I wanna see 'em, but you can't hotlink from Geocities. (Well, you can, but it's complicated. See the FAQ.) A lot of folks use Photobucket, but there are a bunch of similar image hosting sites.

[grail]

sorry,man.obviously not readingwill update soon.

you also need to link the actual images so we can see them without clicking a link, click the yellow button with the moutain on top

Hey grail, I like what I see.


About "Whisper | Scream", do I see som Dave McKean influences perhaps?
*poking on the Son of God-logotype also*

Don't know if you're still working on "Son of God", but I think some darker shadows is needed to bring out the characters.

And so on to "Hell Spawn", I really like the blended techniques, and I do want to see more of this style. A bit too much splatter though, takes away the feeling a bit.


Cheers!

I like your style a lot - but the professionalism of the compositions and effects is beyond the anatomy. When you have just a few details or part of a person, and it's the focal point, you need to make sure you have those details rendered immaculately.

thanks for looking. i appreciate the criticism a lot. i know there are lots of mistakes in my work but for some reason i seldom or never correct them at all. i don't know probably bec. i believe that some mistakes are part of it and somehow it gives it character.or may not, maybe i'm just lazy

Great stuff man, keep it up! Nice energy to all your work

[GraphicGeek]

gunshy stuff >>







sequentials for an antho for katrina benefit--

[grail]

mock cover-



thanks.

[claudeEGYPT]

i think there were a few anatomy problems up there, but i think the disfigurations actually suit the characters, i found RAISING CAIN and SALAMANORA the best. Your work is very promising!

Claude

[grail]

thanks, claude. much appreciated.

[timpaatkins]

Wow, looks very nice. Ashley Wood fan? (Who isnt,hehe)
I love this GD/Illo crossover.
Do I dare crit? I will, and hopefully you wont think less of me...
I say characterwise on the covers, some of them seem to be lacking something, the poses look a bit flyswatted.
Maybe pick up a book on animation, and check out the section on exaggeration, you know, taking the peak in a normal action line and just pushing it that little bit farther, so its not quite human motion anymore.
Also, some of the are a bit difficult to read (covers), there is so much happening in them, and my poor brain cant take it all in.
Cheers Tim

[grail]

thanks for the time looking at it,man. much appreciated.

did a short course in animation before, so i am aware of the exagerration bit.just i don't want to overuse it.somehow it takes too much of 'reality' factor from the illustration. well, thats just me.

thanks again
