Alex Alexandrov: cheers mr, that means a lot coming from a man of your calibre. I love your paints: you have really great brushstrokes and colours!
Tommoy: thanks very much i shall pass on your compliment to my good lady wife .
I have started the 3d for my dominance war entry. Very early days but i am already enjoying it a great deal. C & C welcomed and appreciated. Its fun sculpting something with the proportions pushed so far. I want him to be old but vital: with flabby muscle sagging off of jutting bone.

Cheers chaps!

hey cakey! long time no see!! not meaning to feel rude or anything but i have gotten another mentor.. for the job


but you can still mentor me in character design and sillohuettes

awesome updates here great use of colors love the new sketches

[newman]

hey jake, looking nice! not so sure about having the neck so vertical, it might look better if it was angled forward a bit more; guess its a style thing though, so feel free to disagree!
looking forward to seeing this finished.

[Jorge Gecov]

Very nice sb dude.
Work from page #14 is really great.

5 stars.

Cheers,

[BRINKMAN!]

Holy Hell CPD, that British-looking mustache man is amazing! He made me literally laugh out loud! I love it!

BTDub, you are totally succeeding at giving the impression of sagging muscle.

[cakeypigdog]

reject: no worries, best of luck with everything!
ben: cheers mate, good crit ( i had already changed it when i read your post!) still need to fiddle with the neck but trying to get it all blocked in first.
Jorge Gecov: thanks very very much indeed!!
BRINKMAN!, cheers, i am really enjoying this piece.

updat: I have started blocking in more of the character and his bits and bobs!

[Reject-D]

awesome update!! is that a worm on its back? hey you should stop by my sketchbook more updates

[Flaskpost]

Oh my! I love where you´re taking this modell!
Gonna follow this thread for sure!

[Quinn Simoes]

Allot of nice artwork here, your zbrush models are looking great!

[MonkeYoakum]

Zmodel looks nice, still whats up with the catapillar? The only part that jumps out at me is where the abdomen meets the ribs. It looks like a piece of flesh pulled tight like a curtain and freaks me out. So I started doing the gestures like you said, but do you think you could give me some advice for tone, if I spend the next week drawing lines to describe motion Im going to go crazy, somthing must get rendered. Thanks again.

[cakeypigdog]

little bit more progress on the sculpt.
The catapillar is his artefact. The dominance war 3 brief says the character must be an artefact weilder. Instead of a fire sword or an ice spear i opted for a catapilar with the power to summon a giant worm monster (giant worm monster not included!)

[Mydrim]

You are so doing it!

[Miles_]

Hahahaha awesome. I'm a real sucker for caterpillars . The 3D work is stunning and some of your 2D stuff has great atmosphere to it. Also I now wanna get a moleskin. Just keep it coming man too tired for a crit, so for now


Oh and if you get the time it'd be cool if you'd swing by my sketchbook.

[MattGamer]

Amazing to see your concept
design skillz at work!

Love the DW concept already!!

Zbrush! I am learning this program
by myself. It's quite fun! Sorry for
being away. I have been busy with
art. Ha ha, lame excuse I know, but
your fan is back!!

[Nibras]

Wwow thats one hell of a sb,
Amazing concept work actully amazing everything your works are really super
Really do hope to see more
peace

[Ashab]

got to say mister that is amazing......take it easy mister

[cakeypigdog]

Mydrim: THANKS!
Miles_: cheers for the encouragement ! I will pop by yours soon!
MattGamer: good to see your fine self around here again matt. You are doing great work lately!
lilnebo: Thanks very very much indeed!
Ashab: howdy stranger. How is life treating you? Would be cool to meet up: we are going to see dan baker in the next couple of weeks would be cool if you can come too?
Update: I have *almost* finished the high poly stage of my dominance war entry. The head is fresh of the production line this moment. I will get some sketchbook pages scanned in asap. Dominance war is taking up every minute of my free time at present. The end is now in sight though! Looking forward to getting back into painting and quick stuff again!

[oishiiniku]

The Dominance War stuff is going great guns! I really like how the caterpillar's turning out and you know how I feel about extravagant moustaches... The repeating shapes in the guantlet are working really well, too. I think the neck works now that he has his shoulder pads on, but it still looks a bit vulnerable. Maybe some plates that covered the back of the neck but left the front open? I dunno, just a matter of taste I guess.

Overall it's looking wicked, though. Looking forward to seeing it textured. Go go go!!!

Ta, Nick.

[MonkeYoakum]

Top Notch!

[tensai]

time spent on your dominance war entry is well spent man. very cool design that makes you really wonder what this character is about and what he will do in certain situations. respect selectaz.

[MattGamer]

The crazy proportions really freak
me out, but the style fits so well.
Thank you sir, it's a hard track to
lay down to become an artist you
personally can agree upon. I feel
that I am on the verge of either
going pro or quitting the arts altogether.
The latter which I will never do
unless my arms and feet are chopped
off. Oh and mouth is ripped off as
well. If one of my body parts goes,
the other will still be drawing to the
death. If I even have to duct tape
a large pencil to my head, I will draw
no matter what.

I cannot wait to see your model
pimped out with colors!

[Ashab]

woah blown away with this one mister, got to agree with nick on the neck issue but the feet seem to balance it out a little, I look forward to seeing what you do with baskets on his sides and what goes inside them?
over all feel is right and has a strong character
easy for now

[cakeypigdog]

Will do replies later i am orf to bed. I have just finished my dom war entry and wanted to share it! It has taken up all of my spare time for weeks now and i am looking forward to getting back to speedies and paints!
Enjoy!

[Reject-D]

AWESOME!! dude greatness!! nice 3d work way to tie it all up in the end great color scheme.. and designs !! i have some new stuff in my sb if your interested!

[MonkeYoakum]

That was nice, I like the last shot, nice and phalic. I eagerly await more speedies, but compaired to a lot of the other domwar stuff I've seen that 3d renderage is really nice and buffed out looking. Nice!

[towy]

huhu, very funny concept :]

[cakeypigdog]

MonkeYoakum: thanks!
tensai: Cheers, i really enjoyed it and am glad i persevered to the end!
MattGamer: you are making great progress matt! Just keep going. I was looking through the start of bumskees book yesterday day: he is such a great example of just keep going! - his early pages look pretty average but his contempoary work has an -impossible to achieve- gracefulness to it! It shoes you that the people who apear to have an almost effortless skill now actually have it because they have worked so very very hard owards it!
Ashab: hi mister! I read in nicks book that you had been ill! Really sorry to hear that mate, whats been the matter? Hope your fully recovereed now! The pouches were for maggots as food for his carnivouress catapillar!
Reject-D: Cheers, will pop by soon!
Towarlock: thanks, i try to inject some humour into my stuff!

[Chate Noire]

All those alien sketches rock, man. They're so much fun to look at
