wow great design and portrait .. i love your color and painting;

[kamikazel33t]

Man, I have to say! I love the use of your lines in you drawings. Your style is pretty awesome as well! I am not at your level at all but perhaps some value studies may be beneficial?

[Niam]

@ayoub66 -- thanks a lot : )
@kamikazel33t -- Thank you! : ) yeah, I need to do those, I slack on contrast and lighting (and many other things but..) haha thanks again for stopping by! : )

still playing around with photoshop : P thought a photo study might help me get use to it.

progress on the greenish thing
made the colors less bright, still trying to clarify things out : /

[eroquii]

Don't have much to say for critiques, but I wanted to say that I am blown away by your work. Simply amazing! *_*

[lionheartGFX]

holy crap just holy crap, expect work to come your way if you can get the right people to look at your projects! btw how did the art market card thing go?

how long have you been practising man? and what sort of practice do you do, id love to know! please keep us posted in the future i really like your stuff!

[Niam]

@eroquii - thanks!
@lionheartGFX- thanks! they ran out of stands for the market : ( was too slow to sign up. Been drawing on everything since I had memory, but only been serious these past few years : P . Life drawing helps a lot! carry a sketchbook everywhere you go and draw everything you see anytime you can! eat with your left hand while drawing with your right! (or the other way around if you're left handed :/ ) stalk people with a pencil in hand when taking the bus/train/metro/hogwarts express(still a train but..) : P just keep drawing!


update on the green tower thingie


and a new thing I'm working on :

[Cerasela]

[AlexTooth]

Very cool sketchbook, so many good ideas, nice drawings, colours, characters -great!

[Niam]

@Cera-- Thanks Cera!! couldn't make it without your crit : )
@Whirly -- Thanks : D
@AlexTooth -- Thank you so much!

update on the ruins..can't really tell that its ruined buildings : / alot of things still not clearified
need to study some building structures

a new pic I've started, the compo is too much based on the left : / thinking of adding more canvas to the right in order to add stuff to balance it


screen cap studies!

photostudy + doodle : P


want to design a game map-ish pic, a chinese inn or something like that
found out that I know nothing about chinese architecture D:
I have failed at being asian.... (._. )
therefore chinese architecture studies!

[Cerasela]

wow niam huge update ;P , maybe for the ruin pic it can help if you try to clarify the windows and door, make some of them important in the rock formation, also you could make birds flying out a window or smth, your colors are again very nice . I think the ladder in front disturbs a bit maybe try it relocate more in the background ,look how it works? love the chinese inn house ,cant wait to see it finish

[Niam]

@Cera-- thanks so much Cera!! : D yeah i should do that, planning to detail/finish during chinese new year break, thanks for the crit! D: wo ai ni! XD

havent posted for a week D:
been drawing my map with chinese building
finally done with the lines and starting to color

another study of chinese architecture + other stuff



found a picture that dated back to 2005 D: (oh gosh)
i was like 12 o_o

also i was so obsessed with lin feng mian (chinese artist)

after that i dived into shoujo manga before drawing the stuff i draw now
its fun seeing how the style changes (and scary knowing that i actually showed people these old works *shudders* )

ANYWAYS D:
