Your Alien studies always blow me away. Love em!

Great technique man. Keep it up!

Great studies! I think you've got quite the hand for creating complex and layered atmospheres, however they get a little flat sometimes. Maybe pop the value a little on both ends of the specturm, and play up some more saturation with the color. Overall really cool, keep burning the midnight oil.

Zesiul - Thanks man, i gotta do some more movie stills I always enjoy them and learn a lot. Cheers.

CoreyKLamb - Thanks, yea colour theory is my biggest area of weakness, i'm trying to work on improving it in each new piece. I see what you mean with the values too. Cheers

Such a great movie. Trying to improve on my colour theory and lighting.

Cheers

Hey everyone here is my piece for the Bloodsports #8. I didn't get to do many studies for it either, it really makes a big difference when you can do studies and directly apply them to your work. It was good fun though.


This started as a quick sketch but I liked how it was going so I put a bit more time into it. Done over three nights after work, just for fun.

[David Ogilvie]

-Kike Rdz thank I appreciate it.

Here's a new portfolio piece trying to push my usual dark lighting scheme.

Cheers

[Ursula Dorada]

Woo this piece is looking realy nice; Since you have top down light on her, I think you need a light area on the tight that is lifted up, for the sake of consistency. But very nice piece man!

[David Ogilvie]

Hi guys a couple of new portfolio pieces I did for the IFX risings stars comp. It's been a good motivator to produce some fresh work. Any crits or feedback and I love to hear them

Ursula Dorada- Thanks for the crit your totaly right, I missed that, I've fixed it now and it looks heaps better, so cheers :D

[M-rahsart]

The one critique i have for so is that you should push your colors more.. Because even though your image is in color it still feel like it is black and white.. It is a lover image.. I added so colors to see if it could help.. It feels like your going for a darker scene but the character is blending into the background. I pumped up a few values.. Hope it helps.

Hi everyone

-M-rahsart, Thanks for taking the time to crit that piece, I totaly agree colour is my biggest weak point, I'm trying to stop my pieces looking so muddy and grey. Cheers

I just finished this commision and thought I'd post it up
