Tibi 2.0 - the journey continues

[Timmy the Turtle]

Young and aspiring 18 year old, living in a tiny Romanian town. Constantly searching for little bits of understanding from his peers and big pieces of understanding himself, his journey continues... tatadadaaaaam! :)

[zhonked]

Very creative and beautiful pieces you have here! You definitely need to keep posting! :)

[Kasper_P]

That girl is amazing! Although I believe her head is a bit too high, if it should suit the face..

[Timmy the Turtle]

Equality72521: Thanks, dude! And a rollin' it will be :)

zhonked: Thanks, will do that :D

Kasper_P: Thanks! you're right about the head... and it's a little too big too! Thanks for the critique.. me needs it :dead:

[rubicante]

Very nice light and colours in your work, sir.

[Timmy the Turtle]

rubicante: Why thank you kindly, mister :D:D:drinkup:

Here's some hands and progress on the chow :)

[Timmy the Turtle]

And the chow is done... wish me luck =)

[FightingSeraph]

Goddamn, painting with gouache at 18!? Great stuff, and I'd like to see more weapon designs from you when you get the chance.

[Timmy the Turtle]

FightingSeraph: Hey, thanks! :) Yeah, i think i will do that stuff in the future too :) Here's a creature thing i'm workin' on :)

[Jaytea]

Really cool stuff you got here. Really liking those hand studies. Also, the way you render digitally is very nice. Love to see more!

[photosynthesis]

I'm very impressed. I would love to see some more of your work.

[zhonked]

I love the head crab looking creature with the food bowl :) Cute and scary mixed in the rare heavier scary than cute combo! This last piece is looking fun too, I hope you'll flesh it out a bit more!

[Timmy the Turtle]

2 pages :D
Shalite: Thanks, but i think i'm still trying to find a good way of rendering... :)

photosynthesis: Thank you! Check me out in the gallery section then :D Thanks!

zhonked: Yeah, the little one was for DSG, so i won't finish it Thanks! :D And here's the (maybe) finished city creepy creatures one :D

[SkyTheArtist]

Wow! Your style is so different...and I adore how you do backgrounds. :D Keep posting! I definitely wanna see more. ^^

[Fitzin]

Love those monsters you've just posted, You handled those warm colours well compared with the darkish tones.

[a la bapsi]

i've been seeing you all over these forums, so i decided it's about time i see your sketchbook. D:<
you've got great looking digital work in here. :D
i'd like to see more creatures!

[Timmy the Turtle]

thanks alot, SkyTheArtist

Fitzin: Thanks, but I'm workin' on varying my pallete, it's kinda costricted and stuff since it's just half a year that I actualy took colour seriously

a la bapsi: hey, thanks! :D and more creatures you shall see :)

Some gouaches on paper (the last one on canvas) :D

[zhonked]

Interesting choice of colors :) I really like the curved perspective on the first piece. Along with the colors it gives off a creepy, madness vibe. Keep it up!

[Timmy the Turtle]

zhonked: hey thanks alot! :) yeah, wanted to give it the mood of betrayal, world warping in depresion and grittyness of breakups and fucked up relationships :) (and if you look closely at "my" right arm, you can see a little heart between the two characters :D )

Here's a scan with photoshop magic :D

[Equality72521]

gotta stop by again and say i love your gouache styles!

[Timmy the Turtle]

Equality72521: Hey, thanks, man:D:D:D apreciate it :)

Here's an enviro (study from ref) rare one for me, but I gotta study the things I really suck at...

[Timmy the Turtle]

Here's a crappy picture (my trusty 5200 was all i had) of some gouache still life i did for a fund raiser... :) boring, yes :zzz:

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Some pretty neat stuff you got going here, but you seem to be blending thowards pure white, which makes things look a little flat, so keep of that, and you should be in good shape:) Good job so far!

-E

[Timmy the Turtle]

Mischeviouslittleelf: a real compliment coming from you, sir :D Thank you! You're right about the white... will tune that down and save it for the brightest of highlits :D

And now here's a cliche :)

[Timmy the Turtle]

crap:

[Timmy the Turtle]

for a friend, finck from nine inch nails (i don't listen to them)

[Timmy the Turtle]

early CHoW wip :D hope it turns out well :)

[Jaytea]

Wow, I love your style so much; the smooth shading, but also the thick brushstrokes. Great work, I really love that CG-on-notebook portrait. C:

[Timmy the Turtle]

Shalite: Thanks alot, dude :D:D:D i had some good fun with that portrait :D

5 stars, yey! :D:D:D Progress on my CHoW:

[m0uS3r]

i wanna say that i admire your ambition and hard work ... keep moving on fast forward your doing nice ...

