[JS Neo]

Finally u updated ! Even though i have seen them in real life and they do look better in real life, i still must say they look great ! We want more ... we want more...

[arghmisfit]

Shit Zord, this stuff is looking good!.. major improvements since last time i checked.

keep it up

Those pigeons and cat pics are the bomb and all the pics on that post. Great stuff

[wookiedabo]

phuck man, those pieces are fantastic, the cat-owl-person image in particular, right up my street in terms of style and execution. the owl on it's own has some lovely strokes too, and I love the simple line framing it. Honestly, I could probably go on for while with this, but suffice to say it's great stuff.

[SirGreenSock]

Sexy panceels Johnny! Wicked improvements!
Don't let yourself get tooo influenced by koppa though!

[Pixie Bergman]

Lovely pencils, they look EVEN better in real life. You are improving in leaps and bounds! More!

some bits and pieces

[MacTire]

Awesome stuff man! For some reason the last piece in post #851 reminds me of the sketches of Gottfried Helnwein. Great stuff, keep it up!!

I particularly like the last two and the graphic elements you've added in.
Those were the bikes from Haji Lane right?

[hala]

srsly, i love your work!

[JParrilla]

I really like your pencil stuff.. great sbook man

[Carnifex]

that first owl rocks. (literally too )

[guggemmaneuver]

johnny johnny johnny JOHNNY!

holy hell you've gotten so much better...the bird studies are really fun, but as a crit, isn't the bird's hearing organ through an orifice in the top of their head? So if a bird was wanting to listen to some music, it should wear some hat with audio conveying capabilities. the nicer the audio quality, the cushier the headwear. what. am. i. talking. about? haha...

definitely nice work up in here. i've got to get out there for a visit sometime!

great to see the levelling up on all fronts.

[Zord]

John - Thanks man, I appreciate it.
hala - You're too kind, thanks!
biggjoee5790 - Thanks!
Carnifex - Yes sir you're right, thanks!
GuggEmma - Yes you're right about the owl 'ears.' I think they're located behind the eyes under some feathers or something? The owls have been a collaborative effort with a friend and her idea was great so I ran with it Thanks for stopping in! I hope you're well.

Here's another owl and a deer

[JS Neo]

Sweet stuff johnny..!! I love how u combined traditional and digital into a great design piece, though i haev problem separating the digital from the traditional. Is the background for the deer piece digital or traditional? It has a really nice watercolor feel to it...

[hala]

I WANT THAT OWL. I love its eyes.
The doe's snout seems a bit short, but i love it's big ears and the style

[JailHouseRock2]

Duddddddddddddeeeeee this stuff looking so good!

You've got a fantastic line quailty to your sketches!

Keep em' coming,
matt

[Zord]

MydrakNEO - The majority of the piece is traditional. The background is an acrylic wash, the deer was drawn in pencil, and then inked over with my trusty brush pen. The only thing digital is the half tone patterns. Funny thing is that I was packing my stuff away and decided to re-work it to a point where I was satisfied. The sketch almost ended up in the trash. Hope you're well and see you soon, dude.

hala - Thanks! You're right about the snout, was just done way too quickly.

JailHouseRock2 - Thanks!
