Jason needs improvement so beat his ass with critiques

[jedininjaman]

haha great work man the studies at the top of this page were beautiful great lines and nice clean articulate rendering,
and the sequence is cool too, just needs some touch ups here and there, make sure to fix the way the wolves left leg is bending in the last page, it looks broken.. I just started a sequence too but I havent posted mine yet.. for sharing man
-jedi

[Jason Rainville]

Thanks Jedi I've finished the job, and I'm glad it's done. It's a fairly fun concept but.... I'm not a comics guy. And it shows. I really don't find the process of drawing sequences of events fun. I much prefer to do single images, so the final 'page' was the most fun.

I also don't know why, but I completely changed the way I render pencil for this job. Instead of working my way in general from dark to light, shading here and there, in this job I clearly marked off the change from light to dark then filled it in. I also went crazy with core shadows.... really I'm still wondering why the hell I did it that way! Because of that I was less focussed on the actual drawing, and a lot of the lines feel stiff (and yes the likeness is all over the damn place)

Still, not a terrible job, the client liked it so what the hell.

So presenting: SEXY WEREWOLF TRANSFORMATION JUTSU! (aka, the weirdest job in the world)








That's all for now but I have some stuff in the works that will hopefully make up for... that

[Cam Sykes]

some intense core shadows on the boobs. The comic was funny to read. cheers for posting and making me laugh.

[amika]

ooh cool looking stuff

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

That was pretty cool actually, but I think the anatomy was a little generic. Even so, proper job, and the final image was impressive^^

Some things for a tabletop rpg. Hitting a weird slump in that I work on something, but then have to quit it for some reason or another. Just yesterday a logo for a local sports team was commissioned then canned in the SAME DAY. I was halfway through inking it digitally. I've been drawing every day but have little to really show for it.

[Lateman]

hey man your stuff is lookin very good. your progress of the 1 till this last page is impressive! keep it up!

cheers lateman (like this comic strip)

[Jason Rainville]

Dragoooon.

[~KJK~]

Whoa, the dragon looks awesome! Im not sure though about how its body bends, id go for more subtle bend, other than that, great looking And a very nice sketchbook too man!

cheers

[Jason Rainville]

Thanks noodle.

Here's some stuff (faces from the draw from what does everyone look like thread)

Bad mood. Constant interruptions, having trouble making my digital sketches look like anything other than complete shit (the rough sketches I make in PS specifically, it's like my ideas aren't able to come forward with digital lines) overall right now having a hard time making things... usual whiny bitching that normally comes from me

[drd]

Remember that time when you said I was better than you?

The tables have turned, my friend

[Dahami]

Fantastic sketchbook!

[Verehin]

Great...
I like pencils..good characters!
try more work from photos to level up)

[Aila]

That dragon is bloody brilliant. I like the bend of its body, to me it looks graceful.. as if it's dancing through the skies

[Jason Rainville]

Rather than give excuses about how busy and sick I was in this unexpected and unfortunate hiatus, I'll just say that I'm finally ready again to get some work done.

I did manage to squeeze out a few terrible posemaniacs images and horse studies (one of the things I'm trying to get better at, along with technical subjects like robots and ships) during the calamity. Also, some rough sketches from another weird commission that fell through:

[sandeepbarot]

nice work

[hunchback]

BOOBS!!!

hehe like the stuff, you certainly have drive.
Maybe do something simpler like a still life and really try to nail it. Drawing simpler pieces will help with your sense of proportion and lines

thats all from me

[Jason Rainville]

I can't comment on the quality of this post (feels like I forgot how to draw) but at least I'm back doing something now... Tried some technical stuff but didn't know what to doodle/study, so did some more poses and horse stuff.

looks fine here.

[JailHouseRock2]

Dude your shits awesome, great character work mate!

And your digi's are all most getting as awesome as your sketches!

Keep rockn' man,
matt

Hahah! Nice drawing, Jason, but not true!

[Jason Rainville]

Thanks again Jason

Thanks Jailhouse

And alesoun, sometimes it might be false, but other times it's very very true
--------------------

Small update. Just some figure stuff and a face doodle. Bad news: my one and only pen nib broke I got it out of the pen but it'll be a while before I do any more digital stuff. Oh well, needed to get more pencil stuff done anyhow.

[hunchback]

hey man

nice posemaniac stuff thats always fun.xD
that last digital looks cool.

keep it up

[LORD M]

Yo man, great sketchbook. I really like your viking things and fantasy stuff I must say (that helmet of Odin was pretty cool). And it would be grand if you have time to colour the werewolf comic. Looking forward seeing more.

[danlambert]

I just re-read through this, you basically reminded how much I have been neglecting my poses and my studies. I've been blaming all the work I've had to do for my degree but clearly that's no excuse. So yeah thanks, also, your newer characters are great, hell it's all great

[Jason Rainville]

hunchback thanks
LORD M Thanks... I really don't think I'll end up colouring that werewolf stuff. I think I did a crappy job with the thing overall even if there are a few parts of it that I like.
danlambert thanks a ton

-----------------

So more horses, skeleton and faces mostly, then some torsos and poopy doodles:

[Sadetar]

Hahah. I could probably beat your ass, but surely not with critique.

You're works are just amazing, fantastic, brilliant and so forth. If they would suck I don't know what I would call my pieces of art. I'm sure you see the problem. So you just have to admit you're super cool and you're works just rock. Ok? Good boy.

And I will draw you. I'm just haven't yet invented any good excuses why I haven't already done it.

[Dengan]

Hey man, just looked through your sketchbook and you should definitely keep going! Keep working hard

Was thinking, where did you reference your muscle/bone studies at page 20/21? They look really neat btw!

Cheers

[Jason Rainville]

Thanks Sadetar

Dengan, my ref came from "Atlas of anatomy for artists" by Fritz Schider.

I've had a week long misadventure and did art to cope. I should have done more during that week...

Idea for a heavy assault/utility power armor. Named Churchill after the Churchill tank, which was adopted as a utility tank with many modification kits.



Doodles



midsection lighting studies


random male stuff




This is a new image of thor capturing loki as a fish in a net (net not added) but for some reason it just wasn't feeling right so I gave up on it:


I also took to making a few landscapes, mostly as idle, intuitive work that got my mind off of other things...




Finally, I found a pose I did recently and decided I wanted to do something with it. I had a bit of a hard time though, my first few attempts didn't go so well, but the third ended up ok. I'm still trying to work on it so any crits would be helpful:

[JailHouseRock2]

Hay Jason, awesome to see you updating again!

Damn, some great imporvent from the top of this page to the bottom, nice work!

My favs have to be the Dragon, the last digi (big step up man, very cooolll!) and this page- http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...6&d=1242961211- Because me like boobs.

Keep it up mate, and just to let you know there's a rock up there with a face on it cos you know... you may have missed it

Cheers,
matt
