My sketchy book of stuffs!

[rumpenstiltzkin]

Hi there!

A little swede here, happily working with games as an animator atm and the first game I worked on for iOS was recently released!
Struggling to jumpstart myself to draw comics which I been wanting to do for a long time, but hopefully I can kick myself to get started soon enough.

I always like to hear any pointers taking me into the right direction so feel free to give any sort of feedback, I can take harsh, but honest crits!


As usual jump to the end of this sketchbook to see the most recent stuff =)

[JeromeFoster]

Very nice start to a sketchpad...
I like the freedom you use in your lines and motion in these studies...
lets see more

[Metso]

You go ! this gonna be awesume ^^ good luck

And I do like your skydivers, hey upload some of your older stuff too, not just recent I know you have some pretty niffy things to show, you don't wanna miss getting some good feedback on those, right? ^^

[rumpenstiltzkin]

colors!

[GoGoJojo]

Wow! When you said colors, you weren't kidding! I'm just starting to get used to colors myself, but I think you should start off with a more muted base color, and then work your way into the the more vibrant colors of the piece. By the way, I love how little and curvy your figures are. They're so cute!

and about the colors, was just fooling around and made them very bright, not colors i usually work with :p



and a little colored doodle to update with, im just totally uninspired to draw anything lately, just sitting doing 30secs, 5-10 min studies and stuff and not posting caus figured it might get boring i guess x)

[rumpenstiltzkin]

[rumpenstiltzkin]

trying a bit of realism... im horrible with that

[RickyRubyo]

gestures are nice and solid. good dimensional form

my only crit would be to keep workign on faces though

thank you
and yes, i just recently started focus a bit more on faces, i been avoiding the subject for to long now

[FightingSeraph]

You have some sweet character designs, but I'd recommend that you try perspective, mechanical design, environments, etc.

more face practices, and i tried animate too, but using photoshop to animate sucks =(
anyone know of any good program too 2d animate in, except photoshop or flash? :>

[rumpenstiltzkin]

some character sketches

[sharp_cuttR]

great character designs, and color usage. i just wanted to write you and suggest what i've just recently started doing is to use the linear dodge for painting flesh tones. it works wonders. just set the opacity and fill down to something in the teens (*i usually work with 12-14 range). but, yeah thats it - keep working at it. let me know if this helps. take it easy

[BToole]

Love the work here! Especially the run cycle you have near the bottom! Great stuff! Keep at it

[rumpenstiltzkin]

sharp_cuttR: thank you and yes i do use linear dodge myself sometimes, as well as experiment alot with the other effects as well ^^ it gives nice results
BToole: thank you very much!

[rumpenstiltzkin]

urf think my tablet pen has broken, it makes scratches on the wacom and feels strange

anywho, heres some random stuff

[rumpenstiltzkin]

first couple of characters from a story im trying to make into a comic x)

[rumpenstiltzkin]
