this was fun to paint

**Ziegengrimm** · May 27th, 2011, 06:23 AM

this is an elf / wizard-whatever airfight above some castleruin or something

I kind of like the 2nd to last - it does look fun despite the chaos or maybe because of the chaos ~ also you use sai (as do I) so that's a plus of sorts

& keep on posting - looks promising as you are trying to tell something with your pieces and don't shy away from doing so despite it all.

thanks for your comment and motivatgion dan

- i feel similar: there is something cool and something strange about it.

might have to do with the overuse of the lasso tool. i think its one of the most interesting digital tools as i using it doesnt affect the image until the shape or "stroke" is done. therefore your eye-brain-salad is not "confused" by a shape you build up with eg. a brush. when slowley building up shapes with pencil or brush i feel instantly drawn away/ distracted by the unfinished form which i am producing in that moment.

i have to figure out a way to melt the random shape expressions in some kind of style

**Ziegengrimm** · May 27th, 2011, 11:47 AM

some kind of a thief ..mebe. fun to draw though

**Ziegengrimm** · May 30th, 2011, 12:02 PM

heres what came to my mind last weekend..ah well

**Tides** · May 30th, 2011, 06:21 PM

Beautiful style. I'm sure it will evolve magically as you get better

**dan liimatta** · May 30th, 2011, 06:34 PM

I like the first of the last as a thumbnail - once you get up close the water and the arm (the left, the one stretched out) and the legs look awkward.

But good going with the colours and composition.

**Ziegengrimm** · May 31st, 2011, 11:09 AM

@ Tides:thanks - i hope it will evolve to something like crystal sharded high definition dragons riding the backs of onyx black pandas while univorn-ninja-mechs made of wood boil in a twisting nether of 2 billion colors...there might be penguin-samurai too

@ dan: thank you - i liked that one too. when it comes to legs and arms and anatomy in general im still having a tough time. feeling drawn towards color and scenerey at the moment...and general nonsense of course

that last one turned out really bad ..however heres another reddish sketch

**Ziegengrimm** · June 4th, 2011, 04:20 AM

came up with this sketch last night..sort of motivated to continue this one....dont ask me what that crystal above the guys head is about - i have no clue

edit: came up with some troll yay

**Ziegengrimm** · June 7th, 2011, 10:24 AM

trying to improve on values a bit ..but i tend to start coloring to early ;<

**Ziegengrimm** · June 7th, 2011, 04:31 PM

ah well i sort of liek the girl from the old version but you cant have them all can you :<

My lord that's all kinds of awesome! hahaha

Love the troll, and the kicking colors.

**Ziegengrimm** · June 7th, 2011, 05:54 PM

thanks im glad you like the troll

- doesn´t look very convincing in anatomy and pose but he´s still a badass i guess

here some more red material..

**Ziegengrimm** · June 9th, 2011, 09:16 AM

i wonder how this will turn out in the end..made quite some changes to the characters - not happy with the vegetation yet

edit: quick sketch ..western alien or something

**Demo** · June 9th, 2011, 09:57 AM

You have a very nice start to your sketch book here my advice would be to invest time in some still life painting, work on your anatomy a bit, and as always have fun with what your doing and work hard.

**Ziegengrimm** · June 9th, 2011, 10:21 AM

thanks for compliment and advice - i´ll try my best!

**Ziegengrimm** · June 12th, 2011, 07:18 AM

i got a functioning scanner

so i might come up with some marker sketches from time to time

here´s some monster

**Ziegengrimm** · June 15th, 2011, 04:06 PM

did you ever play brütal legends? this is the psytrance-version of it ;>

**Ziegengrimm** · June 17th, 2011, 12:19 PM

fun to pain..had a little rendevouz with photoshop in between

edit: sai sketches

**Ziegengrimm** · June 18th, 2011, 06:13 AM

simple color exercise

**Ziegengrimm** · June 25th, 2011, 07:40 AM

had to change composition several time..looks a bit fragmented

**Ziegengrimm** · June 26th, 2011, 02:13 PM

tried to get that last piece right where i could...looks way more balanced now.
some random sketches

**Ziegengrimm** · July 5th, 2011, 03:03 PM

picked up some old messed up painting and made some fixes..just a sketch still

**Ziegengrimm** · July 9th, 2011, 01:46 PM

dragon made in photoshop . crits welcome

**Ziegengrimm** · July 9th, 2011, 05:14 PM

...or something..didnt work with color with all that fuzzyness

**Ziegengrimm** · July 12th, 2011, 10:09 AM
