HI RES

[DefiledVisions]

Dun DUN DUUUUN!!!! Guess what man, I got myself a H.P Lovecraft collection called Necronomicon with his best short stories F********CK YEAH! haven't started reading it yet though höhö.

Boy have you been busy.. really dig the piece with the hands, if you're after a great sense of depth I suggest you work some more atmosphere into it, the white highlights you've got going over-all gives it a sense of flatness. You gonna colour it?

cya around man

[ryan mcshane]

still gotta make the hourglass less envelopy! i like the man for the scalle aaaaand the nose is cute
good work on your sp so far too man! i really like the lighting, how much more do you have to work on that? more steps?

[Lav]

Great updates! Your sketchbook keeps amazing me, i really like your ideas and concepts. Keep up the great work!

[~KJK~]

love the last paintings dude keep it up

[Metal Fingers]

Thanks guys! quick update on the portrait, been really digging digital painting and looking at a lot of d@niels stuff so this was has mostly been exploratory at this point, really trying to find a decent amount of sensitivity with digital media because for me, it still feels pretty foreign. thanks for looking, and crits are always much appreciated. Merry Christmas too!

[Beelow]

Pretty nice sketchbook. I definitely like the pencil sketches. Keep up the good work. Nothing really to crit in particular at the moment.

[ryan mcshane]

really like what you did with the eyes!
maybe add some quite symbolical lines that mean something to you? thanks

[Seraph Fawkes]

That last b\w piece, with that nasty thingie - really rocks. Love the feel of size.

[Luckers]

loving, Loving, LOVING your updates! MOAAHR!

[DefiledVisions]

ahh yeah D@niel styled portraits! good shit keep it sexxeh

[Andrew Sonea]

Woah man, you're really good. That D@niel style SP is pretty awesome, but something about it feels a bit...dead? I think it is just a bit too desaturated overall. Still it is really solid (if you say digital is foreign to you then maybe I should quit now haha).

[Loathsome]

That monk guy looks pretty neat. I like the oldmasters color pallete it has.

[zou]

nice sb, you're concentrating on rendering ! it could help me to learn about it !

Zou- Thanks!

John Silva-

Alright, got some painting stuff to goof around with before uploading, but here are some sketches from the bar last night! They got kind of choppy as the beers started flowing, but I kind of enjoy them, gotta get this whole wesburt sketchbook page composition thing out of my system, purging the hard drive! Cheers

[Lav]

very nice update! i especially like the last page, i think we should conclude from this that you should drink more beer when you're sketching

[Luckers]

You're more than welcome. I have to admit its for my own pleasure mostly
Loving the rendering in your sketches, yumm!

[ryan mcshane]

dont get that composition of your pages out of you! that'd be arrogant ;_;
