Character's World

[character]

Hey all. Finally got around to starting one of these. I hope you all enjoy viewing these drawings as much as I enjoy making them. It's gonna be slow for now because I'm working on my 3D Demo Reel. That WIP thread can be found here (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=22309) or at the bottom in my sig. Take care and enjoy =)

Random sketches on notes during class:

This one started as a 5 minute study but then I had to go back to class so I drew some sketches around her:

One more life drawing sketch, don't remember how much time i spent on it, but it was quick:

[insane visions]

let me be the first person to comment...man all I gotta say is keep posting...thanks for being a cool friend...

[character]

Hey Rich. I'll post as often as I can. And anytime bro, hang in there =)

[brkofdon]

let me be the second. ha.

sup, love the line style. your figure drawings i like the most. especially 007.jpg, the girl with her hands behind her head. nice form, good use of strokes/hatching. what kind of pen are you using.

your line work is reminding me of MIKECORRIERO and how you carry the line to create form. cool.

alright man cya around, hope to grab maya from ya soon...i got a bit drunk last night had 2 32oz miller high lifes...

-don

[SeraphSword]

Cool style, very loose. My fav has to be the dude with the sword on the first page, althought the life drawing and gestures are cool too.

[character]

Thanks for the comments Don and SeraphSword. Much appreciated =)

And finally, an update. Had to rescue this from page 2, hehe. Did these today. Oh, and btw, my site is up. link on my sig. It's a temp site I built real quick in Dreamweaver while my buddy from school builds the good looking site and makes it all fancy. peace peace

sorry it's been so long since the update. been doing alot of 3d work lately and was looking for a job. i found 2 so hopefully i'll be able to draw again soon. anyways, here's something i whipped up just now in bewtween textures. had to loosen up

http://img51.photobucket.com/albums/v155/Character/CAForum/Daily_Sketchbook/30MAY04/going-home.jpg

[insane visions]

as I look at your pen sketches I can tell youre really having fun with it...and the strokes looks really confident...peace

[van]

Love this stuff. Keep posting. :)

[Yina]

love the loose-ness in your style!

[Josef K.]

wow very cool loose sketches!
cant wait to see more

[afklamer]

Wow those are awesome!

more !

[jerO]

nice stuff, man.
i fear the contour!

/me goes back to scribbling

[character]

thanks for the comments. and this whole time i thought know one would notice, hehe. i'm glad you guys all like the loose stuff. i prefer to draw like that. whenever i start going into detail i usually loose it, well, only when i start off loose. if i want tight, i have to start tight. wierd enit? anyways, here are my notes that i took this morning while reading over the coffee bean orientation manual. started today at 6am. then had school from 12-4 and started my second job at papa johns at 5:30-9pm. GOOD STUFF, haha. anyways, here ya go:

I want to see more. These are wicked! Especially your first post.

[van]

Great anatomy studies. Keep it coming!

[character]

Hey all. Here's a small update. Not much time to draw with 3 jobs and school. most of my school efforts are in 3d atm, but I do what I can. Pece peace:

me and brkofdon1 did these. they were fun =) Sorry for double posting(in the oc thread already) but I'm sure not everyone here goes there.

[van]

Rock on! Great stuff. I love that Tree thing in the lower right corner of the last page. :) The coloring is just...cool. :p

[Yina]

wow your pen work is great!

[bahamut]

though i dont like your 3D models i REALLY like youre penwork&style on these sketches! youre definitely much more of a drawer than a modeler

[Keepiru]

Wow character, great stuff. Your pen style is off the chain, it looks like you never even pick it up when youre drawing, and that takes alot of talent to get good at! Your gestures are also nice, and have just the perfect amount of infornmation. I think I could learn a thing or two. Post more soon!

