Mr. Corlan's Sketchbook

[Metal Fingers]

Seriously awesome stuff in here, really digging the oils.

[idenzel]

your really roughs look awesome, they inspire alot of ideas!

[kingkostas]

damn man, these sketches are inspiring!!!

[Spudonkey]

wow, great work!

[NickyBeats]

since you painted over one of my loose sketches, i figured i just had to return the favor. i have no clue if this was what you had intended this thumbnail to become, but i kept seeing this big mech with a ruined city in the bg, like it was just the scene of an epic giant robot battle... haha i started this as my warm up for today, then got a little carried away...

anyways, hope you dig !

[lionheartGFX]

hi, just here to add my share of appretiation for this awesome stuff youre making, its completely gorgeus, specially the way you work on light and shadow, the values are spooot on, and thus the depth and volume blast thorugh my monitor, its just amazing specially your traditional, the atmosphere its so easily read its scary!!

please dont stop posting man, its an honor having you among us wish you the bests of luck in anything you work on.

Cheers

[Mr. Corlan]

@Ludic - Thank you again, sir!

@Metal Fingers - Ahh, the great Metal Fingers. Thanks man!

@Denzel - Thanks! That's good.

@kingkostas - Thanks Kostas!

You know, if any of you guys want to steal my stuff for coloring, paintover, whatever, feel free, and let me know what you come up with.

@Spudonkey - Thank you!

@NickyBeats - Booyaa! Yes!! Yeah, that's pretty much what it was supposed to be, only mine was a bit more alien, ill-defined, and implausible, haha. Yeah, love the robot, nice reflected light there. And you got the foreground better than I managed. I may have to rip you off a bit if I ever get back to this. Cheers mate!

@lionheartGFX - Thank you sir, I appreciate it. I've been focusing on studying light recently, so that's good to hear.



A couple little doodles for now. A paintover of NickyBeats's sketch, and another something that started out as a paintover and turned into an iffy figure study.

[Mr. Corlan]

@tj0ri - Waschbär! Yeah, I remember you. You randomly vanished without a trace for some reason. Welcome back, and thanks!

[tj0ri]

hahaha yeah ,thanks man love the first one man! the roughs looking interesting as well

[Ludic]

That top one, stables maybe? It's so freakin' gorgeous looking man, great work!

Edit; thanks for the reminder to post, I totally forgot I had a sketchbook ;P

[Metal Fingers]

This one is really dope, colors and shapes are nice. The traditional stuff is always nice too, though Cheers!

[Flashback]

Good thing, you decided to stick around. Great stuff, Mr.Corlan.

I like these two.

[Somelar]

cool stuff.
nice feeling

[Revidescent]

Wow, your oils are beautiful. I love the sense of light you have in your work.

[MeteorCat]

I agree with Rev. Your work is so different from the stuff you usually see. Not really sure why but I can't stop looking

[Mr. Corlan]

@tj0ri - Thanks!

@Ludic - Hey, thanks! It's the underside of our barn. Haha, yeah you'd better remember that. I'll check it out.

@Metal Fingers - Metal Fingers! Thanks!

@Flashback - Hey Flashback, thanks a lot!

@Somelar - Thanks

@Revidescent - Good to hear, and thanks for the inspirational sketchbook.

@MeteorCat - Thanks! Haha, you'd better check out Velocity Kendall's SB then, but don't come back here immediately after, or my stuff will look trite as heck.


. . . some paintovers and doodlies . . .

[Mr. Corlan]

[Ludic]

Love the amount of detail and work put into this one man. Fantastic

[Spellsword95]

You must have nerves of steel to draw something like that house. Shading every wooden plank in different tone... I applause you.

[DefiledVisions]

Very nice stuff man! Love the sense of space in your drawings and sketches. Looking at this kinda gives me the same creepy feeling I when I finish a glass of ice-cold coca cola.. part of me screams "GIVE. MORE. NAOW"

[Hyunjae]

wow, awesome moods in post 519

[Lightship69]

Hi matey

Hope you are bursting with health and happiness, and a very happy christmas to you old chap!!

I think that from your latest batch of goodies I like the barn interior, the pencil sketch of the barn and the Dragon, I think the dragon has the most feel to it, it has a brooding menace and I almost expect to see some drool or slobber dripping from its jaws!! LOL

all the very best to you my mate, stay well and keep posting.

[Mr. Corlan]

@Ludic - Thank you sir!

@Spellsword95 - Haha. Nah. It was just mindless listening to an audiobook and scribbling in semi-random rectangles. Thanks though!

@DefiledVisions - Ahhh, the great DefiledVisions! Thanks a lot, sorry for the wait! I love those dragons you have on your website!

@Hyunjae - Thanks!

@Lightship69 - Thanks chum! But of course, I burst with jollyness every time you stop by! Thanks pal, and merry Christmas to you also. I did this little silly painting for you (posted in your SB too).


Sooo, some stuff. I just vastly upgraded my digital painting equipment, so I was just doodling these spheres to test out brushes and such.

[Mhugo]

Fantastic sb mate, i just enjoy browsing through it, full of great inspiration. That house in post #528 is a killer, the amount of detail is insane you really must have quite some patience...

[Shadow Stalker]

Beautiful updates, mate.

[hücumkedi]

fuckin awesome oils man! and the concept are really unique ,a bit dark looking ....

[lionheartGFX]

oh god every update here screams of brilliant vision and execution, looking thorugh here for like idk 4th time? hahaha it just makes me think that vision its really the most important asset we have as visual communicators, if you dont have something interesting to say or show why do you work in this field right? anyways i hope im not such a wuss this year and start giving color a go so i can start (or try) to copy some of your stuff, specially some thumbnails just scream energy and action (one of the many reasons i believe your paintings feel so alive) also values i could do picking up some value knowledge from so many good works, never stop posting! and i would really appretiate if you could ellaborate your process sometime cant wait for the next update!

[Soja]

AWESOME SKETCHBOOK!!! Love everthing you do! But your oils they kill me!

[jwaphreak]

wow-
