Thank you for the excellent crits DefiledVisions! I will keep all that in mind from now on! Hopefully, it will start showing soon.

Work in Progress Zombie Heads for Half-Life 2 mod BrainBread Source ...

[CarstenJ]

Hi,

the 2nd face looks more than a zombie than the first.

I think you should paint the edges more sharp, like you did for example in post #1. The "blurry" effect doesn't create the illusion of depth.

Recent studies. Stay tuned for more updates (got tons of almost finished stuff).

[DennisH-Art]

Pose studies. 15 seconds, 30 seconds and 45 seconds.

Some recent studies and similar:

Some of the stuff i've done recently.

Try using some harder brushes with your digital stuff. They're especially good for places you want to draw the eye towards -- the sharp definition attracts attention -- and softer brushes are better for aspects of the portrait you don't want the viewer to linger on.

I think also your pencil shading could use some work. Right now it looks quite messy, and I think doing some value studies will help you here because they look flat. I do like their character though, and the figure studies at the top of your last post are really well done.

Keep it up!

[Trixtar]

I totally like your pose studies!
-And also the gorilla you have on page 2

Your studies are great and the Comic short story on the first page is hilarious
Keep it up. You can see much improvement already.

[DennisH-Art]

Last batch of studies. Im also gonna update with my personal work, but that will take a day or so longer . Cheerio!

[liquorbleu]

Your digital portraits are seriously amazing, they are so clean and life like! I love those studies!

[DennisH-Art]

@liquorbleu. Thanks a lot! Your to sweet!

Some recent stuff. More to come:

[marlene]

you super coool

[dawnusllaw]

You are a machine! great work here, and definite improvement, too. I have to repeat what's been said before though, alot of your digital work lacks a hard edge and cast shadows need to be darker also. I would like to see more (finished) traditional work as well, it will help you down the road with your digital stuff. Keep it up!

[DennisH-Art]

Let's do daily updates from now on!

[Aaron_]

Hey, lots of hard work here. The portraits are looking good, although the structure is definitely lacking in them. Maybe try to actually draw out the distinction between side plain and front plain would help. And this shows up a bit on the paintings as well.

I like the paintings from movies a lot, the Silence of the Lamb guy(forgot his guy) is awesome!

Keep up the good work!

[DennisH-Art]

Some random pages from my Sketchbook. Made like 70 pages worth of sketches since I last updated with sketchbook pages, hope it's atleast a wee bit of improvement there.

All from imagination. No refs.

[DennisH-Art]

First study of the day.

W.I.P personal work. Creepypasta man.
