hey hey man, i like your stuff, looks really nice, I really dig stuff like this, but hey let me be the first to say, your stuff rox, and welcome to CA. stay in touch man. and keep up the good work!

[PlasmaErnst]

:yayca: Thx for welcomin me, im glad that u like it :teeth:
Some older sketches:

[DecayingLolita]

nice sketches but you've got to try and avoid using the blur tool so much. It's nice to see brush strokes rather than something that looks like a giant smudge and you don't do your linework any favours that way. Try to get a strong painting style for your colourings.

[Bowlin]

You've got some cool designs on here man. Keep at it. You ought to sketch and show us a lot of anatomy studies too. :)

[PlasmaErnst]

Thx a lot for the Help...:teeth:
Here are some newer sketches:

[iMaiM]

Love your sketches. The overbuilt / muscular look is great. Only suggestion is to resize your images to about 50-75% before posting... the bigger ones you have to scroll to see.

Can't wait for updates! Keep it up and welcome :)

[Nistarn]

I really love this last studies, specialy the bulls torso, great : ) hope to see more

[PlasmaErnst]

Im really happy that you like it :} thx a lot

[Lenorekitty]

I really like this stuff....great job on those horses up there....keep it up...

[Smarty]

great, this stuff is really coming along! especially since you ditched the graph paper, that was making everything so rigid. My fav is the ace guy a couple of posts ago :)

[max1975]

Hey there. Thanks for visiting my book; I've been dying for some feedback since a lot of my buddies have been inactive for a while.

You have some really nice stuff here. I'm a little in awe of your imagination on some of those monstrous profile heads--but can you turn them and show them from other angles? If not, work on that. It'd also be nice to see some more stuff without such wildly exaggerated proportions--you do those very well but they could become a crutch.

[Jackwhat]

Lotta nice stuff goin on up in here yo. I like the vast majority of your techy designs, theyve got a fair bit going on with em and your monsters are cool to boot.

With your colours i really think they could benefit from a highlight as it would really bring them out, as is theyre ok but still not popping out as strongly as they could.

So if you dont mind ill slap a coupla links that are worth the read and illustrate the point im tryin to make.

^ He uses highlights really well imo.

Keep it up :3

[PlasmaErnst]

Uhh... i didn´t update quite long now:[ . I already feared not to reach page 2, but finally i got my ass up.

Jackwhat: Thx for your advice that link was very helpful >:D >:D thx a lot!!!
max 1975: Well, glad i could satisfy your thirst after feedback^^. Yure right, i definitly have to practice the perspective thing...and anatomy - but there is just so little time...:S
SmartKyle: Yeah, ure right about the paper :} thanks for passing by
LeonorKitty: Thank you Lady, im glad you like it <3

[omgitsduane]

dude, that shit is fucking awesome! everything you draw seems to have such a dark vibe, which I naturally like, and most of the armoured guys remind me of some sort of fallout universe.

The bunch of random... heads looks wicked also.

[Dorkthrone]

Awesome. Post more plzkthxbai

[PlasmaErnst]

i love fallout
and try to keep posting in my sb
thanks for commenting :hatsoff:

[Oranje Joe]

wow man

youre freakin amazing,

i saw your latest DSG, the mech one, you have a really cool way of taking something that is boring and has been seen before, and making it unique

[Mat Kaminski]

Welcome to the group!

Oh wow, nice works for sure! You, like AsaB, have great lines too!

Oh man, I'm kind of intimidated now by the group I signed on for lol!
Regardless, your work is goregous. I may have some requests for you later... We'll have to see how it goes...

Regardless, would you be interested in weekly activites too? I'm just going to ask everyone to see how this group goes, I'd like to see an active group (at least weekly).

[Justice Von Brandt]

Hey there :)

I like your drawings, you have a nice attention to detail. Really nice character/creature designs.

[AsaB]

Hey man :)

Ooh, you've got some impressive designs here! Your texturing is amazing. I see creatures and monsters are your thing, ne? Lovely stuff, maybe something I'll try out (so not my comfort zone!).

Anyway, just checking how things are with my fellow sketchers. Keep on drawing!

[Renegade89]

Hello :)

Some good sketches over here, i can see lot of improvement even between just one post to the next. I notice the timespans are a bit long between a few of the posts, you must have been practicing in the meantime,

hope you post more often. I definitely like to see where your taking it, your designs are quite interesting.

[~Faust~]

Dude, although you're from the south I will treat you like a normal human being :P.

Your work is extremely good and I'm envious of your designs. Awesome stuff, mate!

