[Stpete]

Really cool stuff!! I shouldn't be the one saying this: You should refine them more, give them sharper edges(i have the same problem :C) Post #4's middle picture is maybe too skewed, if you reduced it a tad.

The monster& mech vs soldier scene look really amazing good work on those!!
The mountain study need more detail Good luck!!

[CR Faerber]

looks good man

[Psychobuddy]

Nice work, but I agree, your edges do need some work. It's not that they are really bad, it's just that a lot of them are soft, or blurry. Maybe some harder edges or areas of sharper contrast would help you out.

[giby]

@ Faeber Thx man
@ physco yes Ur right ... i wil definately work on them

These are a couple of thumbnails i did for paths through hell ..... was thinkin of scalin up the images when i get some time

[Raiderukkus]

[hanshotfirst]

Your thumbnails are fantastic, keep it up!

[giby]

@ kevin & Han thx ..... here are a couple of works

[giby]

Doing studies of master landscape artists .... here are a few studies ....wil be doing them all week .... my main focus is colour n value

[giby]

another couple of master studies wil try to do more of these each day

[SandyMan]

Ooooh these are some nice sketches!

A few reccomendations for a couple of comps; try getting the focal point and rhythm to be more clear. In that lake with the mountains and the waterfall, the focal mountain points upwards very severely, leading the viewers eyes upwards to nowhere and killing the rhythm of it. Even a slight tilt to the angle of the top of the mountain will make it look better. For the first image of post 24, there is too much space on the top, and like the last pic I critiqued; the trees point upwards yet there is nothing there except for a few transparent clouds.
Other than that, keep them coming, the comps are nice!!!

[nouge]

Seeing lots of improvement here! Those landscape studies are veeery nice, keep them coming!

[giby]

@Sandy ... thx for the crit man wil work on improving the focal point ..@ nouge Thnk U .....Here are another couple of colour studies lol ..... colours are amazing to work with

[Dinosawr]

I really like where your stuff is heading.. But possibly try and get some harder edges into your work? I feel it's just a bit too blurry, and needs some clarification. Keep at it.

[takashmen]

hi giby

thanks for a visit
all is heading in good direction, what is visible especially in "dragon rider" piece

doing master studies is good idea, but i think you should spent more time on each of them, describe details, textures, shapes, make it more finished
also put more attention to hard and soft edges

keep it up!

[Greenhouse]

Very good start on your sb! I really like where you're headed. Keep working and you'll be fabulous, seriously!
