Danny_K Great to hear from you D, so now you'll spam us with digital work huh? what's the laptop again? aaaah, that's my man!

He peeps, after 16 hours of driving i'm back home, i've slept almost entire day, but hey! it's christmas holiday, yaaaay!

So, as it's winter-ish everywhere i've decided to do something polar....bear!
The design is a big joke, i mean really, turkish hat, a club? Anyhoot had, great fun with that piece.

Pencil on paper, A4.

[Charmer]

take care bro,
Flo

[Danny_K]

Hey hey hey!
Marry christmas bro, the bear is cool reminds me of a photographer colegue I have at work which has a funny polar bear hand puppet and he puts it on and asks the guest to say polar bears! and they all stare at him with a wtf mate? LOL
anyhow an important day this is! indeed I received my laptop today and it sure kicks ass its 3D graphics workstation http://www.dell.com/us/en/dfh/notebo...90&cs=22&s=dfh

[jNeumann]

Man, your work is incredible. Great pencils, and the digitals are sick too. Keep at it man.

[Icecold]

Danny_K Merry christams to you too Danny! Warm wishes for your family.
Bears are my favourite animals i guess, a true force of nature we ought to treat with respect. Well i've started to paint on top and color that bear sketch, but i cought a fever and i'm sick ( badly! )so rather no true christmas for me...laying in bed all day long with head ache and pretty much everything ache. oh well sh*t happens even on christmas :/

I'll update when i'll get better, hope that happens soon.

jNeumann Thanks mate!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

EDIT: Ok Let's say i finished it, still sick.....

[BlackDelphin]

I knew ittt!! From the moment you have given me a sign of life on deviantart! lol

Good to see you sketching, n painting, and most importantly updating! hehe
Awesome colours on the polar bear, jeez i can't wait to block in like that!

Read something about being sick there? Well are you? Hope not any more!
Take good care of ya anyways!
Tootals!

[Danny_K]

Nice! I love how you handled the colors, you can always push it more but hey considering your sick and all that's funny and good looking concept.
Feel better buddy

[maloshenkov]

bialy mis, tureckiego pochodzenia do tego z naramiennikiem )) dobra faza hehe

[Icecold]

Ok so this is the last thing i've done in this year, nothing fancy just a study, but let this axe bearer protect you all on this new upcoming and hopefully better 2011! Happy new year people!

[BludHund]

Looking good! Tremendous improvement on the new stuff, keep posting.

Hope you're feeling better....I remember I used to get sick almost every
year around the holidays. People get together and share germs

[Icecold]

BludHund Thank you, well i'm feeling better health wise, but i seem to burnt out, i simply cant force myself to draw or paint, but i've been thru it not once, soi know that soon it should go away. I hope.

Just some bullshit today like i said nothings coming along last couple of days :/
these drawings vary from 15-45 sec, oh and one 2 minute.

[Danny_K]

it's a constant struggle, I have been what you've been through just few weeks ago and stopped drawing for a month and a half when I got back I got better so sometimes it is not the amount of drawing that gets you forward but also other things such as reading and just letting your mind to rest.

[RBeek]

Yes Danny_K is right Sometimes u can improve while not drawing.. its just using your mind in seeing how things are and work and remembering it. And then applying it to your drawings, even when u dont notice it.

So keep drawing aye! put all that learned shizz down on the paper

[BludHund]

Nice lines.

You got a good sense of the gesture and silhouette in such little time.
Normally, working that fast can hurt you, but these look good.

[CUKIERass]

whoo! haven;t been here for a while and what I see-a huuuge improvement! Człowieku dajesz czadu oby tak dalej!

[Riox]

This is a fantastic sketchbook, the progression throughout is great. Your work is very inspiring. Do you use custom brushes?

It'd be great if you could find time to check out my sketchbook and give me any pointers.

Cheers.

[Icecold]

Danny_K Yeah i guess we can't do much about it can we?

RBeek Heh yeah, Danny's right about alot things i shoul've listen to him more ^^' Thanks for visit.

BludHund Well thank you, i find them below the level i consider as decent, but i guess i'll just keep doing those until i'll be satisfied.
You're doing great job, you!

