Mohzart's Sketchbook of Concepts

[Mohzart]

Im Moh, and I'm 24 (2009)...Im lazy but I love to create nice pretty pictures.

Anyway, my sketcbook is mainly for characters but will have other designs as well.
I will be updating daily (when possible) and I hope to improve a lot faster this year. So with all your critiques and help im sure I can manage that :)

Main character concept:

Trying different approaches to the armour design and colour... Fail!

Anatomy is an issue with me. But I am studying as I type this. Should get better hopefully sooner than later!

[Mohzart]

realy need to keep on studying anatomy.... I'm losing my knowledge!!!!

[polydrawer]

some pretty nice designs you have here.
I like the way you paint your reflections in the helmets

keep it up!

[the ANGRY filipino]

hell, these look bad ass!
Good work man!
although, as you said it yourself, you need to do more anatomy studies.
But damn, these are good!
some stars from me!

[MacTire]

Really nice stuff here Mohzart! Really liking those armour studies and those shooter game shots!
I agree with you regarding anatomy, however I believe you might want to watch your perspective aswell. In some places its a bit hard to read and things appear flatter than I imagine you want them to be.
Keep up the good work!

[corza334]

Really nice stuff, Love the samurai's :)

[Mohzart]

polydrawer - Thanks

the ANGRY filipino - Thanks for the stars :P I'm working on my anatomy at we speak actually. More Met art for me ;) ha!

MacTire - Indeed im not so well with prespective either. I understand them but not enough I think. :) Thanks. Oh n PS! MacTire just sounds like my surname Mukhtar but a lil bit different :P

corza334 - Thanks :)

[Turnips]

Great stuff. I love the chunkyness of your characters, they look like they could take a lot of damage.
Some of the work I can tell you've taken plenty of time with are stunning!
Work on the issues people have mentioned and you'll be away!

[Rotor]

Very nice armors. Great use of colours too.

[DStraX]

cool dude! but you should try to make some other themes aswhell.

[Mohzart]

Turnips - Thanks man. Im on the study train right now! lol I must relearn some of the things ive learnt so far. And get back to College thinking instead of quick pretty pictures. :)

Rotor - Thanks :)

DStraX - I shall make other themes also! :) Soon.

[Kapil]

Lovin the book, man. i really enjoy checkin out your armour designs, especially the helmets.

[RBeek]

weew :D what cool stuff you have here ! :) I can only wish to be half as good as u are, i love the way u see the light changing color in ur pics :)

so keep it up! Id love to see more :D

[zeo-x]

awesome power armors man.. :D gonna keep watch of your stuff.

[Mohzart]

Kapil - Thanks man :) I really wanna design a very memorable armour. Try to get an original design.

rogerb - Thanks man :D

zeo-x - Hehehe Power Armours are good ;)

[DrZ0id]

Some badass robocops u got there m8! :)
I'd love to see some more variation though, a female robo perhaps?

[Mohzart]

Hmm Heres a bit of a change in direction of what I normally do....just trying new things! ;)

Here I am studying fabrics...Not much really but i ended up studyin more about the creases

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/jeans.jpg


I dont usually draw female characters, but I decided to do quite a bunch of them! so heres the first character. As you can see shes a gypsy sort of character, Yes a lot of gold ;) maybe stolen?

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/gypsy.jpg

[Jamie Romoser]

Cool sketchbook you have going here.
Improvement can deffinatly be seen.
Keep it up man!

[JailHouseRock2]

Wow really impressive work man, great progress too,

Your characters are bad ass and the colours/rendering rock!

Awesome shit, please keep updating!
matt

[Mohzart]

OmertA - JailHouseRock2 - Thanks guys :) Ive noticed improvement too! just by lookin at my old stuff lol Just need to be faster :)

[Sepulverture]

- - - -

Good work here man! Quality stuff, you've done your studies for sure.

But...

Too much of the same designs over and over again = boring. Let's see a little variation in themes, shall we?

