Solid lines! Awesome works! :D

[ImSkeptical]

Awesome stuffs! My favorite though is those stylized faces you got going in your latest post, super sick. Can't wait to see more :D !

[Elaeis]

hey guys! thanks Brobossa and Imskeptical!

I've been feeling a little down this week; always nice to read you comments :)

[mat04art]

Wow! Just wow! I love your choice of colors and your brushstroke! Great stuff! Keep it up!

[Kaffer]

Man, the lizard sketch and the portrait are killing it.. The illustration is nice too, though something might be missing.. how about something in the extreme foreground? Maybe a bit of voyeur-like feeling?... :)

[Elaeis]

mat04art, Kaffer, thank you guys!!
Kaffer Thank you for your crit, I see what you mean :) I'm posing that illustration for now since I'm engaged on an online course atm, maybe I'll pick it up after that!

here's this week studies, and one of the maps I made for Sean Murray's world building seminar (first week)




because of all thoses horses on facebook haha




(it's an apposition of life and death, but I didn't wanted to go towards the "bad guys/good guys"; they just have very opposite cultures and that's what I want to develop) more on that later!

cheers!
