Egbu - Cheers dude, glad you think so. Yeah, the spitpaintings are so much fun, 30 mins seems like a decent time limit because you can keep them loose without feeling shitty lol. They're fun :)

the last two are looking great man! love the rendering on both and especially the clouds on the quick one.

only crit i have is that the guy coming out of the door looks a little squished. cant wait to see more!


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2651/10,000 - JakeB - 08-29-2013

BenFlores - cheers dude, yeah those clouds were a lot of fun :). Hope I've fixed the dude, doesn't look quite as squished now. Maybe?


Had a long weekend visiting family, back to it this week though. :)

Jellyfish! :D

Nice studies man and this last piece is great. If anything, I'd make the cool/warm contrast on each part of the scene more pronounced, it would help reading the two different ambients/light sources.


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2651/10,000 - Jonas Jerde - 08-30-2013

Cool stuff, the point of view on that spider piece is awesome. I would like to see that one more finished. as for the last one, the forearm of the guy on the left looks a little short to me. Also His fingers on the door seem too separated... they kind of looked like bolts on the door at first. I don't know what kind of mood you wanted the guy on the right to have, but I would personally furrow his brows a bit and maybe squint his eyes a little. I think that would make things seem a little more intense. Just my opinion.


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2663/10,000 - JakeB - 08-30-2013

Sula - Yeah, I played around with that, but toned it down in the end. I'll try making it a bit more pronounced, I think you're right. And yeah, Jellyfish! So awesome :).

JJ Aaron - Yeah, I kinda liked how that came out, might revisit it at some point :) cheers. Haha, looking at it now, I agree with all those comments lol, I'll get to work fixing it today. Thanks dude :).

Character sketches

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2663/10,000 - Ignatz - 08-31-2013

Hey Jake. I like that last wip. My only crits are the anatomy of the hand on the left looks a little off. The lengths of the first joints look too long or maybe the knuckles aren't high enough. My second crit is that I think you could add some variety to the cliff skyline. I know they're a compositional tool, directing the eye, but I think they'd be more interesting if they were jagged or tree lined maybe. Right now they look a little too square. Also, maybe add a tiny bit more atmospheric perspective to them so the character really pops.


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2667/10,000 - JakeB - 08-31-2013

Ignatz - Cheers dude, thanks for the feedback, really good stuff. I'm planning on repainting the bg anyway, gonna go with some ruins or something, but I hadn't noticed the hand, and I think you're right about making the character pop. Thanks :).

Alrighty, couple of things today.

Tweaked this, calling it done now :)

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2667/10,000 - Art.ful - 09-01-2013

Hey dude, you got some sweet stuff in here!
I'm really into your sketches. May I ask what kind of brush you're using for those?


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2675/10,000 - JakeB - 09-01-2013

Art.ful - The black and white ones? I just this kinda scratchy oil brush I found on DA a while ago, can't seem to find it now though. If I find it again, I'll send you a link :) Sorry.


Alrighty, finished this piece off

RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2691/10,000 - DanBK - 09-04-2013

Oh man, seeing the process of the one in the last post is so cool, swear i just stared at that gif for a good couple of minutes :P
and the last one, looking at it now i think i like the dramatic lighting - makes it so... moody. mysterious.
KILLING IT!

You are killing it! Great job and congrats on passing 2700 mark.


RE: Jake Bullock - 10000 Hour Rule - 2709/10,000 - JonHop - 09-05-2013

Hey man, loving your gesture sketches, I can see your draftsmanship is getting a ton better and your grasp of colour since you began has come on leaps and bounds. My only crit of your last finished piece is that the sword is leading my eye off the canvas. Other than that great stuff! Keep it up!
