Always a pleasure to check out your designs dude. The rendering on the creatures are pretty good.

One thing I notice is that a lot of your renderings have all super sharp edges, possibly try experimenting with keeping sharp edges in the focal point and softer edges everywhere else, but yeah just a thought man! Keep it up!

this is a creature i did about a year ago but never posted. it was one of those pieces that you do that is totally above your talent level but somehow you made it? at least thats how i felt at the time :b anyways i posted the thumbnails i used too

[ninaren]

the rendering on the skin reminds me of something in alien. Love the definition on the muscles. Thumbs looks great. what can I say. Awesome stuffs, keep em coming and thanks for the comment in the SB ))

[Greenhouse]

Interesting creature in the last update. At first sight I thought it was a chicken ^^, silly me! Is it a wip? I would love to see more of that kind of stuff. Keep on rockin!

[Kambei Shimada]

Hey Dude, Some of those figure studies are rad.

Recent creature studies are good too.

[kevin_]

ninaren-thank you and no problem!!
greenhouse-thank you and i hope you are talking about the thumbnails cuz i see it there :b and no it isn't a wip but if you see something that needs work let me know and ill try and fix it
kambei shimada-thanks!

so here are some pencil studies i had up yesterday but think link got messed up cuz i tried resizing them and failed. w.e i guess :b anyways these were pretty quick and just did em cause havent done anything like this in a while -_-

[Gpozzo]

Man that last creature you did came out really nice, and so did those two pencil studies, very very nice updates

[CommandoFilis]

Great stuff Kevin! Man, I wish I did more work like that when I was 18 :C.

I would suggest to maybe do more pencil/digital studies from life along side photos.

Keep 'em coming O: !!

[LordLouis]

Wow I love your pencil works Digital is good too, but I really dig your pencil shading.

[zou]

hi dude

thanks for stopping by my sb

as a critic:
your drawing are pretty nice, but i think you could go more sketchy and unleash your arms to do some free strokes (more painterly)

keep up your good work

[LtPlissken]

Looking at the first page, your highlights that you have posted
from the previous sketchbook, those drawings and paintings are amazing,
and they are already on another level, compared to the works that I usually
see around here. This drawing got my attention very much, I cannot believe that you managed to
do that shading and lines, I am shocked. You are a true master blaster. Also some of your environments
are breathtaking, at least for me. I cannot remember your sketchbook from earlier, I think I missed it somehow, but
now I realize the damage that I did to myself. I run through these eight pages, and I saw something fantastic,
didn't read much of your comments, sorry about that, but I will be coming back I guess. If I have to give
a crit, than it's that your characters a bit stiff sometimes, and as an advice is to study dynamic
poses, and try to implement some fluidity into their motion. Nothing big overall, you
are already great, walking on a path of a true warrior. Take care,
and update more my friend.

[Ludic]

Cool stuff man, especially your pencils, love the rendering, pretty sure this one's my favorite out of all of them http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...k/CIMG0017.jpg

[j.zhang]

lookin' good kevin, that creature design looks cool, esp. the texture on it =]

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Keep it up!
It takes time and effort and you can't speed up time so you have to add patiences to the list.

[Flashback]

Thanks for the comment Kevin_. Awesome creature design. You've really come a long way!

[asa]

you have some cool studies here and also lots of cool concept ideas
I think it would be nice to stay on one of those ideas a bit more and detail the concept
keep up the good work

[will123will]

Lovin' that latest creature design, also the pencil sketches and guns look great too, keep it up

[phoenicorn]

Impresive works here. Love your colour studies on page one. Keep it up

[kevin_]

commandofilis-thanks and i will try and get the studies going again!
lordlouis-thank you very much, i spent a lot of time with pencil before getting to digitals

so here i rendered out two of the thumbnails for my guns. i wanted a military look, i think next time i want to go full on scifi

[Greenhouse]

Great work with pencil studies, the girls are looking good!

[niall`]

Everything looks so clean!
Neat combinations of soft/hard edges, certainly gave me a hint what should I work on.

[Flaskpost]

great lookin things, impressive work on describing different materials too. i always find that hard to do

[LtPlissken]

Your weapon design sweetness
is dripping like melted honey,
from the frozen jar.

[kevin_]

greenhouse-thanks!
niall-thanks and i think its something i myself need work on too
flaskpost-thanks and its all in the studies :b
ltplissken-haha thanks man!


some more thumbnails, actually the enviro things are more speed paintings...anyways rendered two of the swords too

[Flaskpost]

yeah man, studies is the way to go! really slick weapon designs!
the top row feels very ceremonial, not very practical, and the bottom row the other way around.

[Jaik]

Nice updates man! Those figure studies are really looking sweet. Interested to see those sword silhouettes fleshed out!
Thanks for visiting my sb

[LtPlissken]

Solid sword silhouettes.
Rendering out some of them would be great.
My favorite is the second in the first row,
but I would made a more pointed end.

[Bowandbrush]

Great weapon designs and really good pencil renderings!

[Othrandir]

those are some pretty damn cool swords man!
and don't worry about the sketch , it's good to let go of stuff that turned out shitty , keeps us sane

[kevin_]

flaskpost-thanks and yeah i did it so that i could render two different styled swords
jaik-thanks!
mark487-?
ltplissken-thnaks and yeah it was bugging me a bit but i left it as is
bowandbrush-thank you!
rastaray-thanks and yeah i know what you mean

so lazy today...just slapped some colors on some old sketch
