Pnate's Almost Daily Sketchbook

[pnate]

Hey guys!  Apologies for disappearing, I've been taking on lots of freelance these days and been really busy.  I really haven't had time in a while to participate in the challenges or hang out here, so that's my bad.  By the way, I stopped doing the revolver since the last few challenges didn't have any participants.  Is there anyone who still wants to do it, and is there anyone who would want to step in in helping run it?  Although, thanks to everyone who did participate up to this point.  At least some of us got some neat portfolio pieces from the experience :)

A shot of me in my workspace:


Lyraina - To answer your question from way back when, it is easier to get precision when I do line drawings first, since I will figure out all the design stuff at that stage and then from that point, it's just a render fest.  Going straight to paint is a lot more fun IMO but it's harder to work out a design for me.  Like if I'm doing client work I pretty much always do line drawings first, especially since they want to see the first sketch usually.

Thanks a lot Cyprinus!

Meat- You are uber improving too <3  But thanks mannnn

Jaik - Same to you!  Been really a fan of your latest updates, keep it up!  I don't really have the time you speak of hehe as my post here illustrates :( 

Thanks Jeremy!!  

Hey Renato!  That really is true, I can't see much difference at all and every piece I end up hating haha I guess that's the case with everyone, like you said.  Appreciate you stopping by and hope your stuff is going well too.

Rick - No problem at all man.  And I hope you find a studio soon.  It is troublesome and I feel for those in different countries where maybe game studios aren't really around.  Have you ever thought about moving?  That's what Rafa is doing, working until Blizzard picks him up and then moving over here.



My first banner!  A good reminder of why I'm not a graphic designer.  But the client liked it, so it's all good.




Been working for Ulisses Spiele, a German pen and paper company, since last month and they've been really awesome to work with.  Some characters from last month they told me I could post:
