Syros sketchbook

[syros]

Hail to all Concept artist,
As I wrote in my profile, I am a newbie who wants to improve, so here is some of my sketches from past, right now I am working on perspective and values.
I will post some of them too.
And please dont forget to give me c&c, thats the reason why I am here!!

[FlyingFins]

I like these a lot, the concepts are really interesting. (In a good way.:-))

My only crit would be to give some of these creatures a go at a 3/4 view or something like that, side and front views are always more lifeless than a more dynamic, angled view.

Keep going and post more!

Hi!

The detailing on the creatures are very good...

I agree with FlyingFins about the orthogonal views, althought the lifelesness makes them seem some sort of study or research about Lovecraftian creatures

[syros]

hi there,

FlyingFins: thanks first, I have to say that the reason for starting with perspective was to achieve the ability for drawing these creatures in some other views, i.e. what you said: 3/4 view. so they are on the way!!
may be I'll give it another try and post them so the feed backs may lines up my studies.
Auhsan: about the detailing I think I should try to draw more from life for developing them, if you think I am right or you have a better idea let me know.
you mentioned "Lovecraftian", I made a search to get what you are talking about because I have not read his novels and I found good stuff like this:
a good forum
a band that is influenced by H.P. Lovecraft
thanx man.

Sweet pencils, love the shading and really like the organic style concepts. Post more... ;-)

[Auhsan]

hehehe... yeah, Lovecraft made a lot of horror short stories about bizarre monsters from others dimensions, your drawings remind me of those stories. It is a good inspiration for horror art.

so along time passes, and these are just my output, work and study consume much of my time, and the only way is to draw late at night.
please let me know the topics I should work on for improve, thanks.

`wow your stuff is great,i really like the first of the latest update.

[syros]

So here I go with another one,
a lot anatomy studies needed, many to mention on this character, especially lack of training on the hand made me to just ruff the whole shape and at the end it is again awful.
I promise to train!!
cheers.
PS: plz make some suggestions

[ghoulio]
