Hey man, that's a really great interpretation of the Beholder topic, my only crit is the red, it looks really out of place, I think going back to a neutral grey or a yellow or something subtler would be better. Granted it seems like you're done with it XD just something to keep in mind if you feel like messing around with it.

[Shahan]

@Psychobuddy yeah i know. I think I "over-produced" that piece. I'll learn to let certain things be next time. All the little edits I did really didn't help so much in the end.

Here's an entry, not so good. but hadn't submitted here in a while... so here. Inspired by Dark Tower
Low Men... Lo Men...
*Removed this drawing. it was awful
this will hereby be my TEST POST.

[Shahan]

Hey man! Stopping by after seeing all that stuff in Issacs Book you posted. Lots of Great stuff in here. I really like your gestures and creature-esque stuff. Reminds me that I need to start drawing more from imagination. Keep up the good work man.

[Tim Murphy]

So I've been trying to come up with some advice to offer you, but I've got nothing. So I'll just go with "I like your stuff friend". Have to follow your example and do some imaginative work...

[Shahan]

O.O
Holy f***!

O-o I'll take that as a compliment!!!

thank you very much for the kind words! Imagination is important but in this post i'm kind straying from that, studies are my weak spot... and that is really not good for me...

- Hair billowing out in a Solid Snake Mullet... AWESOME

Making "realistic" Jigen...

5. lay down human head under structure.

6. PROFIT
