The Wonderful Bi-product of Boredom

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

I desperately need some motivation to keep me practicing, creating and conceptualizing. I figure starting a thread here will help keep me on my toes in commiting to drawing everyday. What you'll see here is part of that :) It might not be good, but I'm gonna stick at it so time to get this show on the road!

*Feedback is always welcome

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

I'm working on becoming more loose with my style, getting that painted look down pat. Here's a rough painting that I've started today. This is the first progress pic of it, I'll add more as I do them.

*Just finished adding some details to the face to get a feel for the final look, still a long way to go though :(

[FightingSeraph]

The only advice I have: Keep Practicing. (I like the turret though)

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

So here's the latest, these are coming hard and fast cos I'm on holiday from uni at the moment :)

[juczpen]

Yep, keep practising because these are already nice, just imagine when you're good enough what you'll be cranking :) http://seoagora.com/img/589/d08l1104oulu/smiley2.gifhttp://seoagora.com/img/308/s08e1024rvou/champagne.gif

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

I nearly didn't get anything up today, but thanks to a few episodes of scrubs and a sketchbook I managed to come up with something....anything! No references, but I figure it's pretty obvious haha...

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Yup, this is me staying commited to drawing everyday, even if it sux haha...

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Been doing some silhoette work to polish up on it a bit more. Here's one of them...

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

I watched a western the other day, thought I would do some themed silhouette based work. They're a bit rushed, and it shows I think :(

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

environment speed paint, seems to be lacking something, but it's practise all the same :)

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

I went away over christmas, so I didn't really get much done, but I've been back into it now so here's some new sketches!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Here's some work from a few years back, just from my sketchbook...

[IMBass]

Nice stuff here. The first environment is beautiful. It feels cold and damp. I can almost smell the air there.

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Cheers for the love IMBass, this sketchbook thread could really use some haha!

[alffla]

hey there, you have a great sense of form and shape especially for anatomy. all those bulging muscles look very authentic! :)

keep it up haha~

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Thanks for dropping by dlquddnr :) I really try and get that anatomy accurate, it really adds something tangible to the picture. Cheers for noticing!

[Kristo Novo]

hey buddy :)

keep going... your styles are nice
maybe do some anatomy studies to improve your style


greets
kristo

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Cheers Kristo, I've done some life drawing (I study animation so it's a given) but I really should post some of that stuff on here. Thanks!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Here's some random new stuff, I'll post some anatomy studies next time hopefully :)

The Trike is an older picture, was a waste of time cos I don't really like it :(

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Kristo Novo mentioned doing some anatomy studies which prompted my memory to throw some on here (seeing as everyone else does right) so here's some from my sketchbook over 2008.

[L0rin]

would really like to see how the big guy with the axe turns out, very cool so far :) the blowtorch/flame-throwers are awsome :)

[revenebo]

Maybe the digital stuff needs some work but pencil and pen sketches are awesome and that's what matters the most imo. Great graphic style too, do you make graffiti?

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey Thanks LOrin, I may get around to finishing him one day, but due to the time he's taken so far I've lost a bit of interest :( I wish I wasn't so sporadic but I lose interest in stuff unusually fast. Maybe one day though :)

Cheers revenebo, I'm workin my ass off trying to get my digital stuff up to speed. I'll post some more refined stuff on here next, as this is a sketchbook I've been avoiding putting the more serious stuff on, but tis true what you say regardless mind you. And yes! I love graffiti, and engage in it on a small scale, mostly it resides in my sketch book however once I became old enough to have a criminal record :(

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

In light of rev's comment here's a couple of marker pieces from my sketch book. I'm not so fond of the less detailed one, but I was going for the old school burner style A. cos I like the mix it up and B. I didn't want to limit myself to any particular style, as I'm prone to going into too much detail (is there such a thing!)

I've also included a more refined digital piece for y'all to have a squiz at. Feedback?

