uhm.... YAY :D

[Tawnos]

Hey dude
Gratz zum Interview. Bin auch schon recht aufgeregt, weiß garnicht was die von uns wollen oO Bin gleich am Montag um 11:00 dran, wann musst du?

[LordLouis]

LordLouis wow dude ! D: that comment doesn't make me feel warm inside - its even damn hot in here now.
Dein Kommentar freut mich wirklich riesig, weiß garnicht ob ich deinen netten Worten so gerecht werde. Jop, ich meint' natürlich Abitur, hehe - Englisch ist nicht so meine Stärke, wie du wahrscheinlich schon gemerkt hast Darf ich fragen was dich nach England zieht? Oh Niederreihn ! ich wohn 20min Richtung norden von Wesel entfernt - super Gegend !

Hey, schoen dass dich mein Kommentar gefreut hat! Ich denke schon. Schau dir viele andere sb's an und du wirst nicht vermerken koennen dass viele mit weniger Elan und Biss dadran gegangen sind als du- heads up!
Ich bin nach England gezogen um Politik&Geschichte zu studieren, und werde auch bleiben nach dem Studium, welches ich naechstes Jahr beende. Ich hab erst vor 3 Wochen ernsthaft mit Zeichnen begonnen, und weiss noch nicht so recht ob ich meinen Weg vielleicht aendere und kuenstlerisch taetig werde. Finde es toll dass du das fuer dich schon so klar entdeckt hast.
Ich drueck die Daumen fuer's interview!

Sweet enviros, man. Your pencil sketches are getting better and better. It's obvious that you're trying hard!

Ricardo Robles great to hear! thanks, mister!




here is some fineliner/ pencil junk






studies of Kim Jung-Gi's stuff




thumbsnails; here i wanted to use the same technique some guys at the red engine studio are using in their demos;anyways i wasn't concentrated enough to get a good result, but at least it explains the use of textures and over-sharpening
its a failure but who cares






and a quick moodi

[fantasyartist]

Way to go Snobby! I like your mindset. No wonder you're improving so fast. You're getting really good at doings environments. Just keep experimenting and have fun!

[ismo]

Looks good, man. Is there something special about that thumbnail method the studio guys use?

[Sebastian Gromann]

fantasyartist Thanks my friend ! You'r always passing by ! REALLY appreciate that !

ismo thank ya! nah, it's more about the way they handle ( i mean that guy especially ) the textures.
i just wanted to grap up the same texture while just wraping it a few times to give the image a feeling of togetherness and realism... if that makes sense D:




here's a fantasy landscape - hope to get an other one done till tomorrow o_o

[fantasyartist]

Great job on that last one! My only crit would be that you have two subjects that have a lot of visual weight, the castle and the figures, both on the same side of the painting making it very heavy on the right side. You may want to add something on the left side to give the painting more visual balance. Hope this helps .

[Sebastian Gromann]

fantasyartist good point ! i should check the composition in the first stages alot more carefully the next times! thank you mate




bad times ! - but, hey, it's their own fault, they don't have any defense D:




good times ! - for me, hehe, i'm going on summer-vacation for 2 weeks! it's time to face the sun again, yay \/ cya then guys ! hopefully with some usable pencil-sketches ;P

[fantasyartist]

Nice job on that last one. The composition is much more balanced. Enjoy your vacation bro!

[VirgL]

nice updates pal, nice colors and edges as usual.. Just give a bit more love to the perspective sometimes, post 1090 feels a bit weird because of that, im not sure if the ground is supposed to be an elipse but the location of the horizon line is a bit unclear, the rooftop shapes on top of the pillars also suffer a bit from that, they need more accuracy in terms of drawing I'd say,... I know you can do it, you just need to give everything the same amount of concentration, take time to do these things correctly, keep the angle of squarish stuff pointy , you did that better on yoru castle but the corner of that catapult on the left is a bit confusing, thats the problem with round brushes , getting sharp corners, everything tends to get that blobby feeling if you dont rework the corners of your shape... a good way to overcome that is selection, or a squarish brush, or a chisel brush with pen tilt on , thats my personal favorite to get sharp corners. Keep at it

[Zolerit]

Great enironments man! Cheers

[dave117]

Those last 2 paintings are a really cool idea, It reminds me of zelda: oracle of ages. Great atmosphere in both pieces by the way.

[Sebastian Gromann]

fantasyartist for sure i did so! it was a blast hehe :>

Virg thank you alot for your words whitey ! i totally agree; i need to be more carefully, acurate and bold with the perspective! gonna tackle that! D:

Zolerit thöönks!

+dave mission fulfilled ! thanks for likiiing these, man




i'm back.
vacation was like: '''' and '''' - awesome!


here are some sketches - the first two are from life, just drawing what i saw...and it shows, mainly perspetive-wise... :/














more to come, so stay tuned
