Almooost done, only the face, some rendering and bg.
I'm also working on a super secret thing that I can't post yet (oh god that sound professional).

[Kamiru]

Finished the secret project, maybe I'll post it later!


Testing out SAI because I want to draw ponies (no just kidding, I like the smooth look).

[Kamiru]

Here is the update, I played a lot of dwarf fortress lately, so I haven't drawn a lot, aaarrhhgggg:


Teen challenge.


Dorf.


Dude.

[Egbu]

Wow Kam you are really working hard, one thing I would say is tone down the use of motion blur a bit, but apart from that keep it up :D

[Kamiru]

Thanks Miles! I know, I always use too much :p. "juuust a blur this a liiitle bit..." *20 minutes later* "maybe I used a bit to much hmmm*

[Kamiru]

WIP, my "thumb" for the Team challenge I'm doing with Rockonguy and egbu (MilesE).

[Kamiru]

Team challenge "sketch ZERO ZERO ONE!" the official title is: "Woman and stuff".


Team challenge "sketch ZERO ZERO TWO!" the official title is: "Same woman, different stuff".


Worm thing I never finished.


More team challenge stuff.

Also, I feel like one of my first paintings, the Medusa head thing is still my best work. The colors are like 200% better than the colors I use now. I really want to get back into starting with color... ;_;

[Kamiru]

Wiiip.
Experimenting with the golden ratio, and I wanna add a bg:

[Kamiru]

Didn't [post for two weeks because of holiday, I didn't really draw much, but I did some pencil sketches (which is I lost).

Anyways, here is an alternate version of "dude with backpack":


And here us an update version of "grill":

Nice Kamiru! You're already a ton better than you were a couple months ago. Keep doin what you're doin.

[Kamiru]

I'm gonna lifestream for a few hours I guess: http://www.livestream.com/kam1ru

Oh and thank you Dennis!

[JerryActric]

the colours in the campfire piece and enviorments are top notch :D !

[gen5]

wow, nice ratio planning!

[Jonesoda]

Hey nice work - But I'm noticing some stuff that looks too blurry, I think your work would benefit from the use of more harder edges perhaps. anyway keep at it!

[ramalooke]

I've always like this messy style whit digital feel to it. But prehaps spend more time on finishing stuff. It's always benefitial to give your piece new quality

[Kamiru]

Whoa, thanks for all the comments!

Thanks, JerryActric! It was for the teen challenge on CA, the "focus" of the challenge was mood or color iirc.

Thank you, Jonesoda! Yeah I always go a bit over the top with blur filter, I try using less blur filters in my newer work.

I will, ramalooke, I'm still planing on finishing the jungle girl and some other portfolio pieces!



Anyways here is mah work

Study


And I also "finished" the girl with the weird hair, It's in color, but I think I'm gonna revert it to black and white... I'm not gonna post it yet.

[DK]

That last one came out pretty nice Kamiru. I agree with some of the others about using a hard brush for some hard edges. You should mostly be using hard brushes in the very beginning of a painting and adding in any softness near the end. Would be cool to see you experiment with only hard brushes for a while just to get a hold of it.
