Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Lyraina: Thanks! I want to push it more but have kind of run into a block as to what/how to? Like.. there are only so many times in the day, and everyone else can make it look more interesting.. Maybe I need to analyse a bunch of paintings. I have a feeling it has something to do with clouds and light/dark..
I completely agree with the colour thumbnailing. Thats a great idea and will definitely give it a try.

Last day of the month.. Not sure how I feel about September.. Maybe I should have worked more.. Though at least the weather is getting warmer and days are longer..

New portfolio piece: Commander Ironfist - Character from a book by Brent Weeks, probably my fav author. http://fav.me/d6o0ze1 for on devART :D Pretty happy with it, tried to push my hand rendering (weakest part).



Thumbs for Ramrock Illustration, followed by the one I chose with some colours in it. If there is another thumb that works better compositionally let me know! Or any other compositonal notes you may have I would love to hear them.






Character/race thing... I have been thinking about world building a lot (hence the course) trying to figure out how I would create a race without stealing too much from what is already established.. (I know, it looks like a tauren with a dogs head -___-)
