Sketchbook 2011-!!!2011 HERE we go (page 91 COLOSSAL UPDATE) :) --->

[Ricardo Robles]

wow the armor designs are superb, love it when you animalize them, like the last, some fish-like.. Great..

[AlexTooth]

Cool stuff king, anatomy and characters are all looking really solid!

[Jamie Romoser]

killin it man

[witcrack]

Your value works and designs always intrigue me. Good job as always. Keep it up, king!

[Cameli]

re gamoto giati ka8e fora p koitao to sketchbook sou einai sa na vlepo diaforetiko atomo???milame veltionesai sfaira!You should also try to give some movement to ur characters it makes them look more dynamic eisai sxedon telios me ti stasi dokimasai na dwseis ligo kinisi cheers reeee

[Krato]

hey king, nice update, combine some enviros and characters, make them with er normal lighting, no daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaark enviros (as in lighting) have it be like a daytime thing or something.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Some pretty fucking shweet rendering man! Lots of nice soft tones

[jackpot_anjr90]

Your figures just keep on improving! One thing though...keep an eye out on those proportions and the way you lay clothing on your characters. For example, in your last character, the sash under the belt seems to be off center with the rest of the body. Little details like that will make your characters a lot better. Keep it up

[tokotewhero]

your sketches rock man! think i just got my morning dose of inspiration!

cheers

[Lyno]

Nice figures as always mate . For the last figure, i would put his left foot a bit further, I keep having the feeling he will fall to the front .

[Sublimus]

Holy tits, dude! You really picked up your game!

[teapo]

woot~ loving the knight :3 i took your advice with rendering buddy~ thanks a lot :3 i need to do it even more now. can't wait for the next update

[knut-]

Nice anatomy work on the previous page, especially the move of the woman's bodies.

Υ.Γ. Ωραίος πατριώτη!

[Beelow]

Lighting in terms of value placement on the knight character seems off. Cloth is over a bit to far left; it doesn't seem centered. He also looks like he is about to fall over as well. Be careful of weight distribution. On the upside, your attention to how metal looks is well done. Design is good too. Nice life drawings. It seems like you're getting it together. Waiting for more updates.

[Lakka]

Knight rendering looks fantastic, seems to be coming a habit....

The drop shadow looks like it should go away from the viewer even more though.

Those quick sketches of skinny vs muscly looks very convincing, Great job on em!

[kingkostas]

Beelow-Thank you very much for the crit mate.These are not life drawings, they are from imagination , i am glad they can be confused as ones
Lakka-Thank you lakka .keep up the good work

ok here some things for today.I start understand some things better and better even if it may dont seem like that.I am just total into studying so i know there are a lot of mistakes, proportionally etc but keep in mind that with each sketch i find one thing or two .
Thank you really much for supporting and giving me power to study more and more!!!

the enviro from the ass pocket book and the one i used for one study are from ref.I wanted to quickly sketch some ref enviros and play a little.I will do it some more probably, cause i need to add some things in my poor mind

[Lakka]

lol, I have said this many times now, but your works look effortless.... How can you make so much so quick, it's crazy...


it's not like it's just a thousand human heads, it's just random subjects and sgjisdgjkjkdjkspasmedout

[kingkostas]

lakka just to throw a quick answer, thats the fact why i do all these mistakes in everysingle work (that i know they are there, like the man falling etc.).These are focused studies and in each of them inside all the trash there is something hidden
Probably i can say, it is the hardcore studying

[BludHund]

well done with these 3D geometric studies and value studies, an excellent exercise that will pay off. Try to work a bit on proportions though (mostly in terms of cross-section...width and depth, not length, of some body parts). Also on that pic of the beached ships, sails look like sheets of lead...LOL, I know that's not the point of the study, but its bothering me

Also: remember to keep your strokes and lines meaningful, concentrate on having an intent, something you want to say, with each one.

Good work, man.

[Krato]

i think that in some of your pieces your value range is too great, like the last peice the light is hitting that guy but yet he still has really dark peices on his armor, i suggest doing still lifes with metal cloth whatever

[Vatsel]

loving your studies mate..
and in that quantity - awesome!

[witcrack]

Holy shit, king! I agree that your speed is ridiculously high! How little hours in a day, do you spend NOT drawing?? I mean, I know you gotta be spending a lot of time drawing, but do you eat at all?? It's just that i find that your SB thread here is an amazement on its own. Your stuffs can be improved a lot still (and i will just leave it to you on which one is which to fix first, cuz i am sure you are far from clueless), but the way you show your progress in every updates are crazy!!! *inhales* .... phew... well, in short i am very amused ... by you .

Now i am very curious to see how you'd finish a piece (no pressure though, just my expectation).

[Morgado]

Wanna-Thnx very much mate.Yep i
Morgado-Yo david, thnx very much mate.Life is busy right now, i am also giving spanish exams in 3 weeks or so.Yep i know what you mean and i promise soon i will have the skills to do it.

Life's busy for everyone these days eheh. Don't worry about "lack of skill" man, your skills are great. Just try!

The color on the ships piece is very well achieved, congrats!

[arestocrat]

nice stuff, king, digging the ass pocket book thingy... need to get one of those too XD

Good solid stuff here kep them coming. Great Skbook don't be afraid to post them a bit larger so we can see them in all there goodness.

[zou]

good work in value shading, really good !
with an awesome 3d look !

perhaps i must shade more cube and geometric things like you ! sure i must do

[kingkostas]

BludHund-Thank you very much for the critique mate.hehe dont worry cause i always try to apply what you guys are saying.Flaws always exist and when in fast mode, there are faults, that means there is still more understanding needed.I am working towards improving them all little by little
Krato-Thnx kevin.Yea i think i have to do some of it.Will see
Vatsel-Thankies very much mark
witcrack-haaha thnx very much mate.Well mostly i eat one time a day,i sleep late at nights.In daily program i sleep max 6 hours.To make it simpler, when i am home i open photoshop and start working+ assigments and non art studies.Thank yu very much.Keep up
Morgado-thank you very much mate.Yea i agree, and one thing i always say to myself in order to keep up even when i am tired is that, there are people in worse situation (i mean i have a pc, i have a bed to sleep etc.)
arestocrat-hehehe get one mate, they are very comfortable.Probably the first page will go off but stick it toghether with some "paper glue film"Thnx
Mitze-thank you very much mate.I will try to post bigger and bigger things
zou-Thank you very much comrade.Yea yea i think it helps a lot.it upgrades a lot of skills

ok here today i havent worked a lot so came back and did some speedies
Thnx for supporting!!!
will comment tommorow cause i have to go

[Seraph Fawkes]

Nice values and those ships ))Silhouetes bit sloppy though, but if it was about speed, than it's okay.

I'm still can't imagine how you find time to do studies and some for nda project, and another stuff.

[kingkostas]

because i pass all lessons in university and my parents have low income, university gives me some money every year, other than that because i got the 2nd best grades in my semester, i got a small scholarship and got some extra money.So i dont do any external work(like waiter or something else).
Only side things are spanish,university assigments/and daily program,some social life (lol),nda working with you , one project for a serious educational "game", and some music

[Seraph Fawkes]

Wow, you are hardworker and deserve alot - to think, quite tough situation. Man, I wish you the best! I bet as soon as you decide for apply to some job you'll get it faster, than rabbits do their thing )
