Jskotte, thanks! it's true i should work more on the diversity of the head and expressions 'n stuff. here's more ! ^^

2 themes: Space Monkey Mecano and Metal Masks

[MattGamer]

great work mate. loving that space monkey!!

[jskotte]

Really cool, the colors are so good, specially in the spacemonkey piece.

[PHATandy]

Awesome stuff dude, getting a really cool John Foster vibe from the last ones. Those really loose scratchy brush strokes. Looks good.

Keep up the good work!

Whoa, i really should have found this sketchbook earlier.
Cool ideas, the monkey's made me smile
My only suggestion is to try and pump some more saturation to your works,
especially in the focal area.

Cheers.

[Ricardo Robles]

hey nice sketchbook!
You have some really interesting characters and creatures, love the dark atmosphere in you drawings and the lighting.
good job!

[Yor]

woaw!

MattGamer, Thanks man! who doesn't love space monkeys

Jskotte, thank you! Colors are so intriguing!

PHATandy, thanks, i can only dream to get near john fosters lvl, love his works.

Traveler, thanks!

Charles Ratteray, thank you, you have an interesting sketchbook!

Icecold, thanks for the tip i will keep that in mind for the next ones

Ricardo Robles, thank you man, sweet stuff in your SB aswell!


you guys keep me pumped!
I've been trying a new rendering technique ( lotsa smudging ) it takes time and is pretty boring but rewarding ( i hope ) in the end. here's a wip

[MattGamer]

i like that technique. i've seen it in bumskee's work a lot. it's got a sweet painterly feel to it. i've tried it before, but my system is too slow and lags up like hell! haha! good work, the enviro has s certain mood to it. ;]

[Yor]

MattGamer, yeah my mac is having a hard time too, he'll survive ^^ and thanks!

speed from this morning



bleh :s

[MattGamer]

ahh is that the cum monster from a giant penis?!! ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *runs for his life*

[smuli]

Good speedpaintings here! I like the two last ones especially because of the brushwork and use of temperature contrast. I think the second last one could use some darker values to give it more depth though, at least on the foreground. Keep it up!

[RokasButkys]

Great concepts!! like your style, it has a nice rendering
all the best!

[SamC]

mmm i like these edges bro, keep it up

[Yor]

MattGamer, yeah it's god's semen

Smuli, yeah i'm still struggling with that enviro, need some darker values like you said, thanks !

RokasButkys, Thank you ^^

SamC, thanks man, loving your work too


here's a doodle from this morning nothing exciting but it'll come!

[~KJK~]

this one here definitely deserves some stars!

[Yor]

Parsakoira, awwh thanks


a quicky i just did the theme was "the departure"

[MattGamer]

wooo loving the color consistency. where do you get your palette from? these from your mind? i like i like and might do a study.

[~KJK~]

very vivid imagination, and lovely use of colors excellent sketchbook!

[RBeek]

hey man

very cool sb you have.. ur digitals are really awsome i very much like that astronaut ape..
the use of color is very very ncie! Something i should definatly try to improve on myself

and that last speedpaint is very cool kinda fairytailish

Keep that up!
And thnx for checking out my sb Much appreciated!

[Yor]

MattGamer, Thanks man! yeah the colors are the result of experimenting a lot, an just plain having fun. I would be honored!

Parsakoira, Thanks alot man, keeps me going!

RBeek, Thanks!

ok today's theme was "Mutant farm animals" lol

[Jasper_]

Nice works man, I'm really enjoying your rendering style, very fluid and painterly.

[Yor]

Jasper , thanks man, i try to keep it painterly and loose, glad you like it !

k got 2 versions of the same enviro but i don't know which i prefer..





i think i like the colors of the second one 'cause they aren't so saturated..

[Hive_minD]

you have got some really great colours going on in your work. Really digg it! Is this done in PS, Painter, Art Rage?

Chris

[Icecold]

Thanks for constantly stopping by at my sketchbook Yor, i smell a new friendship ;]

Love the painterly feel in your latest work.
This one's my favourite so far:



Could you share any advices, on how to start the painting to have that sort of feeling to it? I'm not saying that i wan't my works to be exacly like yours but i'd love to blend part of it to my process to achieve something new, i like to experiment with styles.

Many thanks, take care mate.

[Metal Fingers]

duuuuuuuuuuuuude, I dig your structure and youre colors a lot!!! keep rocking those styles man.

[MattGamer]

haha the mutant pig makes me laugh. so great.

though watch out for unsaturated pictures. there is a way to make things less saturated and still keep the depth in the landscape. i've yet to figure it out. haha! more landscape studies for me!

[Doom-Breath]

I dig your style. Definitely like that last one The application is nice!

[Pixie Trick]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful brushwork and colour choice. I love it!

In terms of which landscape I prefer, I think a combo of the two would be nice. To build off of MattGamer's comment, perhaps the brighter crack-glow (that sounds so weird ) in the foreground and less vibrant as you go back. Also, If you either brightened the city, or lightened the clouds, it would make the buildings show up more.
