-----Gabriel

[Jane Radstrom]

Oh, fantastic! I'm a big fan of your style of face and rendering of it. I especially like the mood and coloring treatment in that last one.

[van]

Beautiful stylistic work here, man. Awesome.

[jrr]

hey thanks for the comments, gab, that picture is from 3 years ago when i was still in college, more work coming soon, tonight!

[endregan]

Hey nice updates. Like your style.

Dan dropped out ? I never saw him in, or post for that matter. He forfeited a long time ago ehehe.

[jrr]

http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/forum/spaceelevator4.jpg


wip, doodle

[Dahsramu]

beautiful colors and composition on that last pic! I really like it, even though its still a wip.

i'm guessing this painting has a theme of "escape"? I'm getting that impression by the expression on the woman's face (very well done, btw) and her body language (how she's leading the child).

Also, that theme is further strengthened by the progression from the foreboding dark areas that are surrounding the group on their left and right into the open field and pink sky in front of them.

the design of the robot is fairly ambigious right now, but it's just a "doodle" so i'm sure you'll get to it if/when you work on this some more.

one thing i dont like is the house in the bottom right of the picture. it's partially hidden and seems to be competing with the building on the mountain in regards to where the group is escaping to.

anyways, i really like your digital paintings and the soft yet confident lines of your most recent life drawings. i also remember looking through the illustrated blog on your website a few months ago. it's a really cool idean and was a lot of fun to read. youve got a really fun style :)

talk to u later.

And as Xia said, that last two is really great. Gonna follow your thread like a hawk. ;)

[Xpose]

You have an amazing talent! Your lighting is just superb.

[van]

Awesome stuff. I love the vibrancy of your colors. :)

[jetpack42]

yay! you've got some really nice things going for you. are you a pro?

[Crunch]

love your digital paintings...could you show a process piece sometime? you have great traditional paintings too...keep it up man. you rock

[jrr]

thanks for the comments folks, i'll make a progress thing for my next doodle, but there really isn't a trick to it, i just draw it how you see it sometimes i put some curves and fudge with the color alittle in photoshop. technique wise i do photoshop like i do with oil paint.

[jrr]

[Pichuerca]

Your digitals paintings are amazing... How you work?

Keep posting.

[jrr]

here's how i work, a color sketch
http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/forum/forestbot.jpg

then i start blocking in the colors
http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/forum/monkeybot3.jpg

i really haven't had much time on this one but eventually the back end will be covered with tree leaves, the monkey and the girl will be semi obscured by the leaves. though i haven't figured out how much to put in there yet. that's the fun part for me the deciding part.

[Xpose]

Thats Amazing!

[WillSchnevel]

That is so cool... I love the fact that there's a monkey in there. :)

[jrr]

http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/forum/monkeybot4.jpg
worked on it alittle more. more detail on her and the picture, started putting up the leaves, more light will come from the side.

[jrr]

yeah mike, i should have said, it's still an inprogress pic. someone asked for those before so i'm doing updates.

[jrr]

http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/forum/spidergirl1.jpg
based on sketch by a friend http://www.emohobbit.net

[I.was.ink]

cool progress on that green lady. I like the second w.i.p better cuz it seems like you're changing your emphasis from the girl to the plants. Which is fine if thats what you want. :)

I really like the nipple scratcher guy. What did you do to make that background surface btw? Did you scratch the acrylic once it dried?

-ink

[van]

Damn, man. This thread is always a foutain of inspiration. :) Loved the progression on the 'green lady'.

my star rating has been slowing going down.....

[Crunch]

hey man you have some really sweet stuff going on here. i first saw your stuff in the life painting thread...great paintings. your digital stuff is cool but i think if you rock some hard edges as well as the translucent soft stuff it will really bring your work out. and dont worry about the stars man....4 stars is good...its a drive to do better and really earn that last star...personally i think the big 5 star rating is handed out a bit too easily...you have alot of talent man keep it up.

[jrr]

http://www.jrtistic.com/images/junk/book/monkeybot7.jpg
