Various pictures...

[Swal]

Hi!

I'm new to this forum and I 'd like to show you some examples of my work. Most of the following pictures are taken from french roleplaying books as COPS (hi Aleksi!:chug: ) and In Nomine Satanis/Magna Veritas... You'll see sketches as well.

I'll try to post more later and regularly!

See you.

nice to see some french style here dude, your work rocks !

[Noplz]

Man, I love that 2nd picture. Reminds me of Bernie Wrightson (maybe you know about him?).

[Hazart]

Respect! Awesome!

[el coro]

aw man! these are awesome! welcome to our forum. i look froward to seeing more from you. any friend of aleksi's is a welcome addition here.-c36

[Swal]

Hi!

Very glad that you appreciate all that stuff!:)

Noplz: I know Berni Wrightson and he is one of my favorite illustrator. Above all I love his damn black and white knack, he is THE MASTER OF THE MACABRE...

Thanks a lot for the welcome El Coro. As I said before, I will try to post regularly works.

In the meantime, here are some fresh stuff. All taken from kid games... And in a different style!

Holy patchoulli! That's some lively linework - you've put a lot of refreshing but subtle humor into all your drawings. The style switch-up for the children's games proves you're either a talented pro or two people sharing an account.

[Forge]

i bet on the talented pro !

[stefans]

AWESOME that black'nwhite brushwork....
....that has to be Non-Digital....

and yes....memories of .....
Berni Wrightson....THOSE HANDS....THOSE HANDS !!!!!
...or what about Hal Foster's Valiant....

...all spring into mind...

...so did you do some comics???

:chug:

[Swal]

Hi Wetterschneider!

It may be strange according the two different styles but I am the same guy...:confused: Eh I mean there is only one soul in my body. Or something else... There are several ways of understanding this concept.:)

And I don't know if I am a talented guy but I earn my living by drawing all day and night long. So I am a pro...:chug:

Swal

[RAMÓN]

your pencils kick ass, very nice.

[Fozzybar]

Oh man...so many great artists entered the last weeks/months...what's going on....anybody opened a can of artists here???

:thumbsup:

I love your work!

[ozan]

Wow! Great stuff. Nice control.

When I see people with beautiful traditional media skills I feel like such a poser. I'm off to have a tall glass of cyanide. :beer:

[Matt Dixon]

Wonderful work! I love the hitcher..!

[davidp]

wow! great handstyle loving Faucheur.jpg the guy with the skul and scythe, a great pose with an equally amazing angle.

[Swal]

Thank you all!
What a reception !

Then, here is an handful of new ones. Some of them were drawn for The Quintessential Elf II (Mongoose publishing) about to hit the shelf by the end of the current month. Others are taken from various roleplaying books... The gothic one is a digital drawing.

Any C&C are welcome !

[emperor_boy]

I love your style! I miss seeing work done in crisp inks, on subjects that don't reek of "emo art fag". Wow, these are nice. I'm going to admire these for a long time to come.

However, since these posts are made up of sketches and works that may not otherwise be considered "complete" or "polished", do all of them really go in "It's Finally Finished!"? I could be wrong, but not all of them seem section-appropriate.

Oh, but I wish I was as skilled as you are at this junction. Wow. Zing.

[Summer Pudding]

That's a rare gift you've got there swal.

[p4b10]

wow man... nice style u have...so many pics... welcome

[wolfy junior]

Salut compatriotes ! :chug:

Amazing works ! Very well executed ! Post more !!
One question, what do you use for your black ink lines? Pencils or specials pens?

[Swal]

Thank you all for the compliments!

All black and white pictures are inked with a thin 3/0 brush and china ink.
:chug:

Swal

[wolfy junior]

When you say 3/0 Brush you mean a pen or a pencil ?

Tu veux dire au pinceau ou au stylo?
Si c'est Stylo, quelle marque qui donne cet aspect très fin-épais?
Sorry to ask it in French, but my english is really poor!

[bRyaN]

He means brush...3/0 are the sizes of those brushes he uses...

Welcome to our forums bro your stuff is excellent...your brushstrokes are so crisp...i am a big fan of those inked lines...

[Swal]

Ok, so let's go for a little french lesson!

N'importe quel pinceau fait l'affaire tant qu'il s'agit d'un 3/0 en taille et qu'il est prévu pour faire de l'aquarelle. Après, les déliés viennent avec la pratique.

In rough english: any brush will do nicely, downstrokes and upstrokes coming with the practical experience!:)

Swal

[Ra Havok]

Vraiment fantastique, Swal. J'adore chaque image!

Are you in the BD bizz? Or just roleplaying/illustrating?

In any way, I have nothing negative to say.. I'll continue to oogle at your pretty drawings now! :)

[tegehel]

ouaaaaiiisss!

et vive la France! Joli, Swal, jo-li!

[AmadorL]

[dem0n]

awesome style you got here, you ever made an own comic or something?

[krAtul]

hola hola hola
mais c'est quoi tous ces français qui parlent jamais français du coup on les voit pas !

Swal, tres tres bon niveau général dans ton boulot, et j'aime le fait que tu saches adopter plusieurs styles (indispensable pour devenir pro à mon sens)

Je sais pas trop où vous habitez (swal, wolfy, tegehel)
mais ya un thread spécial pour les parisiens (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22407) ainsi que pour les français en général (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21940), allez y faire un tour..

[LiveWire]

i love your line quality, awsome, may i ask what matirals you use?
i would love know.

great stuff.

[egerie]

tout comme krAtul.

ça déchiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiireu !

[liquidwerx]

Nice work! Welcome. :)

[brkofdon]

i have to say something! your stuff is great!!! i love your cartoony stuff that just my personal pref. a lot of style in your work. the first pieces you posted have an old school comic book look especially your line work. then you get to your cartoony stuff and your style sorta switches which is the bomb diggity!!!

great! damn i need to draw some more...argh! :D

i actually have one of your images on my wallpaper! thankyou.

[Aleksi]

Yeah !! :D
Your B&W is really excellent !! I really love your inking.
There's something fresh in it...I agree too with the humor in a lot of your illustrations...
Really cool to see more of your other color works too.

post more !!

Maybe you can show us some of your comics pages...

[Red_Rook]

My Friend you are magic witha brush. :chug:

[Lono]

Man! this stuff has got sooo much character..
wealcome.

-Lono

[Prometheus|ANJ]

U gots da flow fo shizzle!

Um, yeah, really nice. Nothing more to say really. Just wanted to praise.

The pencilled magician is my fav. Pencil is somehow less 'set' than ink and can have more meanings... Ugh, I don't know how to word myself.

[sone_one]

awwwwww....awsome stuff!

[Layil]

Very solid work. Great composition and line widths, and your use of value and placement of blacks rocks. I occasionally see some anatomy issues and your proportion is off once in a while, but over all, very very nice.

please post more!