[Mohzart]

- - - -

Good work here man! Quality stuff, you've done your studies for sure.

But...

Too much of the same designs over and over again = boring. Let's see a little variation in themes, shall we?

My thoughts exactly :) ive started on something different earlier on and will be submitting the new material soon I should hope. I'm thinking of Steam-punk / post apocalypse kinda thing :) thanks man!

[Joce]

good armor designs!

[the ANGRY filipino]

lovin' your latest updates man! specially the jeans/waist study!

[Mohzart]

Another female character concept sketch. Final Fantasy / Souls Caliber inspired.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/knightessa-2.jpg

[Dissociation]

I love you.

You're drawing a lot of things I aspire to get to.
I started with a lot of anatomy first tho >_<
This is getting me itching to move ahead! I really love this sketchbook.
Keep at it, and draw from your heart! Don't ever forget to enjoy it :)

(but it looks like you've got that down pat :P)

Dissociation

[Mohzart]

Dissociation - Thats.... kind of you :) haha. Keep on drawing buddy :D And thanks!!!

Ok, ahhem... Heres another lady, but Im not quite sure what theme she should belong to. I added a pet of some sort that is either a big wolf or a dog, but I prefer the Wolf to be honest...Just because they have the most evilest eyes ever. Any ideas would be cool :D Thanks dudes!!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Untitled-1-4.jpg

[Tangleworm]

Your rendering is fantastic. You've also got an excellently developed style. Would love to see more.

[Mohzart]

UPDATE:

Studying the colours and which combines easily. Also made the wolf have the same colour to relate to the character. Blue Eyed wolf? nice :) Blue Eyes Blondey, Nicer ;)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Untitled-1-5.jpg

[Mohzart]

Rendering update, hmmm i suppose its just a test. Wolfy looks a bit fluffy.....

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Untitled-1-6.jpg

[Raiderukkus]

heey! i like ur characters dude!

[Verehin]

sweet stuff!
I like designs!

[maeshanne]

nice work, like your armour designs

[Mohzart]

UPDATE and finished. No time to mess with her more. Need to move on...

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wolf.jpg

[destinyapocalypse]

yeah dude you are doing good this job i like your paintings

[KromNz]

fantastic desings man! and superv rendering.
Lovin your sb! keep posting :)

[Mohzart]

Studying colour. And breasts..... perhaps.

[MacTire]

Liking the matching mad blue eyes on this last design!

[Mohzart]

DOMINANCE WAR IV:

Demon Prince character development

First sketch for my Demon;Just a sketch of an idea of what he will look like; Obviously demonic characters should look evil and blood thirsty. Demons are sort of mischievous so I gave him a bit of a cheeky grin to give him a psychotic attitude.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/prince.jpg

Side view and what his tongue looks like.
And an epic fail attempt on the front view of his face...

I share your pain when it comes to anatomy, but Omg, despite that your work is sooooooooo awesome. Keep it up I so look forward to your next post man!!!

[Mohzart]

Muscle study!

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Muscles.jpg

[Max Challie]

I like some of your designs. You'd really benefit from life drawing.

[Mohzart]

I like some of your designs. You'd really benefit from life drawing.

Dammit! those robot designs are awesome! Simply awesome! And your demon prince sketches are a delight to look at!

[Mohzart]

Its been a while since I last updated.

I wanted to create a character I had in my dream the other day. It was quite odd and possibly nothing that I would design myself.

Here is a sketch of the character. I called him Pow Blader, but he ended up looking like a Syth so I called him Darth Blader instead :)

http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss88/Mukhtar_z/PowBladerview.jpg

Verrrrry nice work here Mohzart!! Great robot and character concepts!! Awesome stuff!!
Keep up the good work!!

[papervampire]

you have a very nice sense of design good work mate!

