update:03/07 A Painting a Day Keeps the Wolves at Bay

[Jeffsimpson]

Hello, me and some others have started doing a "painting a day for 30 days" challenge to try to tighten up our skill(zors). I work fulltime as a concept artist and I do freelance on the side so doing this is pretty much impossible but I'm going to see how long I can last anyways since I so rarely get to do my own drawings/concepts anymore.

*edit : Ok, I failed that horrible, but I'll still put stuff up when I have it :)

You have some awesome stuff. I wish you luck in balancing the work load. Trying to find the time for your own art is important.

Kudos.

because of freelance, I wasn't able to keep it up to a drawing a day but I'm still tryin' :p

[anjin]

the last thing is very very interesting.. I should to see a full series of things so! With the same setting I mean! :D

[Newman101]

that very first one is an interesting take on pikmin. At least I assume so because of the fact you have p.i.k.m.i.n. at the top of it *laughs* So far so good. Show us more!

[Flutic]

Nice stuff great brushwork.

Love the surrealness of the characters
Greets,Tom

[wisecrack]

[Arrogant Thought]

Hey your work is so bold. The rough textures and detail is really strongly put together. I would like to see some more work when it's up and maybe do a collaboration if you're interested.

[DanielC]

[Camara]

The last concept is so original!!I love the head and the section on it!!

[DanielC]

Cool stuff man

[El Jeremie]

Nice stuff dude.

[Moai]

That lats painting is really cool. The color scheme is quite good, and I like all the scars and cuts on him. The layers within his sliced skull were a very nice touch. The perspective on his face seems just a hair off somehow, though.
Excellent work.

[Grafguy]

sweet ^^

[skvv]

this book is pure win. love the style.

[Vulgar`]

A wilderbeest of a sketchbook.

[Reject-D]

great ideas keep it up!!

[jinok]

reat stuff man really interesting stuff

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hey man these things are awefully good man I am drooling here. I really like how your serious and and eerie concepts are counteracted by the fact that you include hilarious little elements that spike things up. You have an adimarble grasp on anatomy and you are very good with colors, so I am really looking foreward to see what you mock up with in the future:)

[Giorge]

[Buckster]

really cool stuff man, I enjoy the sharpness of your strokes. That angular anatomy is looking cool as well, maybe study some proportions to make it perfect.

You are off to a good start here mate, welcome to CA!

Cheers

[rushwolf]
