@Caspia Thanks, color has been a weakness of mine, I just love they way they can make you feel.
@Black Sun S. Thank ya!I will certainly try haha. as long as assholes stop shaking my hand with the grip of frankenstein. I USE THIS HAND FOR DRAWING stop trying to cripple me, world.

Hey thanks for the comments dudes

here are two new enviroments to my upcoming social game from my start-up company ootii.

its in open alpha now, so we are in the process of getting it built while people can run in and play/break it

A lot of the cartoony environments are actually to that game in this thread if you get the chance go play it by searching for Relic Ball in facebook search.

These two game environments are Egypt, Pyramids of Giza AND a misc Chinese bamboo forest

[Appylon]

[I-Bomb]

reminds me a little about dreamworks

[Appylon]

@udonhead: Hey thats a cool comment thanks for the comparison. I've been getting more and more interested in mimicing illustrative art and am inspired greatly by studios like Dreamworks et al

Couple speeds and sketches from the past couple weeks.

[Appylon]

More junks and random studies. Quick studies from movies and some photo studies.

[Appylon]

Recent concepting work. been a while. Busy with work

[Appylon]

Here is a batch of sketches from the week. Not really any focus. Just getting into photoshop and practicing.

[Appylon]

More sketches/paintings more mistakes. apologies for the line art one, i was too tired that day to get anything.

[Appylon]

Good to see the site is back up. Hope everyone is safe having a great beginning to the new non-apocalyptic year. Knock on wood.

[Appylon]

Next batch, some studies and side works. Tom Scholes' work is inspirational, been trying to decipher how he does some of his work.

[rumpenstiltzkin]

love the enviros, pretty colors!

[celine li]

it's gorgeous! I venture to ask what instrument do you use

[Satu]

Love visiting your sb, always so inspiring stuff here.
Landscapes look awesome. Love your use of colors. Keep it up!

[Appylon]

Hey, thanks for the cool words everyone. unfortunately I have been completely uninspired but am still forcing myself to sit down and draw a lot. All of these studies are failures, boring - vague and pretty much forgettable. But I think its worth posting anyway to help document my progression. Not all days are good days, and in this case it was a pretty poor week. There really is no excuse for it either, i'm just being lazy and need to snap out of the funk.

@rumpenstiltskin: Thanks, dude
@celine li: Hey there, thanks for the compliment. I swap between using a cintiq and a intuo 3 tablet 9x7 (i think).
@Satu: thanks man, always appreciate the support. Let me know if you see something that I can focus on fixing!

[Appylon]

Another short batch of sketches.

[Raoul Duke]

This work is so fresh and colorful. Love it.

[Appylon]

More, some of these are more fully finished, others are crap sketches. Really inspired by Floony and Rayman concept art stuffs.

@Raoul Duke: Thanks a ton man for stopping by. Glad you like some of it
