Woa, I got an old beat up graphire just like that. Btw, I love the pencil texture on those pit walls. Just rough enough without stealing the show.

The top-down view of those dinosaurs looks great!
Nice colors and very eye-appealing.

[masque]

Shane, the dinos are excellent, lots of fun flowin' off those pics, like you really enjoyed doin' em, second one in partic'lar. thanks for sharing them!

[S.C. Watson]

I was violently reminded why I don't use .rif files with Painter yesterday.

Observe 9 hours of painting lost (yes, 9 hours. I paint slow and these are both fairly detail intensive and actually pretty big - 12 x 19 inches. I don't wanna hear it).


And here's the repaint:


Anyway, the goal is painting them as opposed to line art with ink wash.

Phlarg. Grump. Growl.

hey masque and emily. Thanks everyone for the comments!

[dakoscwash]

hey man that really sucks about the corrupted file. i can't even imagine how that feels, sorry. anyway i'm loving your work lately. those dinosaurs are looking great, and your sketches are badass as always. Keep it up man that photo of where you live is absolutely beautiful. i'm tired of this city.

[Dose206]

Wonderful stuff man. I'm really diggin your children's book illos. I know a lady in Seattle who illustrates kids books, if you want I could ask her if you could contact her and maybe get some pointers as far as the biz side of things. Anyhoo, keep it up!@

Just so you know.

Shane
Recent stuff is looking really good.
I really like how the last landscape WIP is looking. Maybe push the atmospheric perspective a bit more in the farthest hills?

[chrishly]

very nice sketchbook, I especially like your oils.
