The females have so much character! Great stuff.
Is the color painting of the one woman digital or airbrush and cans?

**Chris_Grisham** · May 31st, 2008, 10:27 PM

Beautiful and creative sketchbook! Your portraits are fantastic and environments are other worldly. You have a great talent I admire quite a bit! Keep up the great work so I can continue to enjoy looking at it all.

I can't give any real critz because I'm not that good, but i'll just say you're really good!

Man still 4 Am. Spent about an hour checking out everything. This http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1205355101 absolutely kills it! Everything is sick! The evil genie is a sick idea! Keep on rocking it!

Sweeeeeeeeeet

!.
Definitely love the pencil sketch, the digital portrait looks wonderful as well. Yet I am not sure is it finished, her hands are also the focal point I think

.

Great job!

**dchan** · June 1st, 2008, 05:34 AM

great stuff! your sketches and portrait looks amazing

**DeKal** · June 2nd, 2008, 02:40 PM

anjin - thanks man i will
AA-ron - all digital. i used the air-brush (brush) though.
Chris_Grisham - really appreciate that man. get that "lame" off your web site link bro. your stuff is much better than a lot of stuff ive seen.
Eon - haha...thanks a lot man..
flamable - thanks..youve posted here before though havnt you? i think so..im too lazy to go back and look though...thanks again
UnSharpened - thanks bro..she was just a speed paint..didnt feel like rendering out the hands...i kinda like it like that..
dchan - much thanks man..your stuff is killer too.

well heres some sketches for the "DEEP" competition. i didnt think i was gonna do it until a spark of motivation entered my head and now ive got ideas. id really appreciate feed back on these. they are the male and female of the species. i just have the anatomy mapped out here. im going to add details like markings and stuff like that as well..and i also want to do an illustration of the two characters interacting in context with the sea. i have some decent ideas for that too.
and also a cool shot of my room with some oil paintings...one is of the prior sketch i posted a couple pages back..
thanks again everyone..i look forward to hearing you guyses thoughts..

I like the skate deck. The airbrush piece is great too... I've never done airbrushing, so I don't know what kind of skill it entails. Great stuff

**DeKal** · June 16th, 2008, 05:26 PM
