those gestures are unreal

i cant believe they are in pen. u have some great bridgman style. keep at it. remember shadows

[Colour Coded]

Great traditional work. Your lines are very swift and accurate. As for your Digi stuff i love your environments. I feel your color gets a little bogged down and muddy at times though. You did really good on that birds eye view map though. Keep it up!

[mundanity]

your work is the shit. so much great work, even your stuff from when you were a kid looks awesome.

[Lakai]

very nice speedpaint niam, a waterfall will be painted in? found a ref for you too http://www.wudaokou.com/document/17447 , go go go o.o

[Stryno]

Niam I love Your Subtle color choices, I hope someday I have as much control of a limited pallet as you do. I absolutely adore your environments. I went by your website and you got some really good things on there as well, I don't have any crit for you, accept that I would like to see something borderline-ing on realistic. You have a nice sketchy style I wouldn't want to change that, though Id like to see somethings pushed one more step in that direction, unless that isn't you cup of tea, in that case keep up the good work!

[Niam]

@Cera -- Cera!! : D yes its a waterfall ._. thanks for the ref!!! : D
@Stryno -- Thank you sir and yes, I need to draw more realistic stuff, I want to draw realistic stuff ._. but somehow my colors end up otherwise...I will work on that!! thanks! : )

cave village


quick practice painting of the parking lot near my house : P walk through it everyday always wanted to draw it.

[MadGrav]

That cave village is great. Like the idea and how you used perspective. Also that's one spooky parking lot you got there.

[lanotdesign]

Hey Niam,
I really like your rough sketches. They're a long way from being finished, but as early as now I can already see they have a lot of character.. Good Job..

[Umbravita]

Your parking lot has giant tentacles? Lucky. The tentacles in ours are so tiny. :/

(/bad joke)

Lovely colour in that cave village. It looks absolutely fascinating, can't wait to see more of it.

[Cerasela]

@Umbravita -- hehehe thanks XD
