[Feil Magnus]

Solid work, you have.
The only crit i can give is maybe to bring some more value here and there, for insatance, the wolves in your last pic seem a lottle flat compared to the character. I understand they are not the focal point but maybe if you desaturate their back...
Anyway, very good work.

[P.Timm]

thanks man, and i totall agree with you, i got a tad lazy and rushed them, but never again! : )

[P.Timm]

[P.Timm]

some new works, some finished some in progress. the building thumbs were 20 min studies each that i NEED to get better at...or just get better at everything period.

[P.Timm]

a few more works in progress as well as my 20 min city study practice...the surfer piece is a personal one, just something i feel compelled to finish...

[P.Timm]

Im kinda going nuts on choosing a color scheme for the gladiator guy, any suggestions?

and here's another 3x 20 min session for city studies : )

[P.Timm]

C0nker3 thanks for the great feedback! I checked out your sketchbook and you got some really nice stuff in there, that motorcycle girl study is great, as is the sniper bear haha!

here's a couple studies I did today
30 min:

45 min:


and a few updates:


and a 2hr no ref knight

[Veneq]

Wow that gladiator turned out great!! I really like it - so it's only logical that I critique it, right?

Here are a few things that jumped out at me and they're both anatomical things. 1) the hands seem a little beefy and clumsy. The fingers all seem to be pretty uniform aside from the pinky. Look at how the fingers sort of cascade in steps downward across the hand when in a fist. Also the angle of the back hand seems like it's tilted so the top of the fist is facing down a bit as if it were holding a sward pointed toward the ground. 2) the biceps - particularly on the back arm. It looks really full and round as if it were fully contracted, which it wouldn't be since his arm isn't holding/pulling anything and it's the arm is pretty opened up.

Things I love about this design: The blending of the gladiator idea with aztec elements. It's a really cool look that you're pulling off really well in my opinion. And the colors! I was going to respond and say 3, 4, or 5 were my favorites for various reasons. 3 and 4 because they looked Roman and wold convey the cross between the two cultures in a pretty clear way. 5, because it was pretty outside the box, but still attractive.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

some more updates and a 45 min predalien study just cuz, and a gift I gave my fiance for her birthday...still wondering if I should use a textured or plain white bkg for the gladiator, and maybe lose the shield on him, or keep it...

[P.Timm]

Its been a while, but rest assured I haven't been all that lazy : )
ok so more updates on the gladiator, I decided to junk the sheild and give him a dark grey back drop, I think I'm getting pretty close to being done with him

And here is a more updated version of my fiance's portrait just because the other one bugged me

The back of the Spontaneous Maximus Album, which according to the band is finished so yahoo

A 3 hour life study of a cup I had in my room, really gotta work on my life study speed, its embarrassingly slow...like my painting speed, but practice makes perfect eh?

And a 57min study of a samurai predator toy I found online, loved the design, I'm hoping to have it inspire my next character piece after the Gladiator is finished

[P.Timm]

A new project I'm starting, gonna try and post some studies soon hopefully, but Mass Effect 3 and helping plan a wedding is gnarly on my time schedule...excuses=bad! haha

[P.Timm]

some more updates, the samurai guy is taking me much longer than anticipated but its all in good learnin' right?

1hr50min samurai study

six 20 min movie still studies, sooooo much more difficult than copying pics on a comp : /

and a 50 min rachel mcadams study (I added the green and clover in good faith hehe)

[P.Timm]

some more updates, been really busy with work and what not but here's what i got lately
six 20 min rambo screen studies

more samurai updates

an old character i was fiddling with

and a batman project i just started

[P.Timm]

some more updates, messing with the batman comp a bit, though i think the better comp has some un intended sexual innuendo in it? and a 50 min study i did of my friends back

[P.Timm]

More batman updates this time with color : ) some tiny bit of samurai work, and four 20 min studies of Gladiator, yahoo!

[P.Timm]

[P.Timm]

[P.Timm]
