Very very cool, man! I love them all, especially the backview of the girl (with the wings cut off) and the last one. I can't wait to see more!
:chug:

[carbonfour]

Super badass as always Eric. That motorcycle thug is sweet!

F

[daG-ELLO]

Nicely done, what's the story on the gal with the angel wing scars on her back?

[Pezz3D]

OMG JERK!!! You took my idea with the EC-10 logo.... IM GONNA DO IT NE WAY HEED MY WORDS NIMMROD!

Great stuff. I like guy on the right of sketch 5, reminds me of how I've always pictured dante, make a virgil. :)

[Nimrod]

Okey, Now for some newer stuff, only a month or so old -

NHansen- Thanks man!

C4- dude, you were supposed to comment a long time from now when the thread gets near the bottom, and give me a bump.

daG-ELLO - I dunno, just a character I made up... been thinking about stuff to use her for. Maybe I was just playing too much Devil May Cry.

Pezz3D - hahha, yes that is the cover of my sketchbook. And actually that sketch was my concept for the last thunderdome, which I never finished, of Simon Belmont.

[carbonfour]

Don't worry man, I will.

[strych9ine]

Badass, Nimrod. The motorcycle thug is awesome...

Carbonfour, I remember browsing you site a while back when it had the rotating photo banner... I friggin' loved the design of that site.

:chug: to both of ya.

[WildSpruceMoose]

These are so amazing. Such vitality in the poses and some cool subject matter too. The second of the latest update is my favourite and the girl with the 2 guns looks like shes doing some gun katas. Cool sketches.

[thomasaurus]

great sketches! I see a lot of character in them :chug:

[cotron]

love the title to your thread... vice city reference, awesome. I really like the motorcycle sketch, cool perspective and action.

[Jeff Gran]

wow kickass stuff man. I think your biggest strength may be your sense of composition and movement. Some of the poses and drapery look like split-second action caught on your pad.

[Nimrod]

oh yah up to the diznate

Some more newer stuff - we're almost caught up!

strych9ine - Thanks but hey! no praising c4 in my thread! :)

WSM- thanks man, I'm glad you see vitality and life, that's always a great thing to try to infuse in your art, especially concept art, it means I'm doing something right!

Jnorish- likewise, thanks

cotron- hell yea! wow, that motorcycle one is popular.

Jeff Gran- Also much thanks, I'm glad you think they are so active, definitely something I try to emphasize.

[siskol p]

wow man your technique is really serious. esp. with the pencil, very comperable to a certain kid i go to school with.
may i ask what your weapon of choice is when it comes to pencils and pens??

and anyone i could/should look at?


keep posting

[Nimrod]

What a let down


http://ninja.designrockstar.com/Sketchbooks/Fall-Winter03/sketch_apathy.jpg

It's raining men!
http://ninja.designrockstar.com/Sketchbooks/Fall-Winter03/sketch_rainmen.jpg

cowboys
http://ninja.designrockstar.com/Sketchbooks/Fall-Winter03/sketch_cowboy.jpg

siskol- I just use papermate sharpwriter super cheapie 90-a-box mechanical pencils. I have some nice koh-i-noor and rotring pens and brushes and inks I never use too. And these sketches are all pencil, I have just messed with the level in pshop so they are nice and black, my scanner is pretty old.. :/

I know what thats like :)

Kudos Numrod! :beer:

[TheDirtSyndicate]

i like your stuff because i seem to get a story from each piece. (well, all but the portrait stuff.....but even then, there's a hint in the expression, tonal values, and whatnot)

[siskol p]

dude....

COWBOYS ARE THE SHIT!!!!!!!!! i totally just got The Good, The Bad and The Ugly and Hang'em High, on DVD, and they've totally put me on a cowboy kick.

which by the way your drawings of are tight as hell, i really like your dramatic lighting in your drawings, definatly gives a sense of form and of that harsh "high noon" sun

keep it up

[Nimrod]

Thanks guys... Haven't been very active here, school and all you know, but when i get home I have plenty of stuff i can go through and find some more to post.

sic1 - heheheh yea, thanks man!

complete2 - thanks, you made my day, I really really want to make the audience create their own stories from my work; I think that's a big part of not just concept art, but all art, not just being creative yourself but challenging and inspiring others to be so as well.

siskol p - hell fucking yea! I think I drew those the day after I saw Good, The Bad and the Ugly (for like the 500th time). or maybe it was after spooge demon posted a string of them over on sijun...

[Nimrod]

Here's some stuff I did awhile ago while I was bored at work... digital sketches (on my cintiq mwahahahaha).

they aren't very good, and read very poorly, but because of this they were good practice... I definitely learned a lot doing them, so I thought it would be worthwhile to post them, hopefully so others will be inspired to try something similar.
