adorable style, keep it up!

[Overtoom]

Thanks Lakai! I will try to!


Quick practice in using some calmer colors, not relying on gradientmaps. Inspired by the great work of Thomas Scholes.

Hey thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. I especially like this one. You've got a great sense of color and composition in your paintings; Just looking around at some of your quicker paintings like that last one you posted make me want to try something similar.

[DennisH-Art]

Kickass stuff man! Instant watch on deviantart! I especially like the enviroment stuff (both the paintings and the thumbnails! Thoose are so much fun to do!)

[Overtoom]

Thanks you both, for the kind words


Here an illustration I did inspired by the Wintersday Event of Guild Wars 2.
And some 30 second gestures.

[Me,Myself & Me again]

WIP
Started off as a thumb toying around with the lasso tool, but I ended up quite liking it

[Kambei Shimada]

[DvrJeroen]

[Overtoom]

[Overtoom]

Here is a little progress shot of something I'm working on.

[AJM]

Awesome stuff! I like the way your pieces flow, if that makes sense haha.
Happy holidays.

[Sleep.less]

Hey,
Nice stuff you've got here. Especially like the environments.
Kinda reminds me on TomSchole's works.

[Overtoom]

Kinda reminds me on TomSchole's works.

That is certainly my greatest inspiration at the moment!
And thank you

AJM: Thanks, and happy holidays to you too!

[Cojac]

Great work. Keep posting.

[Syle]

Your enviroments are coming along VERY strongly. Fantastic color schemes/palettes.

[Overtoom]

Thank you very much both! Always glad to hear, keeps me motivated.


Something that didn't keep me motivated was this painting. Don't really like the composition, nor the palette. I felt like I was wasting my time on it, so I'll likely not finish this any further..

On this last enviro composition, I feel that the two big foreground trees are what's disturbing the piece. Try removing the middle foreground tree all together and then remove the right one too and instead place two trees in the middleground. That's my take on how you can clear the clutter. Also, have a little more variation in your browns. They all have this warm tone. Try bringing some cool tones from the back to create more depth.
Other than that, it's still a good piece.

Very nice mood and colours!)

[Magellan]

last three environments are awesome man! great colors! think I liked the colors of the last one better in the earlier version though keep it up!

Thanks a lot for the feedback! I indeed felt there was a lack of color range. I tried bringing in some blue/grey tones in an earlier phase, but utterly failed.
And good point regarding the tree. I thought of this piece as a still that could be from a movie, where the camera moved trough the trees. But I should realize that it can't be translated that easily :p

@n1frit: Thanks!
@Magellan: Thank you :3 I kind of did too, but felt it was too much of the same colorrange. So tried adjusting it. But not for the best


Here some pose scrabblings

[Overtoom]

Quick sketch on a sad robot, got the idea of Noah Bradleys facebook page.

[Overtoom]

Late update as my sketchbook seemed unaccessible, due to some malware trouble. Google chrome sent me back.

Here's some doodles I did.

[Overtoom]

Some strange environment for a project of someone. Colors and rock structure inspired by Theo Prins, check out his work!

[Overtoom]

When scaling my image down, photoshop makes it some sort of cripsy, like I threw an intense sharpen on top of it. Anyone knows how to turn this off? Wasn't that way on my previous computer, maybe it's a CS6 thing.

Either way, some touch ups on the previous work, and a new one, using structures of Thomas Scholes.

Hey I remember you from deviantart, this is mutiny. If I could give you one piece of advice, I'd say don't worry about style. Your style will develop naturally over time. Concentrate on content, what you want to say with your art. Everything else will fall into place with practice.
