i think your digital works have a bit too much black and white used for shadows and highlights.
you can get very good shadow and highlights with less black and white :)
good stuff though.
the most recent pencils especially are awesome. good to see pencil renderings!
Thanks very much! I kinda grew up with that old fantasy vibe, so it does influence my style a bit :)
As for the digtals, I never use pure black and white, especially for shadows. For the last piece, I wanted to push the contrast a lot, but the shadows are on the blueish-violet side (dark and somewhat saturated) The only thing more or less white in the painting is the specular highlight in the middle eye on the wall.
I tried to push my pencil rendering a bit to the finished sidem but don´t get used to me posting only these in the future....takes about 3 times as long as my usual sketches :)
