[REAU]

I finally got around to scanning some pages from the book of sketches.

Most of this stuff is out of my head but i must warn you there is a heavy Ghost in the shell influence going on so don't hurt yourself. I can't stop watching that movie and reading the manga. Its been all these years and I still love it. I must have watched the new trailer for Innocence at least 100 times. That movie is going to be unbelievable.

[young paddy1]

I don't know how to say this without making it sound like I want my lips surgically attached to your posterior, but this stuff is pure skill especially the Sargent studies and the piles of mental characters.


There is only one thing on this entire page I have a problem with, your first wolverine has a serious camel toe issue. :)

[Xpose]

WOW! I'm loving this stuff. Keep it coming!

[QueensbridgeViaPhily]

Reau is doing his thing. The BATMAN sketch is where its at.. I wanna see some more war characters, especially the colored war scene. That shit looks like photograph. Nice stuff. Keep them coming Reau.

[REAU]

What up! Queens in the motha fuckin house. Yo man thanx for the reply didn't think I would see you here.

Xpose-thanx man I wish I could post more but I'm so fuckin busy right

Sok N. Wett- Dude I am the biggest Wolverine fan I think the first thing I ever posted here was a Wolverine painting. I'm glad you like the military stuff and when the book is in comic stores I hope you still like it.

ok its too late and I'm too drunk to type so I'll just get to the sketches

[Capprotti]

[obid619]

wow man. i'm bustin my head open with all this stuff. totally rockin man! by any chance are you a comic book artist? and also you seem to have a lot of potential just keep going at it, cuz i got good vibes from you hah.

[prawda]

this thread is very cool...

perhaps u could try some more contrast in your sketches.

[Capprotti]

Ummmmmm........ PAINT THE BATMAN!!!!!!!!!!

[REAU]

No Batman painting yet but I got some bloody vampire fun

Just trying a different approach to finishing my sequential art. I need to blast out my pages faster so I'm testing out new ways of working.

[liam.c]

[Capprotti]

oh HELL YEA Reau!!!! Looks great!. That last panel looks sick. And the atmospheric background works. I'd say it was all around sucessful. Colors look really good too.

[USER777]

[Jeff Jaws]

[Sikkness]

how the hell did i miss this thread?? great work, i can tell you have a real love for the canuckle head. oh, and the spidey pic had me laughin my ass off. i love the way you shade by the way.

[JackalAnubis]

you've got a great variety within your pencils from lineweighted to soft shading. the painting is looking really good as well. I think my fav is the decorative armour guy that kinda looks like tom cruise. looking forward to more!

[REAU]

Just got the new Juno Reactor CD and its unbelievable! This sketch is the product of that insane music.

Great work Reau. I love the vampire pages. So cool how the second page has the blank black panels. So much impact on the panel.

[Phuzion]

Really killer work here man! I had done a Batman/Katana pic a long time back... it's such a damn cool duo, so I'm stoked to see you doing it too. Those hand studies waaaaay up there are great!

There are some anatomical issues, mainly in the faces when you start getting into different angles... just keep working on those, as I'm sure you already will, and maybe do some more hands, but sheeeeeit. It's all working out well for you! Peace

-Daniel

[liam.c]

verry verry cool mate !

[jungsangchoe]

wow i see great work in here... also can see tt ur a comic lover... with all the marvel ppl... i love that spidey pants off pic! haha put a smile on my face.... please post more ya... peace

[Capprotti]

I fucking love that land scape scene. Awsome!!!! And the image above it is the shit too. I really like the design of the knights. the ONLY thing I'd say about that is the horse on the right in the, the second one back, his leg looks a little awkward. I can't put my finger on what it is, but maybe you might see it and figure it out. Keep it up man, and you know you have some sketchbook pages hiding. So POST THEM!!!! LATE!!!!

[NoUseFrAName]

man, that last update is so sweet.
I loves it! both images are just badass.

-Rob

[Gaussian3d]

I love the studies man, and that last b&w landscape painting is awesome!!!

[dCepT]

Your digital stuff is off tha hook! Especially the sargent studies, and the sequential!! Keep updating, I'll be checking in on ya!

I really like the jumping wolverine!

[auden100]

So I'm scrolling down, digging the pics, and trying to think of how to formulate my reply, and then I read Phuzion, and I'm like "Yeah, that's it." So I think I'll just say "Badass!" and give you the digital thumbs up. Keep 'em coming.

[REAU]

Yooooooooo
Phuzion- thanx man...who doesn't want to draw batman and kitanas :)
liam.c- thanx mate
jungsangchoe- yes I love comics and I'm a total fanboy!!!!

