sorry for my absence, time sees to be speeding up and i seem to be getting less done. Heres some crap book, magazine, comic cover thing ive battling with for about 4 days. I did it for portfolio but in the end broke it so it'll probably just remain here.





I'll more stuff soon, maybe tomorrow

Heeey. Long time no see. Sorry about that. Live can be sometimes really absorbing. But! Look at you. You're really working hard. It's very inspiring when I look on the ammout of work you produce. As for small advice. Maybe try something new. Like change your process for a while, try different brushes etc. Just make fun and explore. Sometimes that's what we need to take our work to the next level. Cheers.

Love your characters, push push push

Awesome amounts of improvement going on here, keep it up!

Ramalooke - hey man, i'm glad you've been busy and not had much time to post, kinda shows your on the right path i guess ;) Thanks again for the advice, i'll try to apply what you mentioned. Peace

sorry for the lack of pencil stuff, it's a ball ache to upload, but heres the cover i worked on recently. It was alot of fun and you should go check out the authors site, the book sounds awesome. - http://muraldawn.com/

Abit of rough stuff, tryin some new stuff out

studys






brain farts...


20-30 mins warm up




aaaand new thing im workin on. Probably my toughest yet. 10 points and a coconut if you can tell what it's from p_____q

Abit more junk. Goin through that faze again of self worthlessness and aggravation again, painting is tough. It makes it even harder when you know your doing something blindingly wrong but you can't figure out what it is. It's really frustrating O___0

Anyways, enough whinging, heres some shiiiit
studys










sketches/ practice









and another wip, finding it tough to find the motivation to see this one through, the love has died. We'll see
