Nice. The first page is gold man, love the entire thing. Still waiting on you to tell me how you go about lines and rendering.

See ya around!

**mrgrumble** · December 1st, 2007, 01:24 AM

i like the one that is awesome. aka: all of them.
keep it up, i know you will!

**Brendan N** · December 1st, 2007, 06:11 AM

goodness! love the face-page, have some cool stuff going on there.
Think your linework is already getting a bit stronger.
Keep it up sir!

**Cup of Joe** · December 1st, 2007, 09:04 AM

Damn, just keeps getting better!
The head with the goggles on the face page is particularly good.
Keep it up man!

**DanielC** · December 3rd, 2007, 01:50 AM

thanks alot doodz ! Proper replies soon. promise.
Heres a tiny up. Been doing perspective all day long. Its fun

**seth1** · December 3rd, 2007, 03:57 AM

Nice! i like how you are getting more interactive with your characters, really getting inside of there heads thinking more about relationships with one another facial expression poses. The poses in these ones look awesome keep pushing man. SOme more variation in line weight could really push your lines further you have it on your guy sitting not so much on the dude standing. Rock on.

**AlexC** · December 3rd, 2007, 07:11 AM

gotta go to bed now...

thanks all !!!!

**Spade** · December 6th, 2007, 03:56 AM

hey man, good chat the otherday. I gotta say your kicking some serious ass these days which is great!
Remeber to keep your lightsources (or sources) in mind when you render, on that last sketch your character's left shoulder and face are rendered with the shadow on the same side as the light of his other arm. Think about the direction of the light source and how that is hitting the planes and make your already sexy pics even hotter

cheers man

**archipelago** · December 6th, 2007, 04:56 AM

pay attention to the shape of the humerus bone! I dont think it would bend quite like it does in that last one!

I dont know the process in which you work, but in my opinion you should not be afraid to use an eraser! if you are not happy with something, just redraw it untill you get it perfect! it takes about 2 seconds most of the time, and is definitely worth it

dont be afraid to be a perfectionist!

I see you are taking coros advice rather well, all these lines are real awesome to see, maybe a bit scratchy here and there but it is no big deal.

keep it up bro!! cheers

Edit: if you dont fancy the eraser so much, an alternative method is just drawing really slowly and carefully, and making sure you are getting everything in there that you want... who am I to tell you a specific way to draw though, but maybe you will try it out if you havent already!

errr, yeah maybe this comment isnt that helpful!

**DanielC** · December 8th, 2007, 03:28 AM

Spade, lol dude you're still alive !!! ..ha ha j/k. Thanks for the comment. I already know it, but i don't pay attention enough... thanks thanks !!

Archi: Thanks a lot man ! actually i do use the eraser.. and quite a few times... Mostly at the very early stages where i have to play around with the composition and stuff. Later on i don't really use it since i'll be too far to be able to change anything... But thanks about the arm !!

here's a page...
And for those interested. a very old OC session with monseigneur The Gnoll ! http://rapidshare.com/files/75087047/gnolly_.wpe.html (my connection was really bad, thats why i had difficulties getting the lines down...)

**dadushin** · December 8th, 2007, 03:38 AM

hey man, great stuff in here
you obviously have a great sense for what you are doing
one thing i would say would be about the poses, some of them are just a tad bland(something i was told to work on as well, so i kind of notice it more), i know this more of an opinion thing so you don't really have to take it into account! just my thoughts!
anyways i think you do it in that last one with the woman/animal thing
keep updating! great inspiration book

**Brendan N** · December 8th, 2007, 04:26 AM

that queenbitch design is great dude! My only crit there is that the head feels a little "pasted on." I don't know if you intended it this way, but if you didn't you could maybe try to echo some of the figure's design elements on the head to unify it a little more. Really dig it overall. Also like the types of moods you place your characters in, You got this eerie awkwardness in some of these pages - bit unnerving and totally cool.

Great work again monsieur, keep it coming!
cheers!

**Stark** · December 8th, 2007, 12:00 PM

Sick! The little chat we had last night really helped me out and man, you can still bring the pain! The second page is probably my fave in this dump, but the guy enjoying the cup of coffee(tea) is just awesome. Good expression and lighting.

**Alexandr Pascenko** · December 8th, 2007, 12:14 PM

ha last demon chick is great ! love the facial expression. it´s almost cute and yet ugly as hell.

also liking the face on 1247.
keep going.

**MattGamer** · December 8th, 2007, 12:43 PM

Well fat fannies on a conveyor belt. Make these digitals man!!! Good job man.

**JadeDragon** · December 8th, 2007, 02:30 PM

I love sketchbooks where it seems very stream of consciousness. Like anything could happen. Mine are like that too...an ordinary drawing of a girl might suddenly turn part demon or robot. Keeps life interesting!

Beautiful sketches!~~~~Patrick

**towy** · December 8th, 2007, 05:53 PM

It's always very beautiful, I like the rigour of the line and your super dynamic creatures!

et Daniel c'est miss Réunion cette année

**AlexC** · December 8th, 2007, 08:39 PM

bravo

**DanielC** · December 8th, 2007, 09:01 PM
