Hi. Thought I would contribute with some stuff now that I have some time to paint. Hope you like it.

Il keep uploading new stuff when I can. Any comments/suggestions appreciated

[jimmy'z]

cool drawings

[walnut]

Is it just me or does that kid's robot arm look like an elaborate sextoy? Anyways, like the designs, jazzy colours and rendering. Only that squid i'm not so crazy about, the tentacles' look bugs me somehox. But don't let such a small comment keep you from posting more, on the contrary!

[maeshanne]

[karen_]

Thanks everyone! glad you like it so far.

Two studies.

[zeo-x]

really really cool stuff. love the characters in the first post. can't wait to see more.

[karen_]

zeo - thank you. I have some more characters comming up so stay tuned.

Did this on a friends computer, not much but.
This brush sort of gave it a plastic feel, not sure I like it that much.
thanks for looking

[karen_]

This one is sortof a disaster but.. im not going to work on it any more.

[walnut]

Yeah, the legs are a little funky but the head looks great. That blue thing he's holding, is that his hat?

[AlexTooth]

Awesome, unique and fun. But I wish they were a bit bigger

Anyway, you are a great painter and this is going to shape up to be an excellent sketchbook I can tell!

[RBeek]

damn your characters are so cool lol though i cant figure out what the bombhead guy is holding like a skirt or a bastket.. hmm ohwel looks good anyway

[lucretia]

Awesome stuff. I really like the design in the last image you posted

[tomjones]

I just wanted to say how inspiring your work is - I really like it. It's a shame you're abandoning your latest painting. I agree with Walnut that the legs are a bit odd, but other than that I think he's great. I particularly like the tone of the right hand. Great stuff!

[Knarf]

You have creepy things, I like it. Unique characters got me hooked, subscribed. So keep posting!

[Josef K.]

[karen_]

thanks thanks.. heres a creature that I spent a bit to much time on, I will probably redo it later but might aswell show the thing.
+ 2 speedpaintings.. the full body was based on the other sketch tho, Need to work on that " realistic " look more.

[monstertree]

Oh my god, I love it! More more more Maybe a little more finished stuff? And I'd like to see them a little bigger, other than that I cannot crit I'm afraid.

[AustenFM]

Badass sketchbook so far! I especially love the bomb headed fellow in post 13.

Keep it up!
