Chaosrocks' Sketchbook (Update 9-10-09)

**chaosrocks** · May 3rd, 2006, 10:17 AM

or some such. Most of the work I can show will be costume design or WIPs for CA as I signed an NDA for the indy game work and can post it to a public forum yet.
I am willing to hear all C&C and thanks you profusely in advance for any commentary you might care to make

The first thing on my mind is these Lamplighter lizards... They are the COW assignment for this week and I seem to be doing two entries one digital one in oils

Im also doing lots of sketches of how they are used because they are amusing

A couple older things (older, as in last week)
My Girls TD

a quick character study

My very first effort in Painter and underwater bird for DSG

What? You just barely started a sketchbook thread? Shame on you! JK
Just want to remind you keep practicing, and do a lot of life studies. Personally, I hated life studies so much but I did learned quiet a bit from it. I had to thank my instructors for that. Anyways, keep at it I'll try to assist whenever it's possible.

Oh and add alot more yellow on the lizardthingy where the lights from the fire are hitting him. He needs to blend in a little more.

my begining of the end...
very simple
the moment in the love triangle where A can't take her eyes off of C and is eventually going to haveto leave B... whom she loves..in some way
think King Arthur, Lance and Guenever...
The begining of the end in so many ways.
But in a more Emo vein that I believe most will tackle it in
to be done in oil paint and renaissance garb

**White Rose** · August 10th, 2006, 10:40 AM

wow.... it looks like some city in europe... hope to see it completed.
Im curious what made you want to do do this. are you using reference or... straight from your imagination

**chaosrocks** · August 10th, 2006, 10:44 AM

pretty much straight from imagination
though influenced by Florence and Rochamdour and a few other cities in Italy and France

I just wanted something I could work on all the tiny details and end up with one huge image. Takes a while

I've gotta wait 'till I'm back at work...dial up sucks

**entdroid** · August 16th, 2006, 10:40 PM

Hey chaos,
Nice improvement from the first post to the last one, I'm particularly fond of this image: http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e1.../PtLobos-1.jpg
I think you have some great ideas, but you should really do some reffed studies to nail down stuff like proportion and perspective and make those ideas more consistant.
Keep it up!

Cheers!
