Aremah's Irregular Sketchbook and Dump

[Fellah.]

Yeah i like that green demon piece to. Only thing i would work on is the rocks. They seem a little composed - making room for the characters and going out of the frame almost at the same hight on each side. Twist them a bit and make a piece of rock stick up in the foreground. Nice anatomy studies, the dude is nice - the female looks like she could beat the crab out of him tho. I thinks there is a drawing of bodystrukture in mentlers thread - kinda of a 1,2,3 proportion drawing (i use it as wallpaper). I tend to make my females look a bit too strong myself btw. Keep up the good work dude!

hey man-stopped by to show some love, your work is really getting better- you can see improvement on your anatomy a lot, and your design are getting better. Stormtrooper is great. I'll check back often, keep it up, and I never say it again thanks for playing in my activities.

I totaly agree with him, your post get better with time

[Aremah]

Thanks, guys. I really appreciate it.

I'm also sorry I haven't been posting. I've been going through a rough (also emotional) period in my life, and it's hard for me to find inspiration lately. Like with the latest activity - I did the thumbnails, sketch, WIP thread, corrections, but then at one point I just ran out of steam, and couldn't get around to it. Still can't, and probably never will.

Maybe I'm not cut out for this. I sure won't be drawing and posting as often as some of the others (that means you, too, Fellah ). I am, however, still resolved to do more Loomis stuff, more sketching, etc. I'm planning to set aside an hour or two just for drawing tonight, but no promises.

Well, I finally bought myself a proper sketchbook. And guess what? I didn't feel like drawing at all, until I doodled this while watching some crappy movie (and after having seen Ame Agaru, Kagemusha and The Last Samurai for the umpteenth times in previous days). Not a good opening of a sketchbook, and a crappy "scan", but meh.



And here's a little something something I whipped out for the latest Illustration Activity. A quickie, really - I jumped on my sudden need to visualise the idea - and I could've done better on the vault, wheel and perspective, but for all intents and purposes, this is finished.

Another one for Rick's Illustration Activity. It has a horse in it, and the horse actually looks like a horse, which is a big accomplishment for me, even if photographic reference was used for the animal.

[Blahm]

you have improved alot! YOur loomis female looks funny because the neck is to thick and the frame is a bit to muscular. In sort the female looks like a male.

[Aremah]

Thanks. The female is almost disgusting, but see everything I said about her and the reference. If I have time, maybe I'll try to draw her again. For now, I'd rather spend what little time I have on other pics and further Loomis studies (keeping in mind what I screwed up with the female).

[Aremah]

Another activity. I'll spare you the details explaining the reasoning behind it for now, I'll post them when I post the finished piece (which will probably be full digital in the end).

THUMBNAILS:



Number 3 was chosen.

SKETCH:



Piece was dropped for lack of interest and time.

[Aremah]

Made relatively minor fixes to the sketch above.

Today's doodles (bad and somewhat skewed photo - the sword was almost straight, ie. no edge used, but it was nowhere near this crooked; do forgive me ):

[Aremah]

Blah.
