hmm, keep pushing those values bro, make that PIGGY SQUEAL!

[AustenFM]

howdy, i really like how those fox troopers back there turned out. Though they lose a bit of impact with all the soft coloring. Maybe toss some hard lines around certain edges for a bit more definition.

yup yup, things are looking good. keep it up!

[adamsimons]

bros and dudes, thank you.
spent most of my week away from my desk so there is not a lot to show.
polishing the fox piece is on my todo list for next week, along with the pig.
and after that? maybe something without animals.

did a study of a russian painting yesterday, dont know the name of the original artist.

have continued with bammes and am enjoying it so far.
some copies, studies from an anatomytools statue and some from arnold.

[JamesSimons]

Keep up the studies Bro!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

keep it up!

[teapo]

the anatomy studies are great bud! love the crosshatching you're doing great~

[adamsimons]

bros and dude, thank you.

here are the results of an inconsistent week, enjoy!

spent some time on monday tweaking this, will give it another pass next week and put it to bed(and cghub, da, flickr etc')


here is a sketch i did while playing with the colour dynamics settings in the brush pallete and some eye studies.

and most of what i sketched in the past week.

[JamesSimons]

Nice studies!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

[adamsimons]

thank you bros.

after spending a few weeks feeling a bit lost, i am starting to get a better sense of where i am going work and study wise.

some sketchbook pages from the past week.

a photostudy with a filter on top.

this is still a bit fuzzy, i think make another pass on this.

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Nice job bro!

[~Twig]

I am really liking the fox concepts. Try pushing the values a bit more and play around with levels.

[Aresa]

my sketching for the week.

i having another tilt at making games.
trying keep it fun, by working good bits (art/design) while working through a tutorial.

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Good work!

Must watch. This man is almost as incredible as you!

[AustenFM]

Fox trooper update looks killer, much better contrast and form than the last one i saw.

On a side note, with all the japanese commercials, have you seen the robocop fried chicken commercial, its one of my favorites~

Anyway, good stuff, all of the studies, both facial and muscular are really paying off. keep it up!!

[JamesSimons]

dang. really getting down to the nitty gritty of things in here xD. studies are getting more technical and still keeping on with that sense of humor in your doodles eh?

[adamsimons]

j-bro: *winks*
c-bro: thanks
teapo: thanks, i'm trying to keep a balance between study and drawing for myself. and that's james in the portrait, otacon with a 'stache is a good description of james .
