Gee's sketchbook

[ImaGEEnation]

787344Been stalking this site for a bit, and thought I'd make meself an SB.

Hi I'm new here. My name is Gee Hale and I'm from Sydney, Australia. I'm currently studying Design and Illustration skills, with a couple of my peeps here. I don't like eating chicken thighs, but I love watching Seinfeld while drawing hihihi! :D

Damn! This site rocks! A lot of really awesome stuff posted here!
I am here to gain more knowledge and inspirations from you guys, so any critiques and comments are welcome.

Hope to learn a lot from you guys while having a ball at the same time :sungod:


THAT WAS WRITTEN in 2009 :)


Thank you.

[ImaGEEnation]

More updates...:mod:

[comixnut]

alriiiiiiiiiiiight finally found this sb! :D Post more art man!

[Aaron Death]

Love your erotic drawings. That naruto is so hilarious.

Post more~

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey guys, thanks for the comments...and here they are! More post! Went to do some life draw with a few peeps from here! Was pretty coow! :D Yeah, need to work harder! Go go go! :lifedrawing:

Oh, how do I upload more than one file in one post? Anyone can fill me in?

[ImaGEEnation]

Weeeh! Oh, don't worry about the upload file thingy...I figured it out! Woo hooo!:assspank: Anyways, just a few concepts...:tihi: More to come...!

[ImaGEEnation]

...feeling depressed...anyway, just a quick paint! C&C are always welcome! Thanks!

[comixnut]

I too am feeling depressed looking at your speed painting! LOL Very very nice, making some serious improvement on those Gee!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hehe thanks man! Yeah, I can only try :D You're killing with your 365 days challenge! 11 months to go! When that happen, I'mma pat you on the back! Or the butt? haha!

[ImaGEEnation]

another study...I'm dead sleepy now...night! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Quick sketch. No ref...just for fun! The transition of using Intuos 4 from a Graphire is really BIG! It's fresh! Like eating a watermelon with knife and fork on a cold summer afternoon. And the graphire has been passed down to my girl, so 2 people are happy! hehe!

[comixnut]

Hey G that looks pretty cool man! You should post more of the stuff you do at school

[ImaGEEnation]

yet another speed painting while watching Seinfeld! That show rocks!

Yeah, I might PJ...but most of the work I did are just too big to scan! :wtf:

[FightingSeraph]

Damn dude, you have some impressive stuff at the moment.

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks bro! Just trying is all...:)

[ImaGEEnation]

A piece I did awhile back, just a simple 'Good vs Evil' kinda thing. Was planning to sleep in today since, I've been waking up early all week...but the man next door been coughing all morning from smoking too much crack! aaargh!:upset:

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey guys! These are just something I did a few months ago. Waaa gotta practice more! :lifedrawing:

[Cam Sykes]

grats on the intuos 4. HEy you cheated some of this is old heheh.

With those greyscale portratis in your latest post, I think it would be benificial to be more careful about where you place your speculars (brightest values). Try starting out with real dark values like 70-80 and work dark to light. then can add in darks where you want more focus, as well as with the brights. If you look at life, things rarely get that bright.

I'm gonna paint some portraits speedys now so I can show you what I mean.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Ahahah that naruto drawing was kinda funny, but seriously, lay of the manga dude, that stuff will kill you.

-E

[Imaginary]

A lot of cool stuff in here, like that piece with the large bug... monster thingy. :D Do as Mischevious said btw, manga won't get you anywhere, trust me. Drew that kinda stuff for years without really getting anywhere. :O

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks guys! I feel welcomed now hehe! Yeah, no Manga is something that will always be a part of me. That's how I started with art. But, I get what you guys mean by your comments, Thanks! I was only doing them for fun haha! More to come tonight!

[ImaGEEnation]

Some figure drawings, from posemaniacs and life.
Sometimes drawing feet, hands etc get pretty tedious...so I try to make it more interesting. Meh, just something to keep me learning while having fun at the same time. :lifedrawing:

[Hai]

Got some pretty sweet linework going on here, man. I feel like your digital paintings get a little too saturated, though. Keep going!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hai Thanks, man! Yeah, I'll work on it. I think my screen is messed up! Somehow it looks desaturated on the web in comparison to my PS screen haha! I suck! :p
I'm working on my 'Idol' tribute coffee table book, for school. I'll post it up as soon as I get it done sometimes today or tomorrow. I hope...:assspank:
Anyway, another quickie...I really need to paint more often!!! :ore:

[ImaGEEnation]

Coffee Table tribute book cover project. Finally done! :drinkup: Damn you back!!! Aaargh!

A tribute I did for one of the most influential person in the art world. This is my homage to the legendary, Katsuhiro Otomo. I tried not to get to much reference for this piece, rather I used my memories as much as I could. Although, i did watched 'Steamboy' and 'Akira' a few days ago hehe! In the picture I tried to incorporate all the major characters in his animations. And that is my take on Otomo himself as a cyborg of some sort haha!

