I quite like your orthotypes, do you also use these to create 3D models, or are they purely for referance?

Just an unfinished practice sketch..some semi anime or anything.this is all NO REFERENCE except for the girl with a mouse band thing i got problems on her sitting position so i decided to look at a mag with the same post.

[dan liimatta]

Nice update - I like the nurse, the daemon girl and the girl to the far right ~ (hidden under boxes).

&

Dunno how amazing SAI is for normal paintings - I think its just that people used it for anime and didn't really consider it for anything else - the bleed system is good and the program is light - and once you need to do lines its easy (I just wish the smooth lines applied for the lasso tool as well).

I simply started to use it due to speed and being too lazy to learn Painter at the time - and being sick of photoshop being so bloated.


& I meant that I'm probably too twisted not too see all your clothing & attire as being transparent at first glance when I look at your work - and that I have to correct myself and think that its only for clarity and not for the final nude look.

[JohanneLight]

I like your style. The faces are lovely and they have wonderful eyes. I have to explore this sketchbook from the beginning.

[The_Flying_Dutchman]

Dig your sketch pages, I think they have your strongest work. The digital pieces are also coming along nicely!

Keep posting.

[Odayga]

Like all your studies and the nurses expression haha :p

[teapo]

lovely lines as always dawn! hehe the face on the girl with the horns at the bottom is quite funny (are her eyes looking in separate directions < . > ??) xD

anyway good stuff. keep drawwwwwing

[Nkristian]

You're girls are beautiful ) heheh!! uy may send ako sayong personal message check mu.

[Hexokinase]

Nice sketchbook you got there. Love the rendering ability you demonstrate.

On a note regarding your last C.O.W., I feel that it too closely resembles the source inspiration material (Mr Jack's representation of a starcraft overlord):

I understand that the image was changed, but I just can't unsee the reference used. Perhaps incorporating a greater variety of reference materials could help that in the future.

Anyways, best of luck with your work

[Kungfoowiz]

Lull! =) Your faces are great bro! =) I'm really inspired! =) Thank You! =)))

Hexokinase :thank you so much!you are absolutely right i use it as my reference,i use it for my guides in the line and color picking or eyedropping colors.but i promise i really painted it..Yes my mistake i over copy the colors and the color style and stomp textures but again i was also experimenting on that and i got a little time to work on it so i decided to use it as my ref.thank you for the advice i will not use ref that much again and do not post this on my portfolio
Kungfoowiz :Thank you so much kungfoowiz

[dan liimatta]

meh - just programs - considering going back to photoshop myself ~ and its my pleasure.

[Nkristian]

have you receive my new message?

[Choob]

Nice stuff man, those sketches in post #152 are awesome, especially the girl under the boxes. Keep it up!

[Kungfoowiz]

Hey bro! =) No worries about the ref =) Gotta learn somehow I guess =) Have fun with your next piece and thank you for sharing your process =))) Keep well for now =)

[JohanneLight]

Your creature designs are amazing. I love the color choices since they blend so well and still makes it organic. ayos kababayan!

[Ludic]

You draw really pretty faces . And the process shot looks really cool.

[Seage]

Woah, loved your pencil work. It was great to see those characters, but your digital work surprised me. I wasnt expecting it to be that level, haha. Great work!

[Velocity Kendall]

theres so much life in these SD, love em.
did you ever read Hard Boiled? Im not a comic fan particularly but that is a masterpiece, both for the darkly sardonic storyline and astonishing, eyebending geoff darrow art work.

[Morte]

Wow, strange you have really grown from your first post until now. Great deal of improvement with your painting abilities. I did like how you posted your process of painting your last chow, it helps alot of people out that are just getting started out in PS, and want to know how people do it.

I also like your sketches, and i'd like to see you take those sketches farther and perhaps scan them into PS and paint them! Would be cool, since you seem to sketch pretty good poses.

Keep it up!

[strangedawn]

Nkristian:YUp

Oh well nothing to update.I am so busy at a moment lots of works to do and the bad thing in my little free time i still do something else(yaa been lazy ).as for now i will be off for a week again but i will post again and back to update again.

[The_Flying_Dutchman]

Nice work. Great detail in the last pieces, both in the digital and ink stuff.

Looking forward to more.

[mindwrack]

really awesome work! i love how you manage to balance clean and rough work!

[Loathsome]

Loving the Chow!
Can you please post a bigger res one? I'd love to see more of the details!

[Odayga]

Dude your monsters and drawings ROCK! Really inspirational!!

[Yefim]

How do you not have 5 stars yet?

[SableStorm]

Enjoyed looking at your sketches; the girls' eyes had good depth.

[SemperOne]

Wow! some really impressive work in here, i'm amazed by how clean your linework is!

[Pixie Trick]

Lovely page of head sketches. I can just imagine a whole storybook filled with the exploits of a band of barbarians. A thing I've noticed is that you have no problem giving the male characters character (referring to the page in post 152 as well) than the female. Perhaps a few studies of older women might help out? Just tweaking a few things such as brow depth and breadth and the fattiness of the cheek can make a face look female, rather than immediately falling back on a younger face and smoother skin.

[Hyptosis]

Great face/head studies! They all have such great character. The monster with the blue, shard, face, teeth, things is really slick too.

That supermarket pictures makes my head explode D:
