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** · July 25th, 2005, 10:25 PM

sorry,man.obviously not reading

will 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!

anatomy needs some work, dont learn from comics. learn from life drawings, mirrors help, and anatomy books. thnink about line weight and not getting caught up in details like in the wolverine drawing. get the overall stucture down first. Great start!

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

**35mm** · October 28th, 2005, 12:22 PM

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

**GraphicGeek** · October 28th, 2005, 02:00 PM

Awesome! Lot of great stuff that I haven't seen before...

**grail** · December 3rd, 2005, 06:42 AM

mock cover-

thanks.

**claudeEGYPT** · December 3rd, 2005, 07:04 AM

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!