[Mohzart]

More Concept Art now. Trying new techniques and stuff. :) so far so good

http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss88/Mukhtar_z/Dropship.jpg

I always liked the idea of walking through smoggy environments. especially in a post apocalyptic world.

http://i564.photobucket.com/albums/ss88/Mukhtar_z/post3copy.jpg

[paran0id]

Yup, the demon was great!

[vayne108]

Awesome, awesome updates, I love the hooded character he turned out sweet, and I also love the first painting in post #75. Just Keep on rocking!!

[jeremygordon89]

Wow, I'm pretty impressed. These designs are lookin good, keep it up, and don't stop studying stuff like anatomy, color theory, lighting, etc. You're showing improvement

[Mohzart]

[AK86]

some real badass work here, mo!

seriously, I think alot of your design work is quite intimidating.

hope the third year worked out for you.

have you had any luck with companies?

keep it up

Andy

[Tom van der Linden]

Great stuff here, and some nice variaton (3d, 2d). Keep it up!

[Mohzart]

Trying something new. Alien designs :)

This guy was too green. Too stereotypical.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wraith1.jpg

So, Next step. Just Black :)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wraith2.jpg

Now Armour Design. Basically I wanted to add sort of a medieval, barbarian type of armour that fits in a Sci-fi universe.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/WraithAssault.jpg

Some Portraits of the alien follows. Got some inspiration from Frank Frazetta! :D

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wraithportrait3copy.jpg

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wraithportrait.jpg

Ok, here's another Concept for a different type of alien. More thinner and flexible.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/WraithStealthcopy.jpg

I didnt want him to have armour, so I gave him a sort of a "bondage" type clothing ;) lol Voldo style.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/ideaconcept-1.jpg

Aaaaand a quick sketch for the Back design, too.

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Wraith3.jpg

And if you wanna watch a sped up recording of me painting the Above, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DhDZRwNrExI

[keigo]

Wonderful design there man! Especially your mechas/armors, your works really inspire me to train more on drawing that. I find it sometimes hard to design good looking mechas/armors.

Keep on the good works!

[Fregy]

Nice forum so far. My most favourite picture is the one with runing guy with red blades. Love the action, looks like he is going to run through my LCD every second. I just had to use it as a wallpaper, like it a lot. Great job :)

[Meralynn]

I just love your design work! Everything has really great outfit and character design to it. You have a really good concept of form. Your choice of colors are really great, and so is your use of atmosphere. I love the concepts.

[Mohzart]

Here's a commission I have done for a friend. It's fictional part of the Halo universe featuring a desert ops unit.

I didnt want to over work this one so I made a very atmospheric and dusty background. Crits welcome!!

Cool stuff man! My favorite is the yellow one with the green lights in #10!

all the best,
Mariusz

[cout<mecha]

Stunning job on the shading and color on this update. Trying feeling the character a bit more before going foward tho. If you are satisfied with the scale and persona of the head, you wont allow for perspective mistakes when you go for the chest volumes...nice job here.

[Dahami]

I actually like your stereotypical green reptoid alien, but the black one is cool too! Keep it up.

[Mohzart]

**Colour study**

I'm trying to an accurate colourisation of the umbrella's shade on the character and cant really manage it. It's hard enough trying to find reference materials and cant really experiment in reality right now. No sun, no blue plastic sheet...

By all means please construct me with your criticism.

nurraymjo - Thanks man I shall!
midknight523 - Yeah I did a few life studies at college but I was lazy.. I really want to do more classes.
OmertA - Thanks :D
Strassenpenner08 - Thanks! I dont usually do props but its fun. The images at the top are just close ups and simple explanations for the joints on the computer screens.. I added those for my friend who's going to model this.

!!!WIP!!!

I'm gonna try to update this sketchbook daily...I need to improve super fast!

Very cool stuff, really like the personal armors, have you ever seen stuff created by Makoto Kobayashi (http://aswars.tripod.com/)? take a look at the AS Wars sections, old stuff but inspiring and may also prompt some more ideas.

Keep on going!