This is only the line art (slow poke). I'll post the finished piece when it's done. Take it easy guys!:oneye:

[Cam Sykes]

the homage piece is looking real nice so far. My only suggestion at this point is to correct the japanese in the background.

If you want to make an authentic tribute it'll help to use the correct japanese because otherwise it just looks arbitrary. Reading it now it doesnt say anything. I don't know alot of japanese but I'm sure that is just jibberish.
I recognise steamboy but you've made him look alot older, I know you didn't use reference but if you want to make it accurate you may as well.
I know reference can slow things up when working ona piece and can make things too contrived, but now that you've worked out the compisition and context, might be worthwhile to touch things up with reference now.

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey Cam, Thanks man!
Yeah, I made Steamboy to be like that, 'cos I liked the Older look, Otomo drew on the Director's Cut edition DvD cover. But, yeah I can understand why you'd think like that otherwise, he is a 'boy' after all haha! Oh the Kanji actually says, 'dreams'. It's not really the fonts I'm gonna use, this was just a mock up to see where things would go composition wise. Yeah, I'll be doing the calligraphy myself once coloring is done. Back to work for me! :lifedrawing:

[ImaGEEnation]

10 mins life painting done in Corel painter. I really enjoy Corel. Hope to get it one day. A couple of proportion problems. Need to get use to life painting :lifedrawing:

Also, my first ever CHOW. A pretty rushed job, 4- 5 hrs. I had too much assignments and a commission to do, But the topic was too good for me to ignore. The idea came from a ghost that I saw when I was younger. Scarred for life!!! :\ C&C always welcome!
Cheers!

[ImaGEEnation]

After I dropped my gf at the train stn, I decided to catch a bus. So I did some sketches while I wait for the bus... then I realised that I was at the wrong bus stop! waaaaa! No wonder my bus never came! :rocker:

These were done at Circular Quay.

[ImaGEEnation]

Yeppersz! Quick figure sketches! :lifedrawing:

[comixnut]

dumb arse! hahahhaha .. aaaaahhhhhh if only i had not done the same not to recently! Freaking waste of a perfectly good half hour. :D LOL

Those look great Gee, i love the sketer kid great movement and your little guys as well! Quick go check out dee's thing i just posted! :P

[ImaGEEnation]

Did these during lunch. :yayca: Man, if only I can stay up all night and not feel sleepy the next dat...

[ImaGEEnation]

My entry for this week's CHOW.

Somehow, every time I submit any artwork on the net, they come out to be desaturated grrrr...!!! I need to pay more attention to values and try to be faster. This piece took me like 12-15 hrs! I'll try my best to enter CHOW every week, depending on how busy I get. I learn a lot from it.

Does anyone know or have any link/s to making great lighting? ( like the bow and arrow I did ) C&C are welcome! thanks!

[Jamie Romoser]

Cool sketchbook you have going here
Keep it up -Omerta

[ImaGEEnation]

Omerta- Thanks bro. I'm gonna check your SB now! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Just some value studies before starting on school work. Reffed from photos and imagination of my gf...
It's the best when it's raining outside while doing some art. :lifedrawing:

[erik-jan v/d schuur]

hey nice work !!
i like the line drawing with the robot girl going over to all kind of
things.. and i like your chow your getting better in digital work
ill vote for that one!

[ImaGEEnation]

'ej- Thank you. yeah, I'm doing my best to be better in digital paintings.

Meh, was doing anatomy studies..then became this;

[ImaGEEnation]

My Prawn Bike. I chose prawn because I hate them (allergy) and because they have cool legs. Yeah, kinda planned to pick these two items, so I'd have fun drawing them. Did this with felt tip pens and ink wash. :blahblah:

[comixnut]

Absolutely awesome! I love it love it love it! How did you scan them Gee? i gave up on them today and was hoping to do it at tafe somehow with the colour photocopier!

[ImaGEEnation]

Comixnut- Thanks, man! Oh, mine was done in A4. Yours was in A3, was it? I just scanned it in. And cut around it in PS, then just kinda combine them together haha. That's it. :)

[ImaGEEnation]

Billboard...:lounge:

[Mitze]

good stuff love your pencil work.

[ImaGEEnation]

Mitze- Thanks a lot bro! Just trying my best...:android:

Just a couple of sketches. Might work on the chick (gotta work on the weapon), for later project.

