**entdroid** · August 19th, 2006, 11:29 PM

you have a really cool sb!
The last digis look good, perhaps you need some harder edges there.
I like the pencil sketches the most, your characters and faces have lots of personality. Very interesting stuff!
Keep it up!

Cheers,

thanks. Yah, definitely gonna be working on tightening up my digital painting. It's fun to learn, cuz knowledge is power!

pld:

here's some mediocre sketchbook poo

**Oddmind** · August 26th, 2006, 10:55 AM

great stuff as always. I love your style, and the more realistic stuff doesn't lack much as well.

People often delge so far into stylization that they never come back to realism, but I love how youve done all of it.

**Ferg** · August 26th, 2006, 08:36 PM

thanks oddmind, I'm really trying to do just that... keep learning realistic anatomy and design, but also pushing my own style... then mixing the two.. or something

just did this one today... first image I've done where I selected the color scheme before hand... with a little bit of post processing via brightness/contrast tweaks

**Ferg** · August 26th, 2006, 11:15 PM

grunt

**Ferg** · August 27th, 2006, 12:02 AM

**Ferg** · August 27th, 2006, 10:01 PM

**Fishspawn** · August 28th, 2006, 12:53 AM

Cool stuff. Messed up stuff. I enjoyed most of it at any rate. I don't really have anything to say, just keep doing it

**Ferg** · August 29th, 2006, 04:59 PM

thanks, I think? Heh... assuming messed up in the good way.

I'm lookin for a sketchgroup or "SSG" or whatever to join. I need some real crits, and would be happy to give some to others.

getting there... slowly...

**isair** · August 29th, 2006, 10:16 PM

**rblitz7** · August 29th, 2006, 10:33 PM

**Quinster** · August 29th, 2006, 11:11 PM

This is some pretty zany stuff...also kinda creepy.

**J.Peckham** · August 29th, 2006, 11:27 PM

that first image, the one with the naked girl and the spaceghost lunch box...is that one of the ones that was copied. looks just like one of my old drawings where the lunch box was a head in a sack. If i can find it, i'll show you. it's uncanny.

**crazy3dman** · August 30th, 2006, 12:07 AM

Nice sketchbook. Crazy imagination. I love it. Sorry no crits. Just enjoying looking.

**Ferg** · August 30th, 2006, 01:04 AM

Thanks guys... heh. A lot of this stuff is inspired by dreams.

j.peckham: Nope, that one's all me.

spaceghost

crazy3dman: Thanks

Quinster: I'm the only person on concept art that hasn't drawn a penis monster

rblitz7: gracias

isair: HIGH FIVE FOR IMAGINATION! (danke)

Here's one more nude study tonight... ~20 mins

**Andy P** · August 30th, 2006, 01:19 AM

Man, solid sketchbook, good anatomy studies, nice quick studies, lotta wackyass shit goin on: you've covered all the bases! This and this are particularly rad. Keep at it man!

**Oddmind** · September 1st, 2006, 09:27 PM

heya Ferg, nice stuff as per usual :]

The Women are looking much better! We can all benefit from that

Keep hittin it!

**Ferg** · September 2nd, 2006, 08:58 PM

thanks guys... and yes it's nice to not completely mutilate the anatomy on girlies like I used to heh... I've got a long ways to go but at least it feels like I'm getting somewhere. And the new tool album is fckin awesome to paint to.

Got some sketchbook pages to scan... no time now though...

here's something...

quote doesnt have anything to do with the pic really, just popped into my head right about the time I finished the thing. It's from aqua teen hunger force, if you're wondering.

**VirgL** · September 2nd, 2006, 11:54 PM

i like your imagination man , love your paintings, i like the way you stretch the proportion in some drawings, im sure you have a lot of fun when you draw, keep on going !!

**J.Peckham** · September 3rd, 2006, 12:37 PM

great, crazy, minds think alike . apparently

**Spats** · September 3rd, 2006, 12:57 PM

Yeah! I love your sketchbook! Very original stuff. I'll be sure to pop by every now and then

**Ferg** · September 4th, 2006, 02:37 AM

WhiteC: Thanks, I do love me some art... I can't wait to get my hands on some real paint.

J.Peckham: apparently

Spats: you're always welcome... careful of the zombies

**sabe2003** · September 4th, 2006, 03:20 AM

**Ferg** · September 4th, 2006, 11:44 PM

**feeesh** · September 5th, 2006, 06:09 AM

Hey cool stuff man. I love those ref women you painted. Great skin tones, even nice smoothness with the smudge too!

Hey, how was WEEN?!?!? I love them. And last time I saw them was the night before the singer was getting married and they playe dfor like 3 hours, crazy night. He kept bringing girls on stage with him too since it was like his bachelor party, heheh

**arttorney** · September 6th, 2006, 12:08 AM

"I'm lookin for a sketchgroup or "SSG" or whatever to join. I need some real crits, and would be happy to give some to others."

I think your wackiness and willingness to stretch boundaries would play well on 3CH Random topic of the Week, in the Community Activities. The trash talking is just for play. We will help you to fill these sketches out with environments, color, or whatever. Check it out. Seriously. I think you can get some votes with your imagination.

**revender** · September 12th, 2006, 12:33 AM

Hey man, thanks for dropping by and posting in my sketchbook. I'm really digging those digital figure paintings of yours. It's also great the way you flesh out your pages with design and figures from life and mind, not a bit of space wasted.

Anyway, keep up the good work and I'll see ya at QuakeCon 07!

**Ferg** · September 17th, 2006, 07:27 PM

feesh - Thanks. The ween show was fucking spectacular. I passed out during Zoloft from a combination of intense moshing, dehydration and low blood sugar, but I was only out for 10 seconds or so and I had 2 good friends with me that kept me from falling over or hurting myself or anything. 4th time seeing ween live, they keep getting better each time.

arttorney - I'd love to get involved in that (especially since it seems like you guys are in need or more people), but I still am not really any good at drawing specific ideas. Most of what I draw is just stream-of-conciousness type pencilbation. I dunno. Maybe.

revender - thx, I think I picked up the "pack the page with drawings" habit from another sketchbook thread here. The interplay between all the tightly-packed stuff has added some neat shit I think.

Sorry for the slow updates, the game studio I've been working at just closed down and I've been regrouping for another project. Here's a little bit of... stuff.