[Mon Chat]

Awesome stuff! very inspiring,

all i would recommend is to do heads from more angles sooo many profiles! (very good profiles!, but i used to do them so much too) i dont know, you might not be doing them as much as i think, its just what i've seen.

lush stuff none the less!

[PlasmaErnst]

thank you fellow sketchbooksupportgroupers, your help is much appreciated :hatsoff:
I am on page TWO!!! wow that feels good :)
Some sketches (some from ref), need to work more anatomy and rendering:

[~Faust~]

If you want to practice rendering more, you should begin with basic forms, like cubes and stuff. Hatch your way around them and you'll be ready to apply the rendering to more complex forms eventually. Also, you should mimic the rendering of other artists, so you can get a bigger picture of what's possible.

Awesome Hydralisk! I like it <:)

[Mat Kaminski]

Woohoo! Hydralisk!! :D

Your newest are looking really nice! Try doing some facial studies, especially expressions. That will help you grasp on to the emotion of your characters.
You do those from reference by the way, right?

Anyway, keep up the great work.

[Mon Chat]

Great stuff with the heads! :) also, yay hydralisk!

[Renegade89]

Might be getting redundant already but... the Hydralisk looks nice :)

[PlasmaErnst]

Faust: Danke für deine Ratschläge!
Malakai: Thanks a lot, will do that! Yes most of them were from ref. i draw a lot from newspapers, photographic books or from live.
J.: Thank you :)
Renegade: Thanks! your posts never will be redundant :)

[Justice Von Brandt]

Awesome monsters!
That last piece looks nice already, would love to see a finish.
Also nice facial and anatomy studies

[blenditall]

Cool stuff here. Too bad some of the earlier ones are on graph paper, but oh well :)
I think your realistic stuff is even better than the fantasy, but I guess one freedom of drawing is drawing things that aren't real. And they are pretty cool. I should be doing a bit of that myself...

[Mat Kaminski]

That's an interesting gray scale you got coming along. You should stick to non-color for now to make sure you have your values down. When you get confident enough with your grayscale, you can easily switch to color by painting over the areas with the neccessary colors :)

You'll go far, just keep dilligent on your work.

And I have to ask, is that a sword on that marine? :D

[PlasmaErnst]

mnm: thank you, monsters are just great! :)
blenditall: Thanks! When i draw from imagination things just get exaggerated, hehe :)
Malakai: Thanks for passing by fellow ssg-er.
Uhm ja...its a sword...well i guess thats the warhammer influence ;)
As for the grayscale/value, i keep that in mind. Thanks
...little update + todays dsg (maybe 2 h - dont know :()

[Renegade89]

Sup Plasma :)

Your sb makes me think something along the lines of Warhammer meets Resident Evil ;P hehe

Nice sketches on the last post, the first ones gas some very good values. Reminds me to practice some more with monochromatic paintings. Are you planing on adding colors on them?
Like to see where you are going with the chaos one, the right side seems a to me a bit empty as for now.

See ya :)

[Mat Kaminski]

Oh hey now, your newest picture looks very promising. One thing I would suggest is to watch out on the hands though. Try doing a couple of hand studies, they will help you better grasp how the anatomy of the hand works.
Either way though, it has potential.
Other than that the other piece is coming along.

[~Faust~]

Alter, Du postest ja schon ziemlich regelmäßig, wie? :)

Jedenfalls ziemlich gutes update, gefällt mir. Vor allem das erste hat extrem gute Anatomie und die Posen sind auch ziemlch dynamisch. Das zweite sieht mir tonal ziemlich verwurschtelt aus. Pass auf, wo Deine Kontraste hingehen! Ist es wirklich möglich, dass die Kreatur im Hintergrund etwa dieselbe Beleuchtung hat wie die Figuren im Vordergrund? Ich glaube nicht. Ausserdem musst echt aufpassen, wo Du die extremen Lichtreflektionen hinpackst. Weniger ist hier AJF besser. Ansonsten ein sehr guter Anfang, bin gespannt was draus wird :)

[AsaB]

Your creature designs are impressive and dynamic, I really like your sketchy painting style :) The one with the leaping mech dog is great, the man's design is excellent, with those bulky legs and torso. Your sense of form seems quite good, considering your (somewhat raw!) shading. I hope to see more stuff soon!

[angel2342]

Your concepts are simply amazing. I love your black and white linework/sketches. But there were a few that you colored where I would still opt for the sketch as the better of the two drawings.