[ImaGEEnation]

Was feeling pretty meh, down and lazy today. But, after going through a few SB and especially Bumskee's and Algenpfleger's SB, I got freakin' motivated! :rocker:

This site is the best site I reckon! It always makes me feel like, I need to work even harder when seeing other people's sketchbooks here! Woo hoo!
I've wasted too long at devianart which is now I think getting kinda lame. Anyways, here's another batch of 60 seconds drawings from posemaniacs.com... I need to draw more!!! :uzi2: Follow your dreams homies!:assspank:

[ImaGEEnation]

One of my phone. If I remember I'm gonna buy and apple tomorrow and do a paint of it...:davi:

[ImaGEEnation]

Decided to finish this sketch...damn, why couldn't I be more motivated during the day!? Now, that it's nearly bed time, I'm all psyched up about drawing grrr! :jawdrop:

[comixnut]

That billboard looks so cool! :D ANd how did you do the 60 sec one at posemanics, you timed it yourself? i know they have 30 sec ones but not 60 sec.

[ImaGEEnation]

PJ- Hehe thanks! Yeah, the even have 90 seconds poses. And countdowns, so it gives you 3 seconds breaks before moving on to the next pose. Just click on '30 seconds pose' and it'll give you all the options.

[ImaGEEnation]

Ahhh... more figure drawings, stopped when my pen ran out of ink bleh! Loomis' hand studies and random sketches. Yeppersz, did these while Seinfeld's on... Gotta love that show! :swepimp:

[ImaGEEnation]

Yoopsz! Got me an apple! :android:

[ImaGEEnation]

Decided to do a 25 mins SP... back to studying I go...!! :lifedrawing:

[Jushra]

Hey Gee, thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Check out this link (http://www.dhfa.net/Artiststatement2.html) for some good foundational information. It will give you a good format to ground yourself on. Be sure to focus on value and form first, and worry about color later.

Also, that morph illustration is sweet.

Cheers,
JH

[voraz]

Hi ImaGEEnation, nice stuff in your sketchbook. You have some good pencil drawings, but the digital stuff is still looking very artificial.
Keep working.
cheers

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks peeps for the comments. Will work harder.

Alright, I'm doing a 5 days web design workshop at school and decided to do a one a day Character Design during class. I guess it's just an excuse for me to draw, otherwise I'll get a massive headache from doing all those symbols! :steph:

Day 1
This dude's main specialty is that he is part nature, specifically trees. So, he can shift himself into a tree. When you think about it, you can do a lot of damage with a log haha!

Oh, can anyone tell me how to change the sketchbook's title?

[ImaGEEnation]

Day 2

One a day Character Design

Damn, so much things to learn in this web design stuff! Waaah! But, still I had to squeeze this in! Aargh! Hopefully tomorrow will be a bit easier. :android:

This Chicka is a crazy lil' bitch haaha! She goes around blowing things up! She also like taking a hot bath while eating papayas... mmmhh...papayas...!

Hopefully, I'll be able to upload all of them on a daily basis. If not then, oh well... next time next time! :D

[towy]

really cool line on paper! continue your work on digital it will be great too
thanks for post on my sketchbook :]

[Karein]

Nice to see another Sydney-sider around here lol. Great sketchbook dude, I really like your pencil works, they are quite strong. Keep up the good work :)

[ImaGEEnation]

Towwy- Thanks, man! Hope to get a spot up there just like you! haha I got a long way to go though! :D
Karein- Yeah, it's always good to see another Aussie talent, hope to learn from each other.

Day 3

One a day character design

Alright, I don't want to lie but I couldn't do 5 characters during the web design workshop, it was just too full on! But still, I want to finish my plan, so I'll still do the characters. The last day, didn't really go according to plan, the teacher neglected me all day and helped other people! Meh, fuck it I'm gonna try and figure it out myself!

Yeppersz! I love drawing mecha characters, so decided to draw this fella. An ex soldier with a kind heart. Kinda inspired by Appleseed. Didn't do a thumbnail for this one, could've been a bit better, but I still like the result.

I hope to fill up this SB to at least 8 pages before the end of the year. I hope! :D

[Jovian M]

I def dig your pencils, the most. Keep up the studies. C:

[ImaGEEnation]

Day 4

One a day character design

Thought, I do a monster looking character. So, next would be another totally different character to the other four.
Yeps, was watching 'Seinfeld' while doing this. Oh, I also just bought season 2 of 'Curb your enthusiasm', definitely worth watching. Freaking hilarious!

[Cam Sykes]

hey mate, the tree-arm dude is mad. I'm redoing the website today. Will add some of these to your sketches section. Gotta do some characters too, just been doing studies last few days.

[ImaGEEnation]

Camske- Thanks, buddy! yeah, was hoping to learn a lot from the web workshop, so I could help a bit with our site, but seriously the teacher didn't help out that much! Keep drawing, dude!

Anyway, not much here, been hanging out with my girl for a whole weekend and didn't draw much except for her portrait while she's watching TV. And my process from a thumbnail to a layout of something I'm working on. Feeling rusty from that web workshop, gotta get back to the drawing book! :harbl:

[comixnut]

so much HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIR in the naughty area.... can't... look.... awaaaaaaaaaayyyyy...... ghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

[towy]

really good update!
i like the dynamic with differents plan on this comic page , maybe you can continue but it's good like that too, really interesting, the girl is really cutie too : >

[ImaGEEnation]

PJ heheh yeah he need to shave!
Towwy Thanks, mang! Always good to hear from you!

