Hey razz, hope you dont mind, but i did a quick paintover of your child thief piece as i wasn't sure how to crit it without visual aid. I moved the arms because, even tho your latest version felt much better then the previous, i still thought that that pose was kind of awkward, i also added some hair because the head felt a little flat on the top and lastly i moved some branches here and there. On the colours, i decreased the overall green tint a little, and added some saturation to make it stand out a little more.



The 3d models looks nice, can't wait to see it finished

[razz]

PolarPear, thank you for the kind words!

Ja1307, thanks so much! This illustration is starting to look the way I want my work to look like. Some more work left to be done.

G@m, wow, thanks for taking the time to do an overpaint, helped a lot! I've already worked on it, but no update in this post, still needs some lovin' and perhaps I'll post what I think will be a finished one. I especially like what you did with the background. Will be keeping my pose though. I like that it's not the kind of pose you see all around.



Made a concept that I will be creating in 3D, must practice!

[kevin_]

your work is amazing especially the environments! looking forward to more!

[Me,Myself & Me again]

Awesome sketchbook man! Really loves those environments especially the giant mushroom Alice ones =]

[Veshkau]

Great work! 2d and 3d alike

[razz]

Kevin, thank you! More is on the way.

Me,Myself & Me again, yeah, I should finish some of those...Thanks!

Veshkau, thanks for the kind words!


Finished my piece for the school project. Haven't been doing any work in my spare time, because my hands are killing me - eczema ;/

[ja1307]

Like the action and perspective in this latest one you have a good eye for composition. What kind of painting style is that background in or is it a 3dcreation. not so clued up about digital stuff but it does not look like regular digi painting but it works. You are improving a lot in terms of your ideas. Keep pushing.

[lionheartGFX]

such prettyful style you have sir, i want more, please?

[razz]

Ja1307, thanks, mate! It's 3D, with post production (mainly smoke) in Photoshop. Glad you like it ;]

lionheartGFX, haha, thank you ;]



I guess I'll call this one finished. I could work on it forever, but it's time to move on to something new.




Little photo study while test rendering the 3D illustration in previous post.

[razz]

Some new stuff. A little winter photo study and a thumbnail that I've chosen to paint as my next illustration ;] Happy holidays!!

[lionheartGFX]

damn that elf piece was so awesome it reminds me of the mtg cards love the colours and details, you could have incorporated some dust in the direction of the characters jump to get more action but im sure you are happy the way it turned out so onwards to better things! merry xmas and happy new year razz

[razz]

Lionheart, there's always room for improvement ;] Working on another piece already, fuck yeah! Thank you for the feedback, I'll keep it in mind. Happy new year!


Update! Some more work on the new illustration and then schoolwork. We have working on storyboards this past week, I'm showing just a tiny bit of those here, but there's not much to look at. Next week is design, loads of hard work, but I will hopefully have some cool stuff to show after.

[razz]

School assignments from this week. Atlantis weapon and ghost pirates attacking Venice. There was another one, fairy metropolis, but that one didn't turn out well, so you won't see it ;] I am going to be finishing the pirate one with colors nshit. Suggestions welcome!

[razz]

We're doing still life painting at school. Here goes. Day one and day two.

[TomSeas]

Awesome stuff, those still lives are really great, the colors are so vibrant.
Looking forward for more, and subscribed!

[Sase]

men which programm to create those enviroments???
do u cr

Shadow Stalker, yep, guilty. I did learn in the past few months the importance of doing research. Hopefully the next one will be better, thanks!

Yogeshj, I'm quite new to environments, glad you like it!

Rastaray, do you mean the elf archer in the first post or the dude with two swords? I like the one in the first post, planning to paint it someday perhaps, but the guy with two swords just lacks something and I can't quite tell what...Thanks for stopping by and the encouragement!


Finished the environments

[razz]

TomSeas, huge thanks to you! ;]

[/b]Sase[b], I work with Photoshop when it comes to 2D stuff.


Last still life from school, day 3. Didn't have as much time on this one, so kept it simple.

[llex_paul]

good studies and pretty good colors! keep up and try to do more landscape studies, i think now this is the week link. All the best

[Revidescent]

Wow, those still lives are fab. Great vibrant colours, love the reflections.

[razz]

llex_paul, thanks for the suggestion. I'll be sure to work more on that ;]

Revidescent, thank you, mate!


Did a little sketch of myself in stupid cold winter

[NickyBeats]

last sketch rocks! love the style dude. also those still lifes are amazing!! great detail!

[razz]

NickyBeats, thank you. I'm glad you like it ;]


Been doing some movie studies. Trying to spend only one hour on each. Really hard to do something good looking in an hour.

[Kvetch]

Great sketchbook mate, seems like you can work in a load of different styles. The still lifes, cartoon self portrait and the ghost pirates are all awesome. The SP in the first post is stunning too.

[Suira]

woa, this last page is like BOOM. I was cheking your stuff and the last post have really made an impression on me. The last still life looks freaking amazing, I'm more of a fan of loose stuff and I like it best amongst the three. And the last movie studies are ROCKING seriously. Specially the V from Vendetta, man that one, you totally nailed it dude, keep it coming, I'm eager to see what's next!

[razz]

Kvetch, thanks! Never had a distinctive style of my own. That's both good and bad I guess. I do like the more painterly stuff though ;]

Suira, thanks for the kind words! I'm real happy you enjoyed it. I'll try and keep impressing ;] Cheers!


One more movie study. One hour.

[Suira]

Woah dude, that's a hard one! Totally nailed it. I find specially hard to nail the likeness in this kind of thing and you just did it. I really prefer paintings like this, really fluid and on spot, it's amazing. Oh and thanks for the sugestion man, helped tons!

[GrayPersona]

really nice thread this,those last movie studies and still life are preety darn good I like how the golum one has focal lenght to it.
keep up the good work.

[razz]

Suira, glad it helped! Everything gets hard when you only have an hour to paint, but it does help concentrate on the important stuff. I enjoy giving myself this deadline with these. Otherwise I would just spend hours on it and detail them out and there's no need for that ;]

GrayPersona, thank you!


One more, one hour. Kingdom of heaven.

[ezekrialase]

Great work overall, and these movie screenshot studies are very good! That's something I need to be doing more of myself, so thanks for the inspiration

[razz]

Ezekrialase, thanks! Go do it!


We will be modelling a character for a project at school and I've started sketching out some designs. Just real fast for now, exploring the look I want. Going for sci-fi, future bounty hunter I think. Suggestions!?