[buzzz3d]

Yes, I really like this wild sketchy style, like the pen has a life of its own. More :D

[character]

hey all. i know it's been awhile but i've been so buzy lately that i've not time to draw really which really sucks. but i've managed to get some free time lately so here we go again =) enjoy:

Thanks Mr Frost. I'm glad you like my stuff. Here's another update for all of ya's =)

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/blady01.jpg

i was trying to come up with a mate for corona on this one. first shot at it. got kinda curious to see some color on him so i splashed some in there. nothing too fancy, still learning color theory
http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/purple.jpg

this is my character named "Corona". I'm re-designing her for either a graphic novel or a video game format. her old design was made for tv animation:

[character]

hey cotron, thanks for stopping by. i plan on doing a few more thumbs before settling on a pic. i'll keep ya updated =)

[stewart one]

hey man. thanks for the response in my sketchbook. Youve got some promising stuff here. i can see youre definetely on the right track. keep it up!

[character]

thank you thank you =) check back soon for an update. gonna spend the rest of my free time to work on my thunderdome entry. thinking of going straight pencils. we'll see =)

[buzzz3d]

Great stuff, I like the dynamics in your drawings.
Keep it up.

[mentler]

Just went through your thread ::: like your work a great deal ::: particularly your looser drawings ::: you seem to have a good feel for form and I like the way you go about searching it out.

THX: For your comments on the Dom thread people either love it or hate it.
It is either a 5 or a zero vote, no in between. Of course you get the zeros from people who are still eating their crayons and shouldn't really have voting rights on this forum (they prove that by giving threads that have a 5 star rating a zero just to bring it down. These people think their opinion is more important that everyone else. Are it proves is that they have a lack of taste. I have had 3 or 4 zeros in a row on the Dom thread which was a 5 for ever. It is also in the CA's best gallery, which means these zero givers, which never post by the way, think they are smarter than the administrators.

[Jokisalo]

lots of a hot stuff!! arr man.. keep posting 'cos ill be definetely watching you!
and if you got time could you please drop by in my sketchbook.

[character]

buzzz3d: hey, thanks! glad you like my stuff. means alot from someone i look up to as an artist. your paintings are very inspiring. keep on drawring =)

mentler: hey, thanks for stopping by. glad you dig it. i wouldn't worry too much about the stars or anything. just ignore 'em i guess. unless of course they start posting flames, then shoot 'em in the butt.

Jokisalo: thank you thank you =) i took a gander at it yesterday but didn't have time to comment. i'll definitely stop by again after this. see you there =)

and now, my t-dome entry =)

well, been awhile since i last posted. been super busy working 3 part time jobs trying to pay the bills and finish school. hopefully i'll graduate this quarter. good news tho, i scored a job at a place called tomo software where we're developing a game for the cell phone and i'm doing all the artwork from now on. i'm so happy it's nuts. i get to quit 3 of my other jobs since this one more than makes up for 'em. now i'll finally have some free time to work on my demo. and i've been thinking of making a short after i finish school. we'll see. anyways, i would do a huge post but i don't have time to scan everything and resave, upload, etc so i'm gonna share something with you i did last night and just finished off. linework you'll see in an earlier post, the colors tho i did after watching one of feng zu's dvd's. after i finished it, i noticed that it kinda came out looking in the style of prostate sunrise. whereever you are, you f'n rule. thanks for coloring that one pic for me. it blew my mind. i'll have to find your sketchbook thread as soon as i get some more free time. peace out all. enjoy, or not. it's a free universe

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/jeano_001.jpg

oh yeah, here's a redesign of santa clause i did for school. i won first place in the contest. not sure what i won yet tho but the school is ineterested in making it a poster and posting it up on the walls:

