jake b - Thanks dude! Yeah I took a leaf out of your book and tackled something out of the comfort zone, so the studies came in useful. Even if I ended up doing about 30 of them to try and get the knowledge to sink in lol :p
jonhop - Thanks man, and yeah i agree, the dagger community is awesome. Theres no way I would have got to where I am now without it. I can't imagine how people managed it 100s of years ago lol.
Cool vid too dude, i love those motivational videos. Thanks again for stopping by man, and for sharing your thoughts and kind words ;)
Craig Paton - That's interesting dude, at the mo i'm not really getting any freelance stuff but when I do it's something I will defiantly look into. My crappy day job which I do 2-4 times a week is what barely keeps me alive at the mo and that's without any rent bills, so regardless of how much it pisses me off I can't take that jump yet into self employment yet, though I will one day soon (hopefully lol) Thanks again for your comment mate, bills are a pain in the ass :p and your kind words are appreciated.
EduardoGaray - Thanks again for the crits dude! I tried to make some amendments as you suggested, though I'm not too sure if I made that much of a difference :p After a while your eye gets used to a piece and it's hard to spot flaws and stuff I guess. The biggest struggle in this piece was the atmospheric perspective and value contrast which I fought a ton over, I still don't think I really got it right lol. I'll try hader in my next piece, thanks again mate, always love your crits and support.
MrFrenik - Thanks man, i'm glad you think so. Yeah this one was pretty tough to get right and I still think theres improvements to be made, but i'll hopefully address them in future pieces ;) Cheers again dude.
Archreux - Thanks mate, yeah sketching is fun, especially when your tired after work. It's a great way of warming up and coolin down before bed too. Glad you like um man, thanks for your comment.
mateusrocha - Cheeers man, yeah i'm a thieving bastard dude, if you make some cool shit I want to know how you did it and apply it to my own stuff lol :D And mike Is such a beast, I love that guys stuff. Original inspiration came from monkeybread - http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-759-page-6.html for those hard brush pieces, then they just became too fun and there great for loosing up. Ive seen Dave's too, there super awesome. I love that guys stuff too lol...
