raminafshart thank you, but if you'd see previous stages of dragon, you'd see, that dragon not evil, but sad. But I was planning to play with eyecolor.
@ DK_sketch thanks for stopping by!

more sketchin' studies with a drop of design practice

and 20000+ views! Thank you guys all for stopping by and posting your comments and critiques!

[alexson]

Looking real hot! I like your sketches and designs! Keep up the good work

[shambok]

Love seeing your posts ...
the dragon is already looking stunning ... can wait to see the finished image. I dig you anatomy under drawings on your characters ... so darn precise!
thanx for sharing and keep up the great work!

[Sonia Leticia]

Sweet figure work and sketches! And that dragon has some awesome textures and lighting going on.

[Hamsta]

Hey Seraph, thanks for dropping by my sketch book.

Anatomy is a little wonky on these comic book pages. You need to find some good reference.
I'm seeing a few good ideas coming up as far as how you are composing these pages, try pushing it, as far as how you want the eye to flow from one panel to the next, and how big shapes align to each other.
I liked the warmer skin tones (post #198) but maybe turning it bluer was a sound decision for the overall mood.

[Nemome]

hey! Nice character drawings!
You got some dynamic poses in here!

Go on

[Nemome]

Sorry for double posting, but thank you for your comment.
I replied in my sb with a few questions.
Can you please look in my sb again?
Thank you

[kingkostas]

This page is full of improvement.
Now just keep improving the anatomy more and more, since u already developed nice lines and the rendering becoming better and better.
The better the drawings become the better will be everything on them
keep up the greak work kirill

[Seraph Fawkes]

@ alexson thank you for stopping by!
@ shambok and thank you for liking my stuff ) and in the future it will be only better
