[shyamshriram]

Hey thanks mate..you are a rockstar !


hope i didnt post this before..an old wip..hope i can complete it someday...

[Sean McMurchy]

The Self Portraits are good though the one before last looks warped to me.

The last peace is pretty static. what are those guys doing there? Its good to think of a story for your characters and have them doing actions that convey that story. I forget do to do it too sometimes but its important to remember.

[shyamshriram]

Thanks for the critiques Sean i agree with the warped look with that portrait..and about the illustration..yes, it looks static..i was trying to paint something like a cover of a book..but, yes..i need to add action..will try for sure !


inspired by 'The Walking Dead' show

[Mikko Voipio]

This is magnificent my friend!!!

[bupaje]

Some really wonderful work. You do a great job of transmitting character through the expressions and posture as well.

[shyamshriram]

Placeboast: Hey thanks mate..glad you liked it
bupaje : Thanks

one more The Walking Dead inspired sketch..still working on it.

[andres333]

looking good

[mariea]

Really great brushwork on your SPs, amazing!
Watch out for your perspective in those drawings from imagination. Also, I get that you're going for muddier colors because, zombies, but I think you could still work at them, draw the eye around better. Keep it up!

[Daulet-art]

Y, you are good I like the outline of

[shyamshriram]

thanks andres333 & Daulet-art
mariea : thanks, will try my best..about the last zombie illustration..i just started as a sketch..will add color later.


a sketch of fishgoddess (?) not sure

need to make those legs longer..

[shyamshriram]

trying to paint an environment..

Google Sketchup + PS

still a long way to go..

[Naked Ninja]

Some great stuff here Shyam. Love the girl with the stuffed toy, so sexy.

I'm curious, what resultion do you generally work in?

[shyamshriram]

Thanks mate, usually i dont work in hi-res..but, that girl's canvas is quite big..i think more than 6000 pix wide (300 dpi)

here is the process and final *_*

[shyamshriram]

Pirate Babe (WIP)

[shyamshriram]

one more wip..

sketchup + ps

[Vritra]

Oh man, your environments are getting better and better. Keep them coming.

The 'Pirate Babe' looks like it has a lot of scope for going crazy with little design elements. Will you be continuing it?

[shyamshriram]

Vritra : Thanks, glad you think so..trying to do some less lame stuff these days and yes, im going to make that pirate babe more ugly


update..still working on it.

[shyamshriram]

started one more environment..hope its not too lame :/ need to fix so many things...

sketchup + ps

[Vritra]

Damn, I really think you leveled up with that last environment. I think you should push it and see whether you can retain the same amount of, in lack of a better term, 'life' after you're done rendering it. But that's just me. Looks stunning the way it is.

Keep inspiring, Shyam, keep inspiring.

[shyamshriram]

Thanks Vritra, i know what you mean by keeping 'life'..will try my best


Happy New Year everyone !!

[poetry man]

I like the watercolor-ish feel. I think you just have nice quality work overall.

Good job man.
Peace

[shyamshriram]