CUKIERass Dzieki cukiereczku \, ciezka praca i kilka lat praktyki a dojde tam gdzie zmierzam, kazdy moze wystarczy wlozyc w to sporo serca i wysilku.

Riox Thanks man, i'll surely check it out.

Meanwhile, a concept done for school assignment. Well maybe not really, but i'm learning digital sculpting now, and i'd like to sculpt it out in the future.

EDIT: I've uploaded 4 story keys for a commercial which was our class assignment. I know that Washington and Einstein do not look like them, but there were their portraits displayed later, so there was no point of trying to match 'em exacly.

[Danny_K]

looks like something from Diablo III ^_^
color plz

[Icecold]

Yah, now when you've mentioned it, it kinda looks like diablo III concept.
Thats a sign, working at blizzard fate is mine ( yoda crap )

Ok ok, heres my second sculpt ever, done with no refference just to test my anatomy knowledge. I've sculpted this in sculptris. It's a free program and it's very easy to learn.
( And oh yeah, it was done with a MOUSE! silly i know... )

[Partisan]

you may call it silly but I am always a little proud when I see a polish guy rocking that hard ! As my mother is from Poland I do somehow feel connected to that land and his people ^^ plus you seem to listen to the right music my friend |,,| .... so rock on ! And good luck with your studies ^^

so long
Seb

[Florian P]

Wow, nawet w 3d ciśniecie. Jeśli taki prosty to mnie też naucz.
Zaraz go sobie ściągnę i po testuję.

EDIT: Faktycznie prościzna, poradziłem sobie

[Danny_K]

hey dude hitting 3D lately aye? gut gut I would say his nose is HUUUGE!!! like wtf huge imba... nerf plz... you used to be a gamer right? you should figure out what I mean.
bring 2D back plz too

[Icecold]

Partisan I'm glad to hear that, thank you...

Florian Znalazles mnei tu co? Pozdrawiam byku.

Danny Yea Danny, i'm learning digitals culpting now.
We have like 2 semesters left and the last one's reserved for building up our folios and demo reels. I've chosen to do concept art/ sculpting demo rell, so i'll have to learn it asap and do some kickass sculptures! And ofc some 2d stuff coming up soon, i havent done much tho since i had like a 2 week break from drawing. Too much work, animation, rigging, rotoscoping T.T ....

Anyhoot here's a wip head i'm working on.

[raminafshari]

very good 2d works , post #875 is fantastic .

[Elophant]

Really nice work!
Especially post 875 an 887 are incredible! Keep it up!

[Velocity Kendall]

you may call it silly but I am always a little proud when I see a polish guy rocking that hard ! As my mother is from Poland I do somehow feel connected to that land and his people

Hehe mine too! proud to be polish-irish; we're the best alcoholics in the world!

amazing sketchbook here, subbed

[Danny_K]

your last sculpture is good except the eyes are too far away from each other. I'm not sure but his face seems to be a tight too long I think you can get the mouth slightly bigger and get it closer to the nose, try out.
Waiting for drawings.......................................... .................... aaaaRRRRrrrrrr

[NickyBeats]

damn Ice! havnt been through here in a minute... and your a fucking master all of a sudden!!! seriously nice updates man. really pushing it!!

[Icecold]

Ok folks so here I am.
First of all, sorry for not updating so frequently but i'm ovverrun with work lately.
The second semester is slowly coming to an end and the third one's reserved for group project doing short film animations.
As far as i know there will be one artist assigned for each group so i will be definitely the one responsible for the 2D visuals in preproduction. What am i telling ya that, well that means alot of concepting, story keyyes drawing, storyboarding and such, greta time to learn alot. Sooo expect a massive update in the upcoming weeks, as i'm surely gonna get busy with doing this stuff, oh boy!

Now i havent painted anything in a while (over 2 weeks ), yeah shame on me...
However! Ah! Ha! this time i actualy have some 2D stuff to show, not much but still, just played around with this one, started from sketch, color wash with big flas shapes, shadow side, and the fun of throwing custom brushes and exploring many routes that opened in front of me, i haven't done that kind of a paining in a looooong time, i almost forgot how much of a fun that is.

[brenthollowell]

seeing great improvement in your work man. keep it up!