NoUseFrAName- thanx rob I'm glad you like them
Gaussian3d-dude your stuff is awesome!
dCepT-ah yes wolverine, I think my sketchbook was in danger of becoming a digital love letter to wolverine <3
auden100-dude thanx a lot...and you win for most badass reply congradulations!!!

Nice work man, beautifull takes on wolvie and overall badassness.

[jetpack42]

AWESOME sketches yo. I think i'll be stoppin in here on a regular basis. nice!

[steak-tron]

Great pages Reau! you're powering up for some collosal finishing attacks fo' sho'. Phuzion is right about some of the anatomy, all around very solid stuff but with a few tweeks and a little more study they will stand on solid steel.

Those last enviros are hotness - that shit aint easy.
-steak

[Burning Eyes]

DAMN NICE STUFF. im sorry, its just like wow your good.. But I seem to say that alot here. Well, now I gotta add a folder for your art, .... ill be back!

[darth massacre]

Ok this is seriously GOOD SHIT!



I'd love to see more of your comic book stuff.....The Vietnam conflict has always been something I like to study. Those character studies were too cool. Especially the fella with the M60 and M16 slung to his back

[REAU]

Dennal Floss-thanx man and who dosen't love wolvie
jetpack42-lets just hope I can keep postint these sketches on a regular basis
steak-thanks but my power level would still only be 1/3 of the earth shattering rain of destruction that your bringing down on us from that sketchbook of yours!!!
Burning Eyes-dude you never came back :(
darth massacre-dude I'm glad you like the comic hopefully when you see it in your local comic shop you'll pick it up:bashful:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/liquidsnake/sketch11-25.jpg

[Burning Eyes]

im back, nice stuff man! more more!

[PHATandy]

Ok this is seriously GOOD SHIT!

Copy that man, this is the dogs balls, im lovin it all, your pencil rendering is beatifully subtly yet uire content is hardcore, ure mechs, knights and super hero's are all super duper.

Excellent stuff man, and im seeing lots of improvement, keep it up.

[I.was.ink]

You have some great work here man. I like that you try a little bit of everything and it's all coming out very nicely. KEEP IT UP! :confident
- ink

[Sanby]

I really like the musclar guy in that last post. The shading is great.

Sanby

[patternagainst]

Great stuff, I just got myself a subscription to this. Is most of this stuff from reference, life, or just pure imagination? I'm really curious to know. Really mind blowing, love the anatomy.

How old are you, did you goto school?

Keep on it, peace.

[Eyal]

sweet stuff reau
u have a good sense of light
i remember noticing that before in some color figuers uve done a while back

i also like ur females, nice figuers, small sexy beasts ;)

i do feel that many of your character look kind of anime-ish or comic-ish, and so they lack some personality. many are quite "subtle", if you see my point. sometimes that comic style gets into your anatomy, and i think your skechbook stuff could look much better if it didnt, though that may just be a matter of personal taste..


i usually check up on your stuff
keep it going

[REAU]

I can't see it. I feel like i'm drawing blindfolded. Its like I covered my minds eye and I can no longer see "It". What was once so vivid is now clouded in shadow....well whatever here is some stuff out of the sketchbook

[IanE]

Whoa! These sketches and paintings are awesome! You have quite some talent! Keep up the great work!

[Sanby]

Wow, myabe I should start drawing with a blind-fold.

Wicked stuff, I really like the female heads, for some reason they really stand out to me. Nice job.

Awwwwww yeaaaaaaaaa!!!! Ha ha, that's great you posted the stuff from the other night. I don't think I could post mine, seeing as they suck ass :D I'm lovin the bear belly barbarian! I'd love to see that in a finished painting. You could do some really cool things with the color and lighting. Yeeeaaaa do that man, put him in the middle of a camp with some tents and other barbarians in the background eating like raw meat, with a little snow in the scene. DAMN that would be hot :D Ha ha, just a suggestion :) Keep 'em comin man!!!!

[thirdeye]

Great - as always, the chick is damn hot! and Wolverine has already become one of your specials. The tentacle-armed guy is a very cool idea but the anatomy looks a bit off (on the bottom one)- his left hand looks weird and it's fingers are too short and I also think that there should be something more happening in the area of the right arm where the bicep turns into the tentacles.

Your thread is one of my favourites - i'm looking forward to every update and you are finally handing them on to us more often. Keep it up.

Take care,
3rd eye

[matthew.]

u should draw comics ur style and subjects fit perfectly

:star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

[REAU]

thirdeye-thanx for the crit you are so right about the hand, now i just have to learn how to draw better

matthew- thats awesome man you get this months award for most badass comment and sure i wish C.B. Cebulski over at marvel felt that way too :)

Here is a panel that got trashed and since I'm not using it anymore I thought i would post it in here
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v94/liquidsnake/page-5-2.jpg

[Capprotti]

Yooooo, what's up man. Ballsy move trashing that panel, but I totally respect it. I think what you have coming next will be 5 times as good. Finish this shit now so I can buy it... DAMN-IT!!!!!!!!!

