Xmas postcard

[Morgado]

Hi everyone! Finally got myself to start posting a bit more around here.
So might as well start with a sketchbook topic.

Here's some recent character sketches I've done, supposed to be some sort of soldier.


Some old robot sketches


A recent speedies



This one is almost finished I'd say


Crits are always more than welcome

[Izer]

Very cool posts, the soldier reminds me of Cyrax (from mortal combat) for some reason, oh it's the color i think, those are all awesome. I really like those thumbs as well and the cool ships in the last post. Over all i just like the ways its done.

[FightingSeraph]

I like what you have so far, yet I would like for you to do is broaden your horizons.

[meth]

hey man love your work, looking forward for new ones
and 5* from me

[Morgado]

yet I would like for you to do is broaden your horizons.

How do you mean?

[maria riaz]

hey nice work...especially that greenish environment...i like how u blend the textures...cool stuff

cheers!!!

[JakehC]

i like the way ou stylize the legs of your characters.

[Morgado]

Thanks for the comments everyone, I'm glad you like what you see but there's still a long road ahead.

I'm calling this one done, hope you like it

[FightingSeraph]

How do you mean?

As in do something you haven't done before, such as a landscape for example.

[Morgado]

Here's some more stuff, keep the C&C coming

[Kuidf^!]

Great potential in these digital pieces, nice work

[Morgado]

Thanks Kuidf^!. Still a long way to go though... I have problems staying loose when I try to paint by shapes.

Anyways, some environments




I've been working on this one for some time already

[maria riaz]

hey nice new updates here lots of atmosphere and depth. in the last sketch the envi looks gr8 just those two standing figures are looking duplicate of each other, the same case is with the flying ships, if u add a bit of variety to it these its definately a five star piece. And thanx a bunch for usefull advices u gave back on my SB now i understand what u were saying, its just i used the reference for that peice and followed the composition of the photograph...wasnt actually looking at compositional aspects, ur comment was quite an eye opener, iwl work on that...cheeers!!!!!

[Morgado]

Thanks for the comments Maria, I'll definetly look into it, atleast the characters (in fact looking at them now, the foreground one is looking too big as well).
I have a habit of re-using material to speed up the process, but yeah sometimes I should do more to hid that ^^

[Ricardo Robles]

Hey Morgado!
Very good works mate! I specially love the extraterrestrial ship in post #8, really cool!!
I like the fog in the legs of the first characters.
That last enviro got a dense atmosphere, great..

I´ll be back!

[Morgado]

Nice to see you here Ricardo, keep showing up

[Morgado]

So here's another sketch. Trying to go for a more dynamic way of painting

[maria riaz]

yea a lot of strange things happening inside artist's head well u know better u r one 2...last update is coming out nice, just the right leg looks a bit off.

cheeers!!!

[Morgado]

Yeah the leg looks strange, but I kindof like the shape it does, so maybe I'll fix it via inserting some kind of gadget there to not break the silhuette... to be honest I'm more worried about the left arm

Anyways, many stuff to fix in many paintings, but I prefer learning from my mistakes and move on to a new one, and fix old ones later

Here's another quickie, trying other techniques and brushes

[Morgado]

Guess its done

[DeKal]

thanks for commenting my sb man. really awesome stuff here. great compositions, good variety, figures are well and proportioned...no real crits, just keep pushin

[Morgado]

Was my pleasure DeKal, I just try to give back to the community as much as I can, whenever I can

And thanks for the kind words, and indeed I'll keep pushing

[Ricardo Robles]

Very good experiments.
nice work

[Morgado]

Here's some more stuff, a wee bit of a big dump this time

The Wandudo!






Spaceships!


Random character sketches

[Morgado]

A fast one

[Morgado]

And some thumbs for a sort of flying drone

[Eric Young]

digital work looks great, keep it up!

[maria riaz]

hey nice new updates Morgado....character sketches look gr8....robots and machinery is ur forte keep diging...cheers!!!!

[Holland]

Some really nice work here. Your characters are really loose but readable, loving the drone designs!

[Morgado]

Thank you for the kind comments everyone

I'll return to the drones soon, I want to take it to a full concept. In the meanwhile, a fast brush test