i found a new pen today. my friend at school let me borrow it 'cause i forgot to stuff my pen and pencil in my pocket this morning in a rush to go to school. once i started i couldn't put it down. unfortunately, she had to go home eventually so i had to give it up. but tomorrow, i'm going to office max and buying a box. i love discovering new pens. i just love inks. the pen in question, by the way, is a uniball jetstream. it's a ball point pen but amazingly handles and performs like a refillable ink pen. it's nuts. the lines are so beautiful. i started with the thingy in the middle with the stuff just stickin out. after that i did the eye above it and to the right, then the messed up face on the bottom left, followed by the arm, then the monster on the top left, tree guy next to him, girls face next to the half, well, 70% naked girl on the right, then the guy under the thingy that i started on, then the figure on the top of the page, then the face on the top right, then the 70% nekkid girl on the far right. i added the captions at the end of it all. just thought i'd drop that info in case anyone was interested. click on the image for the full size version. 350k, beware

cartoon fox, this ones for you =p

hey man, cool stuff as usuall. thanks ^-^

that creature on the top left looks cool, it looks like a griffin head with a sort of cool double beak (although im sure they're just teeth ^-^)


looking forward to you next update

in case anyone hasn't noticed, i'm really bad at coming up with something thought provoking and moving in my replies when comments are left behind. so all i can say is thanks for coming by and say thanks for leaving your thoughts on my artwork. see, i already ran out of things to say, hehe. so anyways, without further adooooo, here's a small drawing i made today during my lunch break. didn't eat, so i just drew. (btw, i work at a coffee house on the weekends. in case you're wandering about the "no sugar added!", it's reference to the customers that go ballistic when they don't get thier drink the right way.)

hey peoples. been pretty busy lately with work and other projects. can't really show anything i'm doing on the side projects unfortunately so you're stuck with some sketches i did during a meeting yesterday =p. also, the colored piece was my entry into the "expose yourself 2" contest held by alias. did that thing in that sketchbook program they have. pretty nifty. the rest are either some old sketches i scanned in or something i've done in the past few days in the morning before work. peace peace

[Odds]

thing i love most about these are the bodies themselves... without the heads. the cartoony style is funny, but i wanna see something that kicks ASS! imo, you should work on heads the most. your bodies are solid. not seein' too many 3/4ths views... so do more of those. keep up the good work, and good to hear you're outta Papa John's. :D

[character]

hey, thanks odds. unfortunately, heads are the one thing i'm not as good at which is why i draw 'em cartoony. i kinda dig it but alot of people mention it. i try to work on 'em more and more but they never match the bodies. i don't know what it is. i really have trouble drawing from observation when it comes to faces which is a major factor in this i think. i dunno, i'll try hard with some good ref's or maybe do some sp's or something. we'll see what happens. thanks for stopping by man. cool hanging out with you today at the meet, even if it was for only an hour =p

here's the stuff from the meet btw =) :

[codakromek]

These were fun to look through,, the ones where you loosen up you hand because of conte or cuz' you are more confident in the subject matter are my favorites... The last page and the other B/W one before it are really good looking.. pages where all the drawings are good look really rewarding.

how there are lots of thumb-nail size drawings around the last page seems really to keep your hand moving and not dawdle too long on a small detail or area..

Your drawings look alot better when you are thinking with thumb-nail sketches as you go towards a larger more intensive drawing. It seems to give you more control and dynamism. When you are kind of just going back and forth between them it seems like you are firing on all cylinders.

Just thought you should know that, in case it is so natural to you, you don't see it.

keep posting

[mentler]

I feel better after looking at your works ~ great energy particularly the pencils

[character]

codakromek :wow, thanks for that. it was like a palm reading or something. i never thought of it in those ways but it makes sense. crazy how you were able to analyze that through a few drawings =) thanks for comin' by

mentler :hrmm, i'll have to keep posting then to make sure you don't run out of meds =)

cheers !

[Gusgus]

Fuckin Awesome as always man. your getting progressively more insane. and your works gettin alot better too. I always liked the way you intuitively added insane details in your character drawings that followed the natural form of the body and added an immense feeling of flow and direction.

Keep up the kick ass work.

Man, talk about mileage... really massive works, buddy.

I feel bad for not checking this out more often. I really liked the works on Feb 23rd.

I'll check back in soon, sir!