[Hyver]

seeing your stuff makes me wana quit life and draw all day (or rather night, probably)..
*sigh*

nice work!

KEEP IT UP :) ...my eyes are burning..

[liam.c]

yah man yah !!! go go go !

[klinesmoker]

Look, I'm not near your talent, so you can overlook this small crit if you like. All I can see that needs slight work is this: on some of your images, the clothes appear "flat" on the character. No biggie, because your imagery and action is simply astounding! You capture the moment too well!

[Capprotti]

Hell yea man! ha ha, I love that fuckin batman, Superman looks sweet too, the only thing I'd say about that is his face and his and his abs seem a little misplaced. What I mean is his abs are a facing a different direction than the angle of the contour if that makes any sense at all, same thing with the face... his features don't seem to be in the right place. I think what it is, is he's supposed to be looking up a little but his nose and mouth are facing us. Wow! I'm a huge asshole, cuz I really like the drawing by I think if you fixed those couple things (if you see them) it would be really solid. And shit take it a step further and paint it! Throw in a nice background like metropolis or gotham. Good porfolio piece. Sorry for the crit man, but this is a hot peice and I think you could make it a little hotter.

[REAU]

Mike thanks for the crit and never apologize for one again i need them...god knows i need them

[cburt]

hey reau, i really like the girls you draw, their proportions are all very believable and you tend to use good light sources on them. on these most recent posts, i really enjoyed your take on batman, the slimmer body-type is an interesting take. however, your superman is remaining super flat right now, ESP. in the cape, but i think most of the problem is just in the fact that its a very rigid pose, he's motionlessly crucified there...haha...gotta let him fly free..wow, alright, sorry for that haha, but yea, i like your work and i think you should keep it up.

[loomer]

Whoa - some beautiful sketches here...I loved them all together, and they look great as a series. Your digipaints are nice too..but they lack the personality , style and power of your sketches. I'm not saying they suck..i like them...but I LOVE your sketches! Have you every tried scanning in your sketches and doing paintovers, or applying watercolor or gouache to the sketch itself? Just ideas...but I love what you have so far. cheers-*s*

[Mr.Blonde]

I scrolled through your whole sketchbook, and both of my favorites are on the first page. It's nice to see someone that appreciates good eastern cinema- that still from Rashomon is so memorable. I also liked the bloody sequential on page one. Great last frame especially... I'd love to see more sequentials perhaps similar to the one on the first page.

[BAKI]

you are amazing
love all the x-men work and all the rest of blood and sexiness

Hey man,

Keep up the sweet sketches - just a UARTS student who was told by Jared & Kevan to drop by. They speak very highly of you. I'm looking ahead to senior year and was just wondering if as an alumni, you could recommend any professors in the Illustration department (I'm in digital track right now - I've got King, Rankin, and of course the lovable mustache-tugable Mr. Masi). Hope the post-grad life is treating you well, enjoy your art.

Excellent Chamber homage by the way.

[Jannepan]

You sure have some insane style. Highly inspirational.

[cotron]

woo, if the rating thing was working you'd get a fifth star for sure. fun stuff!

[sve]

Hello, REAU! You are awesome. I unfortunately have no idea about manga style you love so much and even apparently use for inspiration or something, but I'm smitten what and how you express yourself. Very, very great art. I don't think you can stay indifferent observing this. I know I can't. I smiled a lot in your book too. Your drawings with quotes, :). very funny, brain blowing mix of anti-propaganda hooliganism and sweet humour. I like it. Hope you didn't get any trouble because of them. Because it's very bold :).
You have so many dynamic poses on those pages, I'm deeply impressed, that's again tells a lot about you not thinking twice, but trying new things. Anatomy is great, faces are very interesting, a lot of ideas. And I like your coloring a lot, this dwarf, man sitting in snow, girl in red, awesome stuff. You already have wonderful images for Character of this week, a Battle angel. I would love to see your entry there. So great art, Thank you very much. Every page is beautiful, even when you laughing at very serious for some people things.
Sveta Dudetta

[Tigermilk]

ones again wonderful sketches!
I wish I had the knowledge of yours.

So are you planning on doing any nice tuts in digtal painting any soon? I've just been given a brand new wacom for my birthday, so I would love to see how you work. :)

Oh man! Some killer lines in here! Lets see another update...

[incolorinred]

excellent drawing. You have a great sketchbook. I like how you throw in some words in your composition.

[hurricane]

wonderfull stuff !!

pure heroin for my soul, i need more :P

cheers!

[PaulGanguly]

I completely echo what hurricane just said. I can't believe I haven't come across your sketchbook before. You have a minimalism of line that just makes all of your images pop. The lines are so clean, and the forms are so sharp. Makes me jealous, inspired and hopeful all at the same time.

