Newest stuff on the last page!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alright, I am relatively new here, but have been lurking and paying respects to the great work that goes on here. I have recently been bit by the CG bug, and now I am on a mission to improve my skills so I can make it into the game industry, particularily my dream company :p And half of this battle is my 2D work, as I also do 3D.

My focus is character and creative development.

Hopefully this keeps me moving and motivated to improve in the right directions.

I really appreciate the honest C & C, so let me have it! Don't be blatantly mean though...

And I had to refrain from putting up any old sketches, gotta keep it new!!!!

Here is one I just drew out last night. I am working on some fanart pieces based off of Blizzard's worlds. These are some Dwarven Riflemen, but one has borrowed some equipment from a Ghost from Starcraft I know its rough, done up kinda fast...I am doing a color version of it now.

Lets see more!

[Rkhon]

Okay, I will post a couple other drawings I've done over the past couple months, the best looking ones of course. To give everyone something to look at

I have a friend visiting from MT, so my output has been slowed to a crawl.

[Slash]

Damn that staff was detailed! Its things like those that drive me to the point where i bang my head against my desk. So i tend to avoid them.

You show a lot of potential, keep drawing. (That sentence made me sound like a pro! Well, one can dream...)

Spent some time (about 2-3 hours) sketching this afternoon, here are 3 quickies.

Grape Sprig (They were delicious :p )


Quick idea for a Risen Demon character (fuck fallen angels)


Fast sketch of an artwork for World of Warcraft's Undead race.

[Rkhon]

Just finished this figure study, of a photograph by Geoffrey O'Donnell...he said I could do a sketch of it, so its all cool. :thumbsup:

[Rkhon]

Another Figure study sketch.

[Rkhon]

Some random sketches I did at Barnes & Noble...

[van]

Keep updating, man! I think you would benefit greatly from some in-depth anatomy studies.

[Rkhon]

Thanks Van...thats what I keep telling attractive girls, they don't get it.

Damn, gotta keep up.

These are all quickies with a ball point pen. Exuse the slop.



Grrr...Hate using digicam to get these on...but sketchbook is too big for scanner.

[Rkhon]

Spent more time on this one. Kind of an accidental design to him. A concept idea for a character I call The Stygian Visionary. ( I tie most things I draw into a collective creative world.)

Ballpoint Pen

[van]

A few new ones for yall today... a first tablet/painter sketch, real quick just to get the feel and positioning of this setup...an unfinished drawing of a sorceress character...and a new concept idea sketching for a creature design, unfinished too.

Been drawing at the the cafe at barnes and noble every other, or every day...been good, and so are the Chai teas.

Hi Rkhon,

I´ve been browsing your sketchbook and I think you´re on the right track. The pics show a good sense for design and I think with some practise your renderings will fit completely.

What I´ve seen so far you may need some more indepth anatomy. Of corse the usual tip "take lifedrawings, dude" is one of this sites favourites but I think you may know this, yet . It will help especially with your imaginative characters. Furthermore I think taking a good anatomy book and doing studies from this will benefit your drawigns quite well. I have the impression you´re working mostly from the surface without knowing the structures underneath.

Anyway as I said before you´re on the right way and the rest is a matter of practise and study. Hope this could help you a bit.

[Rkhon]

Hey thanks Fipse...yep it is a normal thing to say here, and of course true more often than not I have been doing more figure studies as of late and have a few books on anatomy. The two nudes are from picture references, but everything else is from my head, which I prefer to do...draw for fun too

Here is another Barnes & Noble Cafe sketch that I finished at home...they only stay open til 10...just not right.

Overproportioned barbarian character named Barroth that is in my world I draw from.

[Rkhon]

Today I worked a bit on the sketch up above. Fanart for Blizzard's World of Warcraft, and well Ghost too...supposed to be a medival dwarf with the gun and headgear from Starcrafts ghost unit.

[Rkhon]

not much, but an update

A bow weapon ideal for an undead, dark theme.

[Rkhon]

Self portrait in painter8 with tablet...new for both.

[Crunch]

keep drawing man. work on your proportions with your figures. if you dont have an anatomy book get one and use it. hope to see more.

[Rkhon]

Fanart sketch of a Night Elf Archer character from Blizzard's World of Warcraft...Plan on painting this one. Stoked to play this game.

[Rkhon]

More sketching from the cafe marathons...Really random, with no theme in mind.

[Rkhon]

This is a demon I call "The Bloody Stumps Daemon"

It chewed off its arms long ago, and sharpens its arm bones by gnawing with its teeth. Then he runs the plains of hell, searching for new souls to torture. You'll know its him by the sound of a thousand wailing infants...and soon enough the stabbing away with his evil bloody stumps begins.

[Rkhon]

Crappy update with a couple rough ones...





Im tired of photobucket resizing my shit...wtf

[Rkhon]

Aight, I'm still new with Painter and this saucy tablet...here is a WIP of Nubsy. Not finished.

Appreciate any painter tips and hints.

[Rkhon]

Sketch of a Protoss Dark Zealot idea, based off of Blizzard's Starcraft world.