[Shard]

really cool works you got in here dude!! i like your digital enviros..this last one is great, really cool architecture and feel!!
more!

[J.roxanne]

hello~~

amazing works~~ good Style and really Comfortable colour!

do more!~ g'luck

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Thanks Shardana and J.Roxanne, appreciate the positive remarks :) Here's a couple I finished this week. The armor one is an old sketch that I dug up and funkified (cos it was done in biro) and the comic style one is the first drawing of a character in a small comic idea that may see development (if I can stick to it). Enjoy! Feedback???

[jeremygordon89]

I really love your pencils the most, but your digital work definitely shows that you're improving on it, and you have some really great ideas in here. This is really inspiring to me as an aspiring concept artist, so keep up the awesome work. Your line quality is superb

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Done a few pics over the last couple of days. The afro dude is a character design for a rap artist called Tehn Diamond, check him out if you're interested :)
As for the chick, thought I would bust out some crazy techno gadgetry for fun. Both are drawn with biro and just touched up in CS3.

[MeTaL-Mike]

awesome shit in here :d love your graffiti style.

[bouroune]

yo, some very promising works, really like your pencils man, keep on sharing

[Adrian Wilkins]

wow some environments are reeealy kickass, and i thanked you for those studies cuz they're really sweet..wanna see more of those :)

keep it up I'll be watching! :)

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Lovely grafiti style youv'e got going here, I do see some inspiration from the benevolent Cole Eastburn on the previous page:)

-E

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey folks, I been real quiet the last couple of days, just been busy tinkering away on other stuff and haven't had time to do a whole lot of art. Also found out that I'm getting booted out of my house! That kinda sux, gives me 3 weeks to find another place, bit down about it too be honest. Us artistic hermit types don't like instability because it generally cons equates to less art :( I'll soldier on though, having a job would sure help however.

Thanks for the love jeremygordon, metal-mike, bouroune and hygami, it's always great to hear that I'm going in the right direction :) And mischeviouslittleelf, I'd never seen Cole's work, but I'm sure stoked you can see some of his flavor in my work cos that guy is off the chain good!

I've started rendering that techno chick, hope to do a full color version of her based on the monochrome, should look saaaweet I hope.

[RichKid]

dude, your mecha stuff is sick. im trying to get that stuff down right now, its hard. keep up the cool work, i love how the graff style shows through

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Thanks for the kind words RichKid, it's funny but I never notice that my work is graffitiesque, funny how that works. I can't say I mind though, it's nice to have a style. I love drawing mecha stuff though, it's tedious but so satisfying!

Just a quick sketch before bed. Felt like designing a female armor.

oh and btw, I find myself wanting some stars beside my sketchbook. If you think I deserve it then by all means hand them over :D It's all good if you don't though, I won't take offense :)

[dnm008]

keep working hard man

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Here's another before bed sketch, embracing my graffiti roots you could say :)

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Just a quicky before bed last night, colored it up this morning. Probably my fastest color job so far, only about an hour, hour and a half :)

[heda]

Tank Girl WOHO!

Nice pencilmanship in #36. Just cuorious, but why is tha Kana letters backwards?

Keep on working.

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Cheers heda! As for why the letters are backwards, I got no idea? That's just the way the font was that I got of the net :)

I been goin nuts sketching in ball point blue lately, it's so easy and fun and I dont have to worry about smudging or using multiple drawing implements for different stages. Just straight up biro :D So here's another, photo ref for the Rhino ;)

[aprentice]

wow awesomesome stuff lovin the little guy
above the rhino
amd the pencil work

[heda]

Its a little hard to tell if the guy is supposed to fly straight above the rhino or above and a bit behind (from our viewpoint), other than that nice rhino!

[M0RS]

Thanks for stopping by. Really nice sketchbook you have here, looks like you're tackling a variety of subjects. I personally enjoy the environments most.

[tmbritton]

Hey, really stylish stuff. Everything has a lot of personality. The robots are awesome.

