licking your eyeballs as you sleep

[rodriguez]

Nothing but love for your awesome work

[Metal Fingers]

yea, its devin's favorite party trick when people pass out with their shoes on. ha! and yea, I was hoping these metal fingers would help me with my drawing structure, they don't, they are all rusty from spilled beer and sloppy drunk bathroom breaks.

[Texahol]

randis: I LOVE ....YOU
squidmonk3j:eeeeeeeeeeeeeee
randis: APRIL FOOLS
PHATandy: You can be honest with me on days that aren't april fools day. It's okay, I won't cry...

lotet: possumz
rodriguez: I dunno...is it?
metal fingers: I guess it's better than salad fingers

[Metal Fingers]

I really dig the idea in the sketch in the top right, its got a spooky but really dope vibe to it and yea, definitely better than salad fingers....

Wonderful sketchs.

[thirdeye]

Why is this monster getting ready to hump this guys behind cool stuff as always - like the smoky lady a lot

[dchung]

awesome sketchbook sir ! loving the smoking and vomitting dude about to be licked by monster thingie.

[DefiledVisions]

LOL.. oh yeah what artplastic question axers! shit.. cool stuff, really cool.

[Teundeboer]

Ah, the dreaded crash u get after a loooong sugarrush. It can only be postponed for so long.

I very much like the randomness in your scribbles after u not sleeping for 2 days.

[oren90]

nice lookin' doodles

[smokenmirrors]

so to the left corner sketch, the guy lost his head and to add insult to injury hes about to become giant worm gruel? That or your clevery telling the story of the headless animal dentist, to which I say: well done!

[teapo]

great updates devin~ really love how you render in grayscale. by the way, i took a gander at your creature step-by-step @ creaturespot, really helpful stuff! keep going buddy

[Cameli]

metal fingers: thanks! I really like that one too

dchung: yeah! wooo!! it was a fun sheet to work on
defiledvisions: hahahah thanks man
teundeboer: yeah, I actually drink sugarfree energy drinks so I can avoid that crash! You know something is wrong when you're falling alseep while drinking energy drinks tho
oren90: thanks!
smokenmirrors: hahaha yeah it's the first, the dentist bit cracked me up tho
teapo: thanks! I don't even really think much when rendering in greyscale It's more that I can't draw well, so I work in values more naturally.
cameli: thanks!!!!!


beonznghn again more busy with working. I did a little livestream again... ~1hr of working.
you can watch the whole stream here: http://livestream.com/devinplatts If you do watch it, the real stream starts about 5 minutes in, after the technical difficulties were worked out.

or you can just get the dirty from this video:

[oren90]

cool blue dog and enviro

[Knarf]

Yes! thats video is golden!!! thats pretty cool how you turn off the core shadow after you establish it just to focus on the color scheme, good tip.

-Frank

[Eddieee]

That new blue creature is sweeet!

[cgaddict]

Great creature design indeed, well done!

*pets*

[squidmonk3j]

Hi. I'd like to order three of those shiny, blue attack dogs plz!

[Nkristian]

BWAKANANG! galeng mu dude!!!

[D.C.]

Cool dawg dude , I love how you establish the lighting. I'll definitely check out that livestream.

[William b. Hand]

I really love many things going on with the saber-toothed goat type!

[ *nabs for study* ]

[Metal Fingers]

yea, yea yea, I know I've already said it but moaaar pokemon! It would be funny to see you do some more serious versions of pokemon, all bloody mouthed from eating other pokemon. The video was very informative and insightful for gauging your workflow though. thanks!

[Mr.Delicious]

[Texahol]

oren90: thank you!!
knarf: yeah, It's a lot easier to think about things, and if really helps when u are color picking to not get your shadows all messed up.
eddieee: thanks!
cgaddict: thanks! careful, he bitessssss
øyvind: yes sir, they will be in Oslo for pickup on the 22nd.
nkristian: Salamat! I think...
D.C.: thanks!! hopefully you don't mind the messed up intro... *cough*
hand man: thanks!
metalfingers: hahaha pokémon!!! man, I might do some actual pokémon one day...
mr. delicious: thank you for carrying meeeee

some warm-up quickie sketches getting going before I start in on freelance work from the last couple days. I have a bunch of random crap doodles I need to sort through. keeping things organized between 2 different computers makes my OCD act up...
In a few weeks I will have more time to do more rendered personal works for those of you getting tired of seeing poop sketches!

[Texahol]

aaaand a process on the fishy thing...just for good measure.

-sketch
-cleanup sketch
-multiply layer
-multiply layer
-combined multiply layers
-normal
-soft light
-normal + brightness contrast mask
-normal. [used brush set to multiply mode to darken]

[Krato]

cool updates, and thanks for showing your process!

[Mikko Voipio]

You told my life story on your livestream except that I went from cello to guitar/bass/keyboard and in 2005 to drawing. Can't play that much nowadays cause it would distract my drawing. Hope you'll be doing more of the streams in the future 'cause it was very informative. Your colors are getting better each time you post and the graininess is a very good addition to your style.

[Knarf]

Cool doodle. Show us the rest of the awesomes, kthxbye.