Ian

[Form]

hey man!

had fun looking through your book. I think our styles will mesh well (go sinister 6 woot!). Maybe we can do a collab some time soon.

In regards to the last piece, and your overall rendering style. SOmething i picke dup while oc'ing with hurricane is the importance of blending, even in stylistic rendering. Its good that you have identified planes and shapes like int he neck, but delineating them so strongly can sometimes harm the piece. A lot of stylistic 'looks' only work in series - i can see ten of these together looking awesome, but as a one of the rendering looks awkward (if you take my meaning).

Have a look at good pencilworks and hatching (insane_visions, wes9000) and see what i mean by how they identify planes and shapes but still blend it all nicely so the form holds together.

Looking forward to working with you man.

Peace
Adam

[haiku]

Hey Character,

Cool sb so far.
I gotta go with Form, i think you need to work on your values and blend them with the other lines , in order to give it a more natural and realistic feeling.

[|NTeRN]

sup Character

im really digging your animal studies but id be nice to see some not profile view or straight on shots. get some 3/4 view in there mang!. also a few more rendered envrios + anaimals would be dope

[SicFrost]

i love your overall progress man, theres alot of diversity in this thread \m/

[character]

thanks guys. i agree with you on the rendering form. the thing is, i don't understand what you're saying. i need to see it happening in front of me to actually get it. the whole shading bit that is. this is why i like sticking to lineart. i don't have to color it. here's something i was fiddling with. girlfriend said it needed more tones/shadows etc. but when i asked her how to implement it, she went blank. so, any tips? or is this good? is it finished? i dunno. i thought i was =\

http://www.polylover.com/sb/birdie003.jpg

and here's the sketch where it came from:

http://www.polylover.com/sb/sorry.jpg

and here's another sketch page from the sketchbook
http://www.polylover.com/sb/001.jpg

[SicFrost]

i think itll do :}

[fukifino]

Whassup, dude? hope you don't mind, but I did a quicky paintover of sekseh bird man...

http://www.forestzachman.com/images/forum_images/character_birdie003_PO.jpg

The main thing I wanted to point out was what a difference cast shadows can make. They really go a long way in helping to define the form and show spacial relationships between objects. I just threw a luminosity layer on top of yours and threw down some grays, blacks and whites in a few places to add cast shadows and a little lighter areas. There's also a quick overlay area to add some hot spot highlights both for interest and material. Oh yeah, and I threw a quick Color layer on there to blue-ify the shadows and warm up the beak and armor a little in a few places.

I dunno if it helps or anything.

[character]

hey man, thanks for the input. i'll keep that in mind for the next one and touch this one up a bit.

here's something i did today:
http://www.polylover.com/sb/002.jpg

here's the ref
http://www.polylover.com/sb/002b.jpg

[SicFrost]

thats nice, but the vastus internus is a bit wrong ...nice work though..love the shadin'

[Sorknes]

Heya Char, some nice pen work in here. :)

I agree on the overall blending/shading/tones/whatever, but I do understand what you mean when you say you need to see it in front of you. Hope some more people will help you out on that.

Your anatomy is coming along great, keep going on that. Tons better than mine. ;) Like the shading on the last one too, even though proportions look a lil bit off, they're way closer than mine would've been anyway...

[character]

hey, thanks sorky. appreciate it =)

[Odds]

awesome pen studies, guillermo. where were you today? i sat at flak's for a good 30 minutes. :(

[Form]

hey man i dunno if its just me but im getting a whole lot of red x's right now...?

[Form]

Updaaaaaaate

[character]

wow, how long has it been? almost a month and a half i think since the last update. been so out of it artwise. just been lazy lately. finally starting to snap out of it. picked up some freelance work. hopefully it'll turn into something regular. i wanna save up some cash and buy an 11x17 scanner cause my sketchbooks are so huge.

odds: did you get my pm? sorry man =( work

form: here ya go bro. SINISTER SIX IN DA HOUSE! REPRESENT! WUT?!

