120 hour year and a half cast drawing. What an awesome learning experience. I will do a million things differently on my next one but it did exactly what it was supposed to: Expand the skills.

Big thanks to Dorian Iten and Jonathan Hardesty for bearing with me through this experience.

greAT! i like the watercolor portrait the most

**kuumehike** · May 11th, 2012, 05:08 AM

great works! amazing watercolor use in #29. Dunno if its a mistake or just lighting of the piece playing tricks on me eyes, but in #18 the drawing of the male....the spine looks funny to me, like its out of center or something

Wait. wut? You spent a year and a half perfecting that mold piece?
That is insane dedication.
Oh and your stuff is really sweet man.

Thanks man and just to clarify I spent 120 hours across a year and a half in 2 chunks, so not continuously...

Great work all over, the lighting is fantastic. The undead citadel is looking awesome, the colored crystal is a great touch. Also, i like to see you handle watercolors too

Awesome sketchbook,man! I really love your digital work and the coloring too.If you keep posting I can easily see this becoming one of the most popular sketchbooks on CA.org.

Thanks Ricardo Robles and Kriss_Kringle the props are great on shitty days and I appreciate your words, best of luck.

We have here 3 landscape studies between 1 and 2 hours per and one scape from imagination and then two characters from imagination. The woman is in PS maybe 2 hours and the big guy is mixed media maybe 4 or 5 hours. Thanks for peeking all.

Appreciate the love guys and gals. Bad news though, my wordpress blog just ate it and I lost all my hotlinks. So my apologies for lost work, I have rebooted the POS and will be posting new work as I make it.
