**voxmortem** · March 3rd, 2009, 07:53 PM

anyone seen my jaw? i think ive lost it somewhere around page 27 -.-

I love your value studies and poses in motion, especially boxing guys, your SB is very inspiring

**Dissociation** · March 3rd, 2009, 08:27 PM

I don't know if I'm a fan or an addict now.
Either way, I'm lovin' it.

The linework is so...clean!
You must use extremely good erasers??
I'm floored.
Keep enjoying yourself

**openanewworld** · March 8th, 2009, 06:46 PM

Dissociation, all those lines are done in photoshop, yeap it has good erase, thanks for loving my arts

voxmortem, willtiggety, MacTire, flamable, BigPapaRaels, Mr.Delicious, kidult, Carnifex, zweiDee, algenpfleger, Hygami, Kristo Novo, thanks man

Oki, good idea, sometimes I really afraid to highlight too much

Extollere, unfortunately I fail that chow

Man Made God, thanks I use a few brushes on those study not just round brushes, they take me 3 hours to work on, well I think I use too much time on detail actually

smokenmirrors, thanks yeap it is

**AlexTooth** · March 8th, 2009, 07:07 PM

Holy crap man I am in love with your sketchbook, it's so good, and a good goal for one to set themselves

As for your latest study may I ask a couple of questions, because I love them, they look so good! How long does each one take you? & How do you tackle them, is it a dark figure to begin with then lots of light and dark passes? or something more simple? Are you so good you just paint it and it looks awesome? lol free to ignore my questions. I am just impressed!

**vayne108** · March 8th, 2009, 07:58 PM

Awesome, your one of the best artists I've seen!! I can't wait to see more!!

**Sickbrush** · March 9th, 2009, 09:36 AM

always a pleasure dropping by, friend. all i see is great stuff.

**Clandestine_IX** · March 9th, 2009, 12:30 PM

I just got done looking through your thread for the very first time and I must say you absolutely BLEW MY HEAD OFF!!!

pld:

This is some of the most inspiring character art I've ever seen really. You've inspired me to push my line work to new levels Thank you and good luck your awesome!

**Seage** · March 10th, 2009, 02:40 AM

Damn. I was supposed to go to bed almost 2 hours ago. Instead im here drooling over your sketchbook!

I love you work. Your lines and your painting are so great, I only hope I can become as good as you soon. Keep pushing and doing all this work.

5 stars from me.

**Peter Berkovski** · March 10th, 2009, 04:34 AM

superb studies mate, can't wait to draw with you

I already voted for this thread but I give you another 5 stars

**Pixie Bergman** · March 10th, 2009, 06:27 AM

Hey Herman! We finally got to see the Stormrise concepts. Its awesome! Very inspiring sketchbook here. Please keep sharing!

**openanewworld** · March 10th, 2009, 07:15 AM

just some more posts studies before I paint them

Pixie Bergman, nope worry man good you like them

Peter Berkovski, Seage, _^SlayeR^_, vayne108, thanks

Clandestine_IX, good to hear this, always push yourself that is good habit

AlexTooth, each figure takes me 40 minutes to finish, I use line to draw the basic shape then I paint with the tones I have on that page, I paint everything in one layer, I use middle Grey to paint on base tone first

**Dahami** · March 10th, 2009, 07:28 AM

In near-photoreal environments and representations of the female figure you are tops. Keep drawing.

**D@niel** · March 10th, 2009, 11:32 AM

Holy crap man, thats some awesomeness right there!!

**PieMonster** · March 10th, 2009, 11:40 AM

Dude, those line figures are insane!

**Lone Wolf** · March 10th, 2009, 12:55 PM

Great work all around! 5 stars.

**Seage** · March 11th, 2009, 07:17 PM

You're driving me to kill myself over anatomy! You make it looks so easy!!

**bluemonika** · March 12th, 2009, 04:54 AM

**Quike Garcia** · March 12th, 2009, 06:59 AM

**Gelvin** · March 12th, 2009, 08:05 AM

**walnut** · March 19th, 2009, 05:58 PM

I've only just seen the last couple pages, but that sure is enough to take my hat off to you, good man. Well, i'm not actually wearing a hat, so that's really symbolically speaking. But if i was wearing a hat, i'd take it off for sure! The pose on that green elf girl with the leaky arm is groovy as hell btw.

**Giorge** · March 19th, 2009, 06:33 PM

very nice poses , and the last concept looks great

**fullmetaljacket** · March 24th, 2009, 06:50 AM
