**spudstudios** · December 13th, 2006, 10:20 AM

Done today. with WIPS. Oil on canvas. My father in law. Top bloke...waiting for his teeth to come!

**Ashab** · December 13th, 2006, 11:43 AM

great drawings and exploration in your line work, try and put that into your rendering this may help to keep the energy and freshness in your work.

**spudstudios** · December 14th, 2006, 05:06 AM

Cheers Ahab. i know what you mean..It's hard finding the rights lines to choose to keep the buzz going. i tend to run out of paitence and end up hating my colour work.

**Arteshu** · December 18th, 2006, 12:51 PM

Ok!! You know the anatomy!!

**spudstudios** · December 19th, 2006, 12:26 PM

Thanks Arteshu. i'll take that as a compliment (I think)

I always work hard on it. Loomis is a constant source of reference for me.

**bhanu** · December 24th, 2006, 08:31 AM

Hey man, really ncie stuff here especially those phone doodles up there.
More updatyes please.

**spudstudios** · December 28th, 2006, 03:38 PM

Thanks Guys
Kir- The sofa one is messed up beyond all recognigtion, I may go at it again but I'm not sure. It looks like I may be getting a pro portfolio toghether again. My work is offering a nice redundancy package and I am really feeling the need to draw full time again. Thanks for the nice words. Really means a lot.

Bhanu- Cheers mate. Hope to get some real nice stuff up soon.

**Dirty C** · December 29th, 2006, 10:00 AM

Some pretty nice stuff in here!

Do you use a lot of reference in your work? I'm not anyone to be bragging about this myself, but I'd like to see a bit more design in the thread. There's a lot of hot babes in here, but that's kinda leaning more towards comic work or whatever than concepting.

The painting of your father in law is really nice. And your missus seems like a pretty decent model - christ, the difficulty i've had convincing girlfriends to bloody sit still for an hour or two

Nice stuff, keep it coming.

**spudstudios** · December 29th, 2006, 10:39 AM

Thanks Dirty C. I know what you mean about design. Leaning towards that now. I used to be a comic artist ( self-published) and Power rangers, VR Troopers, all that uncredited license crap. I also spent 3 years in advertising doing photo mockups and packaging design. This drove me mad. I kinda fell into IT and the money was too good to turn down. ( mistake)

I have only just started using reference again. Most of my doodles are just mind splurts. Funny, I had started to get bored with concept work styles. A lot of generic samey compositions and the same old pallettes started to get me down. Hard to find fresh stuff. I noticed a lot of Photoshop brush tricks and it all looked a bit Bob Ross for me. However I can see the proffessional merits for this in a demanding deadline environment. Thanks again dude for the nice comments.

**Envisor** · December 29th, 2006, 05:03 PM

What can I say, but lovin the style dude. Your women, and your perspective. Just love it man. Keep it up.

**conceptzaholic10** · December 29th, 2006, 05:26 PM

**spudstudios** · January 6th, 2007, 06:57 AM

Envisor- Thanks so much mate.

Conceptzaholic- Yeah, you can't beat ol wolvie...and boobies! Cheers

**spudstudios** · January 6th, 2007, 07:02 AM

Thanks all of you for your nice words. Some updates with Biro doodles while I was working in Liverpool. A view from my hotel, Green Aroow unmasked and in Roehampton ( Council Estate in london- I guess they are called projects in the states) I grew up in that place.
Also a midget robbing Cap A - the midget came first and I chusked Cap in for a filler. And the mighty Judge Dredd.
All rough sketches that may end up final.

Thanks again. Enjoy!

**Envisor** · January 6th, 2007, 11:08 AM

once again dude, you seem to show a great sense of anatomy and figure. Great stuff. Love the last sketches. An inspiration you are. Keep posting.

My Sketchbook- C&C very welcome

**Inkin** · January 6th, 2007, 12:02 PM

Keep up the hard work

**lefran** · January 9th, 2007, 05:31 PM

hey, thanks for stopping by my SB, theres some really nice sketches in here, some nice character designs, and nice studies, also good paint of your father in law, but like Dirty C said, it would be good to see some more character or environment designs etc ( i so need to do that more myself hehe)
Great work
Fran

**spudstudios** · January 10th, 2007, 01:17 PM

Thanks guys. Great comments.
Lefran-Congrats on your test pass. Great stuff. Thanks for the words- Funny thing is I am doing concept work at the mo but can't post anything due to nd agreement. Hopefully I'll get some of the rejected stuff up soon.

Just a quicky speed paint from ff. Hell girl jokey thing.
Less than 30 mins.

enjoy.

**spudstudios** · January 12th, 2007, 10:21 AM

A few more updates. Funny ow drawing turnarounds gets boring. I keep thinking of all the cool superhero pics I could be meesing with.
Some biro doodles for my pleasure.
Enjoy

**kischi** · January 18th, 2007, 04:51 PM

Nice update, appreciate your loose style.
Is't funny that the masterchief appears in your sketches from time to time.
In my oppinion the masterchiefs' design is state of the art, I just love it.
Often copied but never reached.
(funny I never played halo)
