i did some analog stuff i will post soon and also worked on azura.

Oh yes :D Try killing the super cold blues and the cold yellow in the background and also lower the contrast on the clouds overall, I think it will give it more depth.
Keep it up man, I'm really liking where this goes!

@iCi: thanks for the crits on the background, I think it works better now

only minor tweaks this time, I feel like I am running out of ideas how to better the image. maybe I am just too tired right now

just messing around, trying to control light and color.

this was also based on an assignment from "advanced lighting" by Sam Nielson, he is a genius.

pages from my sketchbook

some ink stuff since it is ink-tober http://mrjakeparker.com/2013/09/30/inktober-2013/ and some water color

[Madzia]

Watercolors are hard, specially for me. I'm use do paint from dark to light in digital and with watercolors it's reversed. I found these Waterbrushs great for painting outdoor http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pentel-Aquash-Wa...002JIN2Q0/ maybe will interest you :)

Hey Madzia,

thanks for the tip, I actually already use that brush ^^ I really like it. Also I like your work. Nice shapes and colors :)

Here is today's inktober picture. I dont know why, but bird-knights just seem cool to me.

yesterdays and today Inktober picture and a still life. I had to invent the candle a bit do to it burning down while being painted and hence changing its form.

hope you like it

Hey guys,

I am trying to use new techniques and did a 1,5h speedy creature where I used phototextures. It was a ton of fun. What is with me and mutated dudes, though ... :)

also some more inktober fun.

the blue monsters are for a game I work on in my freetime.

Hope you like it

Wow, it has been ages since I posted for the last time. I hope I haven't offended anyone (if this gets read anyway ^^). Below are all the inktober Drawings, I hope you like them. At some point it became more of a chore to keep up with it, than it was fun, but it was a really cool lesson. I feel that some designs are stronger than other ones, which is totally natural I guess.

It was super interesting to see how bad my gut feeling was at the beginning of a drawing sometimes and then it turned out better than I feared.

Also another thing happened: I got contacted to color some lineart for a card game, which will eventually be put on a crowd-funding-campaign. I am really exiting how it turns out, all I can do is doing my best to make the card-art as appealling as possible. It is great to feel that all the studying turned out to help me get noticed.

So for now the drawings are all I can show, but I am sure that in the near future, there will be more to see.

Cheers,
Flo

I am currently working on my serious game, painting the food. So much fun working with 100% opacity and the hard round with size jitter.

Hope you guys like it

hand studies

[Flo]

I tried something I saw on Paul Richards Autodestruct blog.

Hier takes random shape and breaks it up into several designs. It is a lot of fun and yields some interesting new results.

Sargent Study: I have to learn sooo much!

life drawing session November

I tried some new materials.

[Flo]

been doing some anatomy studies after work. On the hands I tried to draw economical, using not to many strokes. :)

[Flo]

studies of feet.

the first one was from imagination after looking at a photo-ref for 1 minute

[Flo]

This is the newest mock-up for the game I am working on. I worked on the interface, the cursors, the teeth and on the bacteria. I can't wait until it is deployed and ready to be played.

Oh wow, your stuff is getting really stronger. It's been a while since I visited your sketchbook and now I'm like stunned. Keep putting out the good work and I'll try to visit more often. So I won't get an hearth attack next time ;) Cheers!
