[Borilius]

I'll be putting here all my doodles, speedies and etc. The Art-terror begins, be warned ;)

This is from today afternoon at work, i started drawing goblin, and ended with this mob of some kind. All done in Artrage2.

Johnny "The Fiddler"

[Quicksilver]

Hey, nice start and welcome to the Sketchbook section :) I like the crisp colours you've got going on in that piece. Is ArtRage much like Corel Painter? I haven't really used either, but would like to.

Hope to see more!

EDIT: Just looked through your site. I like your character designs, but find the speedpaints more expressive and dynamic. Cool stuff~

[Hethabyr]

Excellent piece, Borilius. Easy to surmise, of course, that it won't be a "fiddle" he'll be carrying in his case : )

Can't help but give you five stars for this. They won't show up at this point (don't ask me why) but they'll appear eventually.

Keep posting.

[monotony]

woo sweet start. finally a borilius-sketchbook.
as I said before I love the brushwork in your pieces.
you definately know how to handle artrage.
looking forward to seeing a lot more.

[l0stinth0ughts]

hey, i like the colors you brought out in high contrast, but i wanna see more.... :rocker:

[Borilius]

Thank you all for the kind words and warm welcome, i've never thought my works would bring any attention. :) Here is something fast, right after work, playing with my new tablet Wacom Bamboo A5 - love it, even more than my Intuos3 in the office :)

[Borilius]

1 hour, Artrage2 after recieveing request for some more WW2 pics :) I just hope there is nobody offended by svastika on his helmet. :mittenbop:

[Quinn Simoes]

Really like the German soldier, very clean and confident brush strokes. Great start to your SB!

[marioucci]

Indeed, the german soldier has strokes to die for. Loved it man

Cheers

Really good work man, I love the hard edge paint in the WW2 guy, and how you preserve your drawing. Keep the posts coming

[UnSharpened]

It's awesome man:D!!
You're veteran in those figures, and lights as well. I love how you indicate the shadow and pattern on the costume with the strokes, it's cool. The work you got in your website is kicking ass, too. Can't wait to see more<3!!

[Borilius]

Thank you guys!!! I feel flattered :)
Here is another one, "indiana jones - type", Bob Canteen is his name. 100% Artrage2
I may put steps too, if there is interest ofcourse, its not something unusual - mostly for the guys who paint in Artrage2 :)

[Jabo]

You win ;) Great stuff. I guess I saw this one (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=312288&stc=1&d=1204068523) over at Sijun. It's got a very dramatic feeling, very unique. I really like your style.

[`rawr]

gorgeous work borilius, thanks for the process shots, I'd like to see one for your speedpaints.. I prefer the loose feel of those

[Borilius]

Thank you guys!!!
Here is another one, a bit of fan-art to "Firefly"/"Serenity" - the likeliness /sp?/ was lost a bit in the process. But i believe you all Browncoaters will recognize him ;)

You on fire dude! The indiana jones looking character totally rocks, it comes at a good time too since the next movie is being release in may :-) Would love to see the original sketch and the steps you used on that one. Im also loving your scandinavian hero sketch, cant wait to see the colors. Inspiring work man, keep em coming!!!

Here is another one from today, a lazy day it was ;)
I called him "Ghoul", dont mistaken him with those creatures from the myths and legends, its just his nickname lol
http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/4841/ghoulsketchnr2.jpg

[LECO]

Nice concept bro! The pose is really dynamic, it almost looks as if he is under water. Did you use any references by the way? Keep up the good work ;-)

[Borilius]

LECO, thanks! No, i hardly use any refs at all, only if i need historical accuracy/armour or weapons/, or fan-art /"Firefly"/ :)

[Borilius]

More c*appy sketches ;) I'm lost between cartoon or realistic character, and where the anatomy mistakes come from...
http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/6349/gnollsketchbu6.jpg

[carnalizer]

Love the confident lines!

[Asire]

Sweet weeping jesus! Your sketches are great, but our finished paints (Or what look like finished to me) are somthing else. Love the way you handle the lighting of your subject, it really is sublime.

I thoroughly enjoyed looking at your stuff, I will be back for more :)

[remmy]

ha sweet your style is sick, kinda reminds me of the Indiana Jones cartoons or the Phantom... don't know why. You have awesome line work and a solid knowledge of anatomy and lighting. Any way thx for uploading your paint process I will study :yayca:

Keep the concepts flowing cause I'll be back for more!

[MrBobMarley]

Wow.....very very nice dude. I like it all....these are all great!

Man I just love your stuff.

It's just so clear and nice to look at, moar please :)

[Dreln]

Love the WW2 painting, great tones that create some good depth and form.

Gotta love Squidface too, although he could do with some more squidly bits about him instead of all the human anatomy.

Great book!

[D.Focus]

you've pinned down such a nice style. thanks for the progress shots.

[TLL]

I love this style of your paintings. Especially the soldiers on the first page.
I tried to do such speedpaintings in Photoshop very often. But I always get caught in details.

