Eddy´s Sketchbook

[EduardoGaray]

Bookend: Many thanks! well this wasnt the most productive year ever, because of stuff, but thats over, and i'm not going to give up anytime soon. :)

Triggerpigking: sup mate! indeed its good to be back. Yeah deviantart isnt really the best place for feedback right? i still prefer a good old forum. That piece from imaginaton was more like an experiment to try some new brushes and tools in photoshop so i put some brushtrokes here and there just to try how they will look haha.

Cyprinus: hey there thanks! :D glad you like the new cover, i'm still not satisfied with it, will do another one sooner or later haha. About the last one sadly i didnt save the steps, but i started in black and white and then i added colors first with an overlay layer and a multiply one on top. I still struggle with values so i will try starting in grayscale more often from now on.
About tokyo ghoul, like i said to Nowio, the manga is good, not a master piece but really good nonetheless, i speacially like how rough and energic and creepy at times the art is.
The central theme of the story is pretty nice too, and it isnt explored in manga or anime often enough. (to live is to consume, so is living evil?)
Sorry for the rant, i like talking about manga way too much. xD


Oh and some things i did today.

Katawa shoujo readers will recognize her and this scene too. Saved the steps for this one, but i didnt add any explanation since it was just a little sketch and i didnt put too much thought into it either, i just started painting without thinking. No ref for this one, i admire those artists who can blend reality and anime for awesome results, i'm still far to achieve something like that but i will keep practicing, its just too fun!







And some silhouettes for the CHOW i really want to build a concept art portfolio focused on videogames, so this challenge was pretty convenient to start practicing.

Its supposed to be a barbarian/warrior santa from the frozen wastelands. (or a barbarian character from a game with a christmas themed armor set. xD)
