Ouch, man. That sucks. But don't be too hard on yourself. You're a stellar draftsman already, and 20 is really, really young. Don't write your dreams off just yet. You have plenty of time to come back from this and return to kicking ass. Time is working for you on this, not against you.

Frazetta had a stroke and lost the use of his painting hand... so he taught himself to paint with his other hand. You can't keep a legend down, and you're on your way to becoming one. Take a break, but don't give up.

Thanks for the encouraging words man, it's hard to believe that time is on my side..I don't know... but what you say just reminded me of a quote I came across the other day "Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."
Lance Armstrong
You just keep pumping those sketches

Greenhouse: Thank you very much.

Vermis: Thanks a ton!

matejkovacic: Thanks!

~Twig: Thanks!

Quigleyer: Thanks man. I'll try to remember to save the steps on something. I'm using a very basic process, for the most part; just a rough line drawing, then a black and white value pass, then some color and soft light layers to glaze on color, and then painting on top opaquely. Nothing special, really.

Forrest_I: Thanks v much!

Somelar: Ha, yes, I share your love of bubble cities. Thanks a ton.

andres333: Yeah, man, just drink lots of water and stretch those ligaments regularly, and your wrist will heal up. Then you can return to making me jealous of your figure drawing skills. So, uh, no rush.


Here's a quick speedpaint and a colored version of a sketch from a couple posts back.

[Vritra]

Really stellar work you have going here. Nothing but asspats from me.

Keep updating, and five stars.

Good work on that skeleton armor! It would be interesting to see him placed in a context. I can already se him standing in front of his throne!
Keep up the good work!

Vritra: Thanks a ton for the kind words.

Dark_Eyes: Dude! I love your work. Thanks for the delicious stars.

thebigchild293: God, no, don't look at those old pages. I ought to delete them before I get sued for blinding someone. Thanks though!

f1x: Haha, thank you.

GEB: Thanks!

hücumkedi: This compliment will be remembered when I seize the levers by which the world is ruled.

Greenhouse: Thanks again!

Some sketches, just playing around with color.

[JDSart]

kickass volumes man, really love how you handle your highlights. Rock on.

[Torch]

Bit of a n00b question but wanted to know how exactly do you render your value so cleanly? Its just I use low opacity to make my values blend together better but they always turn out quite 'muddy' and I'd like it to look a lot more clean. Excellent work btw
