Hey there, I am aspiring artist and I'm gonna post my art here.

I am striving to become concept artist and/or illustrator in entertainment industry, mostly games. I will post here my unfinished digital paintings, studies and random drawings from sketchbook. I'd really appreciate any critics and comments :p



↓Thumbnail, don't mention it...

[Spellsword95]

From up to down:
Sketches, more sketches, unfinished Batman fanart, Tyrael from Diablo III, "God Of The Forest" progress (I did'n finish it yet - too busy playing PC games), Near-finished entry for "Dracopedia" contest. I am really proud of this one :p

Special thanks to my crappy scanner that enjoys messing with contrasts and quality. I hope you'll burn in computer-hell you piece of junk...

[Kaihartj]

hey man! sick! Loving those concepts! amazing sketches!

[SmileWithStyle]

Wow, those are some awesome sketches

Especially like the Tyrael drawing (being a D2 fan), and also the creature in the snow!

[Stpete]

awesome sketchbook!! good luck!

[Spellsword95]

Thank you all for comments
Little update. Added some details, skeletons of dead vikings, spears, swords...

[Tagachi]

Loving that update! Can't wait to see it finished!

[Veshkau]

finish this one please.. http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1340199836

looking great!

[Spellsword95]

Veshkau: Sure. But first I need to finish that dragon before 24th June. And then I'll continue working on forest giant

[Qikalain]

hey great dragon-thing. will you add color to it or do you paint everything in b/w?

[Spellsword95]

Qikalain: Yeah, I'll color it later. Don't know how yet, I never did it before. Its gonna be white/blue/gray palette I guess...

[Mr.Ebony]

Love the sketch of the undead priest.

[Spellsword95]

Decided to fix it a bit. The round thing in snow is a shield...

[lord_regenschirm]

Damn, you're good! And still so young ... fortunately I got to the point not to be too depressed about peoples ages in here would't help anyone anyways ... ^^

[Spellsword95]

Fuck that. I can't draw people...
Here we go, final version:

[JoshDArtist]

Dude, I hope you are doing that in layers, because you CAN do people. Don't overthink it. Just friggin do it. The composition deserves it, the piece deserves it. It's a killer piece, don't wuss-out on it!!!!!
RAWR!
Also, can't wait to see the Forest God finished!!!
Keep up the great work man!!!

[Spellsword95]

JoshDArtist: Hey, you just really made me feel better about myself Problem is, that deadline is 25th June. Now is 24th, almost 5 at morning, I see sunrise outside and need to sleep. I already sent it into challenge.
Now I can go back to working on Forest Giant.
Thanks for commenting and cheering up!

Sketches: Shaman, Wolverine and arabian warrior. Pencil on paper, then quick digital lights.

[ChisLu]

Great work! I'm amazed by your creatures!

[Psychobuddy]

That shaman is great...and man put the dude back in...that creature needs someone cowering in front of him...it makes the whole scene make sense.

[Spellsword95]

Thank you, guys.

School is over and I have a lot of free time. In fact I am bored all day. So I want to improve my skills as much as possible for these two months of holidays. I'll try to draw everyday and upload now stuff ASAP.

[Spellsword95]

Decided to practice some creature designs / facial expressions. Uruk-Hai orcs and cave troll chasing hobbit.

[Spellsword95]

Surtr - flame of Ragnarok. He will cross the rainbow bridge to Asgard and cut the world tree. Final war - Ragnarok - will begin and Gods and creatures of nine worlds will die in their last stand.
Then, we are fucked... Yea, Norse mythology is badass.

He has no legs because I'm lazy to finish them. Same thing with strange left arm...

[Spellsword95]

Something similar to previous one.

[Spellsword95]

Quick sketch of long dead astronaut. By 'quick' I mean about few hours in my case...

[GoblinEgg]

nice line work you got there. and that astronaut has probably seen better days

[Spellsword95]

Another load of quick sketches. First one is guy with pet polar bear. Without reference, so it kinda sucks. Second is mockingbird and walrus. From photo refs of National Geographic.

[Caio Chagas]

Hello There! Nice SB buddy! i'm a little curious about your coloring process, but anyway, you're doing great, just keep it up and you'll make it.

[Spellsword95]

Forget what I said months ago. I didn't pay much attention to drawing and made almost nothing. There are few examples of my laziness.

[Spellsword95]

I was killing time in sketchbook, drawing monsters. After hours spent in Photoshop I came out with this guy. Not a final version yet, I am posting this to prove that I'm alive.
Partly inspired by smoking caterpillar from Alice In Wonderland. And yeah, that crow is embodiment of light.


And detail of face and hand. My most detailed work ever, yay!
