[NeonPoweredFirefly]

I love this sketchbook!, please update more

[Lakai]

will123will thank you will!
NeonPoweredFirefly I'll try best thx

It's been a while since I've updated the last time. Had some freelance work to do.
Anyways heres some "quick and dirty" stuff.

You keep saying “Come get some!” to every paper that comes under your hand,
and your indestructible creativity just leaves no excuses for the crooked one. Large corn
field, big rusty combined harvester, the wingless crows will suffer, dark blood will flow
over the dance floor. Major movement has happened in your art department, and you
just threw a new light on the material creating and modifying process. Your way can
be a justified accepted enchanted subway. You are the material master, and you can
render true and hard. I admire to your latest approaches and study deployments,
many of us should take an example out of your book. Exploding octopuses in the sky,
we will never forget the fourth of July. Keep it wobbling all the time, and harvest
down more useful crops, you had, have and will have the true power.

Great figure and clothing studies. I definitely need to sit down and study more costume designs.

[ANtY93]

Awesome studies (not studys btw), they look very clean!

And thanks for the idea, I need to study hair too.

Keep it up

[Tschayssen]

amazing studies O_O need to work on my patience because I have none for studies, always end up doing something else. Thanks for the inspiration

[Lakai]

LtPlissken thx m8 that gives me strength .
MrFrenik thx!
ANtY93 thank you!
Tschayssen thx,I feel you . Studying gets way easier after awhile.

I thought ca is never gonna fix the server problems but It seems like its working properly again. Really missed the sketchbook section... i'm pretty happy that its back.

[lanotdesign]

amazing SB, i like the way you render. It looks as though it takes a hell lot of time. The end result is always amazing. good job.

[Niam]

yayyy an update! : D
that smooth rendering style D:
love the girl portrait
for the skull it seems like his arm reaching forward could be a bit longer?
moar!! >"<

[Lakai]

Niam thx niam . Cera also mentioned the weirdness of the arm . Thx for the help.
lanotdesign thank you. Yep it takes quite awhile, i spend most of the time experimenting I guess thats the reason.

I'd like to show some more stuff but the manager isnt working properly... It just uploads some of the images...

[Christoffer]

Amazing stuff, man. You seem to have a solid grasp on pretty much everything.
I enjoyed looking at all of it - from your linework, designs, your screencaps to your mental library dumps...even those hair studies.

Very inspirational.

[Woodkid]

I like your environmental thumbnails, they are very good!

[MrFrenik]

Great characters and renderings; especially love the demon girl portrait.

[LtPlissken]

More greatness just came out from the back of your garage. Blood spitting
bone flying thing is scary and gory. The devil girl painting beside him is
also a big masterpiece. You just know how to go with colors and with lighting.
The update machine is ok now, I guess. So keep sharing more and more of your magic.

[Yemi775]

Impressive work as always lakai love the figure/characters.

[Care]

DAT ARM: man that is complete mastery, such a nice rendering. thats like legendary.

I love the enviro thumbnails. great stuff, nice studies,

hmmm,i think maybe looking into character archetypes might help with char creation and maybe some real life gestures, just so the chars arent so... stiff u kno what i mean?

[Lakai]

Christoffer wow thx this is a big compliment .
MrFrenik thx m8
LtPlissken thanks alot!
Yemi775 hey yemi it's been a while since i visited ur sb I was pretty lazy in that regard lately :/.
care I totally know what u mean thx for the advice. Concerning the last char designs I did them rather to have fun and to take a break from rendering all my old unfinished work sorta annoyed and bored ... to be honest it still do. What I want to say I didnt cared to much about the design.

The uploader still is buggy. It doesnt show all uploaded images.
First image is wip. I dont know how much different versions I did so far.. but I think I learned quite alot by pushing it. Theres still alot to do tho.

[Raymond Luk]

Ahh Lakai, the rendering of those faces are coming along very nice, grayscale is boss
And might add, the main honcho reminds me of your avatar xD

[spanishrose]

Lanai I have always enjoyed seeing your sketchbook. It has inspired me to continue with the digital art and drawings. Keep it up.

[Stephane Perez]

Hey dude! i'm just about to update my sketchbook in a bit i see you've been busy great stuff. i see some improvement although pretty gradual cause you're already very good All ill say is start putting that visual library you're working so hard on in action! try and make your costume/weapon/creature designs a little more flavorful and less cheesy (like just putting spikes on pauldrons to make it look cool) that sort of thing. keep it up mon ami.

[NickyBeats]

looking good man!! love that smooth shading on your value sketch! your lighting is so good! great stuff man!

[Umbravita]

You've got some great stuff here, keep it up!

[Niam]

mannn ._.
I love the faces you draw!!
somehow I've always pictured you like your avatar XD

[Lakai]

Raymond Luk thx Ray, the avatar face is the same person just an older version of the painting .
spanishrose thank you, nice to hear that.
Stephane Perez thx mate, adding spikes everywhere is a curse. I'm totally aware of that it's hard to avoid tho .
NickyBeats thx nicky!
Umbravita thx
Niam Your faces are way better! thx

still wip.
