Nice job on those watercolors. It would be cool to see if you could push it a little further with them in your fantasy illustrations. I like the feel of the one with the green orc type guy. Very cool.

WOw, esos sketches estan increibles.

Estas criaturas marinas están de muerte... me encanta sobre todo el cangrejo,, genial Ricardo

**Ricardo Robles** · May 8th, 2009, 05:27 AM

Hello people
Snasitra thank you, I´m trying to take up my level in watercolors, but in detailed works it´s too difficult... thanks man.
KromNz garcias por la visita, y por tus comentarios.. estoy tratando de crear un mundo submarino que sea especial.
Quikenobi gracias y un placer como siempre.
Esto es algo que empecé hace tiempo y lo acabo de terminar. Con un poco de prisa, la verdad..
Some finished stuff.

**Quike Garcia** · May 8th, 2009, 05:43 AM

Me encanta el detalle de la cadena

**KromNz** · May 8th, 2009, 06:03 PM

bueno, pues vas por un excelente camino

**Ricardo Robles** · May 9th, 2009, 10:43 AM

Kiquenobi gracias tío!
KromNz muchas gracias!
Here´s my new project, "Pentesilea". Just prepared to begin painting.

**Ricardo Robles** · May 9th, 2009, 07:37 PM

New submarine concepts

Ey, those are true Amazons, with one breast removed for shooting the bow. What kind of adventure are you inventing for them?
The fish with pincers is great! The submarine vehicle has a retractable shell for protecting against the sea monsters?
Good luck with the Anillo de Einstein web, I'm eager to see the result!

Ey, those are true Amazons, with one breast removed for shooting the bow

Hey Leo you know the terrain!!so acute!

It is a hard theme but if we must be realistic they were like this.. And Pentesilea was a virginal-but super warrior girl..
By the moment iam not inventing nothing for them,hahaah I want it to be a powerful image showing a moment after battle with men. If you see, there´s a melancholic detail in one of bodyguards of Pentesilea who is caressing a man´s hair. And Pentesilea mus be radiant..beautiful.
Yes, it becames a closed shell when there´s a danger... Imagine this in a long travel under water.. scary uh?
Thank you my friend!

Let me present it

Already at the top after five horrible days of climbing, the Orc leader Nornak made his offering and demanded his prize to the demon. Sultanar spoke only once and his voice made flying stones and trees:
“The Armor needs flesh, orc. The hand of an human child and his blood once a day. If you promise, The Armor will be yours.”
That was how Nornak was deceived, and how began his days of suffering.

Ya en la cima después de cinco días de horrible escalada, el líder orco Nornak hizo su ofrenda y exigió su premio al demonio.
Sultanar habló una sola vez y su voz hizo que volaran las piedras y los árboles:
"La Armadura necesita alimento, orco. La mano de un niño humano y su sangre una vez al día. Si te comprometes conmigo, La Armadura será tuya ".
Así fue como Nornak fue engañado, y cómo empezaron sus días de sufrimiento.

The first city landscape is a matte painting attempt, I think it hurts the eyes a bit.
These are watercolor works that I did for a job. I´m sorry for the bad quality photos, I tried to fix them a little, but for now is all I have.

**kingkostas** · May 12th, 2009, 09:29 AM

Very nice works.Your traditionals son muy interesante(lol studying some spanish lately)
.Very nice designs and i see you managed to handle some texture in this last one.Very good, i also have to try more on textures

See ya and thnx for visiting my sketchbook

**Quike Garcia** · May 12th, 2009, 09:34 AM

El orco me encanta.. y la idea de la armadura es genial..

Las acuarelas están de putifa

**Ricardo Robles** · May 13th, 2009, 08:15 PM

Kingkostas muchas gracias

Quiquenobi grasias man.

**Shadow Stalker** · May 14th, 2009, 08:05 PM

I really like your watercolor stuff... It would be nice to see some fantasy watercolors. Nice city enviro - love the colors.

