    A3 format means a sheet of paper in the size DinA3 (29,8 x 42cm)

    Isn`t "format" a english/american word?

    These are awesome portraits!
    Brilliant renderings!

    What i wanted to ask is, if you work on A3 or A4 paper.
    But seeing that you drawings are done in a sketchbook
    it will be DinA4.

    Could you describe how you do the renderings?

    great work man! Those portraits are hitting the mark. If you could bring some of that richness of the charcoal into your creatures you would be unstoppable. But your critters are fantastic, I really love that they are sort of gross and funny at the same time, like they are so over the top in their nastniess that they are humorus. Awesome awsome drawings!

    Those first two portraits are beautiful, omegaman20. I like your other stuff, too. But it looks like your portraits are a lot stronger. I can't wait to see you pump out some more. Also maybe some figure drawing? I would love to see you do some long poses, I bet they would look great. peace, bro, and thanks for the words in my book.

    Awesome work, i love it, there is a small critique that i see, altough im no expert, but take for example the last image in the first post, check the angle of the chest and the angles of the planes in the right arm of the monster, should they have different values?, i thin you make this mistake on your other works too, making things look more plain that they should, as if they where reliefs, i dont know though, im no expert, they look awesome anyway, keep posting!.

    Thanks for the encouragement, great stuff. That is quite the break from updating What is your most recent work on here?

    I think this one http://i60.photobucket.com/albums/h3...an20/gooo2.jpg has great potential. The guy in the top right feels distracting and the explosion is a bit too hidden?

    That's some tight work with those faces, man. I love the expressiveness and the shading on them. Your colors are great on the monster and if only some of your pictures didn't have broken links, I'll love to see the rest. Thanks for also dropping by and commenting on my SB.
