StardustLarva - Thanks for the feedback, it defiantly helped

JakeB - Thanks dude, yeah I took your advice and tried to push the atmosphere, a good decision. Worked on the hand even more though, I think its way better now :p

--------------------

Aight so bit of a weird week, though thinking back on it not really a reason. I guess i got a bit lazy after finishing that piece. Anyway here's the stuff, I should really bother to shrink them cause they're so bad but im trying my had at really fast stuff.


Some Jiro sushi studies - 30 mins



Quick speedpaint - 30mins



Random thumbs for new illustrations i probably won't do




Portrait trying to see how far i could go with no reference (not too fond of the result)



Final of that guy from last week, I'm pretty happy with it for now, other than how long it took me to do. Need to get faster or better, not sure which way to head.



Was really experimenting with color after doing that piece because I wanted to move away from how i just use purple green gold complementary color schemes. But I found the only other options seem to be teal orange with is overdone, and red green, which just makes it look like Christmas. Probably just have to move away from complementary schemes, but then I feel like you can't have these really strong colors in big blocks of the comp, which I am fond of. Oh well, it was fun messing around.

I posted about my mentorship thing here - http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-5088.html . I am going to a workshop out of state next week for a week, so I'll won't be able to actually start it till next month, but that's probably a decent time for people to apply.

I'm out, I think you're awesome!
