**Cordy** · November 21st, 2006, 02:52 PM

cakeypigdog, it's looks like you've stopped playing the game. you might be one of those few people that, when I look at their art, I don't feel like I'm under attack, but instead that I'm being let in on something good. And I think these are very good.

**Bennett** · November 22nd, 2006, 05:25 PM

Your stuff is getting really tight. I admire your thumbnails most of all. Keep up the good work.

**newman** · November 28th, 2006, 09:43 AM

fucking hell jake! there is some suberb stuff in those couple of batches, these two in particular really stand out:

http://conceptart.org/forums/attachm...1&d=1162818173

that second one is spot on; could easily see that being the cover of a dark kids book or something- colour, balance tone etc all perfect!
good work.

**boreworm** · November 28th, 2006, 09:55 AM

hp · December 2nd, 2006, 07:07 PM

ughhhhhhhhh...i hate you.

your design skills are just crazy. how do you even pump all these out...

i feel that your colorings really aren't up to par with the drawing, doesn't really show it off...51's coloring was much better than 50's.

**RES** · December 3rd, 2006, 04:33 AM

Bugger me what happen there!!!! I look away for a few days and you drop the bomb, top stuff chap your hard work is playing off big time. Your work rate has gone through the roof and it really shows………….now I hate you

please sir can i have some more.....

**cakeypigdog** · December 5th, 2006, 08:03 AM

hpslashluvr: cheers. i agree my pencils are ahead of my colours: practice practice!

res: alrght stranger. we need to hook up soon to draw and drink. thanks for your kind words!

**cakeypigdog** · December 11th, 2006, 07:03 AM

some stuff:
my UK Vs scandanavia piece (acrylic on canvas)
workings for this weeks chow ( not going to finish

)

**duddlebug** · December 11th, 2006, 07:14 AM

Blimey!! What a mad amount of drawings! it's hard to pick something to focus on or crit as a first-time visitor.

I'm a sucker for stylised chunky figures, so that fat batman and the wrestler with the star on his belly immediately stand out for me. And there's some solid life drawing going on. And some great sheets of quick characters.

I'll come back soon with some kinda useful crit....

**cakeypigdog** · December 14th, 2006, 12:58 PM

duddlebug: thanks for popping by! nice to have a man of your caliber in here

here are my latest randoms: got hit by a streetfighter urge.

**farbtopf** · December 14th, 2006, 06:19 PM

I like your stuff a lot. great life drawings, great characters. Even though I prefer them when they are still in their rough pencil stadium, but that's just me I think.

Great art!

**RES** · December 17th, 2006, 05:55 PM

Hi chap I'm just kicking back and just thought I’d pop by before I’m of to Japan as I need pretty pictures to view and you have plenty at the moment. I like what you’ve done with the street fighter pictures as they still retain your style, which is a nice touch.

(Edit) I think i just made you go up to 5 stars

thats a nice present Merry Christmas

**cakeypigdog** · December 18th, 2006, 12:01 PM

farbtopf: cheers! I know what you mean about pencils: a lot of the time i prefer peoples sketch work to their resolved stuff!

RES: cheers ryan, thanks for the vote (straight back down to 4 i see !). hope to play with you more after christmas mate.

k updates:

my take on our 2050's taxi projet
and some thumbs for this weeks project: boss monster.

**Ashab** · December 21st, 2006, 11:41 AM

to be honest mister I think you car/taxi designs are great, and look forward to seeing the complet set of street fighter characters done.

**cakeypigdog** · December 21st, 2006, 12:31 PM

cheers ashab! enjoying the sf stuff but frustrated by my own lack of ability at the moment!

lil update: (this is still wip)

**cakeypigdog** · January 5th, 2007, 08:11 AM

little update: here is zangief. ashab and i are doing a set of little pinups of the original 8 streetfighters. tis good fun!

**cakeypigdog** · January 8th, 2007, 08:15 AM

just a quick one: mya and i started speedpainting agian this lunchtime. the topic was evil musician (20 mins in PS) was fun to get back to these!

**oishiiniku** · January 8th, 2007, 12:41 PM

Good job on the musician speedpaint. It has a really good sense of movement through it. Top facial hair as well!

Ta, Nick.

**Slash** · January 10th, 2007, 07:47 PM

a TON of quality in here, i love how you put humor into almost every piece! Your linework is full of life too, i like it a lot!

I'd like to see some more serious stuff from you tho, its easy to fall into a track and keep following that.

rawk awn!

**cakeypigdog** · January 11th, 2007, 12:59 PM

thanks nick! you continue to be a daily inspiration to me.

cheers slash!! thanks for your kind words. i agree with what you say, i do ten to execute to a similar standard/style each time. i shall maybe have a play with some more serious images. i just love having fun though!

here are a couple of updates. they are characters for a liitle poject i am doing with oishiiniku and ashab. has been great fun so far!

**Dragonis** · January 11th, 2007, 01:20 PM

i love the style of those robots in b&w

they are totaly awesome

**Ashab** · January 12th, 2007, 06:28 AM

good job mister love the energy and commitment to line. well done.

**mya** · January 12th, 2007, 06:30 AM

Love your snipergirl, mate - I think that's my favourite piece of character work of yours!

**cakeypigdog** · January 13th, 2007, 05:38 AM

dragonis: thanks very much! i tend to free up alot when thumnailing and it helps !

cheers ashab!

mya: wicked mate that is a mighty compliment! thanks!

update:

couple of speedies and another criminal: the butcher

hp · January 13th, 2007, 05:28 PM

i think the girl with the rifle on the 11th is strong, your noses tend to look really flat but it looks better in that one. maybe if you put more of a gleam on the axe on the butcher it would look more menacing

sorry i haven't replied in a while...everytime i try to see your sketchbook my internet dies o.O;; maybe you're cursed.

**Haxxxor** · January 13th, 2007, 05:48 PM

wow ...
like the girls and their shapes hehe.
no seriously i like them and your character designs are great, very characteristic.

the girl in the suit and the gun is nice... like her face and that highlight on her nose. good that you didn't made her nose to wet and red ...

keep it up

**cakeypigdog** · January 15th, 2007, 01:00 PM

hp: thanks for stopping by ! i often cannot open my own sketchbook either i have no idea what is wrong with it but it wont open for me about half the time!

haxxor: thanks very much!

ok here is todays pdate: lunchtime 20 speedie with a prescrbed 3 colour pallete and this weeks chow entry.
