I'm a recovering Deviant artist and thought being surrounded by some of you people would be more beneficial to my growth...hopefully ;)

[NinjaCandy]

i love your laid back way of drawing on the first drawing. it looks fantastic! creds creds creds :p

[Spysheep]

I'm new to the thread thing, so please excuse my ineptness.

And thank you Ninjacandy :)

[Spysheep]

A couple sketches I did at lunch today...

[CatConvention]

that lunch sketch is pretty awesome!
i need to start drawing during my lunch break.. instead of eating like theres no tommmorow.

[thesadpencil]

i love the pandas man and the one with mice and cat, good stuff.

[Spysheep]

More stuffs

[Tmza]

Really great stuff here, especially that last thumbnail page. Are you going to develop those characters further?

[Spysheep]

mo sketch stuffs.

[Spysheep]

blah....

[thesadpencil]

haha the cowboy octopus is funny shit. keep it up.

[The Legendary Left]

All the characters are awesome. The lunch sketches, the tied up cat, and everything else looks great. Keep posting i hope to see more!

[Spysheep]

thank you Thesadpencil and The Legendary Left

haven't really been art-ing a lot lately outside of work but here are a couple sketches i came up with for Dominance War III

[Smoke]

I love your characters, the western guy in #9 has my vote for the best in this thread. Keep it up.

[Twiggy]

I really dig your style, your characters have a lot of life them which is cool to see. I like your cowboys and jedi, and the xmas girl!

Great way to start

[RandAlThor]

Excellent style dude, it looks like you have your work flow down too. Cant wait to see you develop that dust fort stuff, keep us updated ;-)

[snubbed]

Really nice looking book! I love the look of your stuff. The cartoon-y stuff is exciting. I'll definitely be watching for more.

[snubbed]

I hate to post twice in the same sketchbook back to back like this, but it has been more than a month since I posted and still no updates? C'mon! I love this art! Bring us more!

[Smoke]

I'm with snubbed, I've been itching for some updates.

[Oatestwder]

wow some really nice stuff here, i love it!

[thesadpencil]

i agree w/ snubbed and smokey186 we need more updates man.

[Spysheep]

hey guys, sorry to keep you waiting, been a little distracted with work and life. havnt got a lot done, but here are so quick character concepts from the wizard of oz i kind of wanted to make a little comic about. I wanted to be a fun little project, like if Dorthy was drawn into oz in the middle of a modern revolution. I hope it will help me work on my quick painting, and maybe a little storyboard-y. They still need work, Cheers!

Smoke : Thank you! i will have to do more with the cowboy :)

Cydonix : I really appreciate that. I still really need to work on their lines of action and gesture. A lot of my character come out looking awkward

RandAlThor, snubbed and Oatestwder: thank you so much!

[crown]

awesome concept designs! for quick sketches they're amazingly well done, and i especially enjoy the lion and the scarecrow...look forward to seeing more!

[`rawr]

hey, nice stuff.. really digging your dominance war entry

[Spysheep]

Crown- thank you much :) i think the scarecrow is my favorite, still don't think the lion looks cowardly

Rawr- Thank you! i was hoping I would be able to get motivated for it, but i quickly fell off the dom train, hehe

[ajvenema]

hmm, nice book! i wodner why not so many people have found this book yet, lot of great stuff!

[HanRa]

yeah! youre going your way. just remember to draw from life and with reference now and then. i think that always helps

[Spysheep]

ajvenema- thank you mate!

Hansra- I totally agree with you, i get scared by the idea of drawing from life but i really need to. :)

something i worked on today. I need practice...a lot of it...

I tried to make a quick mock page for my comic, blah, enjoy

[Utopia]

O M G!!! You have adorable style.. so dynamic both in colors and shapes.. And the stuff that inspires you are different.. or they look more interesting through the way you draw them..

[Chate Noire]

You have some lovely stuff! I really like your sketches - they're diverse, crisp and interesting. The 3-page of different houses and the bajillion tiny character thumbnails are my favorite. And damn, you drew that crazy sci-fi-western scene in your lunchbreak? I just eat and bitch about going back to the office on mine! :)

I definitely believe you'll get more here in terms of constructive feedback. DA is more of a community site, really, kinda like an art-oriented MySpace. Good luck!