Keep on going!

Very nice man! thanks for that I really really appreciate it :D:D:D awesome!

I love the intricate detail of the patterns in your characters' costumes and armours.

I love the intricate detail of the patterns in your characters' costumes and armours.

Thanks! I love to put in those small details, even if they are hard to see. I suppose it gives them more life :D

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Nice sketches you have here. I would though, make the argument for bolder brushstrokes and working the colours up from the begining, overlayed colours tend to become a bit broing and tend to rely to much on the light dark contrast. Try it out mate

oh man those are really pro stuff. I love the robot designs and agressive colors. Very nice

[Cold]

Well, keep cracking on those styles, it suits you and shows cool flair. Last one is nice design, should title it with hunter and slap it on evolve:P .

[Elophant]

awsome stekctbook ... computer terminal looks awsome!

hahaha i havent done anything for the hunter challenge in ages...

[huhucg]

A design of your machine is really great. Looking forward to share their knowledge with you.

[Lyndsay Harper]

I was just looking through your first page and i noticed that almost all the legs were just like 1% off.

it was a very weird to notice but its definitely there for me.

[Mohzart]

huhucg - Thats great. Machines are always good to talk about ;)

Lyndsay Harper - just 1%? I feel theyre off a big deal lol I'm no good with legs. Especially feet! Oh..I cant draw feet very well...for me its kind of hard to set them on the ground perfectly. I am still in need of great improvement :(

[Mohzart]

Im liking this soldier. But I think Im going into detail too early.
Im aiming for a post-apocalyptic atmosphere focusing, obviously, mainly on the character and it's design. I was looking at AS WARS and I've sprung up some nice ideas at the start. Now I'm starting to think back to Nausicaa of the valley of the wind's characters, and hopefully get a nice 80s japanese art going on.

Some ideas thrown around for DSG

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/aincient.jpg

[Mohzart]

So, my idea is the kid got bullied and went in his father's Golem/Robot stable and activated one of his favourite guardian robots.

Man, awesome armors. I'd love to swee what you'd do with your rendering skill and some anatomy studies under your belt.

[Mohzart]

Man, awesome armors. I'd love to swee what you'd do with your rendering skill and some anatomy studies under your belt.

Thanks man.
I hardly show any studies on here...That's because I hardly study them lol
I do the occasional anatomy study but never seem to continually do it. I lose interest.
As for the rendering, I dont really know how to show them :P I could probably show the brushes I use and references but thats all I guess.

[Razorb]

keep these regular updates goin and im sure u will improve in no time mate ;P btw i like the story in the last pic! : D v cool

[Mohzart]

Ah, the styles kinda vary evreytime I draw something new. I cant keep them lol But I will try in future. Thanks man :) I'll keep on posting forever...

Onto the Golem and his new master...

I am having trouble with his face. I hate it... *smack*

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Untitled-1-10.jpg

The Golem is coming along nicely I suppose. Need to do more workkkk

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/Untitled-2.jpg

I think I figured out why the boy and the golem were like they were from 2 separate paintings and clashed a whole lot...
The golem reaching for the sword kind of linked the two worlds together, and now we have progress :)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/botcopy-1.jpg

Thanks. The picture does seem to be brought together better than before, but I dont know, I get the feeling of something missing. Other colours? Maybe! but I wanted blues for this one, blue Golem, blue T-Shirted kid to show the good connection/relation etc...

Anyone with ideas by all means lay 'em on!

[Mohzart]

Im still stuck on this painting. something tells me im missing something. So im playin around in the background..

[Mohzart]

I couldve sworn that there was a reply here somewhere :S ... sigh...

[Leonor]

I can be harsh. :devil:

I love the idea of the last piece but the boy looks too cartoony. It would look better if he was more realistic. Try these references (http://www.fotosearch.com/photos-images/boy-looking-up-profile_2.html) or search an adequate one.

