Hope to see you in the Netherlands!

.................................................. ....................................

Thank you all for the encouragement! It looks like I will be doing digital and traditional demonstrations at the workshops. I will be bringing some sketchbooks for you too.

.................................................. .............................

It looks like the response for the workshop is going great! Manley and Jones asked me to bring my sketchbooks. I will see how many I can fit in my luggage. If I dont pack socks I can fit an extra one or two!

[DanSTC]

Thumbs-up. Excellent work.

[Nucleardan]

For the love of God....that is just fantastic. :D

Dan

[Living Rope]

hey man, you have to show up much more if you want us to come to Amsterdam !! :D a lot of people here finally aren't aware of your wonderful style and there's not much to see on your website. So come on ! bring the sketchbook, time to be sexy, you secret guy !!


thx for sharing this demonic pic. this is freak ! I'm a huge fan of your horror circus for long.

[PhilHolland]

Really nice. I like the possessed blood thirst look. And the detail with the blurred depth of field add a nice touch.
Very well done.

I should be attending the workshop and look forward to learning from what you have to say.

Phil

[Atmospheria]

this is freakin awesome...yea that eye focusing blur stuff seems cool..directs the eye to the head of the figure. NÝce detials...
and yea...i'll be in Amsterdam too...wanna watch you drawing man! will be cool!
see you there

[U2DeathBear]

wow...simply just wow...i'm at a loss for words.

[Presence]

Duuuuude! :chug:

[bhuddistmonk]

this is awsome, i love the red hooves and the bone mace.

[metalwinds]

i need to start drawing for 12 hours a day. excellent work

[furbetto]

WOW!!!! and....................

DANG!!

great painting dude!

[liquidjack]

really like the brush work around the eye:beer:

[bwkeough]

wow, really excellent! I want to see more of your work, too!
great mixed anatomy, the goat head looks like it has the heaviness appropriate to a long skull with horns. The only weak area is its right hand, I think the thumb looks a little indistinct and the middle knuckles could be more prominent. The only reason it stands out to me is because the head of the flail so wonderfully well-realized and sharply rendered I could use it as a plan to build a real one.

[Ra Havok]

Dear god. That is so fantastic it should be illegal.

The only thing I don't like is how you solved the canvas color: the blurred grey blob. But ther rest is just... :jawdrop:

[viag]

whoooo this is really impressive ! nice character and style ! show more !!

[Form]

i just turned 18.....im in australia but im gonna try to make it to amsterdam for the workshop. Cant miss such a fuggin awesome opportunity! WHO WANTS TO DONATE TO MY NEEDY ARTIST FUND! i hope i can raise the cash in time to book the flight!

btw the pic - its really nice (obv). It would b an honour to learn from u at Wackers......heres hoping.

[Vincent]

See you in Amsterdam! :cool:
This is totally great, i like the fact that i can see sum of the used brushes lol, reminds me that your still human and use the same apps as us.. though it hurts too hehe.

So what workshops will you give? i'm assuming the digital painting-one?

[Red_Rook]

AWESOME <- not the of hand awesome, but truely AWE-some! Like awe inspiring. Great work.

see ya in a'dam :D
im like a little kid bouncing up and down im so excited.

[Renzsu]

Yeah, hope to see you in Amsterdam, this is scary though.. yikes.. terrific work!

[AnarchyAo2]

This is crazy. I'm still waiting for the damn monster to pop out and grab me. Anyway, I'm just wondering why the right hand it sort of blurred? If its intentional then is it to draw attention into the face? Or what?

[Glenn K]

WOW!! thats really awesome.

Great character, very intense. I like it all

well done.

[EnDorfin]

That must've been quite a challenge to do...
It's not my favority kind of art, but it is very well done!

Overall: 7.7/10

[jrr]

hmm, i dont know who that last guy was, but to each his own.
i think this looks really fresh and nice. maybe more blood on the spikes? or maybe not. yes please post more work in here, always look foward to seeing your work.

[gekitsu]

man...
i love how sintricately worked it is, yet so simple. the shapes... basically, they're so simple. the legs look like just a few brushstrokes and a bit of texture. the head... wow.

im in awe man. please post here more often. i learn so much by just seeing your stuff up close.

[MindCandyMan]

awesome thanks for posting this looks so good!

[RefrigeratorCo]

Yay, now I get to see this up close.

[liquidwerx]

Outstanding work. Nothing else to say...


~Malachi

[Jason Manley]

yeah i agree...absolutely excellent work.

thanks kev!

[EVIL]

Could you guys please post some more info about this workshop in amsterdam, because I live in the netherlands and it would be fun to go.

[kidcrucial]

holy.................:jawdrop:

[mercyfulcircle]

you've scared me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:evilbat:

[Kress]

right-click save. That is totally fucking bonkers, it's a shame you don't post more here. Not sure why you wouldn't since your stuff is so inspiring...

