todays play...no more abusing brushes on landscapes after this,want to get some more characters done

**Abrodos** · February 4th, 2009, 10:21 AM

Those landscapes are nicely rendered, and all the characters have a lot of personality. You could try to combine these two things, to see what happens. For example, some narrative illustration or so.

Anyway, nice start to a sketchbook! keep it up!

**Kalim** · February 4th, 2009, 12:58 PM

Wonderful landscapes! Make some lanscape more in 3D! would look mighty.

**free-willy** · February 5th, 2009, 01:36 PM

Abrodos:thanks,yeah i'll give that a try

Kalim:haha,you know how long it takes to make a 3d scene with lotsa foliage....too long,if i came up with an interesting environment then i'll have a go at it

Hi all,

loooonnngggg time no post, found and scanned in tons of doodles from various notebooks etc.

Going to try and be more active on these forums so hopefully should post more often.

thanks for looking

A painting i did over last xmas break, 2-3 hours each day over a week. Acrylic paints on board,...about 50-60 cm wide i think.

**free-willy** · May 20th, 2012, 11:00 AM

should of kept more progress photos while i was painting, lesson learnt for next time

**free-willy** · May 20th, 2012, 11:49 AM

came up with a cool way to get ideas for what to draw, works for me. Take an existing image, play with the cutout filter, basically simplify image with the cutout filter untill you 'see' something, accept and sketch over the result of the filter

**free-willy** · May 20th, 2012, 12:41 PM

Character concepts for a potential ios game im coming up with, thanks for looking

**Bing!** · October 14th, 2012, 07:47 AM

free willY!

Im really diggin your latest batch of sketches. I feel that when it comes to the finished piece a lot of the life and gesture from your sketches are missing. Try to push for more line quality in the cleanup stage.

**Streben** · October 14th, 2012, 07:52 AM

Haha love these little critters! Made my day

Looking forward to see more of em!

**free-willy** · October 18th, 2012, 05:32 PM

Streben: thanks

Bing!: thanks,i agree with you, this was just to get the doodles to a point where i could imagine them closer in a game, once ive chosen the ones to go together i'll work them up more painterly
