@ Dino & taka hardedges always giv me a problem wil look into it ..... @ green Thx man ... ur support means a lot guys .... here are a couple of sketches

[giby]

Here is a concept drawing for a new concept called resistance i wil be posting more images on it soon ;D

[giby]

Here is a update

[Morkai]

I know they were on the previous page, but I have to give you serious props for those hell thumbnails, they're like condensed imagination! And they read great for both content and composition, so they're pure win. Awesome stuff man, watching this sketchbook for sure!

[Black Spot]

I have a wide screen monitor and couldn't fit some of your pictures on it. The penultimate drawing of your dragon slayer showed a lot more tension than the finished one. Going from your studies, looks like you need to a ton more of them first. They sort of look like they were just thrown into your SB.

[giby]

@ Morkai Thx Man @ Black spot ..... i really didnt think abt the pictures sizes lol ... n i agree i need more studies

Here is a update on the rogue bot

[ozark]

You might want to resize your paintings so we can enjoy your awesomeness in a more compact size.

[giby]

@ ozark I sure wil make them smaller from now on

[razen_sketch]

nice mechs giby, also like the chinese building done with perspective.. any tips on that ?

[giby]

@ Razen Thx man .... here is a update on the rendering

[Rosesor]

Nice work! I like those buildings at the top of the page.

[liquidjack]

I like the stages the resistant mech is going through. Nice detail.

[giby]

@ Roser and Liquid ThnQ you .... here is a doodle

[Gibi]

Hey good stuff! I like the environments at #24! And that´s a pretty good username! :p

[self-epidemic]

The colours you are choosing are bad, you're not thinking beyond, hm, ground is brown! You have to do colour theory, actually understand things. Also all of your work is very, ugly. The form maybe there but its so scruffy and messy it just removes any aesthetics. Try to be more refined.

[giby]

@ Gibi Thx man lolz same name @ Self ....... wil look into it ..... tried out some basic lighting in maya ... and used water colours after a very very long time

[kevin_]

you have some nice designs and i like the environment stuff! keep it up!

[giby]

@ KEving thx again man ..... here are some works ...... some are unfinished may finish em later

I don't understand what's the purpose of unnecessarily harsh critiques like these, especially when the one doing the critiquing needs to work on the exact same things in her own work...

As for your work, Giby, it's all a great start, and as a fellow artist who hasn't had the chance to go to school for art, I love to see someone else trying hard to become as good as he can within what seems to be such restrictive means. You did some brief work with perspective, but I think some more involved study would be beneficial as well as construction studies. And I'd say values are much more of an important thing to understand right now than color. I read Sam Nielson's blog the other day and out of 7 important things to any piece he lists color choice as the least important yet value structure is around 2 or 3. Just something to think about. Keep up the good work and pace.

[MrFrenik]

Hey Giby, for value studies you need to learn accurate shadow construction, which should be part of your perspective studies. Scott Robertson has good dvd's on both drawing in perspective as well as rendering basic forms, but if you can't afford to buy any of those then there should be enough information online for free to help you out as well.

[giby]

Thx Frenik for ur support heres a update on the infected scientist

[qlotzan]

nice sketchbook, keep it up my friend

[rem92]

holy crap dude your pumping out quality at the moment; i love the line art, and more ofthen than not you convert it to really decent coloured images. im impressed!

infected scientist turned out really well!! looking forward to a lot more of this, youve got a real good thing going on.

[giby]

Thanks VK means a lot coming from u .... here is a concept about space pirates

[lionheartGFX]

agree with kendall completely, dude you are tearing it up lately what is your secret? hahaha but seriously would LOVE to see your process for a painting, also as a suggestion from time to time work in grayscale and try to get more and more values into the picture that will give it way more impact!

[Ol' Nick]

Awesome job so far, I'm seriously gonna watch this sketchbook more closely!

[giby]