Anyway, decided to put the characters together. Will upload more tomorrow!:madchef:

Been watching a lot of MJ lately. Really sad that he's gone...

[comixnut]

OH Lord, NO! I swear you make him shave and i am NEVER dropping back in here again, you hear?

They look good all in the same page Gee. Make sure you enter the Newborn contest too man!

[ImaGEEnation]

More sketchies....

[ImaGEEnation]

Did this sketch while taking a break from doing a storyboard.

Guys, I need help with changing the little icon/avatar for my SB. Can anyone tell me how? :D

[ImaGEEnation]

CHOBE the popcorn head boy

Is there a big difference between laptop and personal home computer's screen resolution? I use a laptop and seems like everytime I upload art on the net they looked really desaturated. I had to duplicate this layer and made it really saturated to make it even! Aaargh!

[Kidda]

Hi, great pencil work. Just love this. Also your Prawn bike stole my attention, good job on that and with the billboard too. Looks incredibly effective. Keep up with those figures, they're coming on nicely. Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook. Looking forward to more. :)

[ImaGEEnation]

Been doing a lot of character studies and thought I'd take a break and do some perspective drawing. :ilaekae:

Still work in progress. Any C & C is appreciated.

[Cam Sykes]

the saturation is colour profile settings. nothing to do with resolution. should be able to find more info about it on google. ideally you want to be sure your color profiles are the same on both your desktop and laptop to coordinate the two. The contrast ratio of monitors can vary also. I know you have macs so use the monitro calibaration tool to try and get it right. If you wanna get it prefect you gotta get one of those devices likea huey but doing it by eye is usually fine. I like to test it by getting a well prodcued photo usually of a person and use that as the becnhamrk. Uually any inconsistencs will jump out on skintones which is a good test.

oh yeah i gotta do some enviros. characters are too fun sometimes.

I like the rendering in post 69.

[ImaGEEnation]

Cam- thanks, yeah character's too fun! :D

School work
Key frame storyboard for Mighty soft bread.

To be honest I didn't learn much from the teacher, just seems like she goes around the bush...:ilaekae:

[comixnut]

Gee, dude absolutely killing it! That CHOW and and storyboards just rock! Any chance you would like to share how you did the storyboards? i would love to steal it for mine! ;P

[ImaGEEnation]

Colored version

[Emil_J.]

I really like your pencil character concepts! however it seems like your digital skills are not as developed as your pencil skills. Perhaps you could focus on digital for a few weeks ?

[ImaGEEnation]

fumble Thanks for checking me out, yeppesz working on it, mang! :lifedrawing:
Final

[ImaGEEnation]

Diggin' the new SF look, so decided to try it out. :steph:

[ImaGEEnation]

Had a wicked day yesterday with the Sydney Crew workshop! :D Thanks to Adam for organising it. Met a lot of talented artists and learn some new things.

Anyway, just some sketches for the day. Not much to show,really. I'll upload more tomorrow hopefully.

[vardoburrito]

#28 light play - nice
#29 nice and simplified lines ... [come's with practise] most of mine are all over the place. :P
I appreciate the process steps mate.

oh and hello from Melbourne. Hi.

#39 oh hahaha, that's sick Hale. My head transform food into food, but shrimp to bike ... ooooo, i got to try those now. Awesome! Awesome!

I've still to do any type of creature design. This sb is a good push.
Tandy1000 has a few good lookin ones too.

The Otomo banner, commission? A very nice.

A few of your characters have normal lengthed legs btw. :P

Sick lines man ... awesome awesome.

[ImaGEEnation]

Dwardo- Thanks, buddy! Good to hear some feed back from another artist! :D

Anyways, some Loomis studies before heading to bed!!!:android: And a couple of life drawing. Back to school tomorrow!!! WOO HOO!!!

[ImaGEEnation]

More sketches from my new moleskine :D yeppersz, I bought 2 so, I decided to use one for studies and one for whatever drawings hihihihi!

One speedpaint while waiting for my wifey... I kinda broke the rule, wasn't supposed to do any digital 'til next week! I feel like I should spend a few weeks just focusing on my digital works.

I want to be a great artist, so if you guys have any critics please let me know! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Waaah! Haven't posted in almost a week! No excuse! Anyway, some sketches from school :D

[comixnut]

oooooh scales! looking good so far man!

[ImaGEEnation]

Working on my digital. Give me some pointers people! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Monster mask concepts.

The one I went with is the one with the body shot. Wooo this scanner is better than the one I have at home!!! A la la la la long ala la la la long! :D

[Sublimus]

Sweet sketchbook here, dude!

