Awesome castles!

^ Agreed! Love the energy in that last castle sketch man.

Alexson - Cheers dude, gotta flesh them out at some point, hopefully they'll still work

[BenFlores]

youve done so much awesome work since the last time i was here :) you always have a good idea for the spit paints. dont forget to keep exploring outside your comfort zones too. i dont know if youve ever seen the craig mullins painting demo but he had a good point about how he started on pieces completely differently just to explore and get a different product at the end of everything while also having a solid work flow you can fall back on. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RW0_y6-l_Js
and i loved this one. the composition and mood are great

[JakeB]

BenFlores- Cheers man. Ah no I haven't I'll check that out. I so don't have a solid workflow lol, need to get on that ;). Yeah, that one was a study, but thanks lol :) The colours were pretty nice right?

Another sketch

[MrFrenik]

Good work, man. When I have trouble coming up with something to work on, that usually just puts me in study mode until I get an idea or feel inspired to do something. As long as you're working, you're golden.

[JakeB]

MrFrenik - Good shout, I've been neglecting recently. I started some yesterday, having a lot of fun with these. Cheers dude :).

Character Portrait from imagination

[kerm]

Rockwell study really rocks! I mean most of your work is really nice, you even rendered face from imagination quite neat. But colors, accuracy and brushwork from the Rockwell study really "struck" me.

[Driesty]

nice work man, youre really pushing, i need to get to your level of work

[SamPeterson]

Awesome man, you're really putting out a lot of work. Definitely seeing the improvement from the first few pages. Also seem to be producing more imaginative work since the beginning which is great. Keep it up!

[Zesiul]

Can't believe how much you've come along in such a short amount of time! Really impressive. Makes me feel very very lazy!

[JakeB]

Passed 3200 Hours Here

Kerm - Cheers dude, love Rockwell's brushwork. Such a massive fan of his work. I appreciate it man, thanks.

Driesty - Thank you :)

Sam Peterson - Yeah I struggled to get into imaginative work in the beginning, and now I feel like I'm neglecting studies a bit. Oops. Cheers though man :)

Zesiul - Haha, I don't know about that man. Your stuff's coming on leaps and bounds :). Thanks though :)