[comixnut]

Thanks for dropping by. You got some serious colours and style in here, i will gladly check in regularly on the basis of what i have seen so far, dude! Keep it up and i will give C&C every now and then! :) bookmarked

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey!

aprentice: Thanks mate, always appreciate feedback :)
heda: I see what you mean with the viewpoint, I'm pretty sure it's cos I didn't put a shadow onto the rhino :( haha oops!
M0RS: Cheers mate, that's the idea I guess, I really want to be the swiss army knife of visual development!
tmbritton: Thankyou! Yeh I'm a bit of a robot fetishist, so many options :D
comixnut: Thanks muchly dude, you got some sweeeeet inks going on, perhaps some time I could colab with you cos I just can't get enough of your inking style!

Well I just moved house so I've been short on time. Really into the bosozoku style of hotrodding lately, just checkin the scene out on various blogs. It's very ummmm.... different ;)

[Verehin]

http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=559252&stc=1&d=1231418895 - mmmm...really nice ^^

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Verehin: Hey thanks for that :)
epicnoses: Thanks for dropping in and the crit. I have to agree with you from a technical standpoint, however I think you'll find the vast majority of initial vehicle design sketches leave little if any room for ground clearance, suspension and often don't even have tyres =p

Here's a coupla dudes I did before bed the other night. Had a bit of a drawing block and lull of late. They were done super fast, hence the messiness :(

[Lewis]

eh... WOW

* Nice humour in the little comments
* GREAT text art
* Nice logo/emblem
* Costume design :assspank:
* Dynamic pictures

=

5 stars

[Redfrog]

Great thread! Brilliant work!

[Morbid]

Sweet car designs.
They have attitude and so does the rest of your work, keep it up!

[AlexTooth]

really loved looking through this infact it's one of the most fun sketchbooks on here, now with stars! =0 wicked sb

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey there, thankyou all so much for the positive remarks! Really appreciate you adding stars and what not :) Hopefully I'll get some more feedback ;)

I've really had a tough time drawing of late, hence why I haven't posted anything much, even though this is supposed to be an everyday thing :( Once I escape the clutches of artist block I'll make with a fresh batch of goodies. For now though, here's some random stuff from the last few weeks... some of which is just WIP (if they ever get done).

[akabraille]

Hi there I really like your character designs and your environments

[localfatheaded]

keep drawing, sometimes if I dont know what to draw I do a still life from life, it has really helped me out and I think you might be surprised what it could for your digital painting, and that last drawing you did with the robot grabbing the dudes head is totally awesome
later!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Uni commenced today, so I'm back on the mad drawing train, with lots of lecture pad fun to be had!

Thanks once again for the kind words akabraille and localfatheaded, I know what you mean with the life drawing, cos that's exactly what I do when I got nothing in mind, just go from life :) Works a charm. I should really put more studies up here, but I get lazy with scanning them =P My bad!

Here's todays in class efforts (Warning, NUDITY!):

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Well we've finally started studying pre-production at uni this semester, which I was so much looking forward to. Watched a DVD with Feng Zhu the other night on vehicle design, loved it so much, well worth the watch. Suffice to say I got cracking today with some quick designs of my own :)

[Troubadour]

thanks for the comment :)

nice work! i like your rendering and machine design, very cool ;)

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

This concept thumbnail thing is just read fun, also went back to the good ol' pencil for a bit, just to play with some smoother rendering. It's been a good first week back at uni :)

[Asatira]

This is a pretty neat sketchbook. Personally, I really like your machine drawings and renders, and the environmental pieces.

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Cheers asatira! Thanks, I'm pretty partial to mechanical stuff really, is fun makin it up.

Been really knuckling down with concepts lately, just bangin the stuff out so my skills go up fast :D We've been given the task in my pre-production class to choose a fairy tale to do concepts of. My good mate in my group suggested we do the Wizard of OZ. Sick idea! So we're keeping the general storyline, with some minor sub plot differences. So I've included my first pic of the cowardly lion. He don't look so cowardly in the pic, but rest assured he's got some emotional difficulties haha ;) and he's also a prince BTW, random I know, perhaps I'll explain later....

