[Ricardo Robles]

lets all keep up!!!here a fast thing, i liked the result so far

[zou]

nice pose as always, your experiments make me guess you're having much fun !

haha you're right about the studies, me too , i'm thinking i should do more finished work but i see so much flaws ....

anyway, i forgot to mention that your compositions are very good balanced !

keep up

[MacTire]

Nice one king!! Nice overexposed camera effect going on here. I think it could do with some form of boundary just behind the characters feet, I assume he's standing at a cliff edge judging from the back and midground?
Great job nonetheless, always happy to see another kingkostas update!!

[Beelow]

I like the fact that you are exploring color a bit more to see what works. Not to often do I see people do this. It's always good to try different things to see what visually works. Keep at it Kingkostas.

[kischi]

Man great updates! Love your gesture drawings. And the oxigenmask lady with the sword is so awesome - thanks for those great close ups!

[knut-]

I like your brush use very much here. Big masses of tones are great. Ok, some colors seem a little bit weird to me (the blue tones on legs) but i am far from writing about it. Also thanks for the greatest support on my sb.

Ρε τι έκανες τρελέ, κάθησες και έφτιαξες τον χαρακτήρα! Θεός! Σε ευχαριστώ, αλλά όντως, ας συνεχίσουμε να δουλεύουμε. Α, οι τόνοι εκτός από τα χάιλάιτς σου φάνηκαν καλοί? Έβαλα πολλά ανοιχτά? Το ντεγκραντάρισμα βασικά το έκανα επίτηδες έτσι. Τέσπς, απάντησε όποτε μπορείς στο sb μου. Τσαγια!

[kingkostas]

thank you very much mates!!!Will reply tommorow cause i have to close the pc.
good night

[Krato]

that helmet is so bad ass.. really awesome character man.. except for that third arm.. what is it? just a random arm sticking out of his back? hmm doesnt read well

[Lyno]

flips, figures are too nice, boem .
Great man!

[zou]

waaahh i wanna do poses too !

and the concept is so inspiring
i thought of how this man could protect his lower legs, it would be better if he can block attack by another defensive weapon.

i agree with krato about the third arm

anyway you're always doing great work

[DefiledVisions]

Very nice work on these latest sketches. Adding colour to those gestures brings a nice feeling to them.
I'm very fascinated by how you approach a work and the iterations you go through. The one further up with the purple layer and then the yellow-green tones is striking. I'd like to see a rendered piece by you, something that really sums up what you know to this point!
surprise me keep it up mate!

[witcrack]

Hey king! just thought of dropping a... "NIIICE!!" because i really enjoy your recent updates especially the gestures.
Oh and, i'm curious about the third arm too. How would it serves him in action (battle)?

[Metal Fingers]

that last character is sweet man, good stuff. I actually learned something about construction looking at all those gestures. cheers!~

[kingkostas]

zou-Thank you very much mate!!!Now i pushing myself towards this things by taking part to the CHOW
MacTire-Thank you much mate .Well yep near a cliff but ok i do these quite fast so it can be somehow random .Now for the chow is a little more specific.
Beelow-Thank you mate .I love experimenting and i think thats a great opportunity the PC is offering, so i think we have to use it as an advantage.
kischi-Thank you mate .No problem i will try to keep it up
knut--THnx very much dhmhtrh.Sometimes if you break the blackness it offers either a good base or sometimes some nice effects.Sorry for being abscent these days.I will pass by your sketchbook
Krato-hehee thnx very much kevin.Lol totally in, the arm is a random thing i did there ahhaahah, i guess it seems totally random.
Lyno-Thank you very much Lyno
zou-Thank you comrade .You are doing a great work with the figures yourself
DefiledVisions-Thank you very much mate .I hope soon i will solve a lot of problems and be able to do more complete works.
witcrack-heheh thank you very much mate.Well sorry it was random lol .Maybe someone can come up with something ;P
Metal Fingers-Thank you very much Alex .I am glad these sketches offered something .The more i understand the whole body the more infos i will be able to give

k i am doing a lot of anatomy things and now i am working for the chow to push myself some more on the side.
sorry if i dont post a lot replies and comments but here in my hometown i dont have the same time, i even sleep early

lets all keep up!!!!thnx for supporting!!!For some figures i used posemaniacs

[PHATandy]

Loving the chow so far dude, the design is looking sweet.
As far as the thumbnails go, the two on the right hand side look like they are the best. They have a good sense of depth and overlapping with the light/dark areas.

Looking forward to seeing it, keep it up dude.

[Joystx_]

fantastic study. nice.

[zou]

your figures studies are always inspirational !

i like the girl with the parrot (sure i will vote for u)
if it was me i would choose the fourth thumb

the last two parrot woman are not as good as the first

keep up mate
cheers

[kingkostas]

thnx mates will reply later.
here some more progress.Wanna choose one and keep up
see ya and thnx

[Krato]

her face is flat :/ the wood looks a little weird needs more work and maybe alternate lighting as well like a white faint light from the bottom good studies i do to do more :/

[kingkostas]

PHATandy-Thank you very much andy .I choose one of those
Joystx_-thank you very much
zou-thank you very much mate.I chose the last thumb and i am already keep working on it .I can say i am somehow happy because i am able to follow the thumbnail
Krato-thnx very much kevin.I thought the face was good, but ok i worked it some more.Ofcourse i will keep working everything.What you think makes the wood strange?thnx

here more
have to go

[Tom Fenton]

ok thank you all very much for the great support!!!!really as defiledvisions said in his sketchbook, the people in here are all a great community and a great power improving all together.This site holds a great artistic power.Imagine all the forum working for a project ahhaah
lets all keep up!!!here a fast thing, i liked the result so far

what if we all made something big ? i suppose this is. CHOW is big, but in concentrated form?

[kingkostas]

yep its something big but as you said concentrated.Ofcourse the result images all create a nice and strong artbook but also thats a concentrated form.
Probably something bigger would be something more scientific.
thnx

[Mister Dark]

Your armors are kicking me in nuts man!
