Congratulations on the job!!!! I'm sure you'll be a rock-star at it .
My work always gets flavored by whatever project I'm working on. -Can't wait to see how your SB develops

[Tea of Doom]

Haha thx Rhubix, I'm curious to see what will happen myself.

Quick Kekai study before going to bed. Trying to work on focus point sharpness and silhouettes. Link to the original.

Hi! Really nice sketches and a lot of great ideas! Also a like your portraits. Хорошо понимаешь русский?

[vatteh]

Great sense of composition in these environments.

[NeonPoweredFirefly]

Cool stuff! Good work on the enviros!

[FrogOnAZipline]

I really like these environments, they suck you in, and I think you have a lot of potential. I read some critical comments on your abilities, but you know better. things get better and better with practice, we all start somewhere. Nice images!

[Charles Ratteray]

cool environments man

[V3T]

Your envoiro's look great!

[JohnPrince]

Great sketchbook Tea, it is really inspiring following your progress right through from page 1. I particularly like The Hobbit images.

[BlackDelphin]

Nice work you have here, keep sharing with us!

If there's one thing i'd suggest, is composition, to work more on it.
And atmospheric composition. You have lovely landscapes, but there's no
real mood to them.

Cheers!

[Tea of Doom]

Thanks everyone.

Here is the continuation of the last assgnement.

[JakeB]

Love sketchbooks like this, so good. Had a quick flick through, and you've stepped it up so much. Not just compared to the very beginning, but even recently, your stuff's getting better so quick. Great work, keep it coming

[Matthias Kinnigkeit]

Very cool stuff! I particularly like the landscape pice from #131! I can´t really say anything about compostion nd stuff because I don´t know much about this but your sceneries have interesting narratives to them. Great SB keep it up!

[vices]

those two guys in the snow are awesome.. incredible composition and feeling~

[Rhubix]

Last update more than a month ago Say WHAA??

Ok yea i've been pretty busy mostly with work stuff but also i fianlly found a place to move out so yeah.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Alright now let's get down to business. So, as far as the assignement is concerned, here are some adjusted versions of the previous pics as well as a new establishing shot. The assignement was handed out a long time ago but i'm currently working on an interior shot for one of these structures.

Also, totaly unrelated to that, some more sketches of people on the metro. I particularly liked the girl in the beanie so decided to try and do a paintover.

[Tea of Doom]

Bomb suits! Because real-life space-marines are awesome.

[Fetsch]

Hey man! realy great stuff, and great improvement since your start! Keep going, i see constant improvement!

[Tea of Doom]

Current Chow entry. Might post some work-related stuff in the future.

[Revidescent]

Wow, I really love those metro sketches. Really lovely fluid style. The last couple of enviros are also fabulous.

The CHoW image has some really nice stuff going for it (I especially like the way you've worked with the branch/antler shapes, and the animal's head) but the anatomy has a few issues. First off, she's in a very loungey sort of pose, but there's no sense of weight. Her whole upper body feels off, especially the way the neck and shoulders connect to the torso, and the underlying ribcage/breast shape. It looked a lot more solid in the earlier sketches, so another pass on the structure might do some good. =)
