VilleK's Sketchbook - noT updated daily

**VilleK** · February 10th, 2007, 05:17 PM

Hi!

I just registered but I've been browsing these forums for ages. I'm a long time member at Sijun but I hadn't been able to get my self-esteem high enough to post in here. I feel very out of place amongst all the great artists but my friend half-forced me to register and put up a sketchbook. So here it is.

They're not chronologically arranged as I didn't want to put the worst work first.

New image. I first I made this in grayscale and tried to colour it afterwards with disastrous results.

**vigostar** · February 28th, 2007, 03:20 PM

oh chit..l think theres a new sheriff in town...

**Sady** · February 28th, 2007, 04:24 PM

I feel very out of place amongst all the great artists

*cough*

I´ve seen that second image before, in cgtalk maybe, and went right to the "images to be seen more carefully" folder.

Nice to see you here. 8)

**VilleK** · March 1st, 2007, 04:25 AM

The colours bothered me so much that I had to post this grayscale version too.
It's a bit dark as I had some weird issues with photoshop presets.

**sith** · March 1st, 2007, 04:38 AM

you feel outta place here? haha, this is really damn fine work. this'll probably be a five starrer in no time...

**rubber-chicken** · March 1st, 2007, 04:49 AM

**VilleK** · March 9th, 2007, 01:54 AM

Thanks guys!

3 quick characters for my portfolio.

**bhanu** · March 9th, 2007, 02:07 AM

welcome to ca man, this is a really cool thread indeed. the control over colors and tones is good.

**ChaoticKnight** · March 9th, 2007, 02:34 AM

I cried. I love the first battle pic that is insane!! crazy work man.

**Walklightly** · March 9th, 2007, 02:41 AM

Sick tonal control. You've obviously put a lot more into this work than you give yourself credit for.

**Dreamworker** · March 9th, 2007, 08:14 AM

Awesome stuff! I love all works in this thread, 5 stars for a great talent!
ciao

**VilleK** · March 30th, 2007, 04:56 PM

Thanks folks!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I got my first illustration assignment ever! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it...

I've completed half of the task and decided to let out some steam by painting something else for a change. My view on a character from Finnish national epoch, 3,5 hours.

Cheers!

I'm curious, who is it?
He just seems so foreign... hard to imagine him in those stories... Awesome drawing, though. I guess that's why I want to know who it is.

**VilleK** · April 11th, 2007, 02:22 PM

Guys, thanks for comments!

I decided to start practising 3d modeling as it seems that game companies don't employ artist that do only 2d, or it might be just in my case

. I'll show my first model as soon as it's finished. Other than that I've been busy with school and two freelance illustrations which I can't show for the NDA.

Jens> thanks I like to think so too.

affluxing heart> I'm flattered, thanks a lot!

varmayour> I use photoshop, my files are usually 4000 pixels high tops.

dmitri> he's Lemminkäinen the Islander. He might seem foreign if you compare him to the milk-boy seen in Finnish Nationalist paintings, but according to Kalevala he had coal black locks.

asoir, callops and everyone: thanks!

This time I can only offer you this brainless 2-hours sketch. Drawing is fast if you don't put much though in it.

**Brendan N** · April 11th, 2007, 03:56 PM

Wow dude, very inspiring work!
Your value structure are impeccable and your burshwork is amazing.
Love it all, dig your approach to fantasy subjects - feels more mature than most, reminds me of cos konoitis a bit.
Great thread, keep it alive and have 5 more!
cheers!

**Capprotti** · April 19th, 2007, 11:33 PM

Wow, I can't believe you just recently got your first illustration work! Unbelievable, you've got way too much talent to have been sitting on it for so long. Glad to hear you're workin and looking forward to see what you're doing. Great stuff man! Keep it up!
