Othrandir's sketchbook

[Othrandir]

Dennis Kutsenko - Thanks , man . Yeah I realized the whole thing turned out waaaay too dark.I think I sorta fixed it though :)

Ursula - hehe , thanks! :)



first some sketches ( from worst to best in my opinion )

some kind of a sea creature...I dunno , I was really bored an tired , although I guess that's not an excuse...Amazing people like Kekai would do better shit when they are bored an tired...so skill skill skill:D



all from mind





oh yeah , again please excuse the quality of the pics...photocamera :\

a digi sketch - me and [URL="http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=244640"]Victoria[/URL] were doing quick 20 min sketches together and for this one we had to draw our self as the opposite sex...



a dragon born from a 20min sketch, I put in an hour more after that



environment speedy thumbnails - trying to get my colors right and also I was really thinking about getting the image to read without too much details in , I think that's an essential skill in painting



and I think I may be done with the swamp guy... OI call it : " Guy in swamp "

[Jonesoda]

The lighting of guy in the swamp is great, and I really like those environments as well - the ships on the ocean especially.

[ramalooke]

Goood stuff lately. Like it! <click>

[Othrandir]

Jonesoda - Thanks a lot man :) Yeah , I kinda like the one with the ships the most two.More like the concept , I think the execution was the weakest one though.

ramalooke - thanks , man and aam what? Should I like something? :D



first watercolor sketch I've done since early childhood. Needless to say I suck awesomely at it , but it was super fun and soooooooooo much different than photoshop :D



and something for the fitness freaks :D



a warm up I did this morning , probably about an hour to looooosen up .God it's so fun to just paint without any kind of thinking :D The only thing I was thinking about is that it should read like some kind of a spaceship when in smaller size.




something I'm working on at the moment, so much stuff to figure out and fix , but I'm learning a ton...it's AWESOME :D

[EduardoGaray]

hey the monkey and the spaceship experiment are great, the space ship have a great mood.
I would like to see it more defined.

[Othrandir]

Progress on that last wip



aaaand some pencils ( All from imagination , literally , the turtle sorta just came out :D The weird thing is that I wasn't thinking about TMNT at all :D)

[Othrandir]

riiight ... some new stuff ( only digital ) really don't have the nerve or the time to scan and photograph sketches and studies right now :D









this is a sketch that I tried to finish in three different ways...bleh none of them is very original...damn

Oooh, lots of good work Othandir. Those LOTR screenshot studies look nice!

[Othrandir]

Dennis Kutsenko - Heh , Thanks man. Glad you like it :)


soo , just to share today's stuff and leave , cuz I'm in a hurry :D

Ok , so first I did this horrible sketch , and I found myself disappointed again , because of my lack of knowledge and skillz.



After the realisation , I did some quick eye studies 5-7 minutes each

















Then I did some color studies - each one is around 20 minutes except for the first one which is 30







bleh , I'm starting school again tomorrow... damn I wasted my summer again :(

[gen5]

wow, that piece with of the forest in that last post is spot on!
nice work so far .

[Othrandir]

gen5 - Thanks , man!! :)



Ok , so I guess it's time to upload some actual sketchbook stuff too :D...

hmm
some anatomy stuff ( all from mind except for 5-10 from the feet and the hands ( the 5-10 are from Bumskee's sketches..man that guy's awesome!! :O ) )







trying to get things correct...evidently horrible job so far...









30 sec poses - I haven't done them in a while...woooow do i suck at them :D:DD it's almost funny :D

[DK]

Ah, so much good stuff! Keep pushin through Othrandir!

[Othrandir]

Dennis - hehe Thanks , man!! I'm definitely trying to! :)





okaaay , so it's time for the super crappy post of the page!! After all there HAS to be a crappy post on a page , right?? :D

pencil craps ( I actually really enjoyed doing the creatures )





aand some digi sketches. First one is from this morning very early and I was suuuper sleepy ( at least that's my excuse of why it's so bad haha :D )



1 hour thing right when I got back from school... ( probably even less than 1 hour , I dunno , I was paying more attention to the Brad Rigney's old Crimson Daggers interview from 2009 ... DAMN that guy's inspiring!! :D )



random 15 minute shit :D




:))))

[Othrandir]

so here's today stuff. Waaay too little for the free time I had...damn me and my lazy ass...


Here's some sketchbook shit , all from imagination ( please , excuse the horrible quality )





15 minute photo studies ( guess where I learned that from :D:D )







2 doodles



tried to give this guy sort of a tired look...guess I failed pretty hard :D




and an update on that already so oooold painting :D





P.S. Woohoow!! hitting 3000 views!! I know it's very shallow to being happy for such a thing , but what can I say? I like attention without it being actually annoying or disturbing :D:D

[Othrandir]

Time to share today's ventures :D I got up at 11 o' clock , so I lost half my day. Too bad , although I think I kinda made up for it...

a 40 minute doodle



random creepy girl from imagination



15 minute studies again ( turns out they help a lot!! :O )

Today , I started a Bouguereau study too... damn was that guy good :X I'll be lucky if I even come close to his colors...