[killing.people]

i will decide if i am going when i hear how much it will cost. if somehow it is possible, i will meet you all on the other side of the world.
your style is the shit, your color is worth going blind for, your talent is insane. you may very well be my favorite artist just based off your site and the few images i have seen from you.
stay real,

-killing.regards

[davi]

post more puddn. or i'll give you hugs.

[EVIL]

Yeah yeah .. we all love him .. but can someone please answer my question in my post before this one? :)

[Jason Manley]

[empty]

damn, kevin...

this is incredible...

aw, yes, i remember the days of sculpture class and i can say i knew him when...

phenominal stuff man. glad to hear your doing well.

[JackalAnubis]

gazonkers...that is badge ass.....I love it...

[Puddnhead]

Thank you!

[I.was.ink]

These are great. Im not a big fan of demons, but I like your trolls face. Magnificente! :thumbsup:

[antihero]

Man the second Pic blows my ass off...
Is there a Puddnhead-Movement i could join or something?

[Jaku]

:crazy:

I can´t wait for amsterdam. Your work is simply amazing.

[sea minus]

I like the way you have (in the first pic) maximized the scale of the figure without really making it all that big by using a top-down perspective on the legs and straight on with the head. Very inspiring. Thanks for posting.

[brokencow]

thanks kev for showing these.
Are you going to post the WIP's for the Ram guy and the thing you did here at school?

[lyon]

Great work Kevin. Seeing your paintings always inspires new ideas. Brilliant color.

Howard

[the machine god]

This demon is just absolutly, possitively astounding. My only comment is that I think the hair on his back is a little soft. I would like to see a bit more detail in it.
Love it.

[Chris J. Anderson!]

Puddenhead - Wow man, great illustrations, very nice colors! My first reaction when I saw these was..WTF!

[GhostofMacbeth]

Awesome work

[AnarchyAo2]

Will you guys take pictures of the workshop and post them for the people who can't go?

[jermainevl]

i would like to give some advice/constructive criticism...but i just can't think of any!!;)

[fresh27]

weird, i was looking through my school notebook today and found a sketch (from a few months ago) thats looks just like the ram demon :D

very good work :D mine was made with a bic ballpoint :D

[EVIL]

Man Puddnhead, your work kicks ass! I love everything about your evil style. I cant wait to see everything at amsterdam if I can go etc..

[JEQ]

Puddnhead, I love your stuff! It's really great to see some new images.


The third pic confused me for a couple minutes, visually. I read it as if the creature's left hand was clawing into something. Like if it were slashing it's fingers into a screen with a picture projected onto it, with darkness behind the screen. It took me a little while to see that the black claws were actually part of the hand.

Did anyone else experience this optical delusion?

[farmer]

cant wait for amsterdam :chug:

[CENOBITE]

So many posts and no questions? Liiiiiiiiiiiike.............

what medium is involved here?

Give us a quick breakdown of your usuall process. etc...

[yfront]

I keep coming back to this goatlike god..
Looks alot like the one I keep in my closet.. the one I worship every night before I put on my pj's.
Damn I wish I could join u guys at the workshop in Amsterdam. O well, hopefully there will be a next time?!

[synthetINK]

Yeah, awesome stuff!...I especially like the angle and lighting on the 2nd one.
-Andy

[waikit]

amazing work! how much time does it take too make 1 illustration. yeah i am going to atttend the workshop. Paid the tuition already! Meet all you guys there. Im looking forward to see the steps and techniques of creating such kind of illustrations.

[Avetice]

good stuff, too bad we only get to see one straw out of the whole haystack of images you work on.
Hey just curious about when you think your puddnhead site is gonna be finished being redone. Seeing all those thumbnails and not getting to look at the full images is torture.

[Cassandra]

Amazing! The demon is absolutely great!
:chug:

[Oblio]

Boy...
:bow:

[-The Swift-]

insane!:blue:

[Blackhawk]

OMG, you posted that last two and my heart murmered. All 3 are incredible, the hands on the first one became a little mucky-mucked, but man. All I can say is these will be the longest 3 weeks of my life waiting for this damn workshop.

[azjohnl]

wow, i wish i was going, the demon is incredible, and so is the other stuff. damn, i really wish i was going to the worshop now!

[fukifino]

Man, I seriously hope this workshop kicks some serious ass so that y'all can organize a U.S. one.

Honestly, Puddn...I heard people raving and I saw some of your work earlier...so I was flipping through some of my D&D books and founds some of your art and I was thinking "eh..that's alright...but nothing special." Well, maybe they were quickies, or poor reproductions or whatever...you've got mad skills and I won't doubt again. :D

[slaine978]

You are by far my favorite artist on conceptart. Have you published your work? I'll be the first to buy "The art of PUDDNHEAD"!!!!!!!!!

[Jeff Jaws]

amazing! rock 'n roll! :rock:
You probably cant imagine how much I'm looking forward to meeting and learning from you in Amsterdam.

Jj.

[Lono]

you should post more..


oh shit,,

so should i..

