NSFW - Nudity Chris Nygaard aka Hive_minD ~updated page 21! : [03-Apr-13]

[Hive_minD]

Chris is my name. Been around CA.org for ages. After long thoughts and mental-battles I started my own SB (the BAH-book).
I'm here to learn

Hopefully you will also see progress in my art as the amount of pages rises!
Cheers

Chris.

[Hive_minD]

new update. Bah.

Chris

[aph]

Hey nice start! Welcome.

The first picture is too solid in tone, you really need some highlights to accentuate the form of the alien head. I quite like this though.

The latest muscle study.. right arm muscle looks pretty small. Maybe thats what its like I don't know. Just make sure you get anatomy CORRECT when you draw it, don't learn mistakes =D.

Keep up the good work!

[Hive_minD]

~aph : thanks for the crit mate. the alien\beast-thing I'm still working on. I'm also planning on doing it in Painter. but will see.. need the time to do it

Hey CA, new update, with some sketches i did a few weeks ago...
hope you guys like my stuff.
Chris.

[Hive_minD]

Chris.

[Studio Colrouphobia]

I like it. Try working larger and get more detail in with the last one.

[Studio Colrouphobia]

Thx for dropping by my sketchbook - Check out the "current project" link in my sig for the Terminator WiP updates...

[Hive_minD]

Hey fellow artists...
sorry its been awhile.. I've been really busy.
anyways here is a SMALL update.
just some quickies i did last night... the shading isn't perfect, at all...
more to come. and ill try to post more often.
crit this shit

Chris

[Studio Colrouphobia]

these ones I liked. Alot.
I like the shading technique (I have used it myself on many occations, though since I rarely do anything with led-tipped pencils nowadays I rarely use this shading technique) and it is done very nice.

Especially the bottom head is very neat.
If you are going to colour these ones, a suggestion is to use levels in PS to make them more or less lines only, keep the shadowed one as a reference, and possibly pick up some references for rubber, metal and leather to use for the colouring parts...

[marcoferrigno]

cool, your a warhammer player hey? nice stuff, you seem to have a pretty good grip on human proportions, get any Nid sketches that you cna show us? i love that first image, what is that? an eel or something? the thumbs on your hand sketches seem a little out of proportion but apart from that there all pretty nice drawings.

[Hive_minD]

hey guys..

~colrouphobic : Thanks mate, for the tips and crits. wish i had your skillz, then everything would be easier

~reaper : thanks. the first creature is some kind of "thing" ill maybe make a quick sketch of the whole body, when i get the time. yeah warhammer rocks. you like nids!?? me 2. i got some sketches somewhere, just have to find them. if i don't ill make some new ones

anyways, Ill try to update soon.

Chris

[Hive_minD]

Chris.

[MattGamer]

[anubis713]

Um... it's been awhile... huh?

Well, there is some really nice stuff in here.

[Hive_minD]

Yes i am a bum...
School and work every day is killing me.
-and on top of the whole thing i lost my internet for a week or two, but at least I've moved my PC in my room now..
anyways, I'm gonna try to most more often now.

I'm updating with 3 different projects, one WIP, and two finished.
~the first one is a digital speedy, made in Painter. i only used ink-brushes.
- I'm still trying to learn the program.

~the second one is a drawing of another project. a black undead knight. i started it after reading Inheritance- a vampire7undead book. its still not done yet though....

~the last one is my first oil painting ever. another speedy, round about 5-6min. i guess its ok.


Feel free to give me any CC. thx
love Chris.

[Hive_minD]

I guess its that time again...
I'm trying to post more often as u can see. (hope it lasts.
even though I'm not happy with what I'm posting...

~its a WIP of a death korps of krieg. done in painter, models as ref. well see if i finish it. CC welcome

Chris.

[DARAF]

Keep it coming, and do it daily.

[Christian223]

Hi, your drawings are really nice but i think you should practice shading more simpler objects first, like spheres, boxes, cones, and the like, and be sure to have a scale of values divided in shadows, halftone, light, and highlight, get andrew loomis book called succesfull drawing because it explains it better there, im sure youll improve a lot if you do that, good luck!.

[Hive_minD]

thanks for CC guys.
love some of Your stuff ~DARAF

anyways, heres a little update. quick doodles before i go to work..
cya.

Chris.

[TheGnoll]

good updates...keep 'em coming like DARAF says, make 'em daily, and make sure you keep doing anatomy studies once in a while

keep sharing


ciao

[Smoke]

I am in love with death korps, more please

[Envisor]

Squid face is looking really cool, would like to see the full character.

[koshime]

Ello hive. Nice to see your SB on here. For a feeling of more 3D ness, try to do sketches/drawings with more of a side angle/ partial orthographic view rather than a pure profile view (which can appear flat and purely 2D)

[dan liimatta]

#9, the gasmaskie to the left looks really good.

anyway good to see anatomy studies as always, and keep it up!

[mentler]

Very interesting thread <> keep working <> improvement flows like water <>

[flamehands]

hey, good to see you are starting out boldly and enthusiastically. keep working on getting depth in your work and don't make everything glow like the last digital painting. Select the lighting and stick with it
last two sketches were good

[Hive_minD]

~TheGnoll: Well I guess I failed on that "daily" part... things are so hectic, if you know what I mean... But I'll try do at LEAST post once a week. -and don't worry, anatomy will be faced with courage!
~Smokey186: I'll see what I can mix up
~Envisor: I doubt it, but I'll surely make more tyranid art...
~Koshime: Damn, you noticed! I guess I often take the easy-way, since I always tend to hate my "art". But I guess I have to face my fears again some day
~Dan liimatta: Cheers mate.
~Mentler: Your words are just as inspiring as your art... Thank you for posting here. I hope you will be visiting my SB more often.
~Flamehands: Thanks for popping by mate

I am sorry to say I haven't come with any updates. To tell the truth I've been avoiding my own SB in fear of hearing the crowds shouts for new art. Things have been so hectic over here, though I shouldn't be kidding myself. The main reason I don't post so often is because I just hate my stuff. I'm never really happy with a drawing I make, and I never really get all my sweet ideas on paper. Don't know why. Things just don't turn out the way I want them to. -just like life.
anyways I'm planning on updating my SB REALLY soon. -and from then on ill try to post more often. (at least once a week...hopefully more)

Chris.

[Hive_minD]

WOW!
I'm updating. damn thats amazing! A miracle. Magic! I like it. I think I'm getting addicted! I'll have to do it more often.
This is a fast speedy. -maybe wip.
I tried focusing on the proportions.... -_-
Learned allot about Painter with this speedy.
cmon, rape this shit! (CC)

Chris.

[Hive_minD]

As I said. I'm going to try to post more. So here is an update again. From now on you will be seeing much more crap that I don't even like...
Just like these fast lines I did in Painter -resembling so-called weapons.
might go back and do more detail on them in the future... who knows
BAH
CC always welcome

Chris.
