Chate Noire's Sketchbook (4/14)

[Zeitwolf]

Wow, your style is quite recognizable and technically superb! I love how your character designs all remind of each other but are very unique at the same time!

[Chate Noire]

Chuck - Thanks a lot darling =)
Brun - Much appreciate, thanks!
Saurus - Glad you found it I saw Targete's tutorial on a CD my boyfriend (Chuck,Mate) got as a prize for one of his many wins in CG contests.
Hanna.Viera, Thank you! Hope you come back for more.
Zeitwolf, I'm really glad to hear that. It's what I love seeing in artists' work, so it's good to know it comes across in my stuff as well.

Here's another collaboration with Chuck,Mate, Smaug for this week's CHOW and a sketchy phase of page 1 out of 3 of my entry to POW. It's been a long time since I did comics and my storytelling senses are all numb; gotta get them back in shape.

[Chate Noire]

Second page, and another collaboration with the wonderfully talented Patri. He did awesome work on this one.

[Vagabonda]

Greeeaatt!

[Chate Noire]

Thanks, Vagabonda =)

[Lenorekitty]

[MeTaL-Mike]

[Jasonwclark]

This thread is great ChateNoire. You just made me smile like 20 times in as many minutes.

Love the characters and scenes, all wonderfully expressive. Keep up the good work

[Chate Noire]

LenoreKitty, thank you =) I'm glad you dropped by.
Metal-Mike, many thanks.
Jasonwclark, it's great to know my work made you smile =) Thanks man.

Fresh from an all-nighter (not the best idea when you have to go to work the next day) - a female adventurer for the unfortunately cancelled CHOW#118. I actually started working on it after the challenge was dropped, but that still was the inspiration. That's also the reason for the cover-like format.

[Chuck,mate.]

she`s awesome, baby. lovely colors.

and that finished page is insane. I haven`t seen anything like it for quite some time. the storytelling is intense, the characters and their pose are fantastic, and the digital ink work is superbly done, well balanced in terms of negative space and the reading of the light and shade. love that silhouette in the center of the action. well done!

Nice stuff, the chow 118 entry is nice, but theres something with the light coming from the fire, his face need more light i think, and i think you can put some more work on it, keep em coming! cheers!

[Chate Noire]

Chuck - thanks babe =)
zulu - thank you. The main light source in this wasn't supposed to be the fire, but since so many people think it is, there's obviously something wrong with the piece.

2 new collaborations with ubertalented Chuck,Mate, the second POW page and a B&W base for a Macadillo for Chuck's Confection challenge.

[InvertedChalupa]

sup dude? great improvement made in just 4 pages bro... keep that sheet up!!

[Quinn Simoes]

Love the Macadillo, great design and the pose is awesome!

Look forward to seeing more.

Quinn

[Chate Noire]

InvertedChalupa, thank you. I do hope to keep it up.
Quinn, thanks a lot =)

[Chuck,mate.]

I love everything you do.

[Dahami]

Impressive imagination and drawing/painting/cartooning skills.

[Sundance]

You set the bar for POW. Great pages...you've done exactly what sequential art is supposed to do. You've told a story without any words!

Both you and Pat are fantastic in your own right...but, the colabs are pure magic.

Great work

[chuck18mp]

Two words: five stars!!!

[MonkeYoakum]

[Chate Noire]

Brun - thanks so much
Kian - cheers man, thanks for the stars!
D@niel - thank you!
Chuck,Mate - thanks baby =) I'm glad you pushed me back to comics.
Dahami - thank you.
Sundance - thanks, man. I hope I find the time to enter another POW, it's an awesome exercise. And yeah, working with Pat results with awesomeness =)
chuck18mp - thank you very much!
MonkeYoakum - I'll certainly try =) Thanks!

I'm working on a comicbook so a lot of time and effort go into that, but I still try to work on smaller pieces just to have something "done" every once in a while. Pat, myself and another talented artist from our office started our own weekly challenge for pretty much the same purpose, and the first topic was "Burden".



Oh, and I forgot to upload this baby from a couple of weeks ago. Self portrait in the office. ...Yeah, it's like that.

[thesadpencil]

totally awesome sb you got going on here, i really like your style a lot and the colors in your digis are very vibrant and lovely, keep up the great work.

[IanE]

Seriously one of the better sketchbooks on here. Your style is wonderful, fluid, and vibrant. The current trench warfare panel set you have going on is really excellent. Great stuff here!

[kidult]

Cool comic stuffs!

[gkrit]

pro stuff ... no faults for me to pick out.

[PieterV]

I'm really digging those last two.
