the lander sketchbook

[Lander]

So I invested in Colors for Iphone and wohoo! fun fun fun.
I have a pocket full of paint

But these were maid in painter. SP was a quick one to practise.
C.O.W. #151 Venomous, Pale Blue, Obese Egg-Layer: I started on this after we had passed the deadline and I just wanted to get my rear in gear and create something. So it was quick and everyone busted my balls cos it was blurry and unfinished. True

[Lander]

some cows, and quick studies from photoref.
the crab critter was painted on my Iphone using Colors.

[Lander]

long time no show.

Here's some stuff.

[Lander]

some drawings I made last week for a friend and his "Zaardras book of songs".

[Seage]

What the hell? If this is 'low on the creative side' I want to see what 'totally inspired' looks like, lol.

Man, i must say, this last update is crazy, its like you snapped. The level of quality is really high. Great SB sir

And thanks for stopping by mine.

[jackpot_anjr90]

Nice work you've got here. I'd say to work on your strokes in these latest pictures...some details are a bit unreadable. Aside from that, you're really doing well! Keep it up!

[Dizon]

Your creatures are so full of color and design! Love it! Thanks for commenting on my sb.

[Lander]

low on the creative side is a two lane road. Same track as always and "in no mood for painting". We all know the feeling. I'll snap out of it in a while.

Seage: No I was feeling cretive while doing these. I'm no better thatn this at the moment
jackpot_anjr90: Yes well I have started to use a really undefined brush to lay out my initial work lately. These latest ones are all done from refimages and in quite a short time. So they are not meant to be refined. I however do have an issue with refining. I get tired of my work to fast. I'll have to work on that. Thanks anyways. I need to hear that.
Dizon: Thanks. It was my pleasure

[Lander]

have to practise alot! Not much time on this one.
I'll have to make a serious 2do list for the next year.
And here is also a pic from a monster tunnel I did with my whife for halloween.
Paper and glue so much fun

[jackpot_anjr90]

Sick monster tunnel man! Haha good stuff! Looking at your painting it seems you're getting into details a bit early. Make the forms readable first, establish a light source and bring your shadows together. That'll add some realism to your paintings. Keep it up

[Lander]

Hi folks

I have been working on this for some hours and I'm now taking a break for the night. I know the feet and legs suck. And I havn't worked them yet. But I need to print this in a few days so I could use some serious crit on it. The sword will need som shine too.
One more thing I'm working on a old laptop so do tell me if the colors are off cos I really can't tell from here.
Crit please!

[ninety9]

the monster tunnel is awesome! what´s the dimensions of this?

the sea-/fishfolk in #123 remind me of some creatures in the game "the witcher" wich i played recently. really cool.

[Lander]

Not sure but the spiders head was probably 50 cm. I used the kind off balls that kids have to play with at Mc Donalds as eyes. I guess the legs were roughly 2.5 meter.
The coccons were childsize with some shoes showing and toys nested within.

The fishmen were for a COW#158 "bloody buggery curly headed bloodsuckers of portsmouth" a while back. That I never had time to go beyond the inital sketch.

Thanks for stopping by.

[Lander]

time for the update of the knight. In the end it was printed on canvas 3,5 x 4,5 feet or so. Fun fun.
Thanks Red for input and directions.

[Lander]

Is there any progress? Well since I get the "Damn your light is all fuck up" reaction where ever I go. Maybe there is some truth to it. So I have decided to dedicate this spring to that.

But not yet

Here is first some other junk.

[redehlert]

Keep up the good work, buddy. Light is our friend, but definitely not a beer buddy. Light beers suck.

Cheers!
D

[Lander]

Thank's David Not so sure it's located in the good works folder on my drive but you have to keep going. True. You shold not mix art with light beer.

[lennon]

Great stuff man! Love the one were a guy is posing for a sculpture!

[Lander]

Lennon: You were saying that you didn't do to good on your last cow. Well I can tell you this much. Neither did I But that doesn't matter since it's all fun and play anyways

[Mag-Neo]

---NIce SB.... YOUR ALL KIND OF CREATURES & ENVIRO's LOOKS AMAZING....... GREAT JOB................... GOODLUCK!..............................

[Loathsome]

You've got some serious awesome in this sketchbook, I love the monsters that you do.

And thanks for the visit!

[Lander]

Mag-Neo: Thanks. Never had a post with that many CAPS
Loathsome: Tackar It's all for the fun of it. Wish I actually did this for a living. But that may come in due time. Really need to get some bad habits out of my system first.
And that would be done by ding lots of studies. Light and anatomy.

[Lander]

some new...

[Brun]

you have a very vivid imagination, which is great.

A little bit more knowledge of color / anatomy would bring your (already amazing) work to another level.

Please keep the updates coming

-Brun

[Lander]

Brun:Yes that is hopefully true. Only need energy and time.

Good thing that I don't do this to survive. Sure would be a interesting change to work as a concept artist for a while on a smaller project just to get a glimpse of the environment. Here is the deal. Get your shit togethere before you become parents. Once you have them little critters running around your feet everything else is secondary. It's been taking me years to get to this page in my SB and pretty much everything I painted in all that time is in here. Little is done on paper and I try to upload "everything" (well there are some scribbles that you don't need to see

So keep painting and stay happy. I know I am. And I have all the time in the world.

Oh I had this Chow that I havn't uploaded here. Alien Archeologist coming to earth in the future. I thought it would be a great cosmic joke if they looked like our genitals. Ha ha ha. Man I need a life.
I forgot. It came in two versions. The first one was done in time for the voting. But then the deadline was extended a week so I changed the comp and put it aside. Forgot about it and missed the deadline. How's that for a joke! Didn't matter much. so many grat entres that it had no chance in hell

[Lander]

Ellen made a funny face and I was there with my mobile. I need another 60 minutes to take this somewhere.

Thanks for looking

[Duman]

Awesome collection of equally awesome work.
Some of, correction, most of your ideas are pure creative gold.
Keep up the great work.

[Lander]

hmm guess I should put tis up here among the rest.

[Luk999]
