a dog machine thing...

**karichristensen** · March 13th, 2006, 02:32 PM

I really love the motion of the bug creature and pokemon looking creature second to the top of the page.

**LoTekK** · March 13th, 2006, 02:41 PM

Nifty creature studies. Love that first zombie chick.

The wips of your assignment look really impressive. I take it those are traditional? What size are you working at for those?

**eXplosiveLimes** · March 13th, 2006, 03:11 PM

Nice work. You should boost the .jpg quality though, good work should get equally good presentation. I really like your zombies!

**kyi_72** · March 15th, 2006, 11:19 PM

**mlsfishi** · March 16th, 2006, 12:57 AM

Ya got some pretty neat beasties there. =) And the cities are great, if slightly tilted to the left.

**bhanu** · March 16th, 2006, 02:54 AM

Blown away completely.I am in love with bug characters ,and also the architechtural stuff.Amazing.Are you in anyway inspired by tsutome nihei.His books blame and noise have somewhat the same style to the buildings and structures.
POST MORE.POST MORE.

**archipelago** · March 16th, 2006, 03:25 AM

Cool stuff man, love those last few enviros especially. They would make an awesome sci fi movie

**kyi_72** · March 16th, 2006, 10:14 PM

more stuff...

**kyi_72** · March 17th, 2006, 01:31 PM

morning sketch of a character inspired by the old japanese kikaida/kamen rider/go ranger shows i used to watch. with a little bit of still suit thrown in too.

**kyi_72** · March 23rd, 2006, 12:00 PM

some gesture warmups before i start the days work.

**poise** · March 23rd, 2006, 12:06 PM

some really interesting and nice drawings. I especially like the the second spider/bug drawing, and the last page.. the gilrs head on the bottom left.

**PHATandy** · March 23rd, 2006, 12:32 PM

Some good creative stuff man, the sword gestures are really ace, i love em. Perspective stuff seems good but your colouring seems to lack quality, seems really very rough and edgy, try using more strong sharp highlights and dark areas, contrast. Glowing overcolours, not seperate colours for like everyshape.

Good stuff though keep it up.

**TheGnoll** · March 23rd, 2006, 02:53 PM

wow, really cool stuff.I just fell in love with the two headed dog thing...the zombie katana chick is creepy

more!
More!
MORE!

https://tiger.towson.edu/~kichik1/images/3-17-06.jpg is rather awesome. It might look a bit better onscreen if you did some contrast adjustments to make the darks darker, but that's not a knock on the drawing.

The cityscapes and other environment stuff show cool ideas, great composition, and just lots of architectural skill in general. They do look very rough around the edges though...Like if I look at them from far away they're fine, but when I get closer I'm seeing a lot of ugly noise around the linework. I think some of this is due to jpeg compression, but maybe those areas could use some refinement.

Anyway, good stuff

Thanks for stopping by me book.

**Njord-E55** · March 25th, 2006, 07:53 PM

On some of your pictures the anatomy is funky, and some it is good. Keep up the good anatomy. I also like your asian inspired theme and gesture drawings.
Something you can work on is your face lines.
Remember that facial features, especially eyes, have sobe horizontal to eachother. On a few of your heads one of them is a bit higher than the other.

Keep on Drawing.

**squakz** · March 25th, 2006, 08:12 PM

i like your quality of line. good stuff!

i think your figures need some improvement though. I would start with proportions (although they get better in the last gestures)

keep it up!

**kyi_72** · March 28th, 2006, 12:59 AM

thanks for visiting folks. digital painting is a challenge, extreemely difficult for me since i have never been a particularly strong traditional painter.

practice, practice, practice.

here are some value studies. the two female figures are from some contour drawings from a year ago that i scanned today and then painted. the gesture page is from this afternoon, waiting for class to start.

as always comments and crits are more than welcome.

draw!

**kyi_72** · March 29th, 2006, 10:12 AM

another, think i'll take this one into photoshop and paint it eventually.

**TheGnoll** · March 29th, 2006, 10:47 AM

damn, guess we all gotta do anatomy practice, but i just can't wait to see more monsters and chicks with swords

the patterns and decorations you use are really cool

MORE!

**tensai** · March 29th, 2006, 10:49 AM

https://tiger.towson.edu/~kichik1/images/line-art-4.jpg

and the updates for those. really nice, would love to see where you gonna take those things man.

**kyi_72** · March 30th, 2006, 09:50 AM

thanks to everyone for stopping by and looking, commenting and crits. here are some sequentials that i did for class last semester and an update to one of the pencil sketches. gotta start doing more environments.

**Andy P** · April 1st, 2006, 02:33 AM

Man, I'm really diggin those model drawing a lot. Top notch. I like those enviros a lot too, I think I actually prefer the B/W to the color. If you work that way again (starting with a B/W study, then going to color) I'd say try and stay closer to the values you lay out in the B/W piece because they obviously already work. Nice stuff!

**kyi_72** · April 6th, 2006, 10:19 AM

heres a wip, struggling a bit w/ digital painting. will try a new approach when i pick this up again. till then...

**kyi_72** · April 13th, 2006, 11:30 AM

some more stuff from the past week...

thumbnails for an illustrator assignment. my take on a candy ad/billboard/projected image of the future.

and the resulting illustrator ad.

this is a wip that i am struggling with, painting digitally should not be this hard, but it is. still struggling with a process that works for me.

thanks for looking, crits always appreciated.

draw!
