[Lateman]

hahaha nice man!!!

[Emil_J.]

wow it must have taken ages drawing those lizards - good job! and nice colors in the char aswell.

[Jonas_J]

Love the lizards!
last one has an avatar-ish vibe to it

[Cameli]

Haha nice updates!The lizards are awesome!

[Black Spot]

I've enjoyed looking through your SB. The brick on page 1 was really good, I'd like to see some more traditionally painted stuff from you. Love the rainbow people on page 6 and the way you use colour. Pencil stuff is also excellent - nice lizards, but your human proportions, which I know you're aware of, needs more work.

[alexson]

Just stopped by to shoot positive laserbeams into your eyes, *pepew*

[Jasper_]

Sweeeet lizards duuude! Patterns are very interesting on them.

[agelaos]

hey, some nice drawings in here. Those lizards lookin mighty fiiine, last lizard is awesome. Also like where you're taking that dragoon character type piece. Keep it goin brooo

[tobzArt]

really cool lizards, making me all excited about drawing some myself! keep rockin

[Krato]

heeh the paper sucks :p with your lizards try to show dimensions, you have this flat black all across your lizzard work with it more so it shoes the round form of the lizards body and so on.

[Aberzheim]

Aaaargh freakin awesome 'zards mate, and the fabulous knight tops everything off nicely keep up the quality posts!

[purb36]

lizards and things are looking ultra-sweet, man, keep up the great work.

on a side note, i notice in your people, usually their left eye (right side of the page) is up a little higher than the right eye, like, they're slightly unleveled. just something to pay attention to. can't wait to see more great stuf dude; peace!

[Oatestwder]

Just discovered your sketch book keep it up man its awesome I'm loving those Lizards!

And seriously Portland is my team, GO RUDY!!!

[APW]

Nice stuff! I really like the Ork war-walker, I voted for it. i think it would look really cool if it was black and red, but just a thought. Keep it up!

[applecheeks]

Really nice studies man, it's great to see so much diversity here. The lizard studies seem very useful for creature designs, I'll keep that in mind for the future... Keep it up!

Metalfingers- uhm WHAT?

Alright well I was going to wait to post up my life drawings and these and sketchbook stuff all at once but it'll be a while until I get to the scanner, biking lots of miles in 90+ degree weather doesn't sound too fun at the moment, especially when the folks have air conditioning. Posting up some color studies from life, I know the edges are fucked on a lot of places but I definitely feel like I'm getting a little better at at least observing color from life. Last but not least, a little collabo between me and defiledvisions, oh the sillyness.

[Shahan]

omg wow... blown away... .... youre stuff really inspires me! i'm trying not to sound generic but i know just saying " i'm trying not to sound generic" is generic itself so.. whatever...
the one of the girl.. it was like page 4 or something, she had guns and half robot suit.. it was awesome...

[NickyBeats]

hey man, why the hell havent i been in here before? i dont know, but i couldve sworn that i saw your stuff before, but this stuff is sick man! really love it all, the lizard pencil stuff is really tight, as is most of the stuff in here. the only thing i really didnt like at all, was the anti-boston post!!! cant we all just get along?! okay maybe not. b town #1!

[DefiledVisions]

Boobysaur, I choose you!
haha, oh the sillyness indeed. Amongst those studies my favorite is the one with the strawberries, you really captured their deep redness.

Can't really think of any crit, perhaps try to make them blend more with the white background. Take some creative freedom and add depth and atmosphere that isn't there.
Anyhoooow, kickassss!

[heix33]

cool SB you have here going on, but I'd suggest you to put more effort or attention to drawing from imagination, otherwise studies are not paying themselves off. When drawing from head you discover your mistakes and stuff you have to restudy.

[hunchback]

haha boobysaur. haha

silly

[Metal Fingers]

DecoyOctopus-Thanks man, hope this links helped! btw, is your handle from metal gear?
NickyBeats- Thanks mang! Glad you found meh, haha.
Defiledvisions- Yea agreed, I was more concerned on just getting hte colors though, next time I don't think I'll work on a white background, you've got those sexy negative space textures.
Heix33- Thanks man, although a good suggestion and it should be implemented. I have to disagree and say the opposite, I've been dicking around doing imagination stuff for waaayyy to long and not enough studies to implement the learning. Cheers.
Quick update, got a better photo of the acrylic painting, i think it shows a bit more, worked a little more on the dragoon knight too. Cheers fellers.

[DefiledVisions]

Crystal Knight of Dragonian Fortitude! planning on working him even more? he looks like he could shatter soon! I'm gonna paint a 'dragon armor shatterer' muaha

I'm digging the acrylic piece. Some things I wanna point fingers at, mainly the soap. It seems to stand out too much, almost floating above the brick. Could be because of the lighting when photographing, could also be early stages of the painting.

It would be cool to get a look at it from afar.

[Oatestwder]

Im liking the acrylic painting, thats some sweet stuff. to me the lid of the bottle looks a little off, and i agree with DefiledVisions the soap does appear to float above the brick, but then again there are some weird shaped soaps.

yea rudy does play D like a girl but S#*% he's got hops and style! just hoping Roy can stay fit for the whole season

[Lav]

very nice updates. I really like the acrylic paint, especially how you work with depth of focus. It looks really great eventho the soap is a little bit odd. Great work!

[breistift]

Thanks for stopping by in my sketchbook.
Those lizards are amazing. Great designs and also very nice page layouts!
I really like the textures you got in that acrylic painting with the brick. Make sure to watch out for stuff like the ellipse of the lid of that bottle or that curved planebreak towards the top (although i get the feeling that might be intentional).

[PxelSlayer]

I must say, your usage of color is...*_*...whaaa! And that pokemon is so sweet! Well, you know
Anywho, I see you are cranking on it, doing some serious studying. All I can say is - keep it up!

[Black Spot]

Lovely colours on the fruit and veg. Very appetising.

[kingkostas]

i like the traditional study very much mate!!great light there.
Keep up working the knight.More rendering maybe