[Peter Berkovski]

great sb mate, really dig your style! your doing well the stylized characters and the exaggerated anatomy looks really good,your enviros are filled with great mood, but like the others already said some anatomy studies won't be bad to do, they will help you to develop your style much more ;) post more!
*subscribed

[Kristo Novo]

the last updates are rocking - you getting better and better - keep us updated

[Porg]

Excellent work you've got. Love your expressive style and especially the perspective you get with your vehicles.
The mecha robot suits are ace to, something I've always wanted to be able to do. Would love to see more.

[Flaskpost]

very nice vehicle designs dude, love em!

[zeo-x]

sweet sweet spaceship designs mate! i wish i could do spaceships. lol..

[luness]

Great style and very cool designs!!

[revenebo]

Wow man! More and more please.

[AlexTooth]

Cool updates man, your concepts are awesome and the chars are always filled with attitude :-)

[lixandrocordero]

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=152211

here are some drawings, so u can see....hope you like them...i love your work !!!

[Leon Roé]

Your stuff is cool (Can I still say 'cool' I dont know, or is to 80's 90'? maybe im just getting old :S)
Anyway, nice mix of comic and perspectief.
Jou do cracters AND constructions well!! Good job! :cheerleader:

[marcnail]

I like the very stylised Graffiti-Artworks. Good Stuff.

[maeshanne]

nice work, your getting better and better

[destinyapocalypse]

hey u have good jobs i like them you re doing good mechanic things design and i like your characters anatomy their muscles they are better than mine :D

[Josef K.]

nice work! just browsed through your sb and your improvement is huge! the spaceship is great! keep going!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Holy crap! So this is what happens when I change my icon in the sketchbook forum... it's true what they say about first impressions...

Really not cool about having not updated here in ages, but I have really been very busy with uni and graphic designing, it's all been a bit much really. On the bright side I've been drawing everyday and really feel I'm making some solid progress narrowing down my mistakes and getting by drawings sorted.

I wish I was able to type a bit longer, but I have to get another design churned out, so this update is just to feed my starving sketchbook.

Thanks so much for dropping in and leaving me a note, your're great motivators! When I get time I'll endeavor to reply to you individually :)

Here's more for the Wizard of OZ project (not like I've had a chance to touch anything else!).

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Damn huh, massive delay for updating this sketchbook. I got a new computer and totally forgot my password for conceptart!!! Yeh I was spewin, but I didn't really have the time to worry about it, still got my nose pressed to the grindstone with assignments. Seriously, this animation course I am doing has a floggin unbelievable workload. I got a mate at another institution studying the same thing and he bludges all the time!!!! There's my rant, now here's some recent stuff, pretty much entirely for the wizard of OZ project...

[Newman101]

hey man I really love your style. You do some really great vehicle designs. The only real crit i can give is on the one piece of the flying monkey. He looks a bit too human-proporitoned to me. I think it would be really cool to see him more in the shape of a real monkey of that size.

hmm.. that makes me kinda want to draw a flying gorilla 0.o

Keep it up!

[polydrawer]

wow some pretty awesome linework and designs you got going on here!
keep it up :)

[devilminer]

Very cool work! Keep it up. The grafitti ROCKS!!!!

[comixnut]

Yo, PB where you studying animation man? i would love to do that as well after this but i don't know if i can... at least not straight away. That post is awesome with my favourite page being the blue one. It just has a balance of all that i love great animals, awesome character with personality and a hint of mecha and an environment. :D

Please keep going and plugging away so we can see your stuff.

[Janos]

Your digital work is really nice and smooth, love it. I prefer these pencil sketches though, the soft rendering and harsh outlines work, and the anatomy is very nice.

