[sketcheth]

Wow sweet figure studies!

[Shadow Stalker]

Nice update, dude.

[BlackDelphin]

aaah more hands~ gotta love a well done hand!! especially if it's not anime like

[Nicky S]

Whoa! You crazy man! ^^

Good sketches, I like the bug sketches, they work with a minimum of lines. Very good.

Nice color studies as usual.

Don't worry too much about the amount of stuff you're creating, try to keep a good balance between quality and quantity. The same with studies and imaginary work.
You show me stuff, and I'll try to give some decent comments and advice.

Keep it up man, sorry for my abscence, I'll come by more often.

[Quike Garcia]

This last speedpainting looks great

[sketcheth]

link_choi: Thanks!

Shadow Stalker: Thanks, mate!

BlackDelphin: I do my best to stray from those anime hands as often as I can. :3

Nicky S: You speak words of wisdom, my friend...the quality is the most important thing. once I get some of my outside work finished I'll be set to do some more studies and really work again. Thanks for commenting, sir!

Quikenobi: w00t, thank you sir!

Just a small update. speedpainting...kinda struggling with the faces still... I'll be scanning from my sketchbook soon...

My face...with this one I definitely had one of those experiences where i kept working and just went at it a little too long. There were some really nice strokes that were very effective in the early stages that I ended up overworking. I guess I know what's "too far" a little better now, though. Good experience.

Some sketches for the Team CHoW...

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hey dude^^ Another cool self portrait, and the characters are looking quite cool Keep at it man^^

-E

[Nicky S]

Nice update!,

The speedpainting looks good, don't have any critique on it... Is it from mind or reffed?

The self-portrait seems stuck in between two stages, the stage where the painting is still painterly, and the stage where a painting gets finished till it's crisp and clean. I guess that makes it feel overworked.. It's still good though.. Especially for educational pusposes.

Oh and the sketches for the team Chow ! I love sketches like this in photoshop, one thing I would crit are the legs of the big guy on the far right, they could've been more defined. But overal it's looking great!
And... Is that an afro on the left character? Would be cool. It enhences the silhouette.

Keep it up!

[Quike Garcia]

Really nice sketches for the Team ChOW

[GweNdZ]

i Dig those character designs! ^w^

[Mat Kaminski]

Sheesh, you are kickin ass so hard sir... IT HURTS

[hala]

good luck to your chow team!
and the 50 min study in the post before that was great too!

[griffinfly]

great new studies, I especially like the tribesman with yellow flowers, the asian girl and that awesome negative space self portait. was a pleasure to check with your thread

[sketcheth]

NickyS: This one is reffed, again just so I can observe color...maybe I should try to make it up more often?
Yeah, I think you hit the nail on the head, it's very in between. So thank you very much for pointing that out...I guess I either have to stop short or get in for the long haul. Thanks for stopping by again, Nick.

Quikenobi: Hey thanks!

GweNdZ: More to come, for sure!

Matte_Art: Pffsh. You're kind.

hala: Yeah! And same to yours! It's going to be crazy!

griffinfly: Well thank you very much! I appreciate your visit and the feedback! I'm glad my speedpaints read enough that you could interpret those as flowers and not just mustard stains or something.

[Mat Kaminski]

I especially like the self-portrait this time around! Great colors and mood!

You're definitely going to get somewhere... and fast!

The thumbs are great as well... we could do alot with those when it comes down to the project
Man... I'm kinda sad that we only have to make 3 characters with all these great thumbs we are all pulling out hahaha!!

Anyway... talk to you at the meet soon

[zelda_geek]

The characterfrom the most left of the team chow sketch is absolutely delicious. I can see bright future for you my friend

Drop by to share some tips if you have time. Best Wishes, Ice

[cdejong]

Oh my goodness.

Those thumbnails are HOT! Love the pencilled characters as well as the digital ones from your previous post. The pencilled building/enviro is so sick... I just love the character designs and everything, your work looks so awesome.

[sketcheth]

Nicky S: I have failed you, then! I need to post more!

Jamie: I am having a blast, and the thumbs are really a blast to do, yeah...love those. Glad you enjoy them too!

Mat: Haha, yeah, although... I think we're going to have plenty of challenges with the characters we've got. :3

zelda_geek: Haha, mmmmm, this one was fun. Thanks for stopping by!

tokotewhero: w00t! Thanks!

hala: Oh gosh..."fans"? Yikes. I will try to post more.

BlackDelphin: Yay! Cool!

Icecold: Well thanks for stopping by! I'll be sure to stop by your thread and return the favor! Thanks again!

Connor: Yo yo yo! The practice pays off, I guess. I've been enjoying work lately, so this is really refreshing. Thanks for the comment, bro, hope you're doing well!

This is a conglomeration of some of my more recent work. I'm sorry it's been so long since the last post!
We've got some Team ChoW sketches...normals ketches/studies...and a self portrait that I like of the few I've done lately.

[cdejong]

Loving the update! Great faces, very nice looking, and all those character thumbs are delicious. The character painting looks very interesting, very intriguing... I'm looking forward to seeing him done!

I like the speedpaint of that windfarm cliffside shanty town. Keep on rocking!

[Nicky S]

Hehe, lol, have you been watching star wars lately? Cause those are a Y-wing and some at-st inspired walkers ^^, or at least they look a lot like them. Hmmm... I love Starwars...
Good drawings as usual, nor real crit's there I like m all. But you've showed another beauty, that environmental speedpaint is looking good, try some more of those, or try fleshing out that idea some more by doing different paints of the some city.

I'd love to see those.

Keep it up!

[GweNdZ]

Your character designs are very creative Good work on your selfportraits
