Thanks man, that's great to hear! You're right, most of these are not even close to finish. When I make my next folio, I'll have to polish everything twice or it'll still be rough. Detailing is just so tedious D: The part when the idea is there and you have to sculpt the major forms out is what I love the most, so when it's just a study I usually stop right after that... Seems like I'll have to get really good at making nice marks & brushstrokes to make up for the skipped detailing phase :D

Haha, I have the exact same problem!  Grin  To take it to the next level, I like to have music, or more preferably, some type of talk on youtube, going on in the background so that I can keep focused, yet at the same time I don't get bored.

Also--  You were the one who recommended Scott Robertson, right? Grin

First update in 2016 :D didnt post for a long time, so here's a bunch. I started a personal project some time ago; these pencil sketches are sort of the pre-production for that. the ones with a little "x" next to them will be re-drawn in digital for fixing mistakes, streamlining, coloring and general polishing. The project will be a major part of my new folio so i'll make sure they look nice.

Nice design work. I love all the design.

About your last WIP, Awesome perspective but I have the feeling it´s a bit off on the guy. It feels like he wants to sit up, but I have the feeling is leaning slightly forward. I think his back is ok, but that the head is shifted forward. Maybe it helps :)

No dont quit it! try to push it to the most finished state you can, perhaps this is will be so out of your comfort zone you will earn even more!