love the CHOW

[rodent]

seriously man, you've got the touch, the dynamic edge that makes an artist worth his salt. But one thing i would suggest is drawing some different things, more organic nature orientated paintings prehaps

[Timmy the Turtle]

m0uS3r: mersi, dude! :D

rodent: thanks alot! and that's a pretty good point! writing it down in my mind :D

Bettie is almost done... :D
poop...4 stars again... guess i had my 15 minutes of fame, huh? :):D

[Dan Valkar]

ur latest works rock dude!!! specially like the photoshop magic and the last one

[Timmy the Turtle]

Dan Valkar: thanks loads, dude :D here's some more of that photoshop magic then: =)

[Grafguy]

nice sketchbook!
i LOVE your version of bettie <3
keep up the good work ;)

[zhonked]

Great Bettie Page/Mai CHOW man! This last piece is looking really cool too. I like the color pencil looking finish to it :) Keep going!

[silverrspells]

Pretty good stuff here, indeed. I suggest you to try and also make a background for the girl's drawing. Si mai insita asupra "texturii" parului.
Tine-o tot asa :lineart:

[MJ_Alcazar]

Good job on the CHOW. I really like that last drawing you put up there. Looks really cool. Keep up the good work!

[Timmy the Turtle]

Grafguy: Thanks! I will, I will :D

zhonked: Thank you! :D Too bad there's no poll on this CHoW... oh well, I'm preparing for next round :D

silverrspells: Mersi, dude! Tot asa o voi tine :D

MJ_Alcazar: Thanks! :D I like too experiment with traditional + digital media, 'cause both have ups and downs... so figured i would only get the ups this way :D

SUPER stylized challenge couldn't pass me by another month... so here come the WIPs :)

[Timmy the Turtle]

And a bonus :yawn:(note to self: sleep!) Anyway... this is what I'm gonna do now :D Now you know where the magic begins... :)

[MJ_Alcazar]

LOVE the WIPs on the Super Stylized Challenge. It has a really nice feel to them.

[MIKETAYLOR]

last pic is really funy

[Timmy the Turtle]

MJ_Alcazar: Thanks you! :)

MIKETAYLOR: Thanks, it shall get funnier still :D

[Timmy the Turtle]

progress :)

[Timmy the Turtle]

and finally, the final piece :D and a detail with original resolution :)

[Asatira]

Nice sketchbook. I'm glad you're posting WIPs; I really like seeing the progression of the latest one. Little changes make a big difference, and the final piece is very well composed and painted.

[SomeGuy...]

hail the allmighty turtle ^:)^!Great job dude...Keep em' up:D

[IVIATT]

Really nice painting. The most recent one seems like a step ahead for you because you worked the saturation of color in the lights so nicely (instead of working up using white). I'm noticing this use of subtle red glare in your work which is interesting. It can be tremendously effective when not overused. In the most recent work I would almost remove the red glare on the rocks to the far right behind the figure because they detract from the main glare on the figure in the swing.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

I like that last one, real nice work on the lighting, and VERY nice to see that you managed to work the light without fucking it up with the whites.

[jackpot_anjr90]

This is such cool stuff! I love your style! Very impressive :)

[Timmy the Turtle]

Happy New Year to you all! New Year's was a blast! :vodkamachine: :vodka1: :vodka2: :vodka1: :vodka2: :bomb: :xpld: :dead: :skull:

Asatira: Thank you very much :D

SomeGuy..: Mersi, duda man! :)

IVIATT: Thanks alot for the critique, man :D I wanted to find a compromise betwen obvious and subtle. Guess I'm almost there! Thanks! :vodka2:

Mischeviouslittleelf: Glad you like it! I took your advice seriously! It paid off i see :D Thanks! :vodka1:

jackpot_anjr90: Thanks alot! Working on that style though... well, not working on it, just working and letting it develop naturaly! :vodka1:

Here are some stuff I did before and after new year's.. got together with a fellow CA member, some vodka+orange juice, 2 sketchbooks and a young Bucharest night :) Here's his sketchbook: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=117608&page=5 :)

[ruth2m]

I really like your style ^^
the detail of the troll's picture is so pretty, shows more as the treatment of paint. I like the streak ended as a sketch...sorry for my english :P

What a pity!! I can't vote this month (I haven't had time to present a picture) I would have liked to vote for your illustration
Good luck!!

[retardedmonkey]

Awesome! The bathroom one is great, good to see I'm not the only one that draws in the office.

The painting at the top of the page is tasty. The sketches keep right up with it too!

[Timmy the Turtle]

ruth2m: Thanks, i really apreciate it! :)

retardedmonkey: "the office"... =) thanks! :)

going gouache again! damn A3 rinkly paper + an A4 scanner... so it's cropped... all of my scans are... ergo they look better in real life! cross my heart =):yayca:

[m0uS3r]

your doing unga banga great :D
