Thought it'd be a good idea to start a new book.
These really are gonna be sketches. Very initial images, that if I like enough, will make into finished pieces for Nation.

Hope you all like

Fantastic shtuff Jon. You're really hitting the suggestive vs. descriptive sweet spot. This one and this one are too damn hot.
Cheers!

**DannySketch** · December 18th, 2007, 10:15 AM

jon you are the shizzle.

post 13 is nice and fresh, but hell they're all nice man, thanks for not holding back the love.

please for the love of inspiration keep this up.

**Ead** · December 18th, 2007, 11:48 AM

Outstanding technique, atmosphere and lighting. Cant wait to see more. have 5 from me

**Frank Wade** · December 18th, 2007, 12:10 PM

Really cool.

**Delmar** · December 18th, 2007, 06:21 PM

thats just incredible!!!!

Love the colors so much....great inspiration!

**Fellah.** · December 18th, 2007, 06:30 PM

Absolutly beautiful stuff, my friend! Love the mix of detail and loose lines - works so good! The colors are just awesome! Im always jealous when i see your stuff, hehe. I couldnt paint like this even if i had a gun to my head. You rock, bro!

**Brendan N** · December 19th, 2007, 07:11 AM

hey, way big improvement since I last saw some of your things in FF! These are fantastic, absolutely love what the lighting is doing for the composition in post #16. #13 is equally great.

I don't have any crits but I would like to see you vary the time spent on these some more - put far less time into some, and much more into others maybe? Just a suggestion.

Keep us posted dude, you got a rockin book in tha making! 5*
cheers!

**Kian** · December 19th, 2007, 01:22 PM

many many thanks guys. It really means alot

Fed, its weird, until you described it like that I just though about making some fast loose sketches, but what you said is totally bang on. Cheers matey

Simon, believe me mate, I wish I had some of your dark fantasy skillz!! Cheers bro.
Brenden, thanks mate, I totally agree, I'll put some sketches that've had a bit more time put in em up.

Heres an |enVironmental mech. done really quick at work for a mate. I maybe, just maybe take it to finish.

**RaistlinTheDark** · December 19th, 2007, 04:47 PM

dude great stuff lov the last one

**comixnut** · December 19th, 2007, 05:52 PM

man these are insanely cool! i need to find a way to do these every so often.
Keep it up!

**Quicksilver** · December 23rd, 2007, 03:14 PM

Awesome

Lovin' posts 13 and 16 the most - you've caught the essence of the enviros really well.

Defo liking how you're more loose and confident with your paintings now as apposed to when I first saw your work (which was still good!). It's like you're doing it for yourself now rather than for the sake of showing someone something. Keep that fire going

Cheers for the crit earlier, and have a great crimbo~ ^_^
