Thanks, I love watercolor! And your watercolors are lovely, too.. i've seen a couple of yours! great colors in the snow and use of limited palette. Do you use masking tape in your watercolors to protect your whites?

[Grooveholmes]

I will now cry myself to sleep tonight.

[dodowa]

gekitsu
-oh! alert,alert, :alien2: hehe~
sorry, because my immature english..
what's sci-fi style? ...genre? a shortened word? :D


Fozzybar, haiku, - thankS! :chug:

celticdog -
Sabastian and flounder...hehe..
One cannot work on a empty stomach...
and indulge one's appetite to excess...:beer: :cyberguy:

maya_a, Palm, Avetice, Grooveholmes -thankS! :hello!:

Ochre Face
-this work unused masking tape.:D
only the law of gravity...viscosity resistance ..and accident luck...:ahha:
but sometimes i use masking liquid.:barf:
question, do you use ARCHES and WHATMAN paper for your watercolorworks? :chug:

[nick reynolds]

another new background... :crosseyed

[gekitsu]

dodowa, sci-fi is shortened form of science fiction.

hi! i only started to use masking liquid just recently, it's really wierd stuff... thats very impressive you are able to get such clean whites without it! ... i love using ARCHES watercolor block (18x24)... it is the best paper i found. sometimes i'll use regular canvas paper because its easier to rub out


judging by your watercolor pic, you use the textured kind, maybe 300 lbs?

Jeremy

[Grooveholmes]

Phew man, just had to come back and gawk at this some more. I just have my own 'SEUNG-CHOUN' while checking it out. Thanks!

[SamusNeo]

Holy shit. Everytime I think I have seen something that kicks all ass on this site I find something even better. This is up there as one of the best I have seen so far, and your landscape is awesome too. Being new to watercolor I am amazed. Keep up the good work, I'll look for more of your posts.

[dodowa]

nick reynolds - thanks!
another new background...ummm...whatercolor?:)

gekitsu - thanks! so, SF!! hehe..
i like SF. :alien1:
but fantasy are in fashion now, in the korea at least.:(
but i continue go one's way..hehe :beam:

Ochre Face-
hi! thanks, your answer.
i like 185g~200g WHATMAN paper, however it some thin....
but i like rough embossing texture of it, it led to random brush stain. i love it! :D
but this work used weighty paper like your judging. sharp eye:alien2:

Grooveholmes-thanks!...:chug:

SamusNeo-thanks! :chug:

[swampbug]

yeahhhhhhh. thats pretty dang nice. ehehhahaha. It reminds me of the end of evangelion, in the respect that there are some funky shaped creatures that look more like symbols than creatures, and I see that there. The confrontation in this piece is amazing.. The human at the bottom pales in comparision to the significance and power the the spirt .

[brokencow]

holy mother fucking shit!!!!

[Fourth Nail]

I noticed some symetry to the rock formations at the bottom, any significance?

Z

[dodowa]

thanks! swampbug, brokencow and Fourth Nail:D

...the rock formations is absolute accident, unconsciousness..:huh:
i admired your keen eyes:btu:

this work is group work~:chug:

[gekitsu]

dodowa, the masses scream for some tech talk respectively a tutorial!

if you fulfill their request, they will love you even more and you have good chances to marry natalie portman and become president and world famous and and and...

:chug:

i love the new picture btw. i would have chosen to give the siren vehicle a bit more of a unelegant look on dry land. i imagined it more like jellyfish: as long as they are in the water, there's nothing more graceful but once they are on dry land, they look like spilled jam.

[MindCandyMan]

What in the world...I can't believe that red mermaid. Holy cow...what the heck...sheesh...that is insane...AWESOME work.

[dodowa]

thanks, MindCandyMan
Your praise is more than I deserve. :D
this world is my imagination about human final evolution...
sometime...will be comeback sea(human's home),
sea and universe, the two are just alike in the my mind...
from ambulatory animal to floating....hahaha


sorry, gekitsu :bow:

my unskillfulness english :(
i have poor ability to translation my tutorial and mind..
but, i will soon be express my tutorial and mind..:D

old works~ Harrier fighter

[MindCandyMan]

This harrier is amazing....wow! Great stuff man keep it coming!!!!!!:jawdrop:

[gekitsu]

hey dodowa-san, that harrier is great!

it reminds me a bit of the sketch work of yoji shinkawa, the concept artist for metal gear solid.

that rippled air below its engines is absolutely awesome!

about tutorial: an image tells more than thousand words :D

[stormeffex]

i love your stuff. it's great work man. i came online just to see it again today....wow.

are you from seoul? i want to visit there someday, heard it was beautiful.

--tou

[dodowa]

thanks!everyone :D

stormeffex, seoul is city of 'no-homogeneity form and character'.
it is very exciting, but on the other hand it is also disorder
but i love my city~:D

this work is seoul night view...
..my favorite drinking house overlooking the 'HAN'-river.:chug:

[KeatonMarks]

do you have a homepage? your work is most beautiful, i would love to see more of your creations.

[dodowa]

thanks! KeatonMarks:D

homepage.....coming soon! :cyberguy: (under construction)

[hed|lamb]

Worth the download indeed. These are really amazing. Nice style, nice images in general.

My eye hurts....that's a good thing. =D

[Batteram]

Your work is so powerful dodowa and the expressions you portray in your images is quite amazing. Your work kind of reminds me of the impressionists combined with early Japanese line art but with a way more amount of detail. Your use of colour is awe-inspiring.
I hope you don't mind me asking this but have you ever tasted dog in Seoul and what does it taste like?

[Oblio]

you rock :bow:

Oblio

[dodowa]

thankS! Oblio:D
thanks! Batteram, i don't like tasted dog.:cry: ...i like keep :cat; ~hehe
thanks! hed|lamb~:D

all good luck!

[bohemia]

holy fuck:eek:

annyoung~

no , im not jpnese , i am chinese ^^ i am learning how to speak jpnese right now though , so i could read a little bit of the stuff you posted. Something about evolution back to fish , and ridding ourselves of the two feet for the sake of the "final evolution" ,and returning to the civilisation in the sea. is this for a game ? if so , is it a korean or jpnese game ?

i learned some korean words from my korean friends here , but i only know how to say bad words like "chu go" =P

can you speak jpnese ?
