WOW orc study for friends comic idea. Attempting to notice distinguishing shapes in there body's. Oh and orc legs are a son of a bish IMO.

**jedininjaman** · October 18th, 2007, 11:40 PM

havin fun in painter. i would

some input

**Texahol** · October 27th, 2007, 03:05 PM

on your graphic style demon thing:

try to think more about the form in lightsource. I'm pretty sure that the effect you are shooting for 'a la hellboy' has the shadows in black, and then the parts in light in color. you have inconsistent lightsources, and blacks just thrown around everywhere. Try to break down the form into large shapes of light and shadow keeping in mind your light source.

on the orc faces:

you are a nerd. I know nothing about wow.

environment:

when I am drawing things on the computer, what I will usually do is after the initial planning [line drawing] I will put down [on a new layer] a 50% grey layer set to multiply [so you can keep your lines] then work on a new layer on top of that to carve out the lights and darks. If you're starting without line, I'd just lay down a 50% grey before you even start. it helps speed things up, and will allow for a better value range. Also, environments are usually more interesting in a horizontal format [because we see in horizontal format. 16:9 is usually reall good [because we've been conditioned by movies at that ratio]. I find working in a square to be very challenging compositionally.
now I'm not sure if this was intentional [and please forgive me!] but the branch thing in the lower left is like a penis, and the hole in the tree thing is like a vagina. maybe i'm just being a perv.

Looking better and better by each post!
Try to find a book on anatomy and a bunch of bodybuilder mags, use the mags as reference to draw from. Keep the anatomybook at hand to give you some help with how the muscles connect etc. I do this all the time, and then i just disregard the whole thing and make everything bigger=)

**Kaffinated** · October 28th, 2007, 03:54 AM

sketchbook fun

**RandAlThor** · October 28th, 2007, 05:55 AM

Cool concepts, anatomy is progressing nicely. Excellent last image (enviro) keep up the practice and post more :-)

**Kaffinated** · October 28th, 2007, 04:22 PM

i will get to the replying of the comments soon! for now more arts...

**Kaffinated** · October 29th, 2007, 10:29 PM

about to paint over this one. trying to see what colors fit.

**Alex Baer** · October 29th, 2007, 10:38 PM

nice, i like your creatures, you've come up with some interesting ideas with the more mutilated, half-robot/elemental demons. right now i'd say watch the waists and the legs on some of your figures because they look a little thin, but i can see your doing your figure studies so you'll probably overcome that issue soon. keep it up man, i would like to see what other diabolical creations lurk in your head.

**Kaffinated** · October 30th, 2007, 12:48 AM

i swear i'll get to the comments soon. im just super busy atm. here is some practice pics from the Christian Loren Scheurer DVD series.

**Kaffinated** · October 30th, 2007, 08:23 PM

WIP- would love any feedback you would have for this digi matte painting in progress.

**Kaffinated** · November 5th, 2007, 02:19 PM

stuffs

**iMaiM** · November 7th, 2007, 07:33 PM

Woot! Updates

Liking the digi-matte's and landscape concepts. Cool stuffs!

**Kaffinated** · November 10th, 2007, 04:04 PM

i kinda slack on my anat on these... but otherwise just having fun in my subconsciousness.

**Sirio_Brozzi** · November 10th, 2007, 04:15 PM

hey kaffinated, this is a good start so far. I agree with texahol on his earlier comments about hogarth. Its nice to see that you're dabbling in envo work among other things, so keep experimenting. I liked the head studies in page 1, your school sketch, among things. Try to keep the studies coming at a consistent rate, the theory you get from that stuff will help you branch out at a later stage with much more ease. Keep it up!

**Kaffinated** · November 17th, 2007, 11:53 PM

Fresh off the cookie sheet....NEW SKETCHES

C&C most welcome!

**Ashrumm** · November 18th, 2007, 12:21 AM

wow, at the pace you are going to be fine. Definitely agree with Siro Brozzi, he hits some main points on doing studies i definitely need to do some more of those keep up the good work!!

**Kaffinated** · November 19th, 2007, 06:21 PM
