Ramalooke's sketchbook

[Ramalooke]

Cheers for all the comments. I appreciate them

Some shit from last couple days. Trying to keep regular updates around here.

[Mat Kaminski]

Awesome on the MMA fighters... do you have any links for those images? I would like to try doing some MMA studies myself.

What is that Three-Hour study of up there... I'm trying to figure it out so that I can tell what I'm looking at lol.

Just keep on truckin' you're on a roll.

[LtPlissken]

So much time since my last visit, but please do not
think that I forgot about you. I am here again, accepting
the tons and tons of improvements, and seeing the great
amazement. How did you improved so fast? You have
been working like a beast I bet you did. The results are
stunning. Over the last half year or year you did huge
steps toward success. It is more than amazing, you
are a proof, what a man can do. The skin rendering
is so on another level than before, truly inspiring.
I will keep on observing the paintings a bit more
and enjoy this beautiful day. You keep on
doing what you are doing, cause victory
awaits you behind that next cliff.

[Ramalooke]

Thanks guys

Trying not to be such a lazy ass.

Nice new stuff Ramalooke. I especially like the boxer studies.
Nothing to crit really, just keep updating, you are doing well!

[warburton]

Great to see you back dude, and the improvements you'e made in your absence are equally as great.

One crit i could mention, which ive noticed in all your recent updates, is your use of the soft marks and edges. Its makin your pieces kinda blurry and muddy and its distorting your values slightly. Try to balance them with some hard edges.

Keep postin man, its great watching your progress.

[RBeek]

u doing great man long time since ive been around this place, but you certainly have improved loads keep it up man! ill try to check in here more often

[kevin_]

cool sb, some major progress in here! keep it up!

[Ramalooke]

@Satu
Thanks! xd

@wrarburton
Yeah, still trying to figure out this style. I think i slowly getting grasp on it. But yeah. It can get a little blurry especially in sketch phase.

@RBeek
Cheers. Hope to see ya here more often.

@kevin_
Thanks

Here's some stuff from last week.

[Ramalooke]

Some stuff from last week.

[shiNIN]

I wasn't here lately, sorry.
The gal with the rod seems to have her neck a bit too far and her stance isn't so great either and her face is slightly big or something. Sorry if it doesn't help.
I dig your latest enviros. I can't give a proper crit, I just enjoy the shapes and warm colors in them.

[Ramalooke]

Thanks. I appreciate your comment

Had pretty bad week. Dunno what happened, but i didn't get anything done. Feeling pretty bad about it. Hope this week will be better. Started old bloodsports challenge "Swamp Elder" and did similar exercise sickbrush did a while back. go check out his work. he does some really cool stuff.

[Harmageddon]

Wow, you've improved leaps and bounds in the past year! Inspirational.
Your studies and otherwise hard work is definately starting to pay of.
I like the variety in your work. Your anatomy is still wonky in places, but
that just takes some time. You might also want to drop the level of detail in the
far background in your environments, and tone down the color intensity in the distance
as well. Other that that, keep pushing!

[Ramalooke]

@Harmageddon
Hey, cheers for all the hints . I really appreciate them :>


Ok. Less stuff this time. Got some small freelance gigs. But I started to study feets! I never did that ;o. They are freakin' hard ;o.

Btw. Any tips on time organization. It seems that I'm loosing a lot of time and don't even notice it. Thanks!

[Ramalooke]

Hey it's me again. Just wanted to share finished version of tree dude. hope you like it ;p

[shiNIN]

In general, looks good
I personally find the light of the firefly things too perfectly round and some of them might not be positioned that well, maybe they are too big too? Something definitely troubles me about them but just slightly. The branches in the outline should get a little more attention, they are a bit messy and against the light background it's quite apparent.

[luthertaylor]

Rama rama ramalooke!!!!! You're here! once again, not sure if the hassle of jumping between 2 sites is good. On the plus site! I came across your awesome artwork! but if I keep this site consistent and make the effort to comment on others. I think it would be inevitable that I would have found you here.

Thank you for the post to the CD thread! and your work is coming along greatly! Keep it going!

[Ramalooke]

@shiNIN
Thank you! ;3

@luthertaylor
Heeey. Cheers for the comment . I rarely visiting conceptart.org cuz this virus issue. Maybe I'll be active again here. But I doubt it. I prefer much more crimson daggers forums.

Got some freelance jobs. So I was pretty busy last week. Did less stuff than I wanted. Here's some anatomy and quick environment speedpaintings. Messed around with photo texture. It wass fun.

[Ramalooke]

Busy with client work that I can't show. Didn't want to post at the first time, cuz I don't have much to show. But Need to remind about myself once a while ;p. Some more practice with photo textures, and witch wip that I'm working on.

[Alex Eh]

Nice to see updates keep it up!

[dhilipsomesh]

pleaserefer http://idrawgirls.com/tutorials/draw-faces/

[Ramalooke]

Oh, hey. It has been a while. Hope I'll bee able to update more often in next week. And in general be more active. Till then I'm posting some oldies.

[Ramalooke]

Been very very busy lately. Trying to reclaim my free time so I can study, do personal work and be active again. In the mean time here's some thumbnails and quick sketches. Most of them are rejected stuff. So I guess it's ok to show them here.

[Nemome]

You no update your sketchbook right before I update ma sketchboooookeeee duuuude!

Update looks very cool.
I love your design of the houses. Very sharp and clean linework.
Nothing to say that I wouldn't have told you in skype.
Go Rama, go rama, goooooo rama! ^_^

[in2eternity]

Wow, love that creepy green creature))) Very nicely done! Also concepts are very good too, nice lines and perspective)))

[Alex Eh]

Not much to say, just keep it up!

[LtPlissken]

Your work is a true evidence, how persistence and never giving up
is a vital ingredient on the road to success. You are working hard and diligently
since I met you, and I just cannot believe my own eyes, your improvements, and
evolution, beyond imaginable. Lazy ducks will never get a real chance, but hard working
ones will live to see their success. The graphite pages helped you a lot to understand
values and shapes right, and I bet you have plenty of those which you did not posted here.
You have must be working day and night to get to this level. You have pushed your environment
paintings also to another level, This one is looking beautiful,
I like the mood within. That witch over the cauldron is creepy, like the face and the evil eye, that's definitely what I enjoy over a
digital painting. The ship and space platform designs are beyond my understanding, I do not know what to say,
just to admire. Positive feelings, I am motivated to do something big after watching your art.
Do share something more with us, I am very eager to see the next updates.

[Flaskpost]

good stuff in here! those small houses are awesome! makes me wanna do some of those as well

[Ramalooke]

Thanks guys. Much appreciated ;3

Oh boy. Here's some recent stuff. Gonna try to update on regular basis again.

[Rotor]

You've progressed immensely.
Congrats on getting the freelance jobs.
Keep rocking it man.
