[andyhunt]

Very nice demon. The lighting looks great, especially on the cross.

[Meilin]

I love your pictures, they both have an interesting story to tell and a good looking composition. Hope to see more updates from you

[sinneart]

Hello fellow architecture student;) Lovin your stuff so far - quite intriguing concepts. Hope to see more soon!

[Jamie Romoser]

Cool , keep posten!

[hunchback]

darn architecture people are too good at perspective...
those are sick paintings man, i like the atmosphere and lighting in them

more more please!

[forgeman]

I agree... The atmosphere and lighting are beautiful!

[Wykin]

I'm absolutely in love with the first one! The title adds a lot..

Only thing about the demon that threw me off was the arm. That's one massive creature; big thick neck, very wide horns... and one puny little arm. It's almost comical... The face and the lighting/colours are great though :) Love to see more ^^

[zalxemptyx]

i like both post, for the first one i like the fact you tilt the horizon so it feels more dramatically incline , makes you thirst for more.

i like the second one as well , lighting and the atmosphere , though playing around with the composition might push it even further

[shamandalie]

Love the second one dude. Keep 'em coming! :D

[kikindaface]

Colors are awesome !! I love the second painting ! Keep it up

[Brun]

U seem to have some great sence of imagination, keep it up

[jonone]

Hei guys WOW thanks for the nice replys...much appreciate the feedback keep it coming!

I like how you use the color to show how hot this place is.

Last of your piece is almoust getting to the point. Try to addsomecontrast color for opposite to the green in the background.

[Jaytea]

Really like the atmosphere in that last one, so mysterious-looking.

[alffla]

wow your stuff are really nice :O keep posting man!! cant crit because im still suck :P but that first pic is really cool..very abstract

[marcoferrigno]

ace stuff, love that first image with the deamon tree's. very inspirational.

[jonone]

thank you for the replys!im very glad you liked them and sorry for not answering till now!

its been abit claustrophobic around me lately,stupid arhitecture :)))
i began playing around with acrylics in the holidays and just sketching whatever crossed my mind.im ssorry i dont have a larger update but after the next 4 weeks of so many sleepless nights ........i promise ill start posting regulary!

till then heres a wip of my cgtalk entry for steampunk challange!
its about the boatman which helped the dead travel across the stix to the underworld. my vision is abit different ,i industrialized the whole process ,making the zepelins cross the stix,and the boatman just overseeing.
i need to improve the big structure which represents the underworld..entrance and those terraces on which the stix circles it 9 times^^ according to the myth.

anyway this is it so any crits suggestions opinions anything is welcomed!

cheers

[robinchyo]

lots of nice work here! really nice lighting and atmosphere. keep up the beyond good work :D

yo, really nice mood on those studies, you greatly capture the color ambiance, really like those ones, especially the roof view, keep on sharing

[Radost]

Djeepers, nice studies and the Steampunk entry has a lot of excellent elements/detail to it. Also, the idea of cable-airboat-carrier things is a nice perspective.

[Juhani Jokinen]

[hemP]

Keep up the dynamic compositions and strong lighting! For the digital illustrations do you pull together reference and do sketchbook studies before attempting the piece digitally? Or do you just build it up from scratch in one sitting?

-E

[jonone]

hei guys long time no see.
thanks for the nice words

Im gonna update with some projects that i did at the university.
this is first project, second year
first up is a pavilion, in a parc, which comemorates that place and its history..a whole neighborhood got demolished by the comunist regim in the 1980s in order to make this park from where u can see the Peoples house,the 2nd building in the world as size.my concept was to create something that shifts it shape..a baloon basicaly but is coordinated by the past,through those silhouttes out of red metal beams which are the old demolished houses.
concept
facades
perspective
ground plan
cross section

[jonone]

2 year 2 project

coupled houses...the concept was to put 1s upper floor on top of the others ground floor...and vice versa

[runrabbitrun]

i like

[jonone]

2nd year 3d project

this was a single family house,and becos the site was a residential full of old houses,with so much decoration and detail and another part interbelic with loads of art nouveau and art deco i wanted to reinterpret this ad trasnform the house with layers,panels of detail colected from around the site.from entrance doors,fences etc

1 floor plan
ground floor plan
facades
cross sections
garage plus cross section

[Dr poPcoRN]

great stuff :) really great ideas as well!

[jonone]

3d year 1 project

its a library which aims to reintegrate a whole neighberhood back into the city.
ground floor+1 floor
perspectives
cross sections +facades
facades

[jonone]

3year 2 project

a hotel on a hill with a gorgeus view to the mountains
concept was to create something that does stand as a bulky silhoutte on the hillside and that is as much as possible self suficient.

ground plane and -1
2,3 floors
facades
concept and perspective

[jonone]

this is a project initiated by me and a friend to attract the eye on the cables issue ahnging around in cityes...untill theyr put underground we wanted to show they can be used into an urban landscape.
those are the posters and the perspective of the exposition space,small...lol


and the last one is from a 2nd year project in which i tramsformed the street alongside our old school university ;it redirected automotive traffic and closed it only for pietonal use and supply purposes...it was supposed to be an oasis in the urban jungle and a place to chill out for the students and passing pedestrians

[jonone]

these are a few sculptures i did ...i helped out a friend who is also a teacher at the university with some artistic inclinations,and for his PHD he needed some sculptural objects ,so we designed them in pencil as roughs and then i translated them into urban surroundings;it was fun

last 2 are from Bucharest:D

[jonone]

hei all,been rly busy these days ,here are 2 older skecthes...will update big soon:)

cheers

[jonone]

he guys a little update///
a few stuff and some sketches under 40min..

[llex_paul]

nu am mai dat de mult pe conceptart...si acuma ma uit putin si ce vad:P super tare! chiar nu imi vine sa cred ca ai putut sa evoluezi asa de mult! ma uitam la it's finally finished si ma uitam la imagini si am observat aripile alea gen art-nouveau care stiam sigur ca leam mai vazut la ''un roman'' si ma gandeam ca ui la tipu asta ce tare este si totusi foloseste elemente de la altii, si cand termin de vazut vad ca e tot ''romanu ala''. wow, nu mia venit sa cred. bravo! mi-ar placea sa mai vbim, ca as vrea sa te intreb una alta, daca ai chef si deo bere ceva fac o cinste;) daca vrei baga idiu meu, llex_paul. bafta multa in continuoare, o sa mai trec pe aici

[AmontilladoAg]

Wow.. impressive sketchbook! Keep posting!!! :D

[jonone]

AmontilladoAg>> cheers~!

[ArtZealot]

i love this one (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=776439&stc=1&d=1252783408). very very cool! it reminds me of when i was a kid and used to read the magic schoolbus books where the bus goes inside the human body.

[Nenad]

Just, Wow! Excelent works, one of the best I've seen so far...

[Ivan Turcin]

self taught you say... man... :D It has been a pure pleasure watching your work.

[Ricardo Robles]

Totally agree with Ivan :)
4 pages full of awesome ideas and great concept art.

[MacTire]

Reall nice stuff Jon!!
I will make one crit, you may want to take down the opacity of the background images in your architectural presentation work. At the moment I'm finding them very distracting and leading the eye away from the design itself, even though they are often quite fitting.

Great work nonetheless and thanks for sharing!!

[jonone]

ArtZealot>.thanx haha im glad u had such a positive reaction
Nenad>>thx much appreciated!
Ivan Turcin>>its how it is:) cheers!
Ricardo Robles>>thank you!
MacTire>>thx i tryed to make them integrate and actually be aprt of the architecture but its always a good diea to lower them down!

thank you guys!
will come bk with updates soon:)