Not harsh enough! lol Thanks for the link though. but I do gree with you. I havent drawn faces that much, especially real ones anyway, and I havent practiced rendering them as often as I should. I'm a bit lost with that last painting... I think I should leave it for now and study some more.

[Lateman]

ah, your graycales and armordesigns are kick-ass. you got some probs with colors i see. (sunset version is much better) try to get a bigger colorpalettes into your works. blue istnt just blue. gray isnt just gray and red isnt just red. add more colors and coloured shadows. 1 rule: warm light - cold shadow, cold light - warm shadow. you ll make it ... keep posting!

I'm not sure if this was intentional, in the golem picture the kid's eyes are unnaturally big, and the golem's left arm is very short.

[Mohzart]

I'm not sure if this was intentional, in the golem picture the kid's eyes are unnaturally big, and the golem's left arm is very short.

Yeah the style of this was pretty much inspired by Fable's concept art. I wasnt aiming for realism.
And the golem has no left arm :S tis broken..haha

[James Warren]

I figured it was broken or something, it was just too obvious haha. You have some cool stuff in here man keep going!

[Colt Seavers]

You got some real talent man!!! ;) Saw your thread in the critics section, but didn't know at all what to reply, so I thought to myself let's have a look at that guys sketchbook instead. Well, here I am, lol!!!:mod:


Greets, Colt!!! ;)

[Mohzart]

Hey Man!Glad you joined the challenge...i wont be participating but im looking the awesome stuff there. Some great and fun sprites there...i really digg you entry.This is looking very kool.How you do this?

[Mohzart]

Hey dude! Thanks! I'm looking forward to making a few animations of this guy. First I need to find myself a good program simple enough for a noob like me :D haha

[digitalinkrod]

I remember a friend at work told me how to build an sprite from a concept but i totaly forgot how to do that:D
I really enjoy those arcade games such Darkstalkers and streetfighter.

[Mohzart]

Ah haha. This is my first Sprite... Turned out ok though! im happy hahaha. My friend just told me to set the brush to pen and I just went from there :S I hope I can make the animation part :(

[digitalinkrod]

But how you translate the high res image to the sprite size?

[Mohzart]

Ah you have to do it by hand :) takes a long time to do at first. I basically shrunk the high res concept down to about 120 pixel height and drew over it in another layer pixel by pixel...I dono if theres another way but thats a start for me heh

[digitalinkrod]

wow!Lots of work to build an animation sequence:D
looking foward to see this samurai animated:rocker:

[Krato]

you got some badass stuff in here mate

[Mohzart]

digitalinkrod - hahahhaa thats for sure!! I'll have to see if how it is at first. Havent found a program yet ...

[Mohzart]

wow great man, could u teach me some about ur paint strukture and rutin ? i would like to here how u working progress is...
thx for answer !!!

Hey thanks!
Umm my painting structure is mostly improvised. I dont have a set style or method. I go with the flow and whatever tools I find along the way then I use them if theyre useful to what I'm trying to paint. But I tend to focus on what matters the most to me in my paintings. Like metal textures and clothes, they need different brushes to get the right strokes..If there's anything specific youd like to ask go ahead.

[DesignNoob]

dont know to start with questions, man ur stuff is awesome. if u like to you can do a new work, and get me screenshots with the steps u doing. i would be real thanksfull for that. could be a small tiny work ust a head or full buddy with not that many details. just how u get the struktur in ur paintings. and for me much important how did u get the awsome renderings. and if you like to visit my sketchbook to see what im able to so you maybe can give me an good tip for my next level i SHOULD take ;)
all in all ur a hero man ;)

OK since I havent posted anything good for a few days I think I'll post something I decided to do in regards to my character designing AND Lighting. It's a quick thought process and the aim is to show some stages of how I work. Think of it as a simple tutorial :)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/1-2.jpg

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/2-2.jpg

I decided to go with a 'smart' looking character. Theres a lot of animes that inspired me to make this guy. Like Zangetsu from Bleach, Vincent from Cowboy Bebop: Knockin on heavens door, Aaaand CP9 Rob Lucci from One Piece.

