Great studies! I think you've got quite the hand for creating complex and layered atmospheres, however they get a little flat sometimes. Maybe pop the value a little on both ends of the specturm, and play up some more saturation with the color. Overall really cool, keep burning the midnight oil.

Hey everyone here is my piece for the Bloodsports #8. I didn't get to do many studies for it either, it really makes a big difference when you can do studies and directly apply them to your work. It was good fun though.

This started as a quick sketch but I liked how it was going so I put a bit more time into it. Done over three nights after work, just for fun.

Woo this piece is looking realy nice; Since you have top down light on her, I think you need a light area on the tight that is lifted up, for the sake of consistency. But very nice piece man!

The one critique i have for so is that you should push your colors more.. Because even though your image is in color it still feel like it is black and white.. It is a lover image.. I added so colors to see if it could help.. It feels like your going for a darker scene but the character is blending into the background. I pumped up a few values.. Hope it helps.

Hi everyone

-M-rahsart, Thanks for taking the time to crit that piece, I totaly agree colour is my biggest weak point, I'm trying to stop my pieces looking so muddy and grey. Cheers

I just finished this commision and thought I'd post it up