Do you use photoshop or Painter? And if photoshop do you use the standard brushes or some self made?


PS: Thank you for posting on my sketchbook.

[Hive_minD]

Well now you've said it! Now you have to post all your speeds and sketches ;)

Chris

[red-fox]

Nice artwork man, really loved the b&w ones.
The hard edges looks great!

[Eric Young]

your black and white drawings are awesome! I really like your style and your characters are great! Keep up the good work, i cant wait to see more

[TotesHerz]

I really love the nice clean lines in your art, combined with your slick style. Everything's so sharp and clean looking, I love it. :)

[Ivan the Not-So-Bad]

Hi there, really like your style with the black and white images, and the process post with the squid face painting is great as well. Thanks for such a great sketchbook!

[anjin]

your style rule! Great thing posting the work in progress and the finished from the sketch... :) I hope to see more of them soon.

[Kaffinated]

Great stuff! Mal has to be my fave. In photoshop are you using the square brushes mainly for that clean look you have?

[Borilius]

Thank you all!
@Kaffinated: Im painting in Artrage - that square brush is actually "roller". I use Photoshop only for color corrections and resizing :) Thanks!
@TLL: You'are welcome! :)

[Borilius]

Work and more work, i wish some more free time to paint...damn...

Marvelous brush control! And mostly done with Artrage, very cool!

[DeeLock]

I love your stuff but it seems like you use a lot of the same sort of subjects.

Not that they aren't really amazing it's just that i think you could expand your stuff to new heights if you branched out into different subject matter.

Still giving you 5 stars though :P

awesome update! love the tones! - can't wait till you pulled together the story! keep rockin'!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

@AmbientChroma: Thanks!
@smokenmirrors: Thanks, glad you like it - next time i'll post step-by-step, it's nothing new, but it could be interesting and hopefully more people will try Artrage :)

@DeeLock: Thank you for your critique - i'm working on my own story for some time, so the repeating subject is something inevitable. But i'll try to post more different themes from now on :)
@Josef K: Thanks, mate!
@Pencil Rebellion: Glad you like it!

Decided to take part of this year Dominance War IV - so sad CA.org is not part of it :( I'll be putting here all the sketches for the battle. Would love to get critiques and thank you in advance!
I give you: "Humungus"

Love this SB. The confidence of your brush strokes is amazing, i dont know how you dare be so bold!
There is one major problem with this SB though... We want MOAR! :D

Very loosen up sketching, how good.
The only thing I can think of, to criticize your SB is that you tend to draw most often in the same sort of plain, usually showing from the head to the chest.

[Chate Noire]

Excellent monster heads!

[Borilius]

Thank you!
I'm in the middle of a project, and don't have much time to update... i'm so sad...
Two more sketches:

[dchung]

some of your stuff really reminds me of dan milligan .... awesome work dude.. keep it up !

[Kasper_P]

Aaah man! There is such a sweet dynamic feel to all of your stuff, it's a rush to look at. Everything looks like it's moving and vibrating, which only takes a completely ridiculous amount of brush/pen control and rhythm. Good on ye mate!

[Borilius]

Thanks guys, here is a quickie, while trying to wake up -

I was going to write some fanboy asspatting here, but figured that was too unoriginal. Damnit! I could really use that kind of lines in my current commission. I'm gonna fkning stop browsing CA.

[Borilius]

Thanks, i somehow succeeded in deleting my last images... lol, here is new one - sketch from this morning:

Watched the new Star Trek yesterday, i was totally blown away. As a long time Star Wars fan, i was always interested in the Star Trek too - but guess never gave it a chance. I haven't had so much fun, since the 80s and Star Wars.
This is just a quickie from this morning, planning on watching the Star Trek again tomorrow:)

Lovely character design, and as many others have said-beautiful strokes!

[Borilius]

@daveneale: Thank you, appreciated!

[Hazart]

Very exellent stuff here! Drawings are great and paintings as well.

[carnalizer]

hey bor are those scanned sketches or 100% digi? Anyone else and I would be sure the lines were pencil on paper, but I know you control the wacom something awesome. If digi, which software?

edit: never mind. Saw previous posts. Painter all the way right... damn

No, no :) These last few are all done in Artrage - btw. i have a theory about Painter and Photoshop: If you are traditional media artist, and you want to try digital approach /but keeping the traditional media feeling/ to drawing/painting these softwares are not the best way to do so. Let me explain based on my observation and experience - Painter makes the lines a bit too "clean", with one swing you can make the perfect curve. If you then go back to the traditional pencil you will find, that its a pain in the ar*e: you will try to do the same, but it won't work. For me, i have spend too much time away from the traditional drawing - and recently i discovered i became too "used" to the Painters clean lines and Ctrl+Z. So now i'm trying to brake off the digital approach as much as i can, and in my humble opinion the Artrage is the best simulation of natural media.
I would love to hear from all of you on this matter, it may become a great discussion :)