Hey Mozhart! Some animation skills are really on display! What program are you using to put them together? Your concepting skill are nigh lacking either. Hope you don't mind me popping in! Would really like to see more anatomy studies here too, who are you looking at, Hogarth?

Thanks for popping in! for the animations, I'm using Photoshop :) It's really simple and easy to use. I only discovered it a few days ago so you can see how easy it must be! hehe. As for the anatomies, I rarely show my studies on here because I merge them with my character designs. So basically I study right before I design a character.
I havent really looked at many artists for that subject to be honest... I've only just recently picked up a book on Loomis and Bridgman. But I havent got the chance to study anything out of them... heh...
I studied some Da Vinci back in College though :)

[laxon]

Thanks for the quick tutorial :)

[Joce]

heck ya ur sprites are sick dude

[DazDaryl]

Hey man awesome stuff.

I would like to see a bit more interaction with you characters, as in characters interacting with each other or objects, they're all kinda just standing there with an in your face badass attitude; for example it would be nice to see a shoot out sequence, or some characters battling each other, some every day stuff would be cool to, someone using a computer, a conversation or drinking a cup of coffee. Draw out a story board or some panels from a movie.

I was reading an article about comics the otherday and they said they most of the time the problem with portfolios is that really great artists forget to focus on the more mundane aspects of life in their artworks, like people walking through the park and feeding birds. Portfolios full of "Hero Stances" just dont show the artists full ability to express emotion they said.

Go outside with your sketch book and observe humans in their natural habitat.

I'd also say your pigeon holing yourself with to much anime inspired coloring and construction, but that could also be your chosen niche.

Anyway your artwork is totally awesome, but i doubt you need me to tell you that.

[Mohzart]

I would like to see a bit more interaction with you characters,

Good advice there. I was thinking about this earlier that I never make my characters interact with anything like you said.
It's probably become a habit of mine as a, concept artist, that I create characters this way for clients. And what clients want is the general idea of the character and to be done in a short amount of time of course. So no fancy stuff is needed since the piece will go back and forth with feedback for change etc.

I will take in your suggestion though for future reference. I'll certainly try out some paintings with more interactions. As for the influence, my work is majorly fed off my own interests, and if it coincides with the clients then so be it. if not ill do my research on the spot and make the change :)

Thanks man! :D

laxon - Youre welcome :)
Joce - Thanks :)

Thats interesting :D I may do just that. Could do few versions of like during an attack, after the attack and maybe make it look ancient with the overgrowns and stuff :)

[Natzuur-JK]

I like the lighting a lot, and the overall feeling is very much like a level in a video game. Some minor crits, more like suggestions i have would be to under-exagerate the perspective for such a low shot angle. what I mean by this is the left and right lines could be placed at a closer angle to the more middle ground lines, and still achieve the effect that everything is tall, and your looking down. One other thing to consider is camera placement, while the viewing point is great on the z,x axis (depth and width), the camera could be placed higher on the y and still achieve the same effect you have currently while being more dynamic. Just my two cents.

Great SB so far man! Keep it up.

[Mohzart]

Im having some difficulty with lighting... the whole idea of Warm Light = cold shadow and vise versa is a bit confusing right now... maybe im thinkin too much into it!

just some lighting tests

WIP!!!!
just playin around with some BLOOD

[Mohzart]

UPDATE! BIAATCH WIP!!!!

My version of the last day on earth.

One of the Archangels, Azraeil (AKA Angel of Death), descends to Earth to collect all the remaining souls. There is a choice given to those he approaches, either submit or be taken. There are those who treasure their lives to try to escape death, even when it's right before their eyes, they still...run... Bad move.

Azraeil, like all angels, is created from light and holds his soul gathering blade 'Moute-Rouh'. Once this blade tastes even a drop of blood from a living being, their soul is immediately drawn by it and released to the heavens where they await their first judgment.

