havent been by in a while. school work has my ass on lockdown. gotta get into a regular groove again. trying to manage my time alot better. anyways, heres a quick sketch of ursula from the little mermaid for a drawing challenge on c g h u b . c o m .

[Veshkau]

Hey Nicky - Ursula's looking good! Need a little bit of asymmetry in there tho, pose and background too. Keep up the good work Sir Nicksalot

[NickyBeats]

Veshkau - thanks mayne! tweaked the pose, and started workin on colors... any thoughts? better or worse?

[NickyBeats]

nother update on this biatch

[NickyBeats]

sketch for the current chow (277)

[NickyBeats]

small update

[Medusoid]

OH I really like that background for some reason XD
very nice man, liking the feel but I think he might be a bit too stout, maybe elongating his torso would help?

[NickyBeats]

Medusoid - i think it might be all of the random little things that are covering him, but i see what you mean. he looks very stiff, even for partly being robotic too haha. but ill see if i can tweak it without ruining it.

-----------------------

just some quick colors. i like characters that have alot going on, but i think im gonna need to give him a monochrome layr on multiply or overlay just to give him something to tie all of the colors together.

[Medusoid]

lovin the colors man, do you think you could take a quick look at the last thing I posted in my SB? It has a feild in it and I am having trouble figuring out how to do the texture for all the wheat

[NickyBeats]

Medusoid - i tried checking your sketchbook, not sure if it updated or not, but ill check again the next time i get on.

heres a quick portrait of my chow character

[Medusoid]

Lol well I changed my cover image if you were looking for it in the SB thread. But it's the one with the green tailed person thats very roughly painted in

Im liking the face btw, nice job on the lips, they cause me so much trouble... probably why I avoid close ups on the face XD
Hope I can get my chow entry done in time

[NickyBeats]

Medusoid - hey man ill try to do a paintover if i have the time, but at the moment i have a shit ton of class work to do at the moment.

heres just 3 of the 7 head sculpts that i have to do for my organi modeling class i am taking at school.

1) head sculpt of a generic head build
2) head sculpt of a generic male head
3) head sculpt of a generic female head
4) head sculpt of a male head with an expression

[Cyberman]

Well I tread through the wild icy tundras of your last ten pages and in the cold I came across this little beauty, you say fail I say win! lol

[NickyBeats]

Sean McClain - ohhh jeeez haha thanks man! but.. i still say fail. actually more now than back then haha. onwards and upwards!!

heres a comic cover i was asked to do by my teacher, it was for a group of students in her class, and im not getting paid for it, im not receiving any college credits for it, so i aint going any further than this for her.

[Medusoid]

Cool I'm liking it man, I always have a hard time doing free works so props to you ^^
But not even extra credit? lol jkjk But thats some nice work, especially the background

[Icecold]

Mhhhmmm progress i sence <yoda mode off>

[NickyBeats]

Medusoid - haha yea doing free stuff is never fun! but thanks man!

Icecold - thank you mastah!!

goofy stupid sketch

bored at work, noone showed up for tutoring help

[Mike L]

Thanks for saying hello!
I'm digging those head sculpts, and the character colour in Post#1931 is strong, got a nice weight to it and confidence in the application of the colour.

Thanks for having a look at the latest sketches

[NickyBeats]

Mike L - ha anytime man! i love seeing your newest sketches!

---------------------------

heres some pen and pencil shite i have had lying around...

[TFsean]

Yo Nicky,
Really like where Ursula is headed especially the style youve chosen for the face. The materials are looking very nice and the composition and colour scheme. Only thing that niggles me is the hands, know its not finished but their general composition doesnt seem very evil and they bend a lil awkawrd.
Was following the last Chow and I really liked your guy, I think in terms of design you actually created a very believable time assassins, maybe not the slyest as you said but I totally see him doing his thing so kudos on the design.

[DennisH-Art]

Haha, nice work on Ursula! She really cracked me up!

[ezekrialase]

very nice work here, I especially like the last round of sketches!

[bish0p2004]

What's up, NickyBeats. Very awesome sb you have here. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get through it all in one sitting, but I will definitely be going back through in the next few days.

I really liked this:

[Fetsch]

[Riox]

Hey Nick, sketchbook is still going strong. I never tire looking at your work, it's always fresh and energetic.

Keep the updates rollin man.

[NickyBeats]

TFsean - hey man, thanks a bunch!! glad you like the stuff! and your right, those hands on Ursula were really bugging me too, probably the reason i stopped painting it haha. but thanks for dropping by dude!

DennisH-Art - thanks man! glad you dig it!

ezekrialase - thanks!! much appreciated!

bish0p2004 - yea dude i wouldnt expect anyone to sit and browse through all 60 whatever pages in one sitting! haha thats nuts! but thanks a ton for the kind words man!! i do appreciate it!

Fetsch - thanks man!! ohh my god no kidding right?! i need to study something soon, or ill just end up repeating stupid rookie mistakes for the rest of my career!!

Riox - heeeey Riox! long time no see!! how you been? thanks for the kind wrds! i appreciate it! just dropped by your sketchbook too, your getting damn good!!

-----------------

ok heres just a few sample pages from a comic im doing at the moment. dont want to give away too much right now, but just something to let you know ive been working. by the way i did 7 pages (up to this level of finish) today.

7 comic pages in one day. i feel like a beast!!!!!! YAAAR!!

[S Ciaffaglione]

Great stuff man, your faces are getting really good. I quite like your line work as well =)

[ErikR]

Cool comic pages lately !

[Mr. Corlan]

Ah yes, but where are these seven comic pages? You are holding out on us?! Lookin good. I like how you actually have a side plane on the head of the guy getting strangled and one or two others. Haha, sorry, I'm a jerk. Those head sculpts are sweet too. I really like how you did the folds around the mouth and that form diagonally between the eyes and nose.

There's something a bit better about your traditional drawings vs. your digital ones. They're a bit cleaner or something. You might try using a smaller brush and making more marks with digital?? I appreciate the hatching though. I had a class in school where all we did for the first four or five weeks was draw evenly spaced lines.

Keep rocking.

[NickyBeats]

S Ciaffaglione - thanks man!

ErikR - thanks!

Mr. Corlan - hey man! thanks for dropping by! and as always i appreciate the input, i definately need more time to do studies. im not trying to make excuses or anything, but i have almost no free time lately because of school. i never think ill have time to work on studies so i do goofy sketches and stuff instead. i cant wait until break because im gonna become a study machine.
