can you see the images? apparently im having trouble with my host, but i can see all the images fine

[mos667]

(I can see em!)

These are just amazing! I am loving every new sketch, they are all different. You show a very good technique for creating dark areas, the crosshatching. You use that very well to define the figure a lot!

You seem to be off on a good start on that first color drawing, you really have a feel for the colors. It looks great, but the face seems a bit to masculine. Maybet thats whats bringing a frown to your face :( .

The bengal inspired ones are fantastic! You really captured his style with the eyes and colors (although they don't seem to be watercolor-y enough). These look amazing. I can't believe you can just adopt someones style like that so easily. Same with the last two, very admirable.

Someday, we will be adopting youre style. Have you started a sketchbook here? They are great fun, and I would be sure to comment on it all the time .

mos.:D

::::EDIT:::: Ohhh I just found your sketchbook, although I'm having trouble viewing the images previous to the sixth page, maybe you shoul change hosts? ::::EDIT:::

[remedial]

I see 'em too. I was on yesterday and noticed some of your newer pic posts didn't show up though.

I love your stuff metal! Great line qual. on the sketches and cool loose coloring stuff

[R_M]

Erlier today there was a bunch of red crosses, but now they are up and running.

and it is a shame when your stuff doesn't work cause it is just soooool cooooll!
your noses are one of your trademarks, and they are so full of 3 dimensionality when done in pencil, but I think you overdo them when coloring. the 4rth girl being an example.

keep it up!

[Big-Dave]

I'm getting red crosses just now. Hopefully I'll be able to see them later though.

The reason you can see them but no one else can is cause your computer's cached them in the temporary internet files, so goes there instead of to the site. I don't know why some people seem to be able to see them now, but if they got them to work once then the same would apply, the images would be cached on the computer.

[metalwinds]

the links should be working now

[gasmask]

pretty good stuff however id keep workin from referance, especially with eyes, urs seem to always come out the same or pretty close.

[dARCKLOWN]

Nothing but red X :(

[metalwinds]

yeah.. .. so this is really starting to piss me off... ..it took about 3 seconds to exceded my bandwidth on angelfire, and 1asphost just decides when it wants to work and when it doesnt. if anyone has a GOOD and FREE webhost, please tell me.

peace

[metalwinds]

all i can say is.....fantastic stuff!

[skvv]

you have a unique line quality in your work, almost like tracing, since most of the lines don't look like a single stroke but alot of small ones. not commonly seen, see if you can take this further!

[Anto]

hey metalwinds - what can i say besides amazing
your work is a constant source of inspiration for me
im in love with your style - its a style i am striving to achieve myself in my sketching
cheers!:chug:

[darkcult]

Yeah,
nice work!!!

:chug:

[f00l]

excellent chars metal...

[heiesuke]

real kool stuff, another sketch post making me wanna post

[Carnifex]

those are all indeed very nice rendered...line quality is perfect,but something is bothering me amongst some of them(f.ex.the guy with the swor,who btw has an excellent pose):i think the upper part of the body is too short...better to say i think the hips are set up too high.besides i see nothing to crit.good work:chug:

[I.was.ink]

Hey man. Ive seen a lot of your stuff and have never replied. I like some of it, but one thing that I think would help out a lot would be head studies. Not that theres anything wrong with yours, they're fine, but it seems like you draw the same face(or close to) over and over. It'd be cool to see you switch it up every now and again.