Just out of curiosity, how old are you, and do you go to school still? If so, where?

Anyway, just so this isn't a complete asspat, and seeing as how this is CA, and critiques are how we movie forward, I did notice that some of your figures could have a little more dynamism to them. I think you have a little bit of a flatness issue that I also deal with, where your figures are either straight profiles, or facing directly forward. Either way, they still look better than mine.

I'm seriously going to keep an eye on this one. I look forward to seeing more. Seriously - keep it coming.

-Paul

Anyway, your sketchbook is in my top 5 favorite.

Do you use ref's for the body's, because i think your female body's rocks.

Looked and read again your thinking loud :). Smiled a lot.
I find it hilarious when you write some very smooth spiritual slogan and draw some crazy nymphomaniac near it. Boy, you are sure good in making waves on a calm water.
And those stars on on every clean spot you can find. I don't know about you, but for me the star is overexploited symbol, so, I think, that's funny.

I like this page from Mike's sketchbook very much, it doesn't look subconshious though, on opposite, looks like you were folowing some ideas. But I like this shading, figure and the stream of eyes. I saw them like a peacock's tail at first. And only later noticed that what happened with your study of an eye or something. :). Nice concept, in my opinion.

And I like your new colored piece a lot, it's very emotional and powerful.

Thank you
Sveta

Your rendering skills are unfuckingbelievable. I love the females and everything that you are doing. I truly admire your work. You are such an inspiration. I'm gonna be drawing hardcore for awhile. Are you still in school? And if so in what grade. I'm a freshman in the CIA. I would be honored to have you critique my sketcbook. Please help a brother out.

DUDE you are fuckin sick!! Do you have any formal art training? Cool I got that sketchbook!

[Lunch]

Beautiful lines, beautiful sketches, lovely mood!
This thread is what made me buy a moleskine.

[TheDirtSyndicate]

i last commented on this thread April 10th, 2004

since then you've posted a whole bunch of great stuff. and check that out, you didn't become another travis charest clone. good job!
diggin the new stuff man, keep it up.

[sve]

I'm not smiling anymore, I'm giddy :). My, oh my, I didn't know I had it in me before your thread, apparently I lost all respect, have no solid ground to stand, everything in life can be laughed out. The same goes to you, dear Reau, you have too healthy portion of cynicism in you.

First page, new perversion, I didn't know that it is a thing like this, Well, live and learn, and enjoy :). Girl's face is awesome, don't let it to be just one sketch, do more with it, she is such a joy, do painting with her. Oh, sorry, got carried away a bit, I wanted to say, please consider to use this face in some work of yours, it's full of potentials. The rest of the body is strangely small for the head, unusual thing for you.

Second page, the composition is very beautiful, still looks planned, not subconscious, but sense of beauty is lovely. "Killers are born, not made". Very good slogan, could be used by death penalty opponents. And it's not totally proved, but I think it will be discovered with time given That something wrong physically. Like these male faces a lot.

Third page, :). Oh boy. Yeah, that's very naughty. Cloudy poetry and bold naked female bottoms. Thank you, I feel so earthy. :).

The Fourth one, pushed me down a bit more. And I learnt new percussion, new word and that it is possible to want to do it with Mona Lisa eye. Respect, man :D. I believe you :).

Girls in moleskin project are beautiful.

"I only go out to build my appetite for being alone." I hear you, soul brother, lovely put too.
Two more perversions, I will never be the same again. Thank you, I guess. :)

[REAU]

sorry i missed you last time
alucard - thanx man i'm glad you like them

Alday.J - thanx i'll try to keep it up

rblitz7 - well I don't know about about sick, maybe a little cold. and yes I do have formal training in art. It sounds so much cooler saying it that way instead of I went to some art school (University of the Arts in philly).

Lunch - oh yes the legendary moleskine but the only thing that suck about the moleskine pocket is that everytime i take it out people think I'm pulling out a little bible, they always look so sad when they realize its not one... then I draw them some boobs... christians love boobs :)

complete2 - thanx for coming back and guest what Charest is still my fav artist <3

sve - dude thanx for the comments I love reading your responses to my sketches. I think your the only person on here that actually pays attention to the stuff I put into those sketches and thats awesome AND you can tell all your friends that you now know what Oculolinctus means!!! :)

here are some Call Of Cthulhu cards I did last year

Another very satisfying thread subscription! I just love your work Reau. The light in the Ocean Cthulhu work is brilliant.

[vigostar]

that first painting for the call of the Cthulhu is relly great... I think you could have done without the ship though but, I understand the sense of scale you were looking for... maybe if you had just opened up the canvas where its wider... anyways.. nice work
