spudstudios Wow! thanks dude, I'm pretty slow at posting
FactorZero Cheers . Big fan of your work.
Prophet Thanks for stopping by! Look forward to your next work.

Bots!


Last one is an idea for a T-Shirt , ignore the stupid smoke cloud. (RobG ink texture^)

No Characters yet ...

[Tigermilk]

hey man, almost forgot about you're thread man. That would've been an incredible loss! Gosh I really dig the compositions and colors in many of these.
The design is really cool in this last one too.
I suppose you could work on you're anatomy here and there though (couldn't we all) but lines are looking good.
Keep it up!

[Koto]

Cheers for dropping by! Characters need serious work, studies are coming along very slowly . I need to do some more characters, hopefully soon.

[Koto]

Anatomy is fubar

and a quickie environment, bah big empty space on the right, not good:

[Koto]

Hope everybody had a good New Years, first post of 08 (Finally!)

Still no characters! FAIL!

[Whitevillage]

So, Koto Stomp. How's the progress in your drawings these days? I like the last one because of the feel of depth and contrast. The atmosphere in it is eerie yet warm. Don't worry about the characters, they'll sure will come along with the more enviro's you'll make. And some enviro's does'nt always need characters to look good imo. Just keep it up, I'm curious.

[Koto]

Hey Whitevillage, thanks for the kind words. Forgot to update :o. I've been doodling with scraps here and there. Lately I'm trying to get somewhere with my pencils, it's so hard, there's no 'ctrl+z' . Just about to start another environment. Here's all the scraps I've done since last post:



(ref^)










Back to the pencil..

[Koto]

It's been awhile..

[frog and *BAM*]

I really like your stuff, there's a lot of ashley wood in it, but you add your own zest for sure.

[Koto]

Thanks frog. I'm a fan of Ash but who isn't!

Let's re-heat this. Some older stuff:





Studies:

[Koto]

aefx> Nice meeting you too! and thanks for dropping by. Hopefully see you at the next meet?
wookiedabo> Thanks man! I just noticed how much I use blue and pink :o

I didn't post this when I was updating this thread.

I got some time on my hands so new stuff soon..

[FAST ART]

woooaa.. soo cool stuff.. keep postin

[aefx]

Thanks for stopping by the sb. To answer your question I haven't been to life drawing for almost two months but I've decided to get back into it and will make more of an effort to go on a weekly basis now.

I dig the Half Life 2 bit. If you want any crit I'd say look to make something the focal point of the image, the two guys on the left catch my eye but they're just looking at each without expression. You could try adjusting their gestures(get arms into view) to communicate a story, for instance one could be pointing while the other scratches his head; "How did freeman get away again?"

[Tigermilk]

Holy shit brah, awesome, post moar!!!

Thanks for stopping by my thread man!

[Tigermilk]

Where be the update, you you?!
Obviously your lurking around..!

[Koto]

Here it is, and it's small and not so exciting!:



Seems the site I was using to host my older images is down

[Koto]

Another quick ArtRage:

[AustenFM]

Howdy, Fun little sketchbook so far, you've already got a good handle on things as far as i can tell, so i have no real worthwhile critiques to make. Just keep on updating!

Also, lets see some more traditional work as well!

[Koto]

My traditional stuff is terrible I hide behind the ctrl-z and layers of photoshop!



Ahem...

[Tigermilk]

awesome man, love the artrage stuff. Man you should post the traditional pieces though, I'd love to seem them.

[Koto]

I'm trying to sketch more so maybe I'll have something traditional to show once I do something that isn't complete crap!



More digi.

[Porg]

Excellent stuff, I love your use of colour as it's something I really can't get my head round.
Loving your robots too, very inspiring.

[Tigermilk]

Man you're awesome. Love the last update!

[wookiedabo]

still adore the colours you use mate, nice brush work too.

[_Mr_M_]

Jeah, because of you i discovered ArtRage. Very cool program, exactly what i was looking for with those oilbrushes. Thanks mate, you have a nice sketchbook, especially those last few portraits!

[Porg]

I use acrylics mostly, but trying to get into oils.

I can't seem to get used to digital colouring though, how do you do it?
I'll look up ArtRage though and see what that's about.

Were there any specific tutorials you used?

[walnut]

I like those faces, great use of colours.