Cheers

[Bagg]

hey man you have some amazing style going on here :)
plus I friggin love your concept stuff really amazing and detailed designs keep up the amazing work.

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey folks, once again I've left this sketchbook alone for waayyyy to long. Not to worry, staying busy so I got plenty of new stuff. More often than not I just get tired of uploading :(

Cheers for the crits and comment! It's always great to get your feedback and after all that's why people post sketchbooks anyway :) Hopefully I'll get to updating more frequently as uni has finally allowed me to take a breath....

Here's some final stuff for the Wizard of OZ project, nice to actually have that finished!

[jaykrishna]

great job!!i like ur all concepts..

[My57]

hey i like your stuff! especially the graffiti stuff! Your enviros are pretty good to.

no real complaints about your SB, other then the fact it lacks anatomy studies but im sure your good at them already.

[Hungry_Wombat]

Nice style, but remember too much detail = clutter. You gotta find a balance, which you have perfectly in most of your work.

[comixnut]

PR (not PB like i said last) sweet stuff man. How's the new comp treating you?

[quackart]

really like your style... you sure know what you are doing :) good job... keep posting! .)

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey there folks, just a quick upload before bed, once again leaving it alone for far too long. Can't wait for the holidays so I can produce some more work and all that sweet sweet spare time for interneting :)

jaykrishna- cheers, I'm glad!

My57- I really gotta put some of my life drawing up here aye! Will get to that at some stage, I pretty much keep my portfolio at uni though, so I seldom have it at home for scanning, hence the lack of it on my SB :( Will rectify that soon I hope...

Hungry_Wombat- Yes indeed, I have a tendency to overdo the details, my issue is trying to stop myself! I do loves it....

comixnut- Thanks again for dropping by! My new comp is great, though it's leading me to procrastinate so much as this thing can actually run Fallout 3 pretty nicely..... I love that game far too much.

quackart- Cheers mate, I do try, but I'm still learning so much all the time, just waiting to hit that awesome level where someone will employ me :D

So here's some of my most recent sketchin around and what have you...

[Peter Berkovski]

nice designs man, really like the heavy gunner and the green monster ;) nice work keep it up!

[comixnut]

yeah i had to uninstall Warcraft 3 because of that as well! :D It sucks but for now i cannot afford the distraction. I love those vehicles and the chicken-dinosaur as well. The gangster looking angel reminds me of a One Piece character whose name escapes me at the moment. Cool shadows and colours on that one man. Please keep it up!

[marcnail]

I'd like to see some characters like the Gunner realised in 3D (Zbrush)
or as a Vinyl-Figure. It has a really plastic feeling to it.

:)

[Bartovan]

Great designs, man! I love the lineworas well. keep going!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

My goodness it has been a very long time since I put something up on here. haven't really had much stuff that I wanted to though, not for lack of cranking it out. Still, its been mostly linework (yeh that seems to be all I do right?) which is why I've hesitated so long cos nothing ever actually seems to get finished! Well enjoy some of my rough stuff at least, until I actually get around to "really" finishing something...

[Bergulf]

Great vehicle designs and characters. Good stylization. The guy with the huge weapon I think would benefit from not having the gun viewed straight from the side. It makes the image look flat.

[Jasper_]

Dude you've got some great industrial design type stuff. This last update looks really nice. Where are you going to school currently?

[Jizu]

wow, awesome paintings! hope to see some more soon!

[luness]

I loooove the vehicles, awesome stuff!
Great work on the environments too, specially the Oz ones.

Keep posting!

[Wiggles]

I love your work! Your characters and machines are some of my favorite.

Keep 'em coming!

-Wiggs

[gutss]

you've got wicked style and a great imagination (particularly the mech stuff, I love it!) your pencil lines are very, very swish. quite often though, in your figures, the faces can let them down. practice, practice, practice and make the good stuff even better!

[Norris]

Just looked through your sketchbook, and its fantastic! Loving the pencil work, but the other stuff is awesome too ... love the graffiti style too.

