Hi there!
Wanna present you last stuff

[jellyswirl]

Wow I really love the textures you have in your images.And I love the details you made on the girls dress.

[monsi]

keep it up

a quick note with the walking animation. Walking is essentially a person falling forward and catching themselves with each step. So it's important to get a sense of that slight forward lean otherwise it looks pretty bizarre.

I like those tonal heads! especially the top left, because the tones in the shadow are very close and it all links together.

[Chr. Steam]

jellyswirl, thanks!

monsi, great words about walking. I`ve memorized that!=)
Thanks a lot!

[Cozmo]

Yeah, Christophe, I really like your work! How much do you do in Photoshop and how much is actual physical materials? Also, what kind of tablet do you use?

I like the way your paintings vary in complexity...some of them are very vague and tell a very different story than the more detailed ones. I think the dude eating ice cream (post #35) has to be my favourite.

[Chr. Steam]

Cozmo, Thanks, man. I dont time my process of drawing, but in PS i draw more often, then physical materials. I use pen or pencil (maybe charocoal) usually for sketching, and then make post drawing in PS.
I use wacom fan pen touch. Like it.) And you?

I made this work with certain feelings and glad, that somebody can understand and appreciate that.

hey thanks for stoppin by my sb i like your painting stlyle and the mood you can create with it. your environments are my favorite i like how your stuff is different and unique keep up the good work

[Cozmo]

I do most of my drawings with pencil (usually a mechanical pencil at that), but I really want to get back into pen-and-ink. For my regular job I use Photoshop CS4 and our design team has a couple of Wacom Intuos tablets that we all share. I'm left-handed, so the pen works really well for me. I've tried drawing from scratch in PS, but it's difficult because there's a disconnect between the pen and the screen. You know, I'm seeing the pen on the pad, but the lines show up on the screen, and that throws me off.

But you're doing well with it! Keep up the great work!

beautiful environments! the one with the robot in the forest is truly awesome! you have a strong color perception which is something I am struggling with.
your figures need some studies, all in time.
Is the police station concepts are all from head? or is it from ref or did you use ref part of it? just wondering because it's pretty good!

[ceriously]

Hey. I really enjoyed looking through this sketchbook. I have to say that I think that the environments are fab, particularly this one - http://s44.radikal.ru/i103/1006/a7/777be153fb96.jpg - along with the others of that series. Your paintings always seem to have a lot of character in the way they are painted, and these environments seem like you should find them in a book somewhere. I like the stuff in #56 as well. Awesome stuff!

[kingkostas]

yo mate really nice studies and animations!!love love them
your skills seem to be on a very good level, i think you are on the right track and dunno, even if i say more anatomy i think in some pieces you got very nice anatomy so its probably how much time you spend on a piece
very nice work, keep it up!!!

[meles]

You have a quite natural knack for lovely atmospherics in your color work. Work hard!

cheers

Rick

kingkostas, Thanks, mate! Glad that you stopping in my SB! =)


meles, thanks, dude!)

[surfandsnow]

The city stuff on the first page looks cool and the police station design looks good as well.
I think you should try to doing some life painting/still lifes to work on your values and rendering some more.

[Chr. Steam]

Danny_K, thanks!
About police station.. No of course I used some photo references!=)

ceriously Thamks, mate=) I glad that you appreciate it. This style for my animation project. Soon i`ll show it here. It`s very hard work..

surfandsnow
, Thanks, man! Yes, i know..
But i cant make myself go from damn PC and draw with pencil..(

[Chr. Steam]

Last ones and this from imagination. Is it okay?

[DaevidK]

здравствуй, thanks for visiting my sb...Your enviros are really good, and I like the technique you used on the last portrait, although the cheek looks a bit messy...but overall good work, keep it up

[Eric-Anthony]

nice stuff in here! color and value seem to be no problem for u. only advice i can give u is to work on your problems (hands and a bit anatomy) and u shud be fine. keep it up

[Chr. Steam]

Hi there!
I`ve got a batman and some studies))

[Danny_K]

Batman looks happy! that's good but I think he might need to eat some more and go to the gym and work out, he might have a problem fighting all those steroid muscle huge villains
keep it up with the studies.

[ColorExcursion]

Lovin the batman sketch, some really nice pieces in here man. Nice dedication on the poses!

[Chr. Steam]
