I like your style :D. Those geometric drawings are sexy, I need to do some more of those....

Anyway, the booty studies are bumpin' too. Lost my shit at the Lotus haha.

It will be nice to see you continue to harness that painting style and brush set. once you're able to improve more fundamental concepts like values and edges, that stuff is gonna be the next level of ace.

Seriously, that lotus painting is how I feel on a consistent basis about painting shit that makes me angry as hell. I know I couldn't be the only one, but it's great seeing everyone on the same page with that wonderful murderous rage underneath :D

Keep on truckin, I love it!

Thanks for the nice words, guys! Really means a lot!

Alright, here's the CHOW illustration for this week, I think it's about 99% done. Next: character sheet, then I'll go back to How to Render (ugh I don't wanna but it has to be done)

This is amazing!
Dude, your painting skills made a huge leap in these last posts imo! And your linework is so damn solid as always :pp

I feel like you got kind of lost on the CHOW painting, I personally like better the direction you were taking with the bandit and the lady in the background. I don't really know what this character is, but the painting tells me that she's some form of lake justice that emerged to save the poor lady!

Your final image kind of tells me that this creature is kind of a lurker, and is backstabbing the man. Maybe because you've created a visual barrier between the creature and the man, so it seems to be hiding and/or taking him by surprise.

You also got the cranium a bit wrong... Knowing your art I can guess it's on purpose, but... it feels wrong.

Either way, you got a pretty amazing volume of work going, keep this up! And keep pushing! I'm a big fan of your stuff :'D

thanks for the crit! I really thought I nailed the story in my first image but i guess it still doesnt come across perfectly :D telling a story in a single image is the hardest thing I've tried so far with art. So many possibilities and 90% of them only work in your head.. I noticed that the head looked too large, too, but since the design is all about a lot of hair, I kept it as a kind of hair storage, like one of these huge aristocratic hairstyles. It feels so stupid that the image that I worked on for almost a week is worse than the one I slapped together in a couple hours xD but maybe it just got better from the mistakes I made and learned from in the first try. Keep pushing Rhasdra! Btw that girl on a bike you drew is super cute! So much energy, I love it! :D

Zooming out from the image, it's really tough to see what exactly is going on (I know you haven't gone into full rendering mode, yet, though.) I think the close up is better conveying what you want with this piece-- It's also interesting, how gentle she appears, but her 'innocent, soft, silky' hair coming up and weaving around the curious dude on the bridge. That's far more interesting. Just my thoughts on it-- Rhas totally got it out better than I, haha.

But, yeah, your work is definitely getting more solid, and you're really soaring with values. I am impressed, and kind of jealous. Grin

mostly drawing in my physical sketchbook this week, so not a lot of updates right now. made a photostudy with my self-made brushes :D changed the light and mood of the photo a little bit so i hope it became something with an implication of a little story (ref was pretty much wet t shirt porn)