Take care and nice work!

Norris

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Hey there, it's been a relatively unproductive few weeks, but I've started to make some progress towards improving my color skills, trying to say more about the environment by being selective with my color. I used to think it was cheating, but I've been picking off peoples palettes and getting a better understanding and that really helped, so I thought I'd try my own eye at it and painted up the little guy fishing. I think it's a fair site better color wise than a lot of my stuff....

Bergulf - Noted Bergulf, I think you're right, I was going through a lull and tended towards more generic posing, a product of laziness it be.

Pyroclasm00 - Thanks aye, I'm currently attending Griffith university in Australia (the Queensland College of Art).

Jizu - Thanks mate, here's some more now :D

luness - Thanks heaps for dropping by, means a lot :) Really glad you like them!

Wiggles - Awww shux, your favorite? Damn aye, thanks muchly

gutss - Indeed you have spotted my weakness, I go through stages where I'm satisfied with them but on a lot of my pics I end up leaving the face to the last minute. A habbit I'm trying to break. Thanks for sharing!

Norris - Cheers Norris, thanks for stopping by :) You have a sketchbook?

[Riddimensaur]

I really like your environments, those are really nice looking. The vehicles and character designs are really nice too. Keep it up :D

[Norris]

Loving the new updates! Gorgeous first and second piece.

Yes, I have just started a sketchbook, and hoping to update it today with some recent sketches that i have been working on, so crit is always welcome ... not attempted the digital stuff yet, so would love some advice for a newbie if you have any?

Cheers
Norris

[cout<mecha]

Hey PR, just stopped in from another thread of course and was amazed at your skills being displayed. I'd love to know what inspires you to do such wonderful work! I definetely will keep looking over here for some real awe inspiring mind bending stuff.

:yayca:

[ghūl]

Just wanted to drop bye and say awesome work man, going to keep my eye on you SB. peace :yayca:

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

It's been a fricken age since I posted anything. Alas, I am not dead, just over encumbered with uni and my new job as a concept artist/character animator for a new iphone game I can say nothing about ;) I've done a fair whack of stuff between now and my last post, even some 3D but nothing really "finished", so here's a snifter while I've got a sec...
Sorry for being rudely non-responsive, holidays are just over the horizon!

[cout<mecha]

Understandable PR and congadulations on your new work schedule as it's pretty difficult to find. You've posted a nice batch of painting this round. Although I am doing some independent animation stuff myself, I also find it's tough to post as often as most CA artists do. Anyway hope to see some of f your animation stuff soon, and pop by my thread sometime if yuo will! bye!;)

[ColorExcursion]

REALLY cool stuff in here :]

[iven]

damn it,....:blah:

[Norris]

WOW!

Some great new updates, and just looked back through your entire sketchbook, and you are SUCH an inspiration ... GOD I LOVE IT!

Major update on mine is imminent as well ... so take care and hopefully see more work soon!

Take care
Norris

[Traveler]

You've got some serious skills. Keep on going! Keep on posting! :painting: Love the style coming through.

[AustenFM]

Hey man, I thought i had already commented in here before, oh well. I was stoked to see your sketchbook on the first page, i was hoping for an update, woe is me.

You've got a killer graphic style, and i dig your linework, gorgeous candy colors as well.

I hope you can get around to posting here more often!

[PeNcIl ReBeLlIoN]

Daaayyyuum it's been ages, but I thought I'd swing by and see what's been happening and maybe resurrect this SB :D

Thanks for the love while I been awol, I do read them and it's very encouraging! Also doubles as a starting point to get some inspiration if you have SB links of your own :)

Life being what it is I been busy making things happen, so here's some of that :p

Also check out the blog for my 3rd year film project with a team, concept art is at the beginning of the blog ;) check it: http://saturatefilm.blogspot.com/search?updated-max=2010-03-25T22%3A12%3A00-07%3A00&max-results=20
