Eddy´s Sketchbook

[EduardoGaray]

Hey there! i´m not dead! :)
So sorry for not updating this thing earlier, sometimes life doesnt give you a break.

Ignatz: Thanks! yeah, i could still change some things, but i´m not going to touch that illustration anymore. Time to move forward onto the next challenge. :)

BenFlores: Thanks a lot Ben! yeah, i love doing facial expressions, i really want to get better at that haha.

missimoinsane: You are just too kind! :) i´m really glad you like it.

Samszym: thank you! :D your comments are always so useful man, i will definitely think twice before doing a cropping like that, and yeah, textures! textures are something i´m only beggining to understand, and truth is i wasnt feeling confident enough to try texturing the cloth. But damn, next time i will try to give proper texture to every material.

Tygerson: Whoa, thanks a lot! yeah i truly enjoyed adapting the original anime armor to reality, and the cloth was very entertaining to paint too. But pretty exhausting too.
As for the old guy, he isnt Locke (but i can totally see some resemblance now!) but the original James Bond, Sean Connery haha.

ramalooke: aw yeah man! i really glad you like it. Also, Marko djurdjevic is crazy, crazy good. Before him, i´m just dust in the air. xD

MrFrenik: thanks mate! it is exactly what you said, i´m already sketching ideas and planning my next move. :)

And now, the update itself! damn, i wanted to update this earlier but i´m still dealing with those changes in my life i mentioned before and some freelance stuff too.
Did you guys know a card game named Romance of the nine empires? i´m working again on that game, i believe the base game will be out in the United States very soon.

Here is a quick gesture sketch i did last week, trying to make things simple. Yoji Shinkawa inspired.



Because i´m so tired of doing fanart, these days i´m working only on my personal project.
So here is some concept stuff for the two protagonists.

First a couple of sketches:







And some concepts i did with this software i have, Clip Paint Studio. (A review is coming)





Aaand finally, since its almost october i was planning to redo this artwork: http://eduardogaray.deviantart.com/art/C...-331714779

As i really want to see how much i ve improved this year.

I will probably do the two versions, with full stealth suit and the topless one.
And i´m going to do a topless version because... ??
Because i think i have an awesome idea involving exposed skin, but i´m not sure yet haha.

If you want to know the inspiration behind this new illustration, have you daggers played Metal gear solid 3? if thats the case, do you remember the battle with The Sorrow? the river...? :)
