[kaktuzlime]

JeyHey Johan! It´s fantastic that you fianlly started a sketchbook! Now I can keep an eye on what you´re doing even after we graduate!! ^^ Looking Great! That Shatterd Alliance poster looks a hell of a lot better with proper colours! I superdig the french spy girl and her archnemesis! Jean-pierre, wasn´t it? =D

Looking forward to seeing more!

Peace!

Dannelf- Man tackar! Glad you liked it!

kaktuzlime- yeah finally! Yeah the color did suck on the printed version. thx a lot I will be along shortly to pesture your SB aswell..

Here is some images from a personal projekt where I am trying to expand the visual library in my head and establish a metod for painting fast
The images below took 1 and 1/2 to 2 hours each. They are meant to a General, a noble and soldier.

[Johan_79]

Here some more! They are all meant to apart of the same "people" Imagined that I was doing characters to a fantasy MMO. the top image in post is meant to be from the right, assasin, priest and a secret
police all part of the same religous society.
The second row is a dancer, an noble and a rich traders wife. .. C&C more than welcome

[Johan_79]

Here are some more characters I did just for fun. I know an assassain isn't the least painted thing in the world but I just had to paint one. Because they are soooo cool...

[Buckster]

you're brilliant mate! really brilliant. I can feel the cultural influences in the clothing, awesome.

I think it is good that you try to build up speed when painting BUT I think it is more important to focus on getting it right first. Try taking your time to really understand and take in what you are painting. You are doing a great job but try to build up a little more crispness and clearer edges in your art.
You should of course focus on speed as well but a solid foundation is critical as well ^^

This might just be personal preferences though ;p

Cheers mate, keep rocking

[Johan_79]

Here I continue expanding my visual library. I tried took make them look polynesian especially maori, as I think they look really cool.

[Johan_79]

[dchan]

Awesome update dude! yeah just go ahead and pressure me to start my sketchbook. your characters are killin. great costume design skills i must say. keep working and keep em poppin

[Farin]

cool sb!
great concepts!
show us some more

[Toxdel]

wow! awesome sketchbook man. All these characters are wonderful! My only think I notice is that they seem a bit stiff. Maybe play around with your lines a bit to get a more fluid motion; with more of an s-curve if you know what I'm trying to say. Changing your shapes also helps. Don't be afraid to exagerate proportions a little bit. I'm really like the rendering and use of colors though. Great work.

[Lakka]

Your characters are awesome, great, excellent, you know. But then again I'd like to see some enviros with them, as right now they seem like your weakest point, though theres only a few, like 3 images with enviros here.

Anyway 5 stars + bookmarked keep it up.

[Buckster]

I dunno what but something about the book in the third piece I really like. I think it is the simplicity of it. Look into it ^^

Also, great clothing design as always, keep sharing

[Sublimus]

I really like the diversity of your character designs!

Watch out though, a lot of your figures are suffering from tiny head syndrome!

[transroboball]

nice.

[Newman101]

Youve got some really great stuff here man. You have a great sence of sci-fi and just general creativity. Some of the things, though, look a bit off proportion wise. I could be insane and seeing things, but some things just look a bit off. Not that I can comment, your stuff is definitely more on than mine! *laughs* great work, and keep it up!

[Mr. Perfect]

Sweet man. I love your drawings.

[Buckster]

very interesting to see some environments from you mate, I dig the atmosphere in them and the theme.

the first one is very cool but feels a little flat to me. The buildings seem more like stage scenery than a real city, to me that is.

The second one I like a lot more, very nice atmosphere. I would like to see it fading to a more blue;ish tone in the distance (or something or the other^^)

Keep kicking it man!

[Eric Young]

amazing sketchbook, i dont really have any crits though. Just keep up the good work and i cant wait to see more
