[LA-Fairy]

I love that ogre!

[Konstruktion]

Cooool! Some of the robots looks aztek with all that detail, amazing. Really cool character and the post-apocalyptic witch is looking cool too

[TheGnoll]

@AustenFM: hey man! thanks for the support.Glad you liked those tribal bots, i think i kinda exaggerated with the pattern a bit but they were fun to draw.Here's part 3

@dan liimatta: hey man! thanks a lot for that overpaint, love the way you reworked some area and the color variety does att to the overall look a lot.I've put off practicing color for so long i really don't feel confident at all with it.I'll try and practice some more.And btw, i was really flattered by the fact you mentioned me as inspiration for you line drawings dude!

@Hive_minD: hey dude! sorry for disappearing for so long!

@DANKA: thanks Dan!

@Tom van der Linden: hey! thanks a lot for the support and sorry for not replying earlier!

@GHudston: thank you!!

@Zebz: thanks man, always appreciate your visits.Yep, all is good, except for the heat and that fact i've finished schoo! (which is at the same time liberating and terryifing) Hope you're well too!

@Tizzy: grazie Tiz!!

@Quike Garcia: hey Quike! hope you're doing well, and thanks for the visit!

@NickyBeats: yo! thanks! i do tend to avoid exaggerating to "play it safe", but you're right, some scenes would benefit from added sense of movement.

@Ionize:thanks a lot!

@Creusa: spero non sia un problema!

@p sage: you're way too kind dude! thank you for the kind words!

@smuli: haha man! great comment! your words about "familiar" grins and sharp jawlines feel veeeeery true, i do tend to rely on the same themes/expressions A LOT! i don't do it on purpose! I'm afraid there's more of that in this update :/ I'll try and think more about it though, thanks!

@LA-Fairy: glad to hear that! its a year old piece, i hope to tackle something similar again in the near future to see if there is any improvement.

@Konstruktion: thank you very much!

yo!
here some more stuff, both old and new.

This summer hasn't been as productive as i hoped, BUT i managed to go visit some good friends i met thru CA ages ago (Alexandr Pascenko and Sleep) in germany for a week and it was really useful and inspiring.

I'm about to move out and the real job hunt has begun, so wish me good luck!

Sorry for the huge and quite ugly scans.

Here's some digital doodles.Painting makes me feel like a total noob, no confidence at all.But i guess that's why i have to study more.In the first 3 i tried to play with digipainting starting from an existing pencil sketch.The last one is all digital.







Some storyboards for work.First one was quite fun to work on but unfortunately wasn't approved.You can see the finished ad for the second one here.



i'm not sure these count as proper studies, but...



still trying to learn how to draw women.



some pose/gestures (?)




dump of old and new sketches















C&C welcome as usual!
ciao!

[smokenmirrors]

soooo many goodies! excellent sketchery, and that story board was genius.

[p sage]

You keep on heaping the awesome someone is going to make you a god

Damn... I'm not through digesting your last smorgasbord yet, and you deliver these treats?

I'll be back with more specific comments when the drool stops flowing.

[~KJK~]

Damn, i want to start doing my own graphic novel soon, but im not sure i have what it takes yet, got so many things to practice on! keep up being awesome and so on!

[prsnsweeney]

wow love the story boards and the charachter doodles are so entertaining

[Ariel9]

Belli belli belli gli studi di mani e tette (aha xD), le barche/navi un po' steampunk, e il terzo doodle digitale in particolare. Ma tanto sei troppo bravo sempre u.u E per fortuna che ti senti un newbie col digitale xD
In effetti di ragazze ne fai poche, soprattutto di viso, male male! (Qualcosa di cui rimproverarti bisogna trovarlo, ma è mooolto difficile u.u)

Hahaha, I LOVE your last two storyboards, especially the flower and lawnmower!

[ThomasM]

as always, the volume and quality of the updates in this sketchbook have blown my face off. Kepe on doing what your doing is all I can say (all I can ever say when someone is working this hard).

[JRumpff]

the lawnmower concept board was pretty epic.

[Tom van der Linden]

I don't really care if you reply or time or not, especially with these kind of artdumps! Smelly but gorgeous!!!

[Pedro Ferreira]

[Sebastian Gromann]

i'm recently doing marker-stuff these days aswell, but when i'm looking at yours i wanna hide myself in a deep hole ._. really envy your line work.

[The_Flying_Dutchman]

[Pigeonkill]

The storyboard the gardener vs the weed is hilarious.

[Tom van der Linden]

C'mon, we need another update!

[HunterKiller_]

Wow man, haven't seen your SB in about 2 years.
Still going' strong as ever and getting stronger. Particularly like the naturalness of your character/creature designs, very believable and not over-designed.

Now, I almost never say this, to anyone else or myself, but what are the chances of seeing some colors???

[p sage]

Damn, need my Gnoll fix

*tip*

Looking for "Burp!" on Google does very little, (thank you 12-year-old American snotboys )

/*tip*

Instead looked for "Burp!" "fumetto italiano"

And found some things. Are you involved in this Sherwood Web one?

Can't read Italian, tho... but the video was interesting. Caught a lot of it (I know Spanish, which sounds very similar)

Not just me, Ryan... people everywhere are thirstin for more Gnoll
