Man, love the first two.. really.. the rawness of the raven is wonderful

[sourgasm]

that graphite stuff rules !

[hala]

ok
dude
1) yes i'm down for a hardcore camp. i just started uni again and move into an apartment and gotta settle down first, but i'd really like to help and be a part of it. i'll try and abduct a couple people as well to join in
2) your traditional always makes me pee myself with glee.

multimedia can be very cool, look forward to seeing how you approach that

[hunchback]

hello mr

well i gotta say your improvin leaps and bounds
i love your tradit stuff a lot hope you can get to the same level with your digital : P nice self portrati by the way

favorite so far is definately the lips and breast clenching graphite piece, very tastey

[Quike Garcia]

btw.. the camp sounds great...

Sorry for the double post

[{CKL}]

wilkerson- Lol, yeah my plan of attack is there, unfortunately I'm all over the place. I'm going to try to buckle down on some core training very soon. Hopefully this will enable me to pick my game plan back up and run with it.

JHR2- What up! Hey, I really dug the stuff you did for teamchow, thanks for the input. I definitely need to start putting in the time to do some referenced or life study work via digital. I think I struggle with finishing my work quite a bit in this medium. BTW, if you're interested in my post on hala's thread stay tuned.

rich- You want in on this action? Sure. I look forward to breaking you. Muahahaha!

sourgasm- thanks for dropping in!

quike- Stay tuned on the camp stuff. I'll be posting up stuff about it next week.

hala- Sweet. Once I finish up my current workload and do some outlining I'll shoot you a PM.

hunchback- Hey, thanks for dropping by! I'm glad you enjoy the lips and tits, I know I do...they're attached to my wife! OH NOES!!!

Nothing to update with . I'm busy finishing off a painting.

It takes time to learn digital. I prefer sketching with vectors, which is not the way they are meant to be used, but you've got to find that balance between what you love and execution.

[IndigoSummers]

Wow! I love your self-portrait. Wicked cool. Great work on the Team Chow stuff, really inspiring. They all have this "moody" aura that is super yummy.

I like what your doing with mixing digital and traditional. I personally think your digital work is great. Perhaps not as strong as your traditional media work, but I think that is just a matter of time. I like the quality that your digital work has, though. It retains a traditional "feel" that is really nice.

I can totally sympathize with you though. I'm more of a tradtional artist myself, and there isn't a day that goes by that I don't want to throw my computer out the window or break my tablet over my head...

Also, btw, that Raven is awesome. Totally the right time of year for it, too.

[{CKL}]

Indigo- Hey, haven't seen you around in a while, hope everything is going good with you. Thanks for the feedback.

Having a uhh...cash flow problem atm....hopefully I can take care of it and get back to my work I have planned. Bleh...

[TASmith]

Hey man, I just went through your sketchbook, and I greatly enjoyed it. You've got skills and a nice dark vibe in all your work! Keep working and posting as much as you can. It's been almost two months now!

[{CKL}]

TASmith- Argh, you're right it has been a while. I've been doing some traditional studies, and touching up illustration work that I've already posted.

Urm, something quick and dirty.

this last post

is awesome x 999999999999999999999999999999999999999

I hate being redundant, but, considering it's been a long stretch off inactivity, I'll throw down a progress shot of everything that I've been retouching. I'm trying to get everything to portfolio level, but we'll see. If you dig around, you should be able to find the old versions of these in my sketchbook. I most likely won't be starting any new illustrations until next year. I need to really buckle down on my traditional stuff so my portfolio for graduate school will be ready. If and when I get some decent shots, I'll post up my traditional stuff as it comes along. However, I will be finishing up everything that I've already started.

mmmmm....beautiful pencil work dude

Love this kind of stuff, and nice digitals as well! I wish I was this well-rounded

[{CKL}]

Jaytea & drd- Thanks for the encouragement, I really do appreciate it.


So, I've almost got myself set up for grad. school. I can't wait until January rolls around...my first semester back in and I am most definitely taking two life drawing classes at least. Much needed return to basics.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Wow, some pretty cool character concepts here mate, really likeing some of the variations on the samurai

-E

[Quike Garcia]

Man, love the last update.. specially the old lady piece

[Spaggen]

You got some really awesome characters and designs man. I love the last bunch, especially the old lady as Quike Garcia said. Really disturbing and scary but still interesting. The good vs bad pieces are great too.

More!

[{CKL}]

Spaggen- Thanks! Hopefully they'll be even stronger designs once I finish them up. I'll have to give your SB a look.

Quike- Hey! I hope you're doing well, I'll have to swing around your SB later.

MLE- I think I've got a bit more ways to go on the Japanese designs, but thanks for the compliment! BTW, I always lurk around your SB, great stuff.

More WIP action.

[JailHouseRock2]

Dude, you've been imporving so fast man, this one - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...9&d=1256956082

So cool man, keep at it!

[Quike Garcia]

Love this last WIP.. really..

Just name time and place, and this samurai showdown shall begin

[maximunki]

I loved your Seasons CHOW, it was one of my favourites, really original concept.

Just been through your whole SB and I love it! Your post back on page 2 with the plan for your portfolio was just what I needed to read, I get so confused with all these different directions I want to take and what I should be working on when... I really need a better plan.

[Black Spot]

Her body and legs are solid and grounded while the rest of her isn't. It hasn't quite gelled yet, but I'm sure you're working on it as the idea is cool.

[Mohzart]

Im loving the last post. How simple it is makes it all that better. keep it up

[{CKL}]

Since my last post I managed to get a job teaching art at a high school in houston! YA!

[Jovian M]

You'd be cooler than my art teacher, I think. Show us some AAAAAAAART.

[Quike Garcia]

Congrats man.. good to have you back..

[~KJK~]

very cool stuff! ill drop by more often

[drd]

A teacher?? Nice one! I could never teach any class below college level myself, not enough patience, lol. Is this just a part-time thing you're looking at or do you want to teach for a career?

Nice sketchbook man, and thanks much for the helpful critique.

[ThomasM]

really nice sketchbook you have here, looking great! I love your traditional stuff particularly. Keep it up and I'll definitely be back to check out more!