[PlasmaErnst]

renegade: yes thats possible i have spent some time with games :D i hope to color them sometime. thanks
Malakai: Thanks, i ll do.
Faust: Naja leider doch nicht sooo regelmäßig. Danke für die Hilfe!
AsaB:thanks, glad you like it :)
Angel: ohh thank you...but i am still struggling with everything :D

[AsaB]

Nice sketches, man! I'm seeing that your human anatomy is getting quite good, not to mention creature anatomy, hehe :) Pretty solid shading as well, like on that running girl monster. Fun seeing your sketches for the weekly topic, pretty nice aztec temple there, pity we didn't see something like that in the final! I realize that's not entirely your fault, though, with the PC crash.

Say, in the first couple pages of sketches, are these done from life? It looks to me as if most of the faces are done by ref, they've got such different facial structures. If so, that's a very good path to follow! As much as I like your sweet critter designs, you can't forget do practice us humans too, hehe :) Just 10 minutes of gestures a day or so to start you off with. But it also seems a lot of the creature designs involve human antomy so maybe it'll all come together eventually.

Anyway, I hope you'll get some drawings done in spite of your exams. Good luck with those!

[Renegade89]

Hey, finally updated :)

Cool sketches, great movements in those monster´s poses you sketched.

You have a cool sense of design when playing with muscles body parts to make those creatures, keep it up.

Don´t forget about drawing plain average joe´s though, youll never know when you might need some characters for those creatures to feed upon or something :P

[Justice Von Brandt]

Why draw people when you can draw good monsters :P

Really energetic poses, and the monster designs are great too. I'd love to see a nice crisp finished one though!

[omgitsduane]

The undead guy and the dude with the muscles exposed are dead set wicked man!
I've seen you in DSG a lot, as much as I'd love to enter those things, I never get anywhere by the time its well and truely over, and then I give up, but when I see you there your stuff is more often than not my favourite by far you have a sick style!

[~Faust~]

update, alter! DieDesigns sindcool achte beideinen Bleistiften nur darauf, nicht zu sehr allem einen Ton zu geben.

[PlasmaErnst]

uhh...update...finally

Asa: thank you! luck was with me! :cheerleader:
Renegade: Thanks! Youre right about the average joe...hopefully next update :bashful:
MnM: thanks, someday something will be finished! :yayca:
omgitsduane: Thanks a lot!
Faust: Danke, ich werde versuchen mich im Eifer des nächten Gefechtes daran zu halten :teeth:

So here is a small update:
first one is my final exam, so no "art", but still very proud of it :confident
+leona wip
+doodles

[Renegade89]

Hiya, cool your back :)
Nice job with your exam, and hey, "art" has a broad meaning.

Leona is looking hot .:perv:, and that lava guy looks badass.

[Mat Kaminski]

I'm liking your digital work! It's looking great. It still has a slightly fuzzy look to your color, but your lines are soooo clean! You look like you've drawn with charcoal and colored with pastels in your drawings. Nice work for digital!

Just like I recommended to Renegade, Luis Royo might be a good artist for you to study because he seems to have monsters and women in alot of his drawings. A pretty good contrast in my opinion. Although some of them are kind of disturbing... lol.

Anyway, keep going :D

[PlasmaErnst]

i update every day from now on...>:D

[~Faust~]

Na das will ich doch hoffen! HAhAHA! Solide sheeeeeeeeize alda! Vielleicht könntest Du ein bisschen mit dem Arrangement Deiner Studien auf den Seiten aufpassen. Im Moment sind die Studien so zusammengewürfelt dass sie etwas langweilig wirken. Versuch mal, mehr auf die Grenzen des Blattes zu achten, das ist der erste Schritt zu guter Komposition!

EDIT: Dieses Blatt ist gar nicht so schlecht: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=653295&stc=1&d=1240435604

Anatomy is looking good! Only the lion is a bit wonky with his perspective. Good to have you back, man!

[PlasmaErnst]

Thanks Faust, your comment is much appriciated
have a lot to learn about Perspective + Composition +whatnot
So heres todays poor dump (posemaniac,loomis,photoref). it can only get better... right? :^^;:

Awww. Thanks kitty. Brilliant! :D

And I so much love your pencil works: the lines and style in those doodles is smashing... the only problem is, that after you reminded me that Ritter sport exist, I have a huge need of chocolate. :P

[PlasmaErnst]

thank you very much for the encouraging words sadetar :)

I recently made a low poly 3d model in wings3d.
In future projects i should define the different bodyparts better (shoulders/chest - legs/abdomen).
Also better uv unwrapping in terms of placment of cuts and general layout of the pieces would improve speed and quality.