-Lono

[azjohnl]

Puddn'head is there any chance you would post a sequence the next time you do a painting from sketch and then stages of your painting process?

[DragonGX]

I'm not the biggest fan of your "genre" if you want to call it that, but I can recognize a very talented artists work when I see it!


Great work! :cool:


I would also like to see some process pics if you wnat to post them. :)

[HugeHarHar]

And now I'm crying because you are to good.

[dnphilo]

Wasn't one of those pics made into a Magic the Gathering card?

[I.was.ink]

I have a request!

Will you make a sketchbook in the sketchbook section? I know we would all love to see your sketches!

-iwasink

[RefrigeratorCo]

That sketchbook entry hardly represents how awesome those things are.

Post the page with all the comps :)

[Madman!]

I checked the puddnhead.com site like I do all the time to see if there is an update (I also know about the kevart.com site too) and I see you're redoing the site now, can't wait to see what you add there. I was wondering if you're still going to have the prints that were on there before still for sale on the new version and maybe some new prints being made?

[viag]

:eek: the new skecthes are just great ! i love it !

[bRyaN]

Kev,

I would love to buy an artbook of your artwork...
Your work deserves more public exposure !!!

[liquidwerx]

Nice update. Love the vampire concept for Blade 3.

[mtw]

This thread needs a 5 star rating.

[Halis_Aetrous]

:fruit:

This is what your pictures made me do... (That and its a damned funny "smiley")

Yah. Absolutely amazing work. Please post more!

[crazybrush]

Truly fantastic!!! Thanks very much!

[lil'Tao]

yeah, i guess its good...
i guess...
maybe if you spend less time studying anatomy, and practicing and sketiching in your spare time, and spend more time goofing off and sleeping, you might be as good as me... maybe.
(quiet sigh...)

[behemot5]

:xx:

[R_M]

Can't wait to see you in live action in Amsterdam!

[leviathan]

Silly me, I didn't realize Puddnhead was also Llewellyn here on CA. Android's ref to KEVART.com tipped me off.

Unbelievable that talent like this exists.

What is it that separates work this good from the works of the old masters? I've often wondered who will be remembered as the great masters of our time by future generations. If there is a nominating committee somewhere, I'd gladly offer up Kevin LLewellen for the title.

[Miau]

wow this is incredible work, love your brushstrokes and colors.
more more ;)

[arghmisfit]

WOW! That ram is amazing! I also think you should post WAYYYYYY more then u normaly do.(for my inspirational needs):D

:chug:

[Crash]

shizzle, GREAT stuff



i have one question tho, do you ride motorcycles? (crotchrockets, hd's) since you captured the pose and feel on that rider so DAMN good.

[Summer Pudding]

aw man. How'd you slip through the net? In my last post Fozzybear wondered how I had never heard of you. Now I see why.

It hurts!

On Sijun, I usually sign off with 'Pud'. Not here though. Off to bed for a quick cry.

[Fozzybar]

hehe...

Light Beam comes upon Summerpudding ;)

[Supercolor]

i love your imagination

[Geophillyx]

Dammit, you suck!!!! these are just tooo goood!!!

[Pixeldragoon]

Why do people seem to be necroposting so much latley?

[Denart]

Why do people seem to be necroposting so much latley?

this one guy (who brought back this thread) brought back 4 other necro threads

[Faradoon]

kev you should post some of your figure work

Yeah, this is great stuff!

And hell yeah, you should post more!

[Fl3wk]

Great stuff, you should have made a sketchbook thread with it as it has sketch-like elements.

[Simeonov]

the best

[sabin boykinov]

Amazing works! This environment is my favorite one.
Thank you for this post.

[psychoboy]

great stuff, for sure

[molemansd7]

Nice....got a sketchbook?

And, sadly, your site doesn't seem to be working...

[Blackhawk]

Woh, this thread was dug up out of the abyss, I'm revisiting my childhood all over again.

[Mihail]

the best

You, Sir, are Necrophilliac

[SEVANS]

How did I miss this thread. Great stuff, love the looser pencil sketches.

Your the type of artist that inspires me while also making me think I should just quit. Love to hate you!

[deltron05]

If there is one person that makes me want to pic up an pencil and draw is you !
Great stuff as always ! Good to see new stuff from you
Cheers !
D.

[Toobs]

This is some masterclass drawing.. Amazing, the strokes look so simple in the artpiece with the ghoul that has lost his arm. Yet in the overal picture it all comes together.. I hope to get to this level someday within the next 10-20 years :-). I hope you keep drawing till the day u die whaha.

Toobs

[lepracauno]

your works are really really wonderful! it's so incredible to see!

[Maximilian S]

I really like the ram demon, really excellent. It's all great though.

[BenVanDen]

I enjoy your work.

[sinnersaint007]

the art just grabs you by the eyeballs and throttles you. your so right bout living art and makin it your all. i need to do that more. where i fell off the wagon so long ago. you just never fell off. your work is high octane stuff.
