Thanks Eduardo! The bulldog is a statuette my father brought home :p I'm using it for my studies nowadays :)

Hello! I'm back with some sketches. I've been kind of shying away from painting while I'm reading Color and Light by Gurney but you can expect some new paintings coming soon! Please do comment !

[Torres]

Hi guys, I'm back! I've been working on a concept for an exiled tribe called Alcateia. They are expert hunters and worship the moon.
Hope you like it , I'll keep developing them as time goes on. Cheers!

I wish I did though, just for the environment it would provide.
As for online courses... none yet, any you'd recommend?

if you have the money theres the CGMA classes
the scholism classes
the http://www.conceptdesignacad.com/
Concept design acad
i think that ones an acual school idk

but yh not for everyone but some ppl have been helped tremendously by online classes

brotherostavia on here did paul christophers class on industral design which was highly recommended by trevor claxton, and he really improved his design sense.

the trouble with alot of those online classes is that most of them cater to the process of that artist.
so unless you draw the same subject matter or you want to emulate their process for self betterment
they can be quiet useless

they dont spend much time on teaching the fundermentals but they focus on the artisits process for creating the final image and it makes sense. the artist dosent study anatomy before he paints his character, hes already done that years ago. so the problem arises that alot of younger beginners just learn high level tricks before learning the basic stuff.

so go for the foundational classes

micheal hamptons anatomy classes on cgmw

scott robertsons matte surface rendering dvds


thats a good place to start

there torrents for those floating around out there if you dont have the money to buy them
keeping it real, i did

use the internet, goggle shit and be a sponge.

happy painting man :)

Hi guys! It's been a while but I'm back with new art from my company's new Android game Depths! We are trying to reach international markets so it would awesome if you decided to download the game and try it out! After all, it's free! :D

Either way, hope you like the work and I wish a good 2014!