**Ricardo Robles** · May 22nd, 2009, 06:25 AM

Hey Shadowstalker thanks! There are some fantasy Wc at the first pages of the thread, I don´t do it often..
chaotic self-portait

El autorretrato es realmente original

Me gusta mucho como va la ilustración de las amazonas

**KromNz** · May 27th, 2009, 01:22 AM

Hola!
Como siempre, con cada visita a tu SB encuentro mucha inspiración.

El retrato del orco, la serie de acuarelas con el tema japonés y tu autorretrato son los que más me han cautivado. Me parecen geniales!
Y el lenguaje corporal que expresan los personajes esta sensacional, mil historias me llegan nada más de mirar a la chica japonesa que esta agachada.
Increíble

**young paddy1** · May 29th, 2009, 08:38 AM

Those three japanese watercolours are truly beautiful, especially because of their near monochrome palettes, that still life looks really sumptuous, a little stylisation has really helped it along.
The amazon pic seems to be coming on well although the whole thing is a bit centralised, a little more width to the left showing more bodies in the river, or to the right showing the way ahead would be good.

keep bringing it.

cheerio

**Ricardo Robles** · May 29th, 2009, 11:05 AM

Quiquenobi muchas gracias makina!!
Kromnz, tus palabras realmente me alegraron el día, es muy amable por tu parte. Un abrazo!
YoungPaddy thank you so much, the two watercolors of under are the same one, it was nearly 2 m of paper... thank you for the comment. i think i will add some people to the left side of image.

This is a test I did with watercolor, in a A4 sheet. (not cotton paper)Later I ironed the paper cause it was full of wrinkles.
There´s no much sense on do it on Wcolor I know, but it was only a test with traditional textures.I want to work it with difficult themes...first one is only watercolor, the oher is retouched in Ps.

**Ricardo Robles** · May 29th, 2009, 11:05 AM

some inked watercolors. 20-30 minutes each, real size.
It´s a vice

**Ricardo Robles** · June 2nd, 2009, 06:35 PM

**Shadow Stalker** · June 2nd, 2009, 08:09 PM

Omg. Post #174 is amazing! I love it so much.

**MIKETAYLOR** · June 3rd, 2009, 06:18 AM

el color es muy bueno. me encantan las transiciones de colores que aces, en este caso en el fondo, de colores tierra a morado y luego el azul. mola mucho. pero la pose la veo antinatural. tiene los 2 pies en el suelo apollados completamente y parece que se a parado a posar para el retrato. nose tu como lo veras. un saludo

**Quike Garcia** · June 3rd, 2009, 06:51 AM

Este último guerrero se sale..

Muy buena elección de colores

**FAST ART** · June 15th, 2009, 06:59 PM

wooow, man that last concept-characters with watercolours are really hot.. also your whole watercolour-work is very good.. and your sketches are great too..
in the digital area i found a little weakness..
i think it will be no big deal for an artist like you to resolve it.
its the contrast in your digital pictures.. you have to try making more contrast in the foreground and some less at the background.. it will give your pictures the deepness it needs..
when you are working with layers just trying around with the curves in the front layers..

and dude, that pic in post 175 is awsome, first i dont see this guy in the carrier bag.. would be cool to make a female version of it with a demon-dog in the bag

..and thanks a lot for stopping by in my sketchbook..

also high rating

**Ricardo Robles** · June 18th, 2009, 08:21 AM

Thank you so much for the comments guys!
Shadowstalker thank you mate!
Miketaylor thanks! La verdad es que la posición de la pierna derecha falla en la zona de la rodilla y el pie, le da una sensación un tanto estática. Esto, unido al hecho de que esté apoyando la espada en el hombro provoca lo que comentabas, que parece que esté posando. Intentaré arreglarlo, gracias por la crítica porque es justo lo que necesito.
Quiquenobi gracias, me alegro de que te gusten mis colores.
Fastart Thank you dude!I agree with you in my contrast lacks... i´m working in my atmospheric perspective.. so thanks for the curves tip.

Some BIG upload, live studies and a step by step in that depresive demon.
Some planetary enviro speedpaint too.
I have an english version of the Wheelplanet stuff (portfolio pieces) hope they are well written.