It was more impressive when he had his hand outstreched. I think you are overdoing it with the blood. His bloody hand and blade would be enough.

[wilkerson]

you said harsh crits so i'll try.
It looks like you're using the wrong brushes and your approach to lighting is a bit lacking.
I think for the wispy type things you need something very soft and fluid, with dodging properties. If he is glowing you need so use the right tools for that. some options include dodge brush, dodge or screen layer, glow effect on layer...Simply painting with a soft round wont do and be mindful of high contrast areas within the figure. I like the blade. the wings arent working so far, try a feather shape with high spacing.
the anatomy is mostly pretty good just a few things here and there could be adjusted.
the design of the character is good so thats a major plus.
with the environments avoid centered composition, ie symmetrical balance.
asymmetry=interest
You're tackling some difficult things so keep at it, you'll be fine.

So very true. This is the kind of crits I need. I was thinking of starting again and delete this picture altogether. The major problem is the composition right now. I think if I get rid of the smoke/souls coming out of the blade, the image would be more balanced. then my mind wont be so confused and clashing with what needs to be done.
I think I'll start again actually. I'm not happy with this at all :) Only the blade :D

Anyway thought id punch these in while im at it....just a bunch of randoms

Troll character thumbnails

[splintercannon]

you have some really solid drawing and painting skills. There's no doubt about it. Maybe you could try to switch it up and do something a little more cartoony for a different perspective.... but if that's not your thing, don't worry about it. Thus far, I'm really impressed! Keep it up!

[Mohzart]

splintercannon - Thanks man. I havent really tried cartoony. hmmm. But it's definitely on my 'to do' list :)

Polished No.11

You've been busy. I love the troll, and pretty much everything else.

[Enydimon]

Those thumbnails are looking pretty swank. What resources do you use to get inspiration for them?

[Mohzart]

Dahami - Oh yeah :) busy busy busy gonna be more busy tonight ha!

Enydimon - Thanks man :D. First off I ddint know much about trolls lol I just remember them in Labyrinth haha. I just used a range of paintings showing different versions of a troll. like Tree trolls etc... Deviantart is alright for those resources... I didnt know where else to look :P

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/wefewfew.jpg

[Mohzart]

No.1: Detective Sanshiro. With the cool looks and hairstyle, gotta be japanese ;)

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/cop1copy-2.jpg

[Mohzart]

No.2: this guy is called Aab, and hes a master in undercover work.

This one didnt really turn out good

http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c380/mohzart/cop2.jpg

[Colt Seavers]

Well, I like the characters nonetheless!!! :) The last one is a bit to narrow around the hip region and the legs are slightly to short, plus the baggy pants makes them appear kinda too straight, so you can't guess the legs' proportions that easy.

I could't have done it any better, but you asked for harsh crits, lol!!! :)

Btw, are there any finished cartoon stories of you on the net already?


Greets, Colt!!! ;)

[Two Listen]

This is really nice stuff man. I'd like to see some backgrounds for the characters, but admittedly, that's more personal taste in art than actual critique. They serve their purpose just fine as is.

You've got a good feeling for a lot of the basics and it really shows. You work well with clothing, too - something I struggle with a fair amount. That "No. 1" above is a really cool character, got a good flow to him.

Please continue posting your work. I'd love to keep up with it.

[Mohzart]

Colt Seavers - hahaha thanks for the crit! Good stuff. And the cartoon stuff, no. I dont make any :( I'd like to though! should be quite the experience. Thanks!

Two Listen - Thanks man! I plan to keep at it :) I'd like to add background into my character designs but I think I just got used to the habit of merely drawing the character in blank space haha. And I really enjoy drawing clothes. good drapery is needed! and of course, style ;) I'm workin on that one though.. heh thanks man!

[Razorb]

whats these ninja updates doin man! :D keep goin ! render those pics up more :)

[Mohzart]
