[Carnifex]

[Phaxan]

Those pictures are so awesome man! Keep up the good work!
I find it hard to describe with words how incredible pieces of art that is!

[Tom van der Linden]

Ah, finally an update! Has it already been 5 months without a Gnoll update? Damn! Great update, great variety, can't wait to see that watercolour brute! Cheers!

[bbwolf]

[Hellbeard]

Awesome new stuff! I love that style and pretty much everything else.

That watercolor also looks really good. Great lines and shading.

Good job!

[donalfall]

I came for the free drinks but stayed for the awesome art! I love the comic book pages.

[TheGnoll]

@Hellbeard: thanks a lot!

@donalfall: thank you!

some storyboards for work (1 day)




here's the finished ad too: LINK (Director: Mauro Vecchi)

robots, for fun



more random doodles



thumbnails, will work more on some of these.



post-apocalyptic witch- WIP, will finish this like the brute character in the previous update.



aaaaand stop.That's about it for now.
Hopefully the next update won't take 5 months

ciao!

[bbwolf]

cool to see so much stuff. The storyboards show great pace and are really good. Nice to see some commercial stuff one in a while.

The robot designs are REAL cool. I like the "rustic" feel to them. Plus you show a great variety.

The character sheets look rad as allways and the postapocalyptic witch is quiet disturbing. When you WIP, does that mean you will make it into a big finished piece?
In less than five month? (like I should talk about not updating, huh?)

cheerio

[snatti]

Some sweet drawing, only wish i could see some colour images, then again there is probbaly some in the first 90 pages, since it was being said to skipp those i did , comic looks good, aswell as the story boards, that is something i need to try in the future , a days work how many hours was it to do those? so i kinda have an ide of how much i should spend on it, will come back and have a peak in future updates, thanks for sharing

[PHATandy]

Two days in a row!!! *passes out*

Sweet stuff man, really enjoying all your sketches and designs. Loads of fun characters in there. Now keep this pace up!!

[insanelight]

Amazing stuff and really GREAT creativity!
I like almost everything here
The Brute character is great, don't stop doing watercolours!

[Carnifex]

damnit,i want to be constructive,but all i can do is fawn over this stuff.

[conte]

fantastic!

[B-Man]

What the hell. 3 updates and I didnt even notice! you sneaky.... Anyway cool stuff! And the storyboard is nice to see. I get so tired of looking at my own. Anyway God speed and see you in the future, Art needs to be slapped on paper.

[kaktuzlime]

100 pages, fantastic! And awesome just keeps on pouring out of you =) I like to watch you..... ;p

[Swordhand]

Wow! great head designs on those robots. Awesome updates!

[ICH]

Great work Ryan!
Amazing gestures. Powerful anatomy on the big guy whit baseball cap on the last table of the previous post.

[MattGamer]

Fantastic characters. You've got everything down to what you want and I'm loving it. So much style, spazz, excitment. From your zombies to your pirates, loving it all.

Inspirational to say the least. Some of your character creations remind me of Adam Adamowicz's (Fallout 3) work. Great stuff!

Squidtroopers are sweet!!

[DANKA]

Hey my friend,I think you are improving every day! I would like work with you on some drawing...maybe some monster or strange creature!

[Beelow]

Storyboards and Panels are really nice. Keep doing those doodle things as well. I am liking those doodles. I keep scrolling up to look at them.

[smokenmirrors]

love the thumbnail characters! fresh looking critters.

[William b. Hand]

Man, Ryan, I've missed a lot of great posts -- just spent the past hour or so reviewing it all (and re-viewing some stuff I had already seen).

Those robot heads are wicked friggin cool, buddy -- What a knack you've got! The Alex Toth copies are just gorgeous -- I'm not familiar with his stuff, but studied each of those frames carefully and was deeply impressed. The ZOMBIE TV2 is adorable -- Can't understand much of the text, but you've done a solid and delightful job of communicating story through all the other elements. I felt bad for the mom, but it's nice that everyone's happy in the end. Reminded me of "FIDO", which I just watched again about a week ago (if you haven't seen it, make a point). Umm, what else... All the great figurative stuffs you keep honing... SquidTroopers're great! Oh yeah, and those Future 30's hover vehicles are really cool -- They just look awesome overall, and then the hover tech language you developed for the undercarriages argued for a nice reality in it.

So... Oh yah -- HAPPY 100th page!! woot

Neat.
