noiprox's sketchbook - 24 November 2010

[noiprox]

Hi guys
I've created account in ConceptArt.org quite a long time ago, but I was like 'I dont belong here'. I hope that during long time that passed I've improved my drawing skills enough not to get embarrassed because of their level.
Hope you will find watching my sketchbook entertaining

[noiprox]

Here are the first ones

[Tortuga]

These looks great, the only problem i have is with the black and white faces, they dont look too good. However its probably becuase they were quick sketches. Other then that great job!

[noiprox]

Hey thank you Tortuga :) Yes, they are quick sketches.

Im preparing to make an illustration, so Im putting a few sketches of it to my sketchbook.
The first image is pure color research. I asked my acquaintances which color pallete is the best in their opinion. However they were far from unanimous so I decided to combine two of them and reinforce the composition by lowering the angle of camera.
I am aware that anatomy and armor design suck for now, but they are just overall sketches and I hope this will change soon. I will post a WIP thread for this one perhaps.

[noiprox]

Next attempt to previous image. Im not satisfied, will be redrawn

[Rostas]

An excellent start If I might say ! Ok ,so lets start from the beggining ..

1: I like the apple study and the rendering you've done on it,it looks vivid and live.

2:The portrait is just great ,I like how you draw faces .

3:And speaking of the environments,it seems you have an affinity for them ,will definetly love to see the next ones.

4:The drawing processes are great ,I'm keen on seeing more and maybe some traditional stuff too ^^

Yes,indeed,a great start and I will keep watching!.

P.S:It is entertaining XD

[noiprox]

Thank you very much, Rostas!

I've made a sketch of what I want to change in the illustration from my previous post. It's a very rough one, no one of my friends understand what's going on in it, so let me explain.
So OK, the environment doesnt change.
I decided to make it more story-telling than conceptart by adding some elements.
Here is the fighting scene, showed from knocked down person perspective (haven't decided who will this person be). His right hand is like 'Nooo, let me live' and fingers on his left (drawn on the very bottom) are stained with blood. There is his kneel also, so the observator knows he is lying on the ground.
And here it comes! The final thrust.
I hope watcher's imagination will be encoured by this picture. The concept of the person wielding spear doesn't change.

I understand it's hard to read so far, hope this will change soon.

[noiprox]

A little bit more refined one this time

[Rostas]

God,the last one is just superb ,I really love how you draw your females ^^ ,I want to see more ,and the ideea of giving a more story-telling atmosphere to your environments is a thumbs up ideea ,and about the first being unclear,it just gives the feeling that it should,don't force the note too soon,it's original and I would love to see more on that too . Keep posting noiprox ,i'm gonna cement-watch your thread XD lol

[polipol]

jeeeeesus man - holy crap - amazed - inspired - you got talent and then some. *And not trying to start a fight with anyone here - but your B&W sketches are just as awesome -
Killing those enviro's - loved the horned mountain stuff (really dug the use of "sharpening" - really makes it jump out. Alright - enough good game pats - keep em coming and looking forward to seeing more :)

[lemming-clone-]

P.O.V style is interesting. Srsly.
Keep em' coming!

[Hardedge]

[Sebastian Wagner]

woowooowoooo! I`m in love with your environments! There look so clean and have great atmosphere! More more more!:D

[daroz]

very nice color studies man :) keep it!

[geoxen]

Really like the use of various perspective angles in your first few there.

Coloring is very good, and is very clean.

Keep it up :)

[noiprox]

@Noro - Thank you!

@daroz - Thanks mate :)

@geoxen - Thanks!

[noiprox]

Here's the current version of previous pic

[PxelSlayer]

I love where this image is going! As for the CC part (I hope you don`t mind), I think you should refine the face - make her look at the "victim", change the expression on her face (maybe something like rage/frown or an evil smile), IMO the hair looked better when it was in motion ( I think it was a good balance to her static pose), and the hands (more rendering, please!).
Angle - awesome! Idea - awesome! Atmosphere - awesome! So far, so good...;)

[noiprox]

Another try, hope you enjoy it

[telthona]

It's good idea to update sketching book now :) But i think you should change thumbnail, because you have a lot of better stuff here.
You're good at enviros, but you should train anatomy more :) If you train a lot, you will make a fantastic illustrations some day :) I'll waiting for it :D

[noiprox]

@telthona - thanks :D

Here's a sketch for another image - "bigger than epected"