I really like that billboard you did. Seems like you have a good handle on those mediums.

[Oscar Austin]

Dude first i would liek to thank you for the Comment on my SB :), And i secondly I think you are a very talented artist. You seem to have a great grasp on everything atm, your line work is fanatastic and you colour is great. The sketches are sweet with the anatomy and figures. You character designes seem very polished and varied and your environments give a great sense of atmosphere, For the environments i would love to see a darker, less colourful kind of scene, somehting out of a horror film king of thing. Your persepective is greate too. All i can say is keep it up your progress is fantastic.
Keep it up man Its cool to see how you have progressed from first starting here, i am very much planning to follow in your footsteps of progress lol
Thanks OA

[ImaGEEnation]

Oscar- heh, thanks buddy. just trying my best is all. i still got a hell of a lot more to learn and this site is really a good place to get motivations and there are a lot of great artists I look up to and get inspirations from. Keep drawing dude, I'll be checking up on you. :D

Anyway, work in progress for school. Only have to do 2 pages for a children's story book. But, I'll try my best to do the whole 32 pages. Figured this would be a really good challenge. Meh, if I don't get to do the whole thing, then at least I tried right? :D more wips coming soon...

[JMonsterDesign]

Nice sketchbook so far, I think your pencils are the best here so far, Your digi's are cool as well but your pencils stand out more to me, prob because I love my pencilz..or ink, as it has no un do button haha. Keep going!

[chetanmani]

hi im chetan from india, i like the way of ur darwing the last one gestures re very nice, ill be going to melboure this month for my animation course in qantm college. i would like to know how is the animation career there and is qantm good for animation.

[ImaGEEnation]

Chetanmani-I'm not sure, sorry. I live in Sydney. I think, if you ask Dwardo go to my 3rd page and click his name, he'll have a better idea about it than I do. Oh, where's you sketchbook dude? You haven't got one yet?

[JMonsterDesign]

Cool man, I look forward to your sketchbook! Do not worry my friend I am sticking to what i set out to do, and that's to become a respected artist, right now its kinda hard since no one on CA takes me that seriously, but they will soon find out just how serious I am. Thanks, I am bookmarking your sketchbook! =-] BTW your quick figure drawings on page one are very inspiration, are they from pose maniacs?

Feel kinda drained right now, ill get back to it once i re cooperate from work, Damn FedEx...

[iceman478]

love the pencil work

[dusty imp]

Hey, you beat me to posting (I was looking at your sb when you posted in mine).
Promising stuff here, lots of variety. A little more focus on fundamentals though, perspective study looks good. If you haven't yet, I'd recommend you pick up rakugaKing by Katsuya Terada, lots of sketches there in a similar vein.

edit:
Holy crap, it goes for a $100 on amazon new! I don't think I payed nearly as much for mine a few years ago :/

[ImaGEEnation]

Jmonsterdesign- Thank you very much for your comments. Yeps, those figure drawings are from pose maniacs! :p haha free life drawing! Yeah, man keep going strong. Don't worry too much about what other people think, I mean you're not here to please people. you're here to be a better artist, right? Sure, we need criticism and advices. But, you know that YOU're taking your art seriously. That's all that matters I think. I'll check you out soon!

iceman478- Hey, thanks buddy!

dusty imp- hahah! Woo hoo I beat you! :p Thanks man! I love that dude's artwork! He needs to make more anime!!! Your digis are so freaking cool! Keep it up! :D

More progress on the children's book. I decided to make this as page 2. Page 3 is coming up...

[vardoburrito]

:teeth: nice ... although double take on the wall with the window. Unless it's a ceiling window, there should'n't be any sun on that wall.
Awesome Awesome. Soooo cute.

[ImaGEEnation]

Dwardo- You're right, thanks bud! Fixed! :D

Edit: page 2

Page 3

:D

[JMonsterDesign]

Hey man, Like the book so far! The only problem I see is page 3, correct the text.."always laughed at his Alexanders jokes" to: always laughed at his jokes. Cant wait to see more pages!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey man, Like the book so far! The only problem I see is page 3, correct the text.."always laughed at his Alexanders jokes" to: always laughed at his jokes. Cant wait to see more pages!

Jmonsterdesign- thanks bro! That's what I thought too! But, I just jot down whatever it says on the script. Might double check on it though. :D Yeps! More pages is on the way!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey peeps! :D

Meh, not much to show, but anyway a couple of concepts and roughs for my 'Archimboldo' inspired "face" project. Take a guess what the profession I chose. if you can't tell, then I guess I failed to deliver :p But, maybe guess when I post up the final. I'm in the process of inking the final and my teacher was picking on me the whole class, almost to a point where she wants to decapitate my left nut! Why? 'cos I didn't want to do the inking the way she wants me to! Arrgh! Pms!:drinkup:

[vardoburrito]

Doh!, I take that one back Gee, I wasn't thinking at all.
Dusty sunbeams it is, just totally flew past me head.
[Brighter floor where the light falls maybe [I need to do some study].
Sick updates man. Love the children's illustration. bahaha .. the comb is genius. ".. always laughed at Alexander's jokes." [grammar correction?]
Sick blue pencils. Sick sick sick! Hallo from Melbourne. farking freezin over here man.

