Sketch mcbook (update: aug29)

[witcrack]

Really inspiring enviro sketches. It makes me to do one, really
Agree with vulgar though, about the red glare. Perhaps add more reds (doesn't have to be a glare) around it or somewhere else to balance it?

Anyway, the updates makes me happy. Keep it up.

@Vulgar and Wit, thanks guys, I agree with oyu guys about the red, I'm going over the picture again and will post up a bigger one soon when I finish up

I also have about 3 other 'almost finished' painting to post and will do soon

here's a quick speedpaint for team chow

[Saraiva]

Your work has a... certain unique quality to it. It is really hard to explain. Looking at your environments gives me the same feelings of seeing a nice view, its hard to pinpoint an exact reason why its beautiful. Original sense of design, great colors and a mood that touches the viewer. Keep this up. I would love to see more.

This is great :o !!!==>> http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/20...ox-d5251y5.jpg

It's good too when you don't use the "rainbow pallet of colors"

These last ones are a little burned with all the pure white, it lose depth.

Great monsters too.

I like your stuffs

[Snafu]

@ t eight, thanks man, no, I only use photoshop
@yor, thanks bro
@udonhead thanks man
@Ork, thanks buddy, been experimenting wth light with the speedies so hopefully i can find a good balance soon

here the latest eow, had to rush it due to time but had fun

[Eightball_]

hey man you've got some awesome lighting and color going on in your paintings. my only crit would be is that sometimes they can get a bit contrasty. that might be the look you're going for but personally i like the more balanced value structure you have in pieces like this one:

anyway, keep up the good work!

[Velocity Kendall]

[Snafu]

some team chow and personal work, more on the way, found a nice ref for the second one then i got carried away and just played around , changing the palette etc.

[Shanelee90]

The last two remind me of a game I used to play called Aion. The nature and mountains are so beautiful I have subscribed to this thread keep up the great work!
