Very nice works!
keep it coming!

Cheers mate. I always think of DiNero in Cape Fear as the ultimate Wolvie ( Besides the Kent Williams Meltdown one) Hence the smaller chest and Dockyard arms. Cheers!

Very Nice life in your stuff

please keep it up!

**spudstudios** · October 17th, 2006, 02:20 PM

Few more odds and sods....sorry all, no tidy stuff yet. Just Biro while I'm on the phone at work. Only had a red one for one page but it seemed to inspire me a bit. The aquaman rework may well have been done many times and is far too generic but hey..I was diggin it. Hope y'all like em. leave your thoughts if you do

Sorry if things are getting huge..SHould have some fnished stuff soon. Working on my folio and keeping it quiet till I'm ready

Thanks so much for the comments so far. For someone who has been out of the scene for many years it's a real buzz to get feedback.

Ooh yeah, you've got the styles alright :3
This is some very nice stuff, only thing I notice is that you seem to have some trouble with the lower legs? They often look too short and thin somehow. Think about it.
Otherwise, just lovely. Love the August sketch. Dandy shoes :3

**spudstudios** · October 17th, 2006, 04:20 PM

Thanks Ragathol. Not sure what you mean by lower legs. i kinda like my spangly style on them. One of my biggest bugs with a lot of modern comic work is impossible leg lengths. I do it myself sometimes but hey.;-]

**wareagle** · October 17th, 2006, 04:33 PM

hey awesome stuff i really like the one in post 22

I mean that the lower legs are shorter than the thighs when they should be about the same length. The thickness is more of a style issue though, and you can do it your way

cheers guys. Hope to post more soon but i am on the road for a while. Maybe I'll get some travel sketches done.

**hurricane** · October 19th, 2006, 04:21 AM

**Kir Nuyts** · October 19th, 2006, 04:24 AM

Kir.

**spudstudios** · October 24th, 2006, 02:59 AM

**spudstudios** · October 25th, 2006, 03:17 AM

more more more. Yep. I aint giving up!
Really quick sketch of Molly. Fat solubale crayony type thing i found in one of my old art drawers. Took about 5-10mins. enjoy.!

**spudstudios** · October 26th, 2006, 05:08 AM

Just a note..I'm off travelling for work the next couple o weeks. Frankfurt next week, then Rome and then Lanzagrotty to chill on the beach. No updates for a bit, but I hope to add some travel sketches if my schedule allows!

Ta ta for now.

**spudstudios** · October 28th, 2006, 03:37 PM

more green arrow. Had a great harcore story idea for him but it looks like I was beaten to it. Never really dug DC Comics when I was young.
Anyhoo. Enjoy please..

**Aragath** · October 28th, 2006, 06:53 PM

Like the motion on the last one. but he sees too... much forward-tilted, if you catch my drift

**spudstudios** · October 29th, 2006, 09:56 AM

Cheers Aragath, I get what you mean, He is about to shoot and almost fall. Wanted him on the edge of balance but willing to take the hit to get the shot in.

**spudstudios** · October 29th, 2006, 10:02 AM

Chucked some colour on my Female spartan last night. Corrected some anatomy issues ( I like to keep my ladies around 5'6).
I only had my Master Chief Action Fig for armour ref.

Don't like how the unmasked face is getting on so I'll prob change that.
PS CS2. Updates soon after my travels...ta ta for now.

**rocnvin** · October 29th, 2006, 07:17 PM

Your sketches are great! I like the loose feel to them, I do the same type of sketching too. Nice paintings too

**Wheeljack18** · October 29th, 2006, 08:23 PM

That last pic of Green Arrow is great. the inks really give it that classic comic book feel ala, Buscema and the Kuberts. Can't wait to see more.

Thanks. I always seem to draw a bit Kuberty....I never really mean to. Never ref'd them and I don't set them as my benchmark. Strange how that just happens? Always been a Windosor Smith, Buscema fan though.

**spudstudios** · November 1st, 2006, 05:55 PM

lol...got my spatan wip featured on bungie fanart!!

http://www.bungie.net/News/TopStory....ink=octoberart

**spudstudios** · November 26th, 2006, 05:48 AM

an update. I'm back now and should keep my updates up again

Anyhoo. Ref'd from a low res Molly Crabapple pic i was sent. Oils on canvas. very early stages. Lots of fixes needed..the chair has gone seriousl squiffy!

Please enjoy.

**kischi** · November 26th, 2006, 02:31 PM

Great work so far! Very agile poses
Looking forward seeing more of your stuff.

**spudstudios** · December 4th, 2006, 01:24 PM

More updates. Is this boring? I feel I am pusing myself slowly back into a better groove. i think constantly about composition and technique. It has been many years since I asked this many questions on a daily basis. i am back in love with my art and all arty aspects around me!

Anyhoo. I thought I'd try drawing straight to wacom. Some post will be quick photo ref'd and some from my busy mind. Hope you like em and keep looking

I think my mages may be a bit large. I shall try to tidy up to make it easier for the slowbie internet crowd in the future!

**spudstudios** · December 4th, 2006, 03:06 PM

speed painted the mofo. love to post the ref but i am sure it's copyright.

**spudstudios** · December 5th, 2006, 10:29 AM

oh the link for the girl used in the last ref. A friend of Molly Crabapple's
