I see tf2 all up in this shi-! (ﾉ´ｰ`)ﾉ
Such awesome

I'm gonna write some stuff here so you have it in here rather than le Skype

So ya, great stuff taking on monkeybread's feesback on thumbs, I can see the improvement there!
My feedback to help improve drawing would be to remember not to just draw the contour of a figure, object, etc. This is where form and structure studies come into play - I've probably said this before (in which case sorry :3) but its super important! Everything in the world is made up of a few popular geometric shapes, sphere, cube, cylinder, cone, you name it - as practise, it helps a lot to warm up, sketching forms like these. As you're doing so, you're gonna want to try and see through the forms. For now, itd be more valuable if you had a couple of models of these objects, then eventually work from your imagination doing the same kind of exercise ~

Then you know, move onto more complex, asymmetrical objects like treadmills and whatnot haha but yeah being able to see through objects... To visualise what an object looks like on its blind side is invaluable :)

Examples of how master artists did this in their anatomy drawings can be found in http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0823014010...ot_redir=1 and http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0823002810..._aw_sims_1
Great books if you can get a hold of em, try to analyse the simple shapes they use to create such complexity in their figures

Hope this helps at least a bit, talk to you after brekky!

Hey guys , well its been QUITE a while , happy new years and i hope ya all had a good christmas .
Yet again monkeybread issued me a challenge , to make 30 quick pose sketches in 30 days , kinda failed this one mostly cause i picked the worst time to pick up Dragon age inquisition .
So this is what ive made of those .
















Sorry for the shitty quality , but i dont want to post up HUGE pictures again , here click this link so you can get a closer view if you want to.http://imgur.com/7i8fU6P&zwkGPyq&nW7lL7u&QSrSgAU&BFZ3thn&PvwzolV&phYvdsv&SSWIpje&dfYsibK&ZZd7ibU&7SAfxNn&oDjxJ8A&v0ECSGv&oSD5Bq5&4MKXE7d&5anLpMs#0

WOoooooo....been a while my friends , been a while .

I hesitate to post constant updates cause i think that big chunks of updates makes it easier to tel lweather or not ive made any progress . But whatever , here for your judgeing and feedback... the PICTHAS!!!


First off the concept images i did for the COTW Giant event a while ago , had a lot of fun with this one
so first i studied some cat images



Then i start moveing up to try and make the charchter




At this point im trying to figure out clotheing that isnt just pure tribal wear and makes it look a bit more interesting








Eventually the body changed into a female



Needed painting practice so i did these





I still want to make this image better but i FUCKIN hate shadows :C


OKAY so now that ive flooded yer eyes wit hthe cat ladies , lets go with some other stuff shall we ?
If any of you guys know the SuperBestFriends , i enjoy doing fan art of them , then i saw them play this game with this sick art called Darkest Dungeon and thus these were born.







This one was a excersize in Logo design , i like to think im okay at it


A silly doodle based of a Kaiju Combat charchter

Shitty practice




Ive been trying my hand at fast gestures recently did 2 pages of 10-15 and 2 pages of 1 minute ones






And this last shitty image i did that i dont think ive posted yet i dunno


So yeah if youve taken a look at all of these heres a link where you can look at em upclose if ya want to , feedback as per usual is always appreciated
