Don't get to participate in these spod's much these days, but it's always refreshing to look at all the great works.

Anyway, throwing in this recent one, maybe I'll even get to jump back into it soon.

Bah. I think I captured a mood, and not a representation.



Signature: you working from a reference? It helps for the first few tries.

hed|lamb: everything you did with that is fantastic. The thick lines and black and gray, the exaggerated features.. do more. A-1, dude.

holycoww74: that turned out nicely. Painter, watercolors I assume? The eyes turned out to be a cool focal point to the pic.

farley13: niiice colors. On the watercolory one, it almost seems like the lower left of the neck is missing some of the warm facial colors. Otherwise, dang, really nice job.

jhibbs: ink washes? Man, even with classic media... The two partially colored ones are tremendous. Shadow's gotta be your strongpoint.

brokencow: turned out good. what program you use for that?

Blackhawk: The way you do noses.. man. Reminiscent of Burne Hogarth, absolutely fantastic.

[Scratched Glass]

saw the thread and did a quick sp. took around 2 hours. no sp is right without a cracked face. you gotta do it sometime. only thing that was tough was i couldnt get myself to do the face again i started with. i dont know how i did it at first. soo somethings changed as i worked on it. leadin to some facial structures that dont seem to look right. anyways. just a piece for fun. later =P

[farley13]

scratched - ueah know what you mean, usually I'll just have to try to fudge it to keep the form solid . . hard to keep the smae angles etc.!!

tried somthing more fundimental again:



kinda fudged obviously

Thanks killing.people!
I'll finish this one up tommorow, will be in the spirit of you know who.



Was really happy today, good feeling

Empty paints - that looks great ! Liquify tool?
Faxtar - looks pretty good I might recomend leavoing more white, or employing some method to the shading.
RudeCorleone - make sure your facial structure wraps arround the basic masses

Farley

[ELWOOD]

[Blackhawk]

What a great weekend, one of the best in my long while.

[miasmak]

I stick my head in here for a change and what do i see!! Blackhawk with a smile! makes my day it does. Even though it makes you a tad unrecognizable

Aah Rusty Mmm supersaturated nose highlight yum

Farley, sort of vacant new born expression, very interesting the linework reminds me of super soft charcoal or something.

I should really hang out here more often, I miss this place

[daarken]

did a collage with some old muni passes and acrylics. a lot more fun than i had anticipated. i might use more collage in some future illustrations.

blackhawk: nice one! great expression and the proportions are good.

keyth: rusty my ass, awesome as always!

rusty: awesome job so far! great lighting and colors. looking forward to the finished version.

elwood: nice to see you are noticing the different temperature changes that occur in the face.

scratched: the cracks and the arrow are a cool touch.

[MindCandyMan]

daarken you are THE MAN!!!!! Especially when it comes to self portraits...I saw yours and I had to do a quick one.

5 min

[keyth]

gotta new job that's wup'n me right now so....just a quickie before bedtime....gotta get up and make the papuh's.

[Blackhawk]

I profusely apologize for not doing any kind of commenting, so here it goes.

Farley - Thanks for the compliments. Your on the right track, keep up the experimentation, be mindful of the masses your drawing or painting though. Your stuff is still reading flat in spots. It's getting better and better though, keep pushing those warms and cools.

Killing - Thanks bud, where have you been? Show yourself again, we need another sp man

Keyth - You call that Rusty? Puhh, all of your SP's are so meaty, there's an immense amount of dimension to them. I only wish I could get the form you get. Everything just pops. Very nice bud.

Rusty - Thanks a lot bud. This last SP of yours is incredible. That nose just popped out at me, very nicely done with the colors. When are you going to finish off this sucker? Good to see you around again bud.

Mia - LOL, yeah, the one and only smile SP. I think it's the first smile SP I've ever done. I just feel too good right now to have not done one.

Daarken - Thanks man, your work is just spectacular. I've been looking over all of your Caran Dache stuff. I haven't commented much on it, but trust me, I love every bit of it, great work man.

MCM - Hey bud, great SP, good to see you pay another visit in here, what have you been up to bud?

Wow, it's great seeing the old crew in here again, now we are just missing Oblio, Jester, Lionel, and a few others.

[retro]

umm, sorry i'm not too much into commenting. of course you're all doing great

[Sleepi]

an hour to go before the end of april...
