Jaik: yeah it was really difficult, smaller than expected, and have no brushes for that kind of scale. in the end he's too fat but I'm satisfied :P

I think its spelled khaleesi, wardy? Not sure :D

When someone draws cute boars, I subscribe. It's the rule.

Denikina, seems like a good rule :D

Here's some client work. I'd love to hear what you think :)
This was painted for a book with a female dwarf protagonist. All the features were specified, it was up to me to visualize it and make her look like a woman. It was a realllly fun challenge, and I'm glad she reads as a female despite the obvious obstacles! Here's a link to the author her site: http://dwarvenamazon.com/ :)

Lately I've found it hard to have tangible leaps of improvement, I guess I no longer get boosts from "randomly painting stuff". I feel like my colors and light are relatively solid, but my drawing ability and visual library is way behind.. soooooooo its time to take a page out of the book by Alex Negrea and do a million billion studies.

Starting with - animals. Felidae and canidae first! Many more to come.



Here's a first "test" after the sheet. Finally some real progress! If you had asked me to draw a large cat before doing the studies, it would've looked like a 5 year old drew it.

I call this one "belgium, yo"

Started with a photoplate :) super quick sketch. Very belgiumy, aside from the non-flat landscape.

[JordyLakiere]

Sheet two done!

More carnivores, ursidae & mustelidae! What groups should I do next? (carnivores still for now!)
Notes: every group of animals is just the same features rearranged. they are caricatures of themselves. Biggest variations are in the pelt/fur lenght and their patterns.

new sketch! :)

Would you mind a paintover of the frog painting? I have already done it, I just need to post the link. Good stuff btw

[JordyLakiere]

Gliger - of course! Please show me :) Paintovers are the bomb and critiques in general are very welcome
Thank you Corey!

That bear makes me laugh for some reason, I love it! I feel like that's exactly how my face looks when i've been painting all day. :D
