Great still lifes.

[Emil_J.]

the dragon knight looks rad
Your work on the traditional piece looks good aswell, good attention to detail.

[kidult]

I reckon yoyu could push those imaginative works as far as those studies, would up the epic factor! keep going!

[agelaos]

Woa, pokemon boobs D:, awessome. You got some nice color and values in those still lifes, just watch out for your edges. Dragon knight dude comin along good, maybe some tighter renderin and itll look great! By the way, you paint really good soap . Keep it comin braahhhhhhhaaaaaaahhhh!

[dleoblack]

Lizardsssss!!! Cool!!!!!!

Hey dude sweet updates here. Love the life studies, strawberries are definitely my favorite. The non-uniform almost jagged edges to them gives it a sort of paper cut-out feel, yet they are rendered so nicely. I think it's that contrast that I really like about them. On your next few why not try a different background? Maybe some material or lighting that interacts with the object more than a white background, you'd probably get more information out of it. Keep going man!

[MattGamer]

yippie! online and tomatoes are yummy looking. ooh strawberries! yummmmmm!

it's freezing in my office. wish that evil knight would come warm me up. hehahaaahaha
draw draw draw!

Black Spot-YUM
Kostas-thanks man, gonna push the knight as far as i can possibly go.

Hunchback-dang dude, those boobies look nice.

Well heres some TAD composition stuff, got crits this morning in class so I think I'll rework my favorite ones, just thought I'd post em up here to get some feedback from you lovely people. They were supposed to convey an emotion in simple black and white shapes. I definitely think a few were successfull but others, bleh. As always, thanks for stopping by, love to hear some crits from y'all! Cheers. they go, agony, alienation, anxiety, contemplation, despair, horror, lost, madness

Hey man!
I love your SB. Especially post #135

Love the one with those faces and flowers. Don't know why, but I totally love that kind of sketches.

Greets,
Flo

[Metal Fingers]

tasser-Thanks mang!
So I wanted to stick these in with the above update but I couldn't find my darned USB camera cord, low and behold BAM it was just under my table. Been working on this over the last week, first kind of free form sculpture I've done instead of planning everything out beforehand and I think it kind of shows. Should these be posted in the 3d section and not the sketchbook? I figure I should start one of those anyways. Thanks for looking! I would greatly appreciate any sort of critiques, cheers!

[agelaos]

That sculpture reminds of somethin Sam Niel was runnin away from in Mouth of Madness haha. Loookin goood.

[Eddieee]

I like the black and white comps! I think they're pretty clear in what emotions they're trying to convey, especially alienation and despair.

[MattGamer]

and this is your sketchbook! it's for everything you do! models are art too, you know! post everything and anything you create here!! even if it is a spit drawing (check youtube) on the sidewalk! :]
