Hey dude, you rock, can´t add much to Sickbrush ´post. I love how you play with plain colors and the way they become rendered areas. The cloth details in the last CHOW are super nice. Can´t wait to see new things!

[carakhan]

Awesome design! Love your rendering, kept so simple but works perfectly. I wish I could learn to stop rendering! haha
Sickbrush put it perfectly, I can see the confidence in your pieces so keep it up!

[strangedawn]

Those are damn good creatures and characters again.the wip mecha is so hot!especially the 1st one.as i always said good update and works again.keep up the good work

[Odayga]

Your creatures are AMAZING and ridiculously inspirational!! Subscribinggg!!!

[AndrewLey]

Cool stuff here Dan - I like the way you're contrasting those bulky forms with the smaller features.

[Zimzibar]

Amazing work! I love how rich your colour is, it's a feast for the eyes, keep going!

[Zarquino]

Love your work, just keep it up! The things I like most are the funny ones, people use to fall in the "cold" work when they get 'pro' - or just to a higher level -, but you are still funny.

IMO you shouldn't lose this.

Congrats!

[Fetsch]

Amazing work dan, i especialy love that chow woman great design and render! And thanks for dropping by my sb aswell.

[DANKA]

Hey Dan! you have some of the most original designs I've seen around here!
Fantastic creatures, and the latest skteches have a more soft rendering!, I like it!
Photoshop?

DANKA
Thanks - and I mostly use Sai 1.1 English, but I've changed the process a bit as of late so that's why the pieces are getting softer.

Fetsch
Thanks, and np it was a pleasure ~

Zarquino
Thanks, and I hope not, even if I need to learn to put it away sometimes.

Zimzibar
Thanks and yeah I try to keep the pieces rich in colour - too much sometimes but ~

AndrewLey
Thanks - and for highlighting something I think I've learnt to do some time ago but in part have forgotten (automated).

Odayga
Thbanks, and welcome back then ~

durhamwitenite
Thanks, the creatures do work rather well - now for people and envos ~

strangedawn


carakhan
Thanks, and yeag SB said it well ~

Ricardo Robles
Thanks for the words and for making me drop over to your SB - had missed out. & yeah about SBs post, and welcome back ~

Sickbrush
I actually counted the strokes on the bird after - 10 I think (perhaps 11) - I should do birds more often ~
& I agree about doing more atmosphere and better/realistic lightnig and pull away a bit from the current style I have, did so more of old but have pushed hard at getting up the readability you described and have moved away from it, perhaps too much - I'll take you up on that for my next pieces & thanks as always.


GEB
My Latest ChoW is doing the colour muddle thing, but you can always remedy it later (I just think that if I don't paint with colour & value I often end up going bland as well - but dunno).
& thanks.




WIP for the latest ChoW - going so so, need to fix a few things and I was a bit sloppy with it.

It's also too nice and calm as I probably listened to too much vv as of late



Update on the missed ChoW from last week (still not done actually )


Update on an earlier sketch from mid week - might finish it, we'll see.

[Tawnos]

Damn man, I just love your style. Awesome as hell!

[strangedawn]

Ei those characters are bad ass!loving the details.i dont know your using sai.sai looks terrific on you.you use sai differently and that is good.i would really love to see the chow finished and by the way the video is also nice and sexy

[prsnsweeney]

[DoctorDigits]

Update of the ChoW - so much I still dislike and running out of time ~ but hopefully I'll make it in time ~



& I've had a marverlous Gill-Scott Heron Day today, so thought I'd share.

& this further reminds me of the Wire and it just makes me all wam inside.

[Shard]

sweeeeeet works dude!!! love all those characters and creatures!!!

[MacTire]

Fantastic characters Dan!! Great job on this latest chow, even if you're not too happy with it yourself. Loving all the details, great job exploring the brief.

Keep up the great work!!

[GHudston]

Great stuff! I love your mechanical designs especially!

Wish I had some advice for you other than just to post more awesome stuff.

[shambok]

Thanx for the constant inspiration! love you witty lines.

[Highland3r]

wow! i really like your work, those shorn aliens at DSG are hilarious

[dan liimatta]

Quick update ~ will post the final later, hopefully in time for its deadline ~



& Thanks, I'll be more verbose later but I got to run.

[Ludic]

Hot damn, that chow's gonna be in the history books, really well done. It's so fucking awesome. The flowers are a nice touch!

[xinranliu]

[jiina]

Ludic
Glad you like it, I would think its one of my better pieces - and thanks

Highland3r
Thanks

shambok
Glad to inspire, and thanks ~

GHudston
Heh, I think most would claim the technical is one my weaknesses - so thanks

MacTire
I'm happy with the ChoW, just wasn't happy with all parts at the time - same now, just less annoying sections
& thanks.

Shard
Thanks ~

A slightly updated version of the ChoW - I still have some stuff I want to sort out with it, but at least the one here and the one from the ChoW thread feels close enough to what I wanted.

[Verehin]

Great stuff Dan!