[remmy]

Always wanted to try some kind of cartoon style... seeing your s makes me want to get into it. great style and visual concepts... I really love the wale cowboy great stuff I'm subscribing to see some more :D

[Spysheep]

Utopia - thank you very much! I try to give my drawing some sort of character :)
Chate Noire- Thank you for your kind words. Your sketchbook is so inspireing, i love your color usage....soooo good! subscribed for sure!
remmy- Thank you remmy, you should totally do it! and thank you for the sub :)

I've been so busy with work and have lost all inspiration and ability! that is my excuse for the lack of artage...got quickly done today, hopefully will get back around to it for some improvements.

[Quinn Simoes]

Love all those character sketches in post 22, the Wizard of Oz stuff. What a cool idea.

Keep at it!

Quinn

[Spysheep]

Quinn Simoes - thanks you mate.

I am having a bitch of a time with color, but here are a couple characters from a story im working on called Jwe Avem. blah

[Ash888]

I greatly admire your style, it breaths so much life in to your characters.
I can't wait to see more.
Thank you for posting your work.

[Nightblue]

sweet SB. I dig your dark fairytale style a lot :D Keep posting!

[SEVANS]

Love the movement and energy that your thumbnails have.
The rough gunslinger image with the blur, looks like a cel frame from a extremely cool animated movie - Love it.

All I can say (it has been said already) is do some lifedrawing/reference drawing too. It's only going to make your work stronger.

Great SB!

[rushwolf]

ya know I like the lava blacksmith dude a good deal. Its different than your normal stuff. And yeah as people say you're work has great energy and personality to it.

methinks you're strongest point so far is scene layout- not just background but arrangement and movement of characters. Storyboardish, but not as simplistic.

:D

[Spysheep]

hello all. I really havn't been able to do much of my own stuff lately. Its hard to art when you're tired all the time. Anyways, here's somethin to fill the gap until hopefully something comes outta my pencil that isn't complete shit. Peace

[Dan Valkar]

i like ur western concepts those r sweet..wanna see more!!

[BANDD]

awesome style!!!!!!! plz continue

[Jeff Bartzis]

Really cool stuff.
Definitely Subscribed.

[remmy]

Sup spysheep, I think your pencils are friken awesome. Anyways I hope you can do some updates more often I really like your style, quite different from anything I've seen here. Keep at it, hope you can post more soon.

[jedininjaman]

How about that **** at two pages, well you deserve it, nice pencils and your lines are tidy enough we have a quasi similar rendering style, more tonal variance in mine but still very similar
good sense of balance in your last color. but I Love the pencils though , cool stuff :) stop by sometime
-jedi

[a la bapsi]

good thing you fled deviantart and came here. ;D
Your stuff has potential. great potential.
I'm loving your quick sketches, they're full of energy and style~

[Spysheep]

Remmy- Thank you sir. I will hopefully be posting more. Just lost motivation for the last six months :(

jedininjaman- i really appreciate that. I got a chance to fly through your sketchbook and I love your work. I will surely be stopping by soon to put in my two cents :)

Jeff Bartzis- I'll start doing stuff, i promise! :)

a la bapsi- Thank you. I'm glad you said that about the energy. I really have been trying to concentrate on that since my rendering isnt really where i'd like it to be :)

This was a drawing I started yesterday after checking out Creature box. Sooo inspireing. Anyways, my buddy Earl (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1207343#post1207343) (check his stuff out) spent last night giving me tips and techniques for painting. So thank you sir! Still a few things I want to touch up on, but enjoy!

[jedininjaman]

Crisp work fresh with a lot of attitude I love the stylized western shots and the way you colored the fire in the dark landscape creates an awesome atmosphere
one thing to work on though would be to have an increased variety of textures in your work even if it is very cartoony like the last one, the house is the same as his skin, which is very similar to his beard...:)
keep it up
-jedininja

[Spysheep]

[JesArt]

Why dont you have a five yet, I love your sketchbooks, their so epic. Wat school do you go to ?

[Spysheep]

Hey guys, thank you for the comments. I went to AI Jesart, which probably explains my lack of anatomy knowledge :P It's been awhile since i've hopped on here and really since then havnt done much more than sketching outside of work stuff. Ill try to get back on this. enjoy some w.i.p. since thats as far as i ever seem to get
