@AustenFM: thanks a lot for the support man!

@p sage:wow man,this kinda replies make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside thank you very much for taking the time to look thru this massive dump the periods you mentioned were actually important, basically cause i got together with my girlfriend (having someone with you that shares you passions does help a lot) and i also changed the group of people i hang out with (from "yay lets get drunk everyday" to *again* people that share the same passion for drawing/comics and common objectives.
I'm actually quite jealous of the huge leaps of some of the people on the boards, but i guess each one has its own path to follow (plus i am extremely lazy compared to many of these hard-working people)

This is so awesome: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...7&d=1255864119

Keep it up!

[AustenFM]

Your updates never fail to give me a smack in the face. I actually gathered a whole lot from your last post, some very important things fell into place for me just now. I'm off to go apply it!

Thanks!

[Alexandr Pascenko]

imagination huh?

imageeeeeeeeeeenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa a a a tio oooooooooon . i maaaaginaaaa eeee tion!

very good!

[walnut]

Aah, good stuff man! That guy with the wrench is a lot of fun, and so is that vaginamouthmonster thing with the spots. And some nice figures to boot.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hey dude! It's been too long since we last spoke, I really like that last ink sketch as a matter of fact. And the adonis figures are realy really cool^^

-E

[TASmith]

I'm a longtime watcher. I just tried bumping you up a star, your work at this point is stellar.

[p sage]

Your belching creatures are always fun. You have some nice ladies in this latest update, too.

[Bloodsbane]

Aww fuck yeah!
My favourite D&D critter is totally rocking the house!
I've missed like 80 pages of sketchbooky goodness here.. gonna be a real pleasure to partake in the journey of your progression. You've come a long way, baby!

[B-Man]

Gnoll! This is some serious update! I feel like your this gas giant of awesomeness ready to explode!

[Ariel9]

Can't afford Lucca this year sadly, but there's always next year! Good luck there anyways

Ohhh, these are all SO awesome. The last monster is scary and amazing, and the sort of dinosaur ridden by that guy with the hat has a very Moebius-like feel (probably the hat xD).
Your figures look more and more effortless, like they come to you as natural as breathing. It kind of leaves me staring in awe!

[ICH]

Grow and grow and grow. Keep it up Ryan!

[Teundeboer]

Awesome update, really like the spotted monster and your figures are very strong.
Hm, I believe this is my first time posting here. Been checking this out for a while tho.

[miycko]

[Dr poPcoRN]

nice update like the environment you did in pen amongst all of the others!

[JellevdVegt]

the crocodile-ish creature is cool, reminds me of yar yar binks! haha and the lizardcreature head is insane! not to speak of nibru, the grandfather of all CA characters ever drawn!! good stuff

[DANKA]

Very nice sketchbook! I really like the characters studies on post 2594...expecially the sailor man!!!keep drawing! keep creating! keep up!!!

AAwwwright, time for an update.
Just a sketchdump for now.A big comic convention in italy was held in Lucca a couple of days ago, and was a great way to do some networking, geting to know some cool artists and editors, show my work around and get as drunk as i could with old and new friends (pics on my facebook profile-Ryan Lovelock)...and the fanzine sold well too
Right, nuff said, on to the sketches.

Don't ask



Posemaniacs, 30 and 15 sec.



practice figures (imagination)





doodles




gestures (imagination)





some warmup things to practice figures in relation with stuff



character sketches








ciao!

[ICH]

Your gestures rocks, bud.

[Quike Garcia]

Man, I don't know how I missed your previous update...
I love these

And for sure the notes you gave to Jakers... Bruce Willis is the ultimate badass...

I really like the last doodles you're showing.. specially the fantasy line.. great detail

The only thing I miss on them is a bit more of body language. I mean, sometimes you nail it, but sometimes is not so well caught.

Anyway, is a great work you're doing

[Carnifex]

inspiring!
i should do some gestures aswell...

[smokenmirrors]

looking good!
