Stickboy makes good! [ update 03-28 - Neuromancer- the beginning of the end ]

I spent about 50 hours on that one, which is about 20 hours less than my last one. i'm a bit slow at them heh.

[Wasker]

that is a fucking sick fucking cast drawing. I can almost feel the cast when I touch my monitor. Good job dude, and gratz to getting into the atelier!

edit: I checked a page back and found this diamond, http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1241213834

awesome sauce.

on the crit side I could say that you probably need to spend more time getting the pose and forms of your characters to read better

[DanielC]

Lookeen good maaan. Nice planes on that ear.
As for the character, maybe throw in some more exotic stuff on it ?

Keep voking !

[MattGamer]

very sweet work man! i can't stand 2 hours on one
thing let alone 50 hours. fantastic!!!

lovin the characters. ;]

ps. i love 5th element. i wish there was a second one
with all the badassity as the first!

[Dished]

hoohooo that cast drawing is looking sweet man, it looks smooooooth

[hunchback]

i could put my headphone iin that sexual ear.
howed you get such smooth transition and coverage with a freakin pencil?

[courtyard]

The way you rendered the shine on that earlobe kills me--beautiful, thoughtful work. Your perseverance is really paying off.

[sourgasm]

wasker - indeed, that has been a long, long running problem of mine. MUST OVERCOME ;p

daniel - thank ya. that particular guy was meant to be kind of subtle, since he's meant for a Web site header. may have taken it a bit too generic. i'll rework and repost.

maaattttgamer - they'd probably just cast vin diesel and fux it up ;p

hunchback - thanks, man. i'll shoot you a PM about cast.

dawn-courtyard - thanks!

[danlambert]

Cast drawings are amazing, really showing some skill and patience there.
I also really like that little creature a few pages back, more of those please!
Peace!

[yoonate]

cool stuff

[Pixie Bergman]

Wow good stuff! That cast drawing is sweet! keep it up!

[sourgasm]

thanks, guys ;]

sorry for the lack of updates. all of my time goes towards projects i can't show yet. pfffft, geh.

here are some digital life drawings, at least. bit off a bit more than i could choose with that second one, and it shows.

[DanielC]

Looks good man. watch out with those feet !

[towy]

really realistic ,yes same Dan maybe check the feet in for the first girl, really interesting work..

[sourgasm]

i didn't get to spend as much time as I had hoped down there. maybe i'll revisit the area. thanks for the advice!

[sourgasm]

Finished up my third cast. Went a bit slower than I would have liked, but still sped up a bit from the last one. These things are so hard to scan ;P

I'll post some sketchbook pages here in the next few days. I actually drew a couple things for myself FINALLY.

[Dished]

awesome man! too bad we didnt get to braid each others hair and paint our nails when i was there. next time though! looking forward to those sketchbook pages

[courtyard]

The cast drawing is incredible--I especially love the chip! You've come so far with your life drawings, too. Looking forward to when you can show us more work.

[kikindaface]

Wow dude, really awesome cast drawing ! really realistic ! Great knowledge about light and shadows ! Keep it up !

[sketcheth]

The casts are a blast to look at and your designs are looking great too...keep improving, man....inspiring!

[sourgasm]

dished: aw, maybe next time. why don't you just move here?

courtyard: thanks! i'm pretty anxious to show what i've been working on as well. it takes up all of my time and leaves me no personal work to show ;p

walid, sketcheth: thanks!

[Jonas_J]

Nice cast drawings! and your at the CA atelier? Cool, how's it like?
Im strongly considering going there in a few years, so what pieces did you include in your portfolio? Hope you dont mind me asking

[hunchback]

Niiccceeeeeeee
sure looks like a cast

[Catatafish]

wow, that cast is perfect...totally stunning and realistic, awesome work!

[Peetaer]

That's one of the best cast drawings I've ever seen. What medium? Charcoal?

[sourgasm]

Braintree: thanks. i can send you a link to my awful admissions portfolio, if you want to expose your eyes to such horror ;P

hunch,cata: thanks!

Peetaer: that one was done with good ol graphite.

[Jonas_J]

Thanks that would be great

[sourgasm]

weeelllp

looks like i'm going to have some personal stuff to post over the next few weeks, so i might as well kick start my sketchbook again.

my first batch of thumbnails for a new class. spent about 30 minutes to an hour on each. purposefully loose and fugly, since composition was the only thing of importance, and details mostly just get in the way when figuring that junk out. sorry for the shite values ;P

[kikindaface]

Wow dude, nice thumbnails ! i find the 2nd one is the best, tho you could change a few things ! i think you know that the eye is attracted by the lightest values in an illustration ( and by faces too ) ! So instead of puting the lightest values on the right side of the thumbnail, you should put it just behind monster, like a light coming from behind him ! Anway, the camera angle is really dynamic, and the abstract shapes are nice ! i'm gonna check again your sb and i'm looking forward to see an amazing piece ! Keep it up

[sourgasm]

hey walid, thanks for the input!

i totally flaked on the value range in all of those. i'd say values in general are probably my biggest issue right now. my brain just refuses to get it

i actually paint with the histogram panel open. baha.