[ImaGEEnation]

Dwardo- D!!! haha! It's all good, dude! :D At least you made me realised I had to double up the contrast on the wall! Thanks!
It's freezing here too!! bah! I'll check your SB now! See how you're doing!

Anyway, this is an old piece, but I liked the inking, so I'll put it up here. The proportion is kinda wrong. But, meh, I learned something from it.

[Oscar Austin]

The last ink piece is sweet dude, looks very polished and professional, Congratz! what do you think you learned most from creating it?
Keep it up OA

[Untouched24]

Nice sketchbook man, I'm liking it. Keep up the hard work.

[Cam Sykes]

the alexander work reminds me of south park, I grin everytime I look at it. The cardboard panels are a nice touch. There's a couple of problems witht he rendering, that i'll mention tomorrow, not a huge deal, just a few ligting and shadow inconsistencies.

[vardoburrito]

[Wingedchime]

I really like that first sketch and the design of the tree-like thing growing out of him.

[`king]

Hey-oh fellow Sydney dweller, were you by chance at that like minds collective thingy? :)
Your characters are awesome, and I really liek the way you shaded them :D
Looking forward to future updates!

j

[JMonsterDesign]

Hey man, last update looks real good, a suggestion would be try stylizing her legs just a bit, making them longer will certainly make her look more seductive! But I guess that's just a style gripe, anyways I good shiet! =-]

[ImaGEEnation]

Reason: No Internet! :p

Thanks guys!

Oscar Austin- Stick to the brief! :p haha I gave the teacher something he didn't expect!

Untouched24- Cheers Will do!

Cams- Cheers! but gonna work on them more. Not final yet :D

Dwardo- I love badonk kadonk

Wingedchime- Thanks, I'm working on this dude for a little story I got going actually hehe!

'king- Hey! Yeah, man! I was! Was a wicked night! :D

J- Yeah man! That's exactly right! Cheers, bro!

Anyways, some sketches for school, I have a lot of stuff, but no time to post!

thanks guys!

[Bergulf]

You have a nice comic book style and good designs. I like the latest character you posted. I think the construction and feeling of movement in the pose are very good. It looks like you have improved on those aspects.

[ImaGEEnation]

Bergulf- thanks a lot! :D

A quick sketch, thumbnails for end of year exhibition and the exhibition I imagined it would be. Speaking of Exhibition, I'm pretty excited about it! :) I'm planning on doing a 2 or 3 page sequential art as well as more character designs, while doing my best at school at the same time. Matt Jackson (from drawing book) did a talk at our campus which really inspired me. Anyway, back to work! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Just playing around of how I might display the characters for my portfolio.
Gotta make more now while watching South Park marathon! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey peeps! :D

Anyway, finish Illo of the head. Cheers!

[maxetormer]

good book man, thanks for sharing

[ImaGEEnation]

Maxotormer- Thanks a lot! I try! :D

For team CHOW.

I haven't done digital in a month or so and all i did is try and learn more by observing and learning more, it feels good. I'm still doing my best to get better at it! :D

Cheers!

[ImaGEEnation]

Alright, sleep timeeeeeee!!! :D

*yaaaaawwwnnnn*

[ImaGEEnation]

Yeppersz!

Been busy with school work and having no access to the net. Anyway, some stuff I did, while talking on the phone and from sketchbook! Thanks guys! :D

More soon!

[towy]

many style and good studies (the hands are great for exemple), really good work always, enjoy : )

[Holland]

Your anatomy and characters are coming along really nicely, your work is pretty diverse which is always great to see :)

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks for the feed back guys! :D

This week's CHOW Wips...

[ImaGEEnation]

Done deal!

:mod:

[ImaGEEnation]

Ok, these are quite old, like from middle of the year and beginning of the year and last year but I thought I'd post them, since the school has finally decided to get an A3 scanner. :D I hope that I improved somewhat...

[towy]

nice stuff, great update too

i love this jobs

[iphigen]

I like the little red riding hood work most, it's so full of movement :)

[ImaGEEnation]

Heh, thought I'd give C.O.W a shot since I finished CHOW and don't feel like doing my homework... but, for the next few days, I'll be working my ass off of assignments hihihihhihi:D

Thanks very much guys for the comment, always appreciated! You guys make me want to work harder! :lifedrawing:

[Cam Sykes]

The cow looks great man. I rekon you got a good thing going with that style and should really push and experiment with it more.
This is honestly my favourite piece I've seen from you.

