[JoshuaTheJames]

There's some cool stuff in here. Are U in art school?

-Joshua

[steak-tron]

crazy good, like the skeleton/robot appendage feel

[Fipse]

I really like the last two coloured ones. Is this the same inking technique ElCoro uses?

Anyway you´re getting better and better!

Fipse

[stormeffex]

joshuathejames-i'm not in school anymore. i just graduated this past may and still looking for a job doing art. it's kinda tougher than i thought.

steaktron-thanks dude.

fipse-the first one is the same method that el coro uses except that i can't afford the expensive ink, so i stick w/ the higgens ink (which isn't as good because it's water based and not alcohol based, but it's cheaper). the second one is just grey prismacolor markers and color pencil. thanks for the input.

well, i went through all my old sketchbooks today just to see how many i have done. sadly it was only 13 books in 4.5 years. it's not a bad number, but i feel that it's still low. it was nice to see where i progressed.

[savii]

Amazing stuff storm. I really like your brown paper sketchbook stuff. It's such an inspiration I had just had to pick up my sketchbook and do a bit.

Keep it up :btu:

[siskol p]

gorgeous stuff man, you've reaally got a good handle on drawing LOTS of different stuff. very good all around work. personally i'd lay off of so much white on the tone paper for the highlights, you can just punch your darks to increase the value shift then you wont have to make your figures look like they've just gotten car waxed. :D

but other than that little nitpick, very nice stuff sir

[mtomczek]

Very nice stuff tou, keep it up man.

[Invisible Soul]

Wow....awesome stuff man. I love the character that you have. the the woman w/ the robot legs. Can't wait to see more of your work.

[stormeffex]

wowie, it's been a long time since the last update. i've been semi busy, and very lazy. the holidays were a blast. let's hope i start the new year off on a good note. here's what i have for you all.