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/13sep05/002.jpg

[Ferg]

wow, your improvement is great!

Your work has been getting better very fast. Your senses of anatomy and proportion are really maturing. The one thing that isn't quite up to the level of everything else is your faces. I'd advise the usual: studies.

Here's a really cool little site with a bunch of mugshots from some jail... anyway they make for good practice. Hope this helps.

http://thnom.tehunlose.com/model_resource/

I'll definately be keeping an eye on this stuff

[Form]

reprazizent!! WAT!

is that actually red pen? nice! now i would say fix your anatomy, excepet that i know you rwork better and it actually shows your knowledge (like mentlers stuff). So yeh, im liking the distortion, and its all good, and now i just want more.

keep your shit together homeboy, and keep updating!

[character]

wow, that's an awesome site ferg . although, why do they have a mexican under the black section? lol I know what you mean tho about the faces. it's something i've always been pretty bad in. i'll do more studies fo' sho. thanks again for the link and for postin'

Form: thanks man. glad you're diggin' this stuff. i'll update again soon. i'll hit you up.

[Pixeldragoon]

so here's a model that i've been slaving away on all weekend. spent about 20-25 hours on it alone saturday and today. maybe around 40 hours total. Been a long journey but it's finally finished. just thought i'd show it to let you guys know what i've been doing besides drawing. this is for my girlfriends short btw =)

http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2005/sep/bb001web.jpg

[Groover McNab]

Hey dude, your stuffs looking better and better everytime I see it. Nice model too :vodka2:

[Craig Houghton]

I love the beaked guy from last page -- w/ or without the paint-over.

I bet everyone that stops by says so, but I love the linework. There's a groping organic feel to it.

btw, Bugle boy has a hell of a haircut. I bet it takes him hours to get it to shine like that. ;) Well done

-Craig

[antquin]

reminds me of the work of heinrich kley. i'd suggest experimenting with a greater economy, to determine what lines you need, which ones you can deemphasize, do without. then, again, i'm a lazy drawing guy.

[character]

Groover McNab: cool man. thanks! and right back atcha man =)

Craig Houghton: thanks dude! glad you're diggin bird man. he was fun to do. and on bugle boys haircut: one word, Murray's $$

antquin: dude, i checked out a site with Heinrichs stuff. he is amazing! he had everything down tight! thanks for pointin' me in his direction. i know what you mean about the lines. i dunno, i like 'em that way. we'll see what happens. i know i need to economize more. maybe it'll hit me in a year or something, heh

And, this isn't really an update, more of a "Character, this is your life!" thing. Here are some drawings i uploaded for haiku to check out. this is stuff from high school and from my time in the army. this stuff all dates 5-10 years ago. go ahead and have a laugh, hehe. the gargoyle with the hip thrusting pose is the best. he's ready to give it to someone, haha

was experimenting in pshop right now. i wanted to see what a drawing would look like if i shaded every stroke. like all the extra hacthing and extra lines without trying to clean 'em off or anything. enjoy

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/2005/sep/thenewbreed.jpg

[bizarre]

i love you.

[romance]

Character,

You have some fantastic stuff here. Really love the heads. I particularly like the flamingos and the 'horse skull' demon head.

Your recent photoshop experimentations are A1, I'd definitely like to see more.
Viewed your website, looks great.

One crit though. Some of your renders kinda look flat. This might be happening because the shading used on them is all going in one direction. Try shading around the form. Break the object/objects into basic shapes in your mind, or even in another sketch and then shade them accordingly; following the curves and planes of their surfaces. This takes practice, but eventually your sketches will scream volume.

Keep up the amazing work.

-Rob

[character]

bizarre: me too hun <3

romance: hey, thanks man! glad you're diggin' my stuff. thanks for the tips. i tried working some more into this one, i hope i'm heading in the right direction. if not, can you point out what's wrong with it? maybe do a quick paintover? if not, an explanation is fine. thanks again!

