A bit of a fan art crazy the last week or so :3

Had to regurgitate this one as well:

Nice one James. You keep progressing steadly, if You keep the pace, You'll become a great illustrator very soon.

As for nitpicking - Goku's left palm is incorrect and it seems You still have a little problem with contrast (it might be monitor thing, do You work on Cintiq?).

Anyway, keep it up!

@Piotr - thanks dude! It's very good to hear that, you're too kind :D

I don't understand your critique. His palm is not showing, that is the back of his hand. If it doesn't read that way, I guess I've failed :(

Anyway, here is some quick sketch poop I did to unwind a bit. It was fun.

@James: I'm sorry buddy, I think it's a translation problem (I'm not english) english words concerning some anatomy stuff often confuse me, since not always I can translate them directly. Apologies. What I meant, I guess is that his hand is not perfect.

I am obviously being very nitpicky here, but I believe receiving critique (even bad) can be benefitial. So I give what I can, and tell what I'm able notice.

Here is a fast paintover I did. I hope, You'll know what I meant. I apologise if it's not apparent, if so I'll try to explain it in words (which would be probably way harder for me :P)

I see it now, thanks for the feedback. Good catch!

Something new I'm noodling.

That Goku man! Ahhh, so good.

Here's my latest personal illo.


Here is some client work I recently put on my blog (www.jameszapata.com):





And here is a little something I watched the great Greg Manchess paint live at my school a few weeks ago.

Okay, so I wasn't happy with my last illustration. I went ahead and updated it. I don't normally do this but now I hate it less.

Here is some poop I pooped out on livestream yesterday. Come hang out, sometime: www.livestream.com/jamesart
