i like your work.

**Sickbrush** · July 29th, 2006, 04:25 PM

thx, oma..
here's a first sketch i've done for some friendly competition on the romanian arts forum. military theme.

**Sickbrush** · July 29th, 2006, 09:50 PM

would really appreciate some crits on this..

**silvestri99** · July 29th, 2006, 10:06 PM

Love your pencil work and shading style. Bold, graphic and confident, tho your anatomy could still use some more studying from life.

**Sepulverture** · July 30th, 2006, 01:04 AM

Hey there. Nice pieces. Good pencil work, good foreshortening on the tanks main gun in that last one (although the machine gun looks like it could use some work.) All in all not bad.

**bhanu** · July 30th, 2006, 05:35 AM

great great great.
Your sketching is top notch.I think in the last pic the shadings on the faces is too much.Teh perspective on the gun seems off too.I would like a bit more contrast too.
Keep going mate ,you are doing a great job.

**sabe2003** · July 30th, 2006, 05:56 AM

sweet hatching!

**Cigaro** · July 30th, 2006, 06:11 AM

mistooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

great stuff, really liking your crosshatching style and your figures...good ammount of contrast in them too

keep going dude

**kaktuzlime** · July 30th, 2006, 06:28 AM

Yeah, I'm liking many of these. A very noticable progress! Keep it up!

**young paddy1** · July 30th, 2006, 07:08 AM

I like the hatching style you use a lot, great texture and lighting.
My only crits would be watch your perspective, some of the gun barrels look too long and have overly circular ends, they should be elipses due to their angle to the viewer. The gunner's hhead appears to be too narrow at the top as if his head is the same width as his helmet.

cheerio

**Sickbrush** · July 30th, 2006, 02:02 PM

silvestri99 - thx man, yeah, i know my anatomy's lacking...

Sepulverture - thx for the good words.. i didn't have too much time to
spend on these so the next will probably be even more rapid and undetailed..

bhanu - thank u, i saw that the perspective is a little dizzy but still, the machinegun isn't parallel to the cannon..i'm tryin to keep it up..

sabe2003 - thx d00d

cigaro - hehe, thx, keep in touch

kaktuzlime - thx 2 u also

young_paddy1 - special thx for the crit. .. i'll try to practice and handle perspectives better in the future...
thx all, keep dropping by, it does make a difference.

next, third war page. very quick one.

**Dile_** · July 30th, 2006, 02:20 PM

Hey slayer, nice stuff, I like your renderings

So 4 stars from me

**Sickbrush** · July 30th, 2006, 06:59 PM

More from the front...

this last one's a wip.

**Sickbrush** · August 1st, 2006, 10:06 AM

**Flynn** · August 1st, 2006, 10:25 AM

Cant really give any crits, other than perhaps in time I will forgive you for being so good

Keep it up

Want to see you play more with colour now

**Sepulverture** · August 1st, 2006, 10:33 AM

You have a wonderful knowledge of military machines. Quite enviable *mumble mumble envy envy*. I agree with one of these other fellows who is egging you on into color.

**Sickbrush** · August 1st, 2006, 01:02 PM

umm.. really don't think i deserve those words... but thank you ..
i promise that as soon as i have some spare time, i'll go through your sb's and give some quality feedback.. thank you all.. color is to come soon.

**Sickbrush** · August 2nd, 2006, 05:12 AM

**Fellah.** · August 2nd, 2006, 05:20 AM

i can't really comment on the technique as you're much better than me, so i'll focus on the subject instead, which i am rather familiar with. did you use a reference picture?

are they wearing helmets? they look more like ski masks. helmets are rather air-y, imagine wearing a motorcycle helmet without the cushions. only thing keeping it from flying off are chin straps.

the details on the mounted weapon are ambiguous. it's hard to tell what anything is behind/below the barrel. the barrel itself is too short, machine guns are around 1 metre in length and half of it is the barrel. the structure of the barrel is also wrong, as it's simply 1 massive piece of iron with a hole drilled through it. it shouldn't taper down that way.

the turrent and 2ndary machine gun also suffers from the same issue, too short, and an ambiguous behind. the turret reaches towards the viewer, so it should expand in size.

war update

**Sickbrush** · August 6th, 2006, 04:11 AM

Always a good thing to pop by your SB here.
Awesome and constant progress.

a good grasp of perspectives and foreshortening will make a better presentation.

this is what yours should look like, even if we ignore the technical details, this is the correct perspective.

or at the very least, something like this.

**Sickbrush** · August 6th, 2006, 03:45 PM

ufff... ok .. will try...

thx man

**Cigaro** · August 6th, 2006, 04:25 PM

well i fell in love with that soldier

**Sickbrush** · August 12th, 2006, 03:00 PM

gonna do a collage soon including around 50 portraits of the same person..

**Banshax** · August 12th, 2006, 06:08 PM

Your grasp of volume and skill in hatchin is very inspiring! The anatomy studies and portraits are really a joy to look at.