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/2005/sep/breed002.jpg

[romance]

Hi Character,

this is definitely a good start. There are a few things that could use a tweak. Since the light is coming from the top left, the arm should cast a shadow on any portion of the torso below it. But remember, the cast shadow won't shade anything that would be affected by bounced light.

When I get the chance, hopefully in the next day or so, I'll do a shape breakdown for you on this particular piece.

-Rob

[character]

romance: thanks man. i appreciate it. can't wait to see what you do.

here's another one i started. i think i'm starting to get the idea of what you're talkin about. i think i got it at the left shoulder. what does everyone think?

http://www.polylover.com/dailysketchbook/2005/oct/guns001.jpg

[Nutter]

I love to see a bit of 3D in sketchbooks, I do some 3D work also in my spare time. Great sketching too.

cheers.

[romance]

Here's a quick shape and lighting breakdown of your torso sketch. It's far from perfect, but it may help.

Your most recent sketch needs more work. What I think is hindering this sketch from being a good piece is the silhouette and the proportions in your anatomy. Try bringing the arm on the left away from the body, (point the gun away from the viewer).
Having a firm foundation in construction and compostion is far more important then good rendering.

Looks good to me!
But remember, I'm not a pro. I'm just relaying info I've learned, I can only hope that it's correct ;)
Love the new stuff too, your costuming skills are quite creative. its something I definitely need to work on, seems all my drawings are of nudes.
Looking forward to seeing more.
-Rob

[character]

romance: cool! glad you dig it. thanks alot for the help. really helped me understand the whole light source thing by you building that model. and don't fret on that costume thing dude, i did nothing but nudes for like 2 years, heh

and here's some more. i can't believe i stayed up till 4 drawing last night. would have stayed up all night but gf dragged me to bed, hehe. anyways, here's some from when i woke up that i just finished:

[PaulGanguly]

Your models are hella cool. There's tremendous progress between the first few images in this thread and now.

I dig some of the more recent ones, the really ornate looking armaments and things.

One thing I noticed is that some of your lines look like, shaky, almost. As though you're second guessing yourself mid-penstroke. It makes your work look unconfident. You have no need to be. Some of these could be really fantastic pieces with a little more polish.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Keep 'em coming.

hi there character, just went through this sb and really like the way you handle a pencil or pen. especially like the more loose and rough stuff you have, the hatching really brings out the form in those.

Nice big update. I'm liking the pen stuff.

Try to utilize the toned brown paper with white more when you use it.. It will give you much more value right out of the gate. Where you did use white.. it looks more like you kind of outlined with it or something, rather than using it to define highlights

[hurricane]

awesome update dude !!

keep on updating now, dont stop

cheers!

[krakel]

you got some real nice stuff in here.. keep it up and maybe try to do some other stuff too.. environments, props, whatever.. some lifedrawings? keep posting

peace

[seth1]

Hmm! Cant really crit it at this stage! You really need to start tighting things up adding form and shape to it! Right now it looks completly flat... Your pencil work is pretty amazing keep up with that...

[cotron]

hey dude- batman's looking pretty cool- something to think about with his lips, in real life the top lip tends to be darker than the bottom because it's making a shadow... also I would knock the value of his mouth back a bit to make it seem less noticable... otherwise it's looking sweet. lots of progress in this thread!

[character]

thanks man. i'll hit that up when i work on him next. probably this weekend. i dunno. i just got my feng zhu environment dvd's!!!! i'm so excited, haha. anyways, thanks for the feed back dude. u rule!

[jkior]

holy jeepers mccrow your pen sketches are fantastic! I think the digitals where you've utilized your awesome pen skills the most are the strongest. . .like the small one in post 155, and the first one in post 139. . .the first one in #167 is like that too. . .hmmm. . .*saves for master copy studies*

[character]

thanks jkior =) i'm really glad you dig the inks. it's my favorite medium so it's cool to see it's appreciated even tho it's teh sux.

http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2005/DEC/mex1.jpg

been on a robot/mech binge lately thanks to an idea that sparked whilst talking to The Davi in irc.

btw, critiques on everything in here is welcome. well, except for those high school drawings, heh. those are over 10 years old

[Hyver]

i'm thinking we're gonna make it to "fastest progression sketch group" soon.. great job bro!

