let me know your thoughts on this, ive been looking at it for too long.

**Njord-E55** · November 23rd, 2006, 03:54 AM

I wold move one of the monsters closer to the car, to make it more threatning. You could also make the light in the car brighter, to make it more of a focus point. Also some reflection on the car would be nice.

**Lohan** · November 23rd, 2006, 02:17 PM

cant exactly read it right now. are the light gray blobs around the back of the car smoke? if i knew i would tell you how i feel.

however the light beams of the car lights should be much more upward-facing.

**Bendragon** · November 24th, 2006, 12:18 PM

The pink tree creature has character. Look at him struggling there! Nice streem of light on that tree limb, but maybe it makes it less treelike in texture. I think the composition of the piece featuring a lone tree on a bridge could be strengthened if you lower the tree a bit, probably by eliminating part of the bridge.
I like the city enviroment, its got a good design that I think you could work with.
On the recent piece, the composition seems like everything is pointing from the top left corner to the bottom right. Maybe knock down that left mountain and have the right giant come in a bit so it could be more of an "S" shaped composition? Its still a WIP Im guessing, but the ground is a bit flat atm. One last thing: maybe use less of that fog trail or just vary (shapewise) them somewhat - they are looking rather solid and could be clouding too much of the painting.
Looking forward to the result!

**dannE-B** · November 24th, 2006, 06:42 PM

Thanks for the advice and comments, i changed a few things, got rid of background for now and worked the design of the car more, plus i put Stripes on the side of the car to make it go Faster!!! ZzzzZooomM!

**Bendragon** · November 24th, 2006, 07:31 PM

Thats looking much better already

**dannE-B** · November 26th, 2006, 03:20 PM

going down a different path with this, let me know if its worth pursuing?

**Lohan** · November 26th, 2006, 07:10 PM

thats a lot better imo. i'd say either work up the mountains more, or drep them more into the distance and work them less. i would continue them to the left of the image, it looks weird how the last one drops off. imo the cliff-side closest to the view (with the fence on it) could use a nice gradient of shadow moving up from the bottom.

**ArtZealot** · November 26th, 2006, 07:15 PM

awesome stuff here dude. i found another sketchbook to add to my favorites. i like this sketch: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...houtguntex.jpg it reminds me of carlos huante a little bit. very cool stuff though, overall. no crits, just keep them updates comin.

**Flaskpost** · November 27th, 2006, 07:51 AM

That last version of the supercar is my favourite! Lohan has nice points on those mountains.
I would like to see that map in the bg shine thru a bit in rest of the image, especially there to the right of the car, where it looks kinda empy.

Keep it up man, looks awesome so far!

**Evil_Sloth** · November 27th, 2006, 08:03 AM

Try playing with different shapes for some of your forms, maybe grabs some refs of your subject matter and check it out to get a few ideas in your head, things like mountains and trees. Build up a good diverse shape vocabulary so you can have a few things to choose from. Keep it rocking.

**dannE-B** · November 27th, 2006, 05:30 PM

hey sorry for these little updates i keep doing but your input has really helped me with this piece...oh and to make it a little less pointless..heres a sketch from my sketchbook to show you that i am working in that also...i just hate my scanner...

**Zynic** · November 27th, 2006, 06:07 PM

Hey there Prophet

Your stuff is looking awesome, I really like that "Trashy"-dude a few posts up

Nice work on that one!

Keep this up, and you'll be a pro in no time ;D

**Flaskpost** · November 27th, 2006, 06:13 PM

Ah! Awesome, mate! It looks alot better than before!
And it looked pretty damn fine.
Really nice!

**Lohan** · November 27th, 2006, 06:28 PM

car piece is looking so sweet. maybe try adding just a few more very bright highlights to the front of it to make it pop more.

**Justin.** · November 28th, 2006, 06:55 PM

You seem to have been pulling out a really cool style in recent months; just be sure to keep feeding it with life drawing man!!! =) Now go Flump that Chicken!!!

**dannE-B** · December 1st, 2006, 04:04 PM

-blog woz ere' oh6 : P

**dannE-B** · December 4th, 2006, 11:19 AM

a small update.. oh and i forgot to mention i got one of my life class drawings up in a gallery in Manchester..and someone bought it for 100pounds

woot? no idea why but it was this one...

**Bendragon** · December 4th, 2006, 06:16 PM

Hey looks like your drawings improved! Congratulations on that £100!!!!! Care to split the booty

Where do you take your life classes, out of interest? I used to go at a place called Rouge Studios, good place.
But yeah, Improvement! I would add a few darks to define some of the landmarks on your figures. But you cant do that until you actually see it and recognise it. Sculptures is probably a good place to see this.

**Lohan** · December 4th, 2006, 06:40 PM

BLING BLING!!!!!!! how many dollars is that?

for the drawing, try using less lines. i see a lot of lines that don't have to be there, aren't helping describe the form.
the anatomy is in general good but off in areas. i think if you just apply your knowledge of anatomy while your drawing, like ask yourself does that make sense?, and then make adjustments it will help.

kind of scary to think thats hanging in somebodys home haha. congratulations
