I draw stuff :: 05.17

[donkeyslayer]

so things started out as though they were inspired by someone else's work.
i learned that i had to be inspired by life, instead of by life how someone else sees it. adding new layers of mystery and redefining a style and method. thinking about shape and having discrete colors that don't look like they blend into each other. fun fun fun. old -> new

buzz buzz buzzz who's infected with the beees!??!

you are! bwahaha

[nonie]

Cooool! I love the bee stuff... Shapes on your characters are aweomse ^_^

[Justin.]

Wow, those WS black and whites are great, mostly because of how instantly they register as that person, in size, attire, and pose. Seriously, those studies are intriguing as fuck!

[oishiiniku]

Those cel-shaded, toonish fellows are awesome - great silhouettes! They have a sort of Wind Waker/JSR feel to them. I'd love to see more in that style.

Keep it up!

Ta, Nick.

[donkeyslayer]

changed the eyes to make them more animation ready... it will allow for more expressive expressions.

[donkeyslayer]

[MattGamer]

sweet work donk!!! this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=287648&d=1201144356) reminds me a lot like the new game Team Fortress 2. keep up the shapes thinking and those amazing colors! :D

[donkeyslayer]

[InvertedChalupa]

wow! great last couple a posts dude. thanks for the words in my sb

288534

Ha! Love that show...

[Texahol]

zooooom! turn turn turn!!!! TUUUURRRRN
that first turnaround is pretty badass. The knees bobbles are a bit low tho. The second turnaround [teh hooded dood] feels solid [although very low knees again], but the last two seem lacking- especially the render, feels very disconnected from itself, and lacking volume in various parts.

can't wait for more donkdonkdonkdonkTUUURN!!!!

[MattGamer]

nice man. it looks so much better farthest to the right than pre-rendered.

[Idiot Apathy]

Oh hell yes, nice additions.

[Zord]

Damn, Jake! These are looking really cool, looks like you're having lots of fun with'em. Cooler than the bee's knees.

[algenpfleger]

Your style is so refreshing!

[Kaoki]

hey man, some really great stuff here, love the rendered version to bits and the page of roughs for al the designs. super cool!

[nonie]

Love love love those rendered out versions... Doing the shape first is working out really well!

[Unbreakable]

Solid work my friend!

[cupidsart]

Love the work, but there just seems to be something missing in Bee Rich's legs.

[donkeyslayer]

it's the nonie!

[entdroid]

These are super cool. Love how much you tell with so little :)

[Stark]

Nice lines and colors. Smooth throughout. Keep rockin. Any chance of some pencils?

[Jacob Kobryn]

Can I guess on the WS dudes?
Starting at the top left:
The Black Frog, Rich Doble, Andrew Jones, ?, ?, ?, Michael Hussar, ? .
I think I got it right... I can't tell who the ones with the ? are.
I really like your style.

[Texahol]

i feel cheated, where's rendered nonie?

huh? HUH? RENDERED!

you doing these suckers in illustrator? they're looking like krisp like krispy kremes.
buzzzzzz can't wait for more.


'ta-da'!

[donkeyslayer]

did somebody say.... rendered?

[Texahol]

this is more than I bargained for!

good one on ya dude!!! bwahahaha

[donkeyslayer]

man... after wrestling around with zbrush, i finally got it to work for me for the texturing portion. other than that, i used the good ol' Wings3D and Anim8or to do what they each do best.. and it only took a day :).

so...

[nonie]

Ah! Awesome! It's meeee! <3 I want that outfit too. 'Specially the socks :)

[Idiot Apathy]

:D Badass dude!
I demand that you do one of yourself now.

[Texahol]

awesome. You're my hero <3

[donkeyslayer]

some figure drawings from recent times. a lot of good times were had.
it's good to think about placement of the figures on a page when capturing them.

[nonie]

Awesome work dude... love your line quality. Very expressive :)

[donkeyslayer]

Monkeying around in colors. it’s fun because it’s limited in size, so it forces you to focus on the big picture more than details, though detail is possible. and it’s totally portable :). I really like Goro’s work the gorilla artfare blog. painterly and stylized. just more fun things that can be done to push the limits of art and what’s fun.

just playing around with shapes… though you can’t really see all the playing around. plus a little bit of process.

OMG a bear!
Colors! again. it's fun to create certain lighting conditions right in an alla prima setting instead of using the different color and blend modes that photoshop can help you cheat with :}

[madhatter106]

The contour line figure drawings are gorgeous... Gawgeous, gawgeous, gawgeous! :)

[softocean]

I like your 3d stuff. Maybe you can post a texture map and wireframe as well? I feel that at first glance you may need to refine your skin texturing a bit more...

My sketchbook is here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71080&page=3)

[nonie]

That bear is so cute <3

[rupeshtalaskar]

i like u r sketches!!!!!
Keep posting !
and Happy Valentines day !!!!!!!

[Mark Bot]

man. really sweet stuff you got going on here.
specially digging the digi color environments. although the characters are slick too
nice job on the renderings. only crit is some of the surfaces are a little rough. particularly at the arm/chest connections.
otherwise it's good stuff. keep on rockin it Bee man.

[MonkeYoakum]

[Nubb]

[SexyPistol]

Your 3D art is very entertaining, are these from a side project? Regardless, I can't help but stare at them like some child wanting them for their toy collection, hahahaha. I really like your traditional sketches it'd be great to see some more C:.
