hp-I think your right on that picture, the figure on the bottom left is was the actual tilt from the perspective camera when a friend of mine added some people, but I think your right, it does seem a little weird.

Xaya-I agree with you on the wall and the skies, I would've fixed the skies if I didn't leave Dubai so soon. I need to get better on my environments more

Thanks for the crits, much obliged

Here are some sketches I'm trying to shoot for on the Chow #99, I need to learn better poses and cooler poses.

back to work

[zao75231]

Apocalypse_Rex-Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you like my stuff

This took about 5 hours? some experimenting

[zao75231]

Some doodle of siamese twins (inspired by bumskee...need to stop doing long necks) and random doodle from reference. Oh and Min's brushes are on page 40 if anyone is interested

[hp]

cool, i'll have to check out his/her (? wtf is min) haha brushes.

i think the twins are neat...check out james jean's thingy for fables if you haven't, reminds me of that.

[Unbreakable]

hey nice to see you're still active. I think you should lots of studies and pay attention to proportion and structure. keep it up

[zao75231]

hp-That fables looks interesting, I'll look into that. Yeah who the fuck is Min, I dunno, sounds like he sux I kid I kid.

Unbreakable-Yea thanks Brian, I'm losing my touch. Will be back with some hardcore studying.

18 minute drawing, will be back soon with some studies

[zao75231]

Some bridgman studies and a digital painting of a old locker room from photo reference done in CS3 photoshop, around 3 hours. My thanks to Tony for showing me the site of opacity.us, VERY cool site

[cinnamon_girl]

nice lockers! all you need now is to draw in one of your figures getting locked in one...

[zao75231]

cinnamon_girl-hehe, thanks, I knew something was missing

Here is a green tunnel from photo reference

[zao75231]

Here is a doodle that was done at the Austin sketch group today, I had lots of fun there chatting with my good friends from Ensemble, Id and NcSoft. I didn't think it would be that packed and I didn't expect people to come up to me and say "Aren't you that guy who went to Dubai?" lol, Oh man, good times

yeap, I'm the douche who went to Dubai, hehe.

Here is a sketch I did and I have a pencil sketch that I need to scan, soon as I get a scanner again, and it was the first in a long time to do pencil and paper.

[Gardener]

nice works, and i was really shaked by how many you have practiced!
great man! keep it up~

[MattGamer]

yes, the practice does help. looking good man! keep at it and don't let anything stop you!!

[zao75231]

Gardener-Thanks

MattGamer-Thanks sir, same to you, like your progress in your sketch book too

Here is the interior of a grungy chapel. I was trying to get the textures to work together with the values, I think I need to work harder on that.

[Anurizm]

you do some great lighting.

[zao75231]

Anurizm-Thanks

Here is another environment.

[zao75231]

This was done in photoshop CS3, crits most very welcome. Hope you enjoy

[zao75231]

Quick sketch today.

[theEQUINOX]

great stuff as always man, more more more!

[zao75231]

kicking it back old school, tryin to get back in the paper and pencil, it's been a while

I'm doing another album cover for the band Inferi, so I'll show the progress of it here.

[hp]

your album art is awesome, you should do more pieces like that

the one you posted on jan 29th seems cool except for the red and blue...for some reason i don't feel like it works with the other colors, makes it feel more juvenile or something. maybe needs more glow or something ^^

[curry23]

I can see some good improvements from the start of this sketchbook C:
I know this is an older sketch, but maybe this can still help? I would suggest making your women's arms a little more fatty.

Nickdammit-Hey Nick, I'll be in touch with you shortly

Quick warm-up, this one took at least an hour or so. I guess I put the pencil stuff on hold till I get the album art project out of the way, I'll do some doodles here and there.

[zao75231]

a quick sketch of me and my sister

[zao75231]

This is my other sister, Robin, she wanted one so badly

[zao75231]

Here is some stuff for 2 Art tests and It took me just few days to do these with some wasted sleep. So hopefully I get a job with just my potential and I hope you enjoy.

Feel free to give any crits, all is welcome.

[zao75231]

Here are some environment thumbnails for the "Deep" chow. I think I'm going to have the story of one man going to the abyss to destroy the underwater life that has taken over the land that was lost after a armageddon or maybe a person in search of something that was taken by him by a sea creature and must retrieve it back for someone or humanity...not sure on the story.

[zao75231]

Need some help on the color of this, I'm open to any suggestions. This is for album cover, I hope you like. here is a bigger version and smaller version
