Sketching corner - malan - 01-28-2012
Hi people!
This is the first time I post up an online sketchbook, so I hope it goes well!
Looking forward for some serious feedback, and lots of learning!
So, let's start this thing with some recent studies.
Cheers Daggers! :)

I wanted to enter the Monster Hunter Bloodsports challenge, but I had no time to focus on my entry :(
But I will just post this really, really rough idea I had for the hunter.
Sorry for the ugly quality, but at least I wanted to have something done with this challenge.
The idea was to make a female hunter, based on mayan outfits but with some extra elements, but this was the only thing I could achieve...
Cheers!

Just a quick sketch of an idea that came to my head... still too rough.
Another rough idea... a pair of troll/demon brothers.
And a rendering practice... she's supposed to be a "space rockstar" or something like that...
All for now.
I hope to get some color sketches soon...
Cheers!

hey man,
welcome and such.
I like the sketches/thumbnails...loose but controlled.
The demon bros should get their own picture, it'd be cool to see what you're thinking in colors.
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 02-23-2012
Thanks JasonR! Actually I am thinking about making a full picture of them! :D I think I liked the overall idea of those two :)
And today's quick practice/doodle with colors. Focusing on quick rendering. :)
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 02-23-2012
Fooling around before sleep :)
Same focus as the last one.
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 03-06-2012
These two are a bit old, some school works. Around 2 years old, but felt like posting them anyway :)
And this was my first zbrush work, and it was for school too :D done last year.
And one from last week.
Playing around with a different style, and a cliché character type...
Just for fun :B
Cheers daggers!

Wow, nice variation of styles :p
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 03-27-2012
Thanks a lot Israel! :D
Sometimes I don't know if working with different styles is a good thing haha, I can't really find a personal style... :O
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 05-09-2012
Ok, just a quick update. Trying to keep this thread alive.
This time some thumbs for a viking/knight character practice.
Still doing different costume variations.
:)
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 05-10-2012
Study from today!
:D
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 05-12-2012
Another study.
Today trying a different approach in rendering, more focused on loose brush strokes.
Painter 12.

RE: Sketching corner - malan - 05-16-2012
New study.
This time I wasn't very happy with the result, but I'm posting it anyway. It should be good to have both succes and failure sketches around here :)
I always have symmetry problems when drawing/painting young faces D:

Duuude, that helmet looks awesome!!! And the girl too, keep it up!!! :D
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 05-17-2012
Hey thanks a lot Isra! :D
Ok, another study today! Also wanted to play a bit with the visual style. And faces still giving me problems.
:)
RE: Sketching corner - malan - 09-10-2012
Ok, some new updates after a long inactivity.
This time some more sketching. I focused on head concepts this time, and trying to get quick ideas using Painter's symmetry tool. Hope to get some feedback on them :)
Cheers Daggers!

Thanks a lot Laura! I will try to update this thing more frequently. :)

These are fantastic, lots of great shape in your characters, makes them very enticing. I like those old creature designs as well, did you do those with more traditional media? You should really go to town on more of these thumbnails as well :) try some multiple views, color, etc.
Hope to see more :)
