Well a while ago I made a statement saying I was no longer posting my work here for critiquing, and I still stand by that, but lately I decided maybe I should start back posting my work up, just so I can have a couple of places to go in case something happens, so here I am. You can stll see the thumbnails in the incomplete.

Incomplete renders
Story art

This is a semi rendered sketch of a frog in a storm, i will be fully rendering it in color pencil soon.

It is graphic animal, Flat space composition. I have no reason why it was the center of the page, and that is a mistake on my part.


these are just thumbnails i drew and then drew out to get a better feel for composition.



Character development
This is a incomplete sketched render











This was a incomplete character sketch for necromancer; beyond the abyss deadran.

Color layer 2

Well I still have a couple of layers to go now.

We knew you couldn't really stay away...you knew too
Welll, I'll give my brain blast on this.

I know you like to use a bunch of pencils, and I think I've said it before...but I'll say it again just to make sure. Use a nice 0.7 lead pencil and a good worn out white eraser. And continually practice more and more form of anatomy, because when it comes to your characters there always seems to be something off proportion, and I don't know if it's an anatomy issue, or a problem with perspective.

Now going individually I don't know what's going on with that first one lol, I can tell it's a frog guy holding a vine, and that it's just a sketch...so I won't say anything there.

On the second one, the lack of some details here and there makes me think a bit longer as to what's going on with the composition, all I know is that they're pulling on something, but what exactly? Is someone flying? The only guy that makes sense is the dude on the lower left. And that's cool because it actually seems like there's force and pull with his stance, not much though...so he must be Superman lol.

The third one honestly to me looks like a clown face...with his head on fire. And therefore reminds me of Sweet Tooth (Twisted Metal). Besides that, the face seems skewed to the right, if you drew a straight line right down the middle, you'd see that the features are not lining up correct, or maybe that's because you either took a picture of it or scanned it wrong?

The last one is my fave thus far. The clothing is looking pretty good, I like the way you make your cloth flow fluidly without making it really annoying. A few things that I'll nitpick at, is that the girls face is also skewed a tiny bit due to the nose being slightly off center. As for lighting and value and crap, I don't really see any so I can't crit it, although that would bring this to life a lot more..then again I'm practicing value and tone and shit myself right now so I can't say anything heh. Either way, just keep up the stuff, can't make any progress when you nobody's giving their thoughts, 'cause that's what moves the progress train.

>_> <_<...

Don't make me pull an assassin creed gunz!

@first one, The composition on it is off, I fully follow the rules of small medium and large when I started the thumbnail nor did I follow perspective.ultimately its a graphic which I will finish rendering, but I did not display what I was trying to properly.

@second, yea the lack of detail was because I wanted to mostly use silhouettes. I had no attention of fully rendering it, actually it have more detailed then originally planned. The are fighting a giant worm monster.

@third, yes I was thinking of all the different versions of sweet tooth when I was drawing it XD.

@Fourth, its a guy, that is deadran with his hood down and mask off (didn't tone his skin.) My instructor already told me I made the chin to round, which gave it a more feminine look.

Not of these pictures are anywhere near rendered sketches, and the only one that I am planning to render is the first one. Meaning the next upload of it will be much cleaner, with no open lines.

Edit; gunz I was wondering how would you like to work on a colab some time?

I found something i hate more then 3-D modeling! 3-D sculpting.


glass 2.0


figure sketches

3-D sculpting is great, what're you talking about. Nice renders, though. I imagine that fish took a decent amount of time and effort.

Yea sculpting is the best there is right now. There's a high demand in the entertainment industry to know how to use sculpting programs like primarily Zbrush, mostly for high detail game characters.
On another note, those glass renders are good but the presentation is a bit off. I'd suggest putting something inside of them or moving the camera so it's not aiming right at them, because they are so translucent you can barely see them.
The shark is pretty cool, did you use a base or just straight up sculpt that out?

Ok... I just LOVE the one furthest to the left!

It looks like real glass to me.

I never said it wasn't great, or most used in entertainment art right now, I said I effing hate it, I can't effing stand it. One more week and I'll never touch Zbrush or Mudbox again, Illustrator all they way!

Also I posted two color layers in the op. For tje shark, I started with a model I did in modo then rotated between mudbox and z brush to do it.

I love this.

On the latest update, I know I shouldn't have chopped the feet off right there, I wasn't thinking when I was drawing horizontal rather then vertical. I also wasn't worried too much about composition and small medium and large, but more on anatomy.

I hate using my cellphone for this kind of thing. I decided to take this one back to my roots, graphic.

Well I was finally able to update some stuff I drew a week ago, and also got some stuff I drew an hour ago.

I drew this head over a week ago, due to donavin H. busy schedual I wasn't able to get it back from him until about a day or two ago. (I get his critique on a lot of my work.) But here is an alien humanoid profile drawings. I'll also be updating my blog today with this, I haven't touched it in a while. I am not sure if I want to take color to any of this right now.

Side view



Well today in art appreciation I decided to build on the alien and give it a full bosy, As you can tell i was about to give it an enviroment as well, but then stopped un-sure the type of background I wanted.

full body


This was something random, it was originally going to be a half spider half woman witch, but i had no spider references at that moment. It is also incomplete.

While sitting in my art appreciation class, I drew my instructor.

As visual developer and illustrator I feel I have not been pushing myself at all, so here is another illustration and story art I have started this time on 11 by 17 paper. Its about a knight who is on his last breath before a mighty monster about to crush him, I used over 12 different reference images (and I still can't draw armor worth shit.) 8 of them being different sets of armor, and 4 being octopus. there is a great deal of problems with my proportion, anatomy and perspective since in my 4 thumbnails I was fighting with the composition of this piece, but composition wise out of all four this one stood out the most, so I went with this one. I will continue working and if all else fails I will restart the illustration from scrap.
