hi Idiot Apathy my name is sucker what is yours

**thek** · January 20th, 2008, 07:07 PM

Talk about bloody amazing - what great characters! What lovely poses, gesture and lines! I'm hopping straight over to your 'new works' sketchbook now...

**Utum** · January 21st, 2008, 04:55 AM

Hi openanewworld. Your work is still amazing. You deserve all the praise you receive. By the way, in the comic image

I find the perspective of the banks is a bit off in the last 2 lines. Other than that, i congratulate you on making very expressive linework out of a "boring" subject. I makes it interesting for the viewer.

Character designs are really cool. I see that you even when planning a character keep the proportions correct, something that still bothers me even when I know my characters.
Just out of curiosity, how long does it take you to come up with a page of comic strip? Do you get a script, or are you planning every box by yourself?

Keep posting.

quite amazed, the king of variety u have shown.. specially I must say u have good control over posing and human anatomy..........
Would like to seeeeeee more and more backgrounds toooo..... keep it up!!

Great work,

You can show your pictures once you attach them with the attachment manager, click on the little paper clip icon that is next to the smiley face icon above the text box, a drop down menu will appear that allows you click on each of the pictures that you attached with the attachment manager, if you click on one it will add a text code into your message and will show up there when you post the message.

Hope that helps..

**MeTaL-Mike** · January 21st, 2008, 07:16 AM

man you stuff is really cool. love the details you put in your drawings. yeah some more color studies would be nice to see. Have to do some myself.

**gustavo desimone** · January 21st, 2008, 07:17 AM

Very good drawings

**openanewworld** · January 21st, 2008, 07:44 AM

gustavo desimone, thanks

MeTaL-Mike, agree with you

Mr-Jo, thank you so much I have fixed the problem now the pictures are shown, really thank you!!!!!

Trigun, I am still interested in drawing character in my free time, hopefully I can show some my environment work in company after the game is done

Utum, agree with you about that panel just it is too boring so I don't bother to correct it
about the comic script I got a full script with full references per page, usually to finish a page like that will cause me 6 to 7 hours, sometimes it is too boring which will take me longer to draw because it never get me into a rhythm

thek, hope you enjoy them

Good Lord Almighty! I should just give up now!
You give Frank Cho a run for his money in the beauty and flow of your lines.
and you do all these great drawings on a wacom?!!!
Amazing!

**Dreamworker** · January 21st, 2008, 08:39 AM

I think that I must learn so much from your stuff, Thanks a lot for sharing these great works!
Ciao

**Nerahla** · January 21st, 2008, 09:09 AM

these are amazing, I am learning to much just from looking at these poses. Thanks for sharing!

**AsaB** · January 21st, 2008, 10:53 AM

Your characters are excellent, each one seems so unique and full of life. I'm going to have to browse through the entire thread, your stuff is too good. Can't wait for more!

**Utum** · January 22nd, 2008, 03:23 AM

you are really high speed, for the level of detail you are working on. You are right with the boring ones, its a drag. One of the interesting things is how much of the script you can make out out of just watching the images without balloons. Last ones look great

**koppa** · January 22nd, 2008, 04:37 AM

sweet stuff dude color em up

**dtran** · January 22nd, 2008, 11:19 AM

cheers

**Light_User_Syndrome** · February 11th, 2008, 09:57 PM

Dude, I'm really enjoying your artwork.
Love this sketchbook sampling here:
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/sho...&postcount=174
As well, I'd like to tell you the comic influences I see in your work. At times your style can remind me of Neal Adams, Bill Scienkiwicz and Blade of the Immortal creator, Hiroaki Samura.

I think it's key to utilize a lot of bare feet in figure artwork. They can be so expressive.
Case in point, is this gorgeous piece you did here:

I love that! What are you using to draw?

Very nice stuff here too:

Very impressed and look forward to more of your work.

**Mr.Delicious** · February 12th, 2008, 02:42 AM

lookin good dude, I think the distance between her nose and lips throws her face off though. Maybe just make the nose slightly bigger? Rest of it looks real good though!