[Izer]

Hey very nice sb, great line work(as i said before), that little red illu looks bad ass, also like the amount of variety throughout your sb. Your COW 155 is coming along nicely, looks good in color. Mind if i add yur sb to my sig?(i need to switch some out).

[ImaGEEnation]

Cam- thanks, buddy! Means a lot! :D

Izer- Thank you, again! yeah, go for it! It'd be an honour :D

[destinyapocalypse]

dude i love your last draw and painting job it is really too good

[ImaGEEnation]

Some school work...

Now things are really heating up... portfolio due in about a month!!! No worries, just make sure I have enough cash to make the portfolio itself! :D

10-15 mins speed paint and Ink work I did based on one of a classmate's sentence. I added more stuff to it to make it look interesting ( I hope). The sentence is written there...

Anyway, MORE WORK! :D

[ImaGEEnation]

Sketchbook...

:D

[mariusz]

Hello!

Luv you comics stuff, esspecialy this one:
http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=780170&stc=1&d=1253178718

all the best!

[miycko]

sweet sketches man :teeth: great stuff in your SB, keep it up

[Rustveld]

Thanks for dropping by my sketchbook. :)
I really like the different influences your drawings have, great variety of work, something different every time. Keep it up!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey guys! Not much here, in fact...only ONE. :P But, had to show this SB some love. I'm super busy at the moment, building my folio. I made 3 characters on Sunday to put in the folio and my goal is to have around 8 characters by thursday. I could post the 3 now, but I think it's better if I get them all in at the same time. This week's CHOW is actually helping me a lot with it. This dude was one of the one I made, but I doubt I'll use him for CHOW. Thanks!

[towy]

always really good stuff continue :]

[Cam Sykes]

oi don't hold out on me I wanna see the rest of the characters,

btw are you gonna be at TAFE tomorrow? I gotta go in to scan a bunch of stuff.

[ImaGEEnation]

A COW i never got the chance to finish. May work on it again when I'm free...
And a couple the characters I did on Saturday. My aim here is basically to come up with 'regular' looking people you'd see these days as opposed to fantasy or sci fi etc. I used my favorite pens and brush for the inking and the color was actually pretty fast. Anyway, back to work! :D

[DANKA]

Keep up! Nice shot with zebra-man and c.o.w. "insectoid"

[Cam Sykes]

Cool characters, and clean style. I don't know if I'd see a cowboy with guns drawn walking around though, maybe one day haha.
If you're going to finish that cow piece I rekon use ref for the skull, looks a too cartoony I rekon.
But yeah I rekon for portfolio do more characters like this, I rekon Advertising want stuff like that.
IF for games I rekon the style could work for mobile games becasue I think they use flash content. Looks kind of vector.

[ImaGEEnation]

Howdy peeps! The weather's been pretty cold lately here and raining like crazy... I'm a bit sick, sick during holiday = not cool. Anyway, these were done after I had lunch with my girl at a food court. Thanks! :yum:

[ImaGEEnation]

This week's COW entry and a page sequential art.

I wanted to do both CHow and COW and did the best I could to finish both, decided to approach it mostly using traditional media. The page is a practice for speed and storytelling, took around 10 hours.

Thanks!

[CavyWolfe]

Buahahaha, I'm loving the Little Red Riding Hood sketch. :D
Your inking style is absolutely amazing! Keep up the great work.

[Verehin]

Great designs dude)

[Cam Sykes]

the sketchbook pages are cool and the comic is looking good so far. Man I'm bummmed no drawing for me, but I'm at a point where I might just say screw it and keep drawing, cos my back still hurts when I'm doing nothing.

[ImaGEEnation]

Veherin- Thanks, dude! I love your style too! :D

Cam- Thanks, bro! yeah, it sucks, but still you need to recover man! Don't screw it up, it's healing, so just let it. keep drawing with your lefty! :)

CHOW entry.

[ImaGEEnation]

Feeling a bit suxness to the maxxesz at the moment. Need to work harder than this! Sometimes I feel like everything I do looks like turd...anyway, the only way to get better is to keep practicing I guess!

Anyway, Some stuff...

Life painting, book cover and doodle...

Cheers,
G

[ImaGEEnation]

NIBRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!:steph:

[towy]

Yeah that's when it's time to do studies.

[Diaforetikos]

Don't stop man. Keep it coming. I can easily see the progress. That means your doing somethin right. BRING IT!!

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey guys!

I've been a month or so since I last post here. Well, there's a reason and that is because I've been busy with my portfolio. Here are somethings that are in the folio. Now, all I can do is that someone would be interested in my work during our end of year exhibition whic h is next week. So, fingers cross! Need to make me some money! :P I'm also kinda busy with some concept work, it's pretty laid back at the moment, but I'm hoping to get a full time job soon. It's good to dream :)

Diaforetikos- Thanks man! If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be bothered posting here for a while, since I feel like I need to just focus on more study, but you kinda remind me that with the help of other artsists like yourself who'd give their critics about my work, then the better I would be. So, from now on I'm not gonna shy away even when I'm busy. I'll try post whenever I can :D

Ok thanks!

