Eddy´s Sketchbook

Cyprinus: nope, its not pointless and not that long either haha yeah i think, the more you like a story, the more difficult it is to actually start working on it, because at least i think i wont be able to make it justice haha so i think, maybe when i get better...
I dont read too many new mangas either, the thing is, there are already waaay too many classic series to read and the new stuff isnt that great for the most part.
About the CHOW character i was about to pick the girl in the middle because i dont really like painting dudes, but xD but i guess in the end i will pick the first, to practice something different.
There is this artists who is imo one of the very best in that realism anime style, his name was Ilya kuvshinov, i think he is pretty famous right now.

Bookend: "almost pro" is being waay too kind haha, thanks! Also, the secret to start with a comic is simply to keep the ball rolling, just start. Think about a story you would love to hear and tell, basically is doing something you are passionate about, then write down a basic script and think how to translate that into pages and panels, the pictures will flow in your head.

Triggerpigking: i think i already recommended you Tokyo ghoul some time ago, well go read it anyway. xD
I personally enjoyed it alot. About the Rin nose, i too think that kind of nose is kinda cute, dunno why haha
About the styles, i think your (our) priority should be getting really good at realism, why? because thats the base, once you have that all sorts of stylizations become just a modification on that base you have.
Thats the primary reason why deviantart teens who only draw naruto fail so hard. (I know, i was one of them, when i was young and foolish)

And now for some update, i started a new personal project to get into video game concept art and stuff more, since i want to build a portfolio focused on videogames.

So, this project is like a redesign/spiritual successor of the now pretty much dead Advance wars franchise.
Think a turn based military strategy rpg.




I started doing some concepts of the infantry of each faction. Every faction has 3 technology levels, except the unplayable enemy faction which starts with much more advanced tech than you.












And i started sketching the first CO of the game, i call her stalin chan.
