doodle madness

**Lakka** · August 17th, 2008, 01:20 AM

Love the emotion and humor you've been able to pull of so far.

You might want to work on them enviros a bit though, maybe grab some ref images and get a routine-technique for yourself, and then build on that.

Looking good, I'll be visiting this thread again for sure!

lakka- thanks, i like to kind of goof off when im painting, if i catch myself laughing when painting it then i stick with it longer.

i did this one for a friend yesterday. she lost her dog recently

**triggersamy** · September 4th, 2008, 02:47 AM

**RichKid** · September 8th, 2008, 01:04 PM

**RichKid** · October 7th, 2008, 04:33 PM

here is a little cave man i doodled the other day, did the painting on my lunch break today. probably do more on it tonight or in the morning

**RichKid** · October 8th, 2008, 12:35 PM

here is an updated version of the last guy "KROG THE PATH SWEEPER"

**RichKid** · October 13th, 2008, 04:39 PM

ok, so if im gonna have a caveman than there will have to be someone for him to hunt/be hunted by. so what better than a scrawny little dino always after a chubby caveman meal.

hope you enjoy, still kicking around ideas for the dino for a while, so feel free to toss in ideas

**Mischeviouslittleelf** · October 13th, 2008, 04:52 PM

YES YES YES! I love how you go from loose and ideational to sharp and very well rendered! KEEP doing that, and study hard! This is looking so good

The G-myster, what up? yeah, no use in calling me when you make it to San Diego, yep. I am now living In Utah. Got me a Job and EA salt lake. but feel free to call if you end up in Utah for some bizarre reason.
I am loving the art, yo! its been a while and quite a lot of updates since i have visited this SB. are you using Painter? looks an awful lot like painter. and one more question do you post your 3d pieces somewhere?
keep poppin em out.

**EricElwell** · October 16th, 2008, 04:20 AM

**monotony** · October 16th, 2008, 08:06 AM

haha the caveman is great. good call on reworking the face, looks much better now. so looking forward on the finished one. and the dino is awesome.

**RichKid** · October 21st, 2008, 05:35 PM

eric, i need to sign on to aim, its been a while since we hung out

mono and mischievious, thanks for the kind words

**AA-ron** · October 21st, 2008, 09:33 PM

Really likeing your last three pieces, great amount of character in them.

**RichKid** · October 26th, 2008, 08:48 PM

early wip of my roommate's dog

**RichKid** · November 5th, 2008, 09:21 PM

been doing a lot of pencil sketches lately so havnt had any digi stuff to post. here is this morning's doodle

**RichKid** · November 30th, 2008, 10:41 PM

jammed out on this guy today. no real purpose other than getting something out

**Peetaer** · December 1st, 2008, 12:02 AM

man, you got wicked skills! very cool style you've got and your lighting and shading abilities blow me away. rock on dude!

**Lakka** · December 1st, 2008, 12:21 AM

Indeed you have some nice rendering skills, very nce, subtle values.

I think you just need to work a tad on texture, making rock look hard, wet areas look like wet etceteraetcetera.

But you definately have the ability to make forms look good, almost very 3D.

Keep it up!

**RichKid** · December 5th, 2008, 03:24 AM

peetaer- thank man, thanks for the kind words
lakka- i usually think of my stuff as a concept for a model, so thanks for the 3d comment. and with that i usually do more of the texture difference in the model, but it is something that i would really like to start putting time into, i just always end up putting it off till the end, then i end up moving on, hehe

here is a little doodle i have going for the super stylized challenge this month

**RichKid** · December 5th, 2008, 10:21 PM

haha, ok, this guy has been really fun, i think this is as far as im going to take this concept though, i might do an illustration of him under a bridge or something... i dont know

**RichKid** · December 5th, 2008, 10:26 PM

oh yeah, one other quick question for those who pass through, HOW DO I CHANGE THE THUMBNAIL FOR MY SKETCHBOOK. im sure it is posted somewhere...but i havnt seen it. if anyone knows, mad love to whoever points me in the right direction.

**RichKid** · December 10th, 2008, 04:06 AM

here is a little jam session from tonight. i have been doing a lot of uber generic game looking characters lately, just for shits and giggles. here is the start of a new one

**RichKid** · December 11th, 2008, 12:54 AM

ok, here is stage 2 in huge generic fantasy hero drawing. barbi dress up time. crits and comments are not only welcome, but encouraged...and sometimes begged for

**RichKid** · December 12th, 2008, 04:03 AM

IS ANYBODY OUT THEEEEERE. hehe, here is an update on my uber generic warrior. love it, hate it, shit, just drop your name so i know somebody passed through

**animosapien** · December 12th, 2008, 01:08 PM

Hey ..i like your rendering style..
makes me remind those old fairy tale hardbound illustrations...
cool colouring and the sense is very elvish...
i liked the last one...the guy with those inverted walrus tusks..
cool ..
keep it up...

do walk into my sketchbook...
i've got something interesting for you in the beginning pages...and some new speedies lately too

**gshaw** · December 12th, 2008, 01:26 PM

haha the warrior is pretty sweet. feels like he needs shoulder pads...or maybe just one on the shoulder thats closest.

**RichKid** · December 13th, 2008, 03:33 PM

animo-thanks for the comments, the little troll guy made me giggle a lot as i was painting him.
gshaw, yeah, i am actually working on some shoulder piece or armor for that close arm. i will post up some of the ideas im kicking around once i have them kind of roughed in.

thanks for swinging through guys

**RichKid** · December 22nd, 2008, 12:45 AM

i am still workin on super buff dude every now and then. for now i had to sit and do some stuff for christmas, here are my little cousins i painted up

**RichKid** · January 16th, 2009, 02:20 PM

this guy was in my head when i woke up this morning. i think i might stylize him a bit more and model him out for some practice

**RichKid** · January 19th, 2009, 01:47 PM

here is a little update on the pillbot, i liked him so i continued on. im going to go in on the arms and legs and make them a bit more cartoony and flowy. maybe do a shot from the back, or model it out, then paint over on the back to figure it out. also going to bring in some influences from the krieger series to get some fun shapes introduced in the body
