WOO! PAGE 5! *happy dance*

johngrello: !
bludhund: only two quibbles? c'mon! the more quibbles the better
chirp: thanks! I wish I could lay claim to the collabs...but I don't really feel like I own the intellectual property. I've learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed them. I hope to do many more.
stark: I hope to continue improving

some doodles for today. did this rocketboard in sketcher [a collab with julianna and Stark put some shadows on teh butt]
then redrew the idea later, trying to make it more fluid. I seemed to have lost something in the process.

...and a 1hr IRC TD "undead mechanic"
I have been doing some painting in my lil sb again. I need to get my hands on a scanner :/

[Qitsune]

Hey, it's my first visit. Cool stuff, I have checked from page 5 to here and I can see the improvement. You didn't seem to feel the undead mecanic however... Nice pun...but he needs more love. I feel you have some poses many of your figures have, maybe try new positions?

[Texahol]

thanks qitsune
yeah, I tried a different working progress (tried to use lines more effectively), which isn't always good when there is only 1 hr time restriction.

I'll start working on getting figures in more interesting poses and angles. Sounds like it's time for more studies. I seem to have been getting lazy :<

Here's something I did in response to the boring figures, I hope it's heading in the right direction.
I'm not working on the computer as much...it seems that working a desk job at a bank all day + drawing and painting at night have started to take a toll on my arms. Makes me a bit nervous, but I think if I can get into a regular exercise routine, I'll be okay.

a little IRC thunderdome: "chick with bfg"

[Stark]

That's hot texahol...how about some really toes and not samurai feet? STOP BEING LAZY!

[Texahol]

hehe thanks stark. I've been lazy. I've been procrastinating studies for a bit too long

here's some stuff from my sb:

[John]

Hey tex, nice update. I like the orange Robot (04s.jpg), el mustashio & 02s.jpg. I think the orange robot could be carried further, maybe with some yellows / darkening the outlines, something along those lines. Keep it up

[Texahol]

John: thanks. If you're talking about the completely orange page...It's just some lines with a wash over it. I haven't really done anything to it yet

some thunderdomes from IRC

[Texahol]

another IRC thunderdome: "clockwork villain"

I kind of like it enough to take to finish... maybe.

[Texahol]

another irc thunderome ~45 minutes.
"death of a stranger"

[Stark]

Not bad here...sucks I had to bounce before I could finish mine...But I need more work so...yeah..keep at it

[Texahol]

thanks for stopping by stark.

I still haven't done any studies....or finished anything, been busy with work.

lame.

here's a little IRC td that everyone else that said they were going to do.......they all pussed out like 10 minutes into it. SO LAME! ALmost as lame as me not doing any studies....

~1 hr "cutesy"

[ped454]

your quickies are really impressive.....really dig the chick in post 244..totally hot

[Dile_]

Loads of nice use of color lately!

[deadred]

chocolate bunnies ftw

[Texahol]

ped454: thanks
dile: thanks, yeah I think I'm starting to 'get' colors....maybe. probably just a fluke :|

deadred: chocobunniez!

erm... a quicky for the 3ch #40 ~1hr

[Texahol]

52 gestures for cwn's sparta training camp. 90 seconds each a la posemaniacs thinger. I'm so damned slow when I draw

this and some other pieces, are a real improvement
rendering is far better, line could use some work(pencil especially)
enjoying your improvement and ideas, your making some massive leapes forward!!

[Texahol]

alexc, thanks for dropping by

ya my lines still need work I tend to find that my lines are better when I make the right line the first time, instead of the wrong one 57 million times. I should just make the right line the first time....


some colors on something I found from a while ago.

[Dile_]

whoop de dooop man, way to go! I got the feeling of a nicolas-piece when I saw it maybe a bit influenced or something ?

Nice man! Post more when you post though I like your stuff!

[Jason Rainville]

@ that cutesey TD; should have said you were still going, I was well on my way with mine (a bunny-like creature that proclaimed he would never die) when everyone said they were done...

Anyways, everything's nice n chunky n painterly, and you think 90 seconds in pose maniacs is infuriating for you? I still couldn't do it... had to browse through their pose archives and do 'em at my leisure, stupid non-patience

[Texahol]

dile: thanks man..I'll be posting some oil paintings that I've been working on soon...i need to find a non-ghetto camera.

rhineville: aw dude, I wish I had known you were still going too! [i probably would have put more effort into it ...ok probably not, but still]

and yeah, 90 seconds is still hard. It's way easier when it's pen/pencil and paper, I just have really poor control on the wacom. Could just be that I'm too used to slow drawing as well. I think it's because I'm on a 20 inch monitor and a 4.38x8 inch (6x8 constrained) wacom ._. [haha fuck yeah blame the tools, not the user]

here's 50 more, and uhm...I'll get the the value study later. for the spartan training camp. all reffed from posemaniac.

[Texahol]

soo... long weekend with driving long distances and very busy busy.

here's some [kinda not so good] photos of some oil paintings I'm working on. I need to get some lamps, all I have is this one flourescent light in my basement

I have pretty much no idea what I'm doing, but learning heaps in the process--and I've got some books to read.

Holyshitfuhshitholyshfu..gabrblrahboopoop!

I just, I mean just Holyshitfuhshitholyshfu..gabrblrahboopoop!

DAMN!

[Stark]

I love you....r art...I echo Tom

[Soultek]

this being my first time to your sketchbook i just want to say i really like this recent color works, they have a nice feel to them and seem to say alot.

[Cwn Annwn]

Very nice! I can almost see them in the editorial sections of magazines. Very mood/thought provoking. *asspats*

[MattGamer]

HAY Link us on the Spartan Training Camp! Gosh, don't just talk about it, I want to join too!! :/

LOVE THIS - OILS ... REAL LIVE OILS! WOO! I'm pissed I'm not oiling now! GR... What surface do you use? Or is it just plain ol' paper?

Cheers and loving the improvement!

[Jason Rainville]

You make me feel like such a bum. I hate you. Go away

[loveandasandwich]

You have a wonderful imagination!! Your sketchbook makes me smile. Especially the robot with flowers.
