HI everyone!

Here are some speedpaints, moodsketches and unfinished stuff I did lately.
I hope you enjoy.:hatsoff:
Everybody got to do a spawn once in his life,lolll...:party:

[sinneart]

Hey wow, very nice opening to your sketchbook - and welcome to CA!:) Absolutely love the mood of the first one... and the anatomy concept sketch in the 5th is amazing. Hope to see more soon.

[gkrit]

[bouroune]

nice work man, i've already seen some of your stuff on skymonkey website, the first one with the king is awesome, show us more!

[PieMonster]

The atmosphere in those pieces is awesome!
Definitely looking forward to seeing more stuff from you!

[MIKETAYLOR]

awesome sketchbook. I like very much axe piece and the next. I want to do these kind of designs

[akabraille]

Everyone has said it already but the fact is the mood of the first piece is crazy amazing. I also really like the weapons especially that hammer with the spark you threw in.

[donalfall]

BAM! Welcome to CA. What an opening. If Spawn usually looked like that, we'ld all be into him. The centaur is really cool, best piece there. Top notch.

[Mbyle]

that spawn is just sick dude, nice start to the sketchbook!!!

[Hideyoshi]

[Okmer]

Wow,thank you very much for your kind replies!I really appreciate it!!!:teeth:

Rosen-Ice: Most of the time I use standard brushes and eraser in quite a nervous way.
Sometimes I use custom brushes I find here and there.
Sometimes I make my own if needed.
I take some photos of the material I need, take them back to B&W, and transform them into brushes, which I use with pression on.
But generally I try to not have too much brushes in my palette.


HIdeyoshi: Hey man!!!happy to find you here!Thank you!

Did another 2 speeds today.
Hope you like it.:hatsoff:

[Undeadartist]

nice work man your work inspires me! Keep at it!

[midknight523]

great colors

[cubesoflard]

Love your colors man. Thanks for sharing.

[Spreggo]

Wow, great work here - really good sense of composition... and such good use of color.
Following for inspiration.

edit - by good use of color, I mean it doesn't look like you are waiting until the end to pay attention to it. It's all vibrant and runs into the darks very believably. The colors look constructed, rather than applied... very refreshing.

[nooSens]

!!! Amazing concept art ! All seems me good !

[ArticusV]

Beautiful baboon on page1. you rock :D

[milu]

wowwww! excellent works!

[Okmer]

@Undeadartist : Thanks!flattered I can inspire you man.

@midknight523: Thank you!

@cubesoflard:Thanks :-)

@Spreggo:Thanks man.indeed I often try to apply my colors directly as you see them.trying to avoid as much as possible the pickertool and layermodes & stuff.

@T.a.i.v.a.s: Thanks man!

@ArticusV:Thank you, Apes rock :^^:

@milu: THanks Milu :-)