[towy]

nice update ; )

[ImaGEEnation]

Heyaaaa, heyaaaaaa hoiyaaaaa!

Right on! Time to update! somethings I've done for the past couple of months...Well, as I've said in my previous post, I've finally finished school! It's official! And working on a gig, can't really mention yet. It's still in the works, I just hope it'll just get better! :)
My plan is to create 10 finished illustrations by the end of January and will try and apply to a couple of places hoping to get a place as a full time concept artist or storyboard artist. I'll be hibernating at home for awhile, well since my girlfriend is overseas, it's a good time for me to sit down and really concentrate.

Anyway, these are a few things I did for my school folio. Thanks for looking!

[comixnut]

oooooh a gig? you got a gig? jealous mate :) good work

[ImaGEEnation]

CHOWS, concept and a little study from the net.

[north pole]

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks, North Pole! That's my Girlfriend! :D I'll tell her what you think...cheers!

[vardoburrito]

The battle (ink and horse man) I like. The hind legs of the horse could be referenced if not done so.

Dreams - Where is the head of the clinching man? I like the skin tones.

Your lines and comics I'm trying to reach, awesome man.
My figures aren't always balanced, when I do pencil and paper, but a quick vertical line should help a bit.

Zombie is funny. Post 145, sweet lines. hmmmph!

[ImaGEEnation]

I finally bought me a moleskine as a reward for myself finishing school! And damn this thing is super awesome! So as soon as I bought it, I went straight into it! So, these here are just random sketches from the park watching people playing chess, from the art gallery and just paling doodling around...I'll try and post every page from the book once a week and see how it goes...meh, back to work now...

[Jamie Romoser]

Can anyone tell me how I can change/remove my poll? I forgot how I even put it up there! :P Thanks!

[B-Man]

I like your works but whats up with the poll?

[ImaGEEnation]

Thanks man! :) I want to take it down, bcause I've got stars now...I put it up because I wasn't getting any rating and I want to know what others think so I could improve. But I dont know how to take it down... :( Help me if you can?

[ImaGEEnation]

Happy New year all! :D

This year's been good so far and has kept me busy and I hope it'll be like this for a long time! :)

Here are some stuff I've done this year...mood boards for a TV ad and concept work for a short film. Also a few personal stuff...cheers!

[ImaGEEnation]

One hour studies.

Going to attempt to do this every morning, no matter how busy I am. I hope.

[Mr.Alamo, C.]

digital stuff- without idea it is like babymess,you must work with colors,to improve deep of field.

[ImaGEEnation]

Been busy with work but I still do studies etc, but they're not all that great to post and just can't be bothered to scan them all in haha! So these are a couple of pages from my moleskine, characters of mine and an old CHOW.
I haven't had enough free time to do personal work, I'm really eager to do something very 'digital' since I know I need to work on it. Anyways, any comment is apreciatted.

[ImaGEEnation]

CHOW and a piece for an upcoming exhibition in May.

[Asterisks]

[ImaGEEnation]

Hey guys, Thank you for the feedback!

Anyway, this is a CHOW piece I did a couple of weeks back. Did this one with a ballpoint pen, my sister got me but wouldn't tell me where she got it from :wtf: mmhh...and also a page of a comic I'm working on, should be ready for the comic con in June. Been working on a couple of stuff, but not allowed to show them just yet. Thanks for looking!

[AustenFM]

Hot damn, looking great lately. I'm especially impressed by your Robin Hood and Mystic Gunslinger pieces, you've caught onto something awesome these past few months.

Your anatomy is looking solid, and i like the weight and action you put into your characters. I'll be back for more!

[Vloth]

Talking about improvment since the top of this page. Dude, you've stepped forward. The Robin Hood piece looking fab, great composition and and background. thumbsup!

[the ANGRY filipino]

Dude! If I were to sum up the improvements I see here now..it would be like a giant hand slapping me in the face and knocking me over !
I am very impressed by how much you have levelled up!
Great work man!

[ImaGEEnation]

Been a while...:assspank:

[tigerthelord]

Amazing SB!

Long time no post! -__-

Just been busy with work and other stuff. As well as doing storyboards I'm currently working as the artist for a comic called , Forced Hand. www.forcedhand.com if you'd like to check it out.

Anyway here are some stuff I have hanging around the laptop.

A couple of concept stuff and comic work. Also a piece I did to raise some money for the terrible event in Japan a couple of months ago.

Any comments is always welcomed! Cheers! G

[ImaGEEnation]

A couple of studies. Limiting it to 30 - 40 mins each.

Cheers!
