Miles' sketchbook- D:

[Spaggen]

Wow, I'm glad for you man. I've been looking through your whole sketchbook and I must say that you really deserved it. You got talent!

Keep 'em coming. Your latest drawing and digi looks superb!

[Untouched24]

Congrats bro, that must be really cool and rewarding to see your work like that. Also, the new WIP looks good.

[Dished]

sweeet stuff dude! congrats on the imaginefx feature

[donalfall]

ImagineFX! Nice appearance. Looking forward to getting my copy now.

[Timmy]

Good job! Keep on

[archipelago]

hey man! congrats again for the magazine exposure Wesleys words are true indeed!

as for the wip, the eyes are not lining up properly, I think the left (our left) eye needs to come down a little bit, and possibly the right eye up a bit. Also, when lining the eyes up relative to the mouth, make sure you get a slight contraposto going on between them, as that is present in most people (make it very subtle though ofcourse!). you already have this going on a little bit, but the eyes are still off.

She could also do with a bit more hair on the sides of the head as well in my opinion. and the colorbone could be a lot subtler, and the sternocleidomastoid muscles need to connect to the end bumps of the colorbone in a special way (look at some refs)

The colors are looking ace though man! I am looking forward to seeing it finished.

keep it up!

the w.i.p looks fantastic man

and congrats on the feature i can't wait to see it in front of me when i'll get it the mail

[nooSens]

Gratz again for ImagineFX ! Continue, again, again !

[Peetaer]

I have the christmas issue and i just looked at and your stuff wasn't in it. wtf? i live in the u.s.a. maybe we get a slightly different version here. did yours also come with andrew jones poster and have concept art from district 9 in it?

[Miles_]

RThanks for all the encouragement! Its really nice to here from you guys. Archipelago, thanks for the solid tips, really helpful, working on it right now. Just to answer Peetar's question, people outside of the UK won't get the issue I'm in (issue 51) for another month .

Sorry I don't have time to reply properly, I hate to look like a dick. Just know I read everything and am really really grateful.



A quick personal plug, I've got a new blog up and running, to serve as a kind of web-site, feel free to check it out. http://miles-art.blogspot.com/


For now though, some more commisioned work




Aaaand some ink and bleach fun. turns out bleach turns ink orange, makes for some fun effects. This was really quick to make as well, around half an hour.

[Enydimon]

Congrats on the magazine.

Something about the leg looks odd on the commissioned piece. The face looks a tad skewered as well, but nice work.

[Krato]

[BabysDevilWare]

Wow man 84 pages makes a man into a hero. Congrats man!! Keep that shizzle comming!!

[VirgL]

hey miles. went back a couple of months, looks like the hard work paid off, wish i had that will at your age. The amount of studies you did is really giving me a good kick in the ass.The sp with the hands in foreground is really something.
No idea why you still got 4 starts bu lets try to fix that.

[teapo]

omfg grats on the IFX feature!! you're really motivating me right now GGGAAAHHH~ keep it up miles!!!

[jordyskateboardy]

WHUUUT! that ink thingy. Is like super awesome lol! It's really good man i really love it! Fuck i'm in just in love with you i guess.

[oren90]

got the mag in my hands after i got it in the mail a couple of days ago and seen the feature and it looks fantastic so congrats again

second in the commissioned piece he looks like he is going to fall the balance is a bit off but still it looks great nice work with the colors and the tones
looking forward to see some more of your art

[Bombur]

Milesy, how's it going with the WIP on the last page, the one with the big blue eyes. That thing was gorgeous man. I hope to see it finished sometime

[Rafal Dorsz]

Wow, nice book man, great progress from the beginning! I didn't have time to look through it all today, so I just checked every tenth page, but I'll definitely have a closer look tomorrow.

Keep up the great work.

[Miles_]

Thanks everyone! Krato, I get what you mean about the glare being obnovious. I was just playing about with new ways of presenting those characters, and think I probably overdid it. the client seemed to like it though, and I guess thats the most important thing.

So for now, just an update on the last W.I.P

Thanks!

[Strassenpenner08]

wow i didnt take a look in here a long time .... but only thing i can say .. WOW !! awesome as always ..... your update is amazing the blood effect in the face looks pretty good
nice painting technique

respect ^^

keep on

[Krato]

well if the client thats all that matters! on the last one work with the shoulder armor, im sorta confused by how the fire's light is hitting her face, since its behind her, and maybe theres some to the side of her, shouldn't the shoulder armor be interfering with the light? Either way, its a wip and a cool piece, and how the lights hitting could pass without notice easily.. work on them shoulder pads though, the design looks sorta boring.

[Jamie Romoser]

lookin good! what canvas size do you work in?

[jatherip]

wip is really nice, but if the shadows were this sharp, the object that causes it had to be like...10 inches away? the way it is now it would only work if the lightsource was a tiny dot.

[Grafguy]

congratz with your feature in IFX, great work

[StolenSky]

Loving the WIP! Her eyes totally draw me in! I went out and bought the issue of IFX, congratulations! = )

[Mohzart]

Ive seen your work in this months Imagine FX's issue and was in disbelief that youre only 16 Bravo man. I was still a noob when I was 16!

Im liking the new updates! keep them coming! and youre quite the inspiration.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

I think this last piece would be well of trying to keep at two light sources, as you only have one protagonist in the image. The way it is now, the light falling on the face is warm, and therefore cancels out the light coming from the lower right. Also, you might want to try and use bolder brush strokes.

[oren90]

that's a great looking w.i.p i only have but one suggestion her left eye looks a bit too yellow greenish compared to the rest of the face and also a bit too dark if what i think you tried to do is to compliment the reddish tones of the picture by putting some yellowish green in it i would go with a more subtle color to complement the red and orange tones in this one.
overall it looks fantastic and i eager it all finished

[MattGamer]

good work! ;]
