only with Relentless instead of espresso, it doesnt give me that sick feeling of the 5th coffee but really delivers on the shakes.

[Biomecha_wolf]

heh yeah , i want one too. at all times. but preferably with ionised maltesers hmmm


.

I started now practising a bit on my sketchbook , i mean a real one not a digital one(!) and i tried to focus on perspective-creature sketching.

the results so far:





From now on I will always carry a sketchbook everywhere. Or aka i will try

[Biomecha_wolf]

an experiment of last night:

[Biomecha_wolf]

3 illustrations I made , using some new things I experimented with

[Biomecha_wolf]

Some upgrades i made for the comic from the previous page. hmm...

[Ziegengrimm]

love the composition of that "last night experiment" - dude with rifle
as how the dark values of the weapon sort of continue the mountains
like the cat warrior as well

[kingkostas]

Tromerh proodos man!!!! Xairomai pou se blepw hardcore training!!!
Molis teleiwsw eksetastikh tha arxisw kai egw pali. Ante keep up

[Biomecha_wolf]

ante ante! no more slacking KingKostas! (<-- and ofcourse what I said belongs to the biggest LOL ever for that guy with the 100+ pages in his sketchbook ;p)

so..

after sometime I decided to continue the experiments in new ways of illustration. This time I will not leave the colour to lead , but the line

[Biomecha_wolf]

Experimenting with a new style
(for the 30th time this month )

[Sageron]

hey man absolutely love going through this sketchbook for only one reason, to see you improving so fast.

You should do more enviroment paintings imo - it shows the most potential.
Its always good to be open for other things, though id stick to some sort of style and master it before you jump over to the next one.

Like your character designs, theyre so inconsistent, one time it looks really nice and the other time it looks not even near ur good character designs.

but yeh, id love to see some more envi sketches

keep it up man, rapidly becoming better

[Biomecha_wolf]

Thanks for the reply and your good words Sageron

I've been thinking what you just said , the thing about the style, and i think you are right.. Someday i must stop all these experiments and start focusing for the real deal..! ;D

The next update will be environment, i need practice there also.

[Biomecha_wolf]

woof, i hate summer flu :/



.

so..

the environment i promised to my friend Sageron

Speed painting (2 hours)

[Biomecha_wolf]

And here is the same one but without the colouring. It looks like i must keep playing with the tones first in black-white before adding colour

[Biomecha_wolf]

[Biomecha_wolf]

Now some industrial thing

[Biomecha_wolf]

darn, this page is so empty ;p

[Biomecha_wolf]

one more upload. for this morning.

Έλα ρε παιχτη, έλα να μαζευόμαστε.. Όπωε γράφει και ο Κώστας, πολύ μεγάλη πρόοδος από την πρώτη σελίδα
Great improvment mate, especially on values.
I see you have it better with the enviroments, it's something i am jealous about cause i am not!
Try not to use outlines on yout characters, they tend to flatten your sketch, excepts it's a concept.
Keep up man

[Biomecha_wolf]

Επ, πατριδα!!

Εχεις δικιο, πρεπει να γυρισω λιγο παλι πισω στα ενβαρομεντια τελικα γιατι τα εχω ψιλοαφησει τελευταια. προσπαθω να κανω πειραματα με characters, λιγο με βιομηχανικο, και καπου χανομαι στην πορεια!

[knut-]

Ωραίος ρε.
Όχι, συνέχισε να ασχολείσαι και με χαρακτήρες, να αποκήσεις άνεση με ότι δεν την έχεις ακόμη και να γίνεις λίγο all around.
Όσο για τα βιομηχανικά σχεδια, θα πρότεινα μετά από ένα προσχέδιο να τελειώνεις με σίγουρες και όχι απαραίτητα σκληρές γραμμές, όπως στο τελευταίο. Θα κάνει το σχέδιό σου να δείχνει σιγουριά, όσο απλό και αν είναι.
Keep up ρε!

[Biomecha_wolf]

ώρα και για λίγο αγγλικό τώρα

As you can see i am trying for a long time now to make my lines in the industrial design more.. interesting, but i havent found the golden recipe yet. maybe i need to use a special brush? How can i achieve "confident lines" with a tablet?

update

[dave117]

Hi,

I really enjoyed looking through your sketchbook, your progress is amazing. Loving the enviros too! In post #115 I personally like best A in the first and C second..
Also Bugsaurus is freakin' cool! I would totally have that as a pet.

[kingkostas]

Yo kab pws paei man!!! I missed these updates. You are doing great. These environments are very interesting. Lovely shapes and composition. Also there is a great amount of interesting brushstrokes from some custom brushes or whatever you use. Very nice. Keep up the great work mate

[Danny_K]

nice progress mate, I suggest to do more figure/gesture/anatomy studies to make yours characters look better
Keep it up!!

[msears]

Enjoy the textures on those landscapes. Overlaying old world architecture with futuristic spires and what have you is a nice effect.