[PaulGanguly]

Your sketchbook rocks my face.

That is all.

haha, that'd be awesome hyver. you're kicking mucho ass yourself

Last nights drawings from the workshop. The them was road warrior. I'll put the rest up when i get home tonight. These were all done on 11x14 with prismacolor charcoal. C&C very much welcome

[character]

oh yeah, sorry i haven't posted anything new. my roommate moved out and i was using her scanner. i'm saving up to buy one of those 11x14 scanners so updates will slow down a bit more than usual

[khan]

It was nice meeting you at the workshop the other night. Very cool sketchbook. I hope you get your scanner soon. I just found out that Borders is now carrying a few LAMY ballpoint pens. You should give em a try.

-Luke

[IanE]

Wow... lots of work since July....

Sketches are kicking ass... keep 'em coming, man! No crits from me except update when you get that scanner and I will for sure do the same!

[character]

khan - right back at ya bro. those pens are on my list of things to get next time i resupply $$

IanE - welcome back dude! i'm thinking of laying out my sketches and just taking a big snapshot of that, heh. scanning takes forever!

here's some Zbrush stuff i've been doing for a friend that's going to AI. he's building a single player level for the source engine. i messed up by building the legs and the head seperate from the body. i've restarted it with a better zsphere layout and this time it'll all be one piece. i'll post some progress when i work on it some more. have some enviros i gotta do and that bassist model from a page or 2 back to finish up. who needs coffee? I'll be on an unemployment break soon so i'll be able to get some real studying in again. can't wait.

[mitch]

wow man, awesome sketches. i'm diggin the more realistic one for some reason(but dont get me wrong, they are all lookin good) i'd like to see more completed work though. keep it up man. -peace-

[IanE]

That is one crazy looking creation you have there, sir.... How's your friend like AI? I personally found AI Houston to be more of a business than anything... but that's just me, and just that school. Either way, that creature looks awesome! Be sure and let me know when it's done and what he does, I'm an avid fan of the Source engine!

[character]

mitch : Thanks man. I'm workin on finishing some stuff this week. I'll post it as I get it done =)

IanE : He's digging it I guess. It's really about what you put into it. I graduated from there last year and I've found if you don't take it upon yourself to learn outside of class, then you're gonna get stuck not knowing anything when you graduate

I drove up to San Francisco this weekend to catch coro and sbarbers shows. fuckin sick shit. I got to meet a bunch of cool people and finally got to meet insane visions, coro and wifey, bomba, steakron and like 20 other people. sorry i don't remember everyones name. i'm so bad with that =( everyone there was super cool. unfortunately i was a dumbass and left my passenger side window down and when i got back to my car, my backpack was gone and my glove compartment had gotten spread out over my front seat =\ I lost a ton of sketches from the HL2 project as well as other things i've got going on. so i had to basicly start over on sunday when i got back. here's what i've done in the past 2 days. yesterdays progress was delayed a bit. I drove back home to see some family and friends. anyways, it's all real loose and sketchy cause i'm just looking for something i like or something that works. I don't like to commit to a piece after 2 or 3 sketches. i need to really lay ideas down and juice the fuck out of my brain. anyways, enough talk. here you go:

[character]

hey, thanks guys. your words humble me =)

here are some rough concepts to get ideas down for a mummy character for this mod team i'm on at my old school. gonna do some value comps and send them in to the director. i'd post the ref but it's all copyrighted. basicly found it all in books on ancient egypt, google, and the mummy dvd's =)

evil: KEKEKE ^__^

sith: thanks man =) you're making some solid progress in your sketchbook. keep up that rendering! don't forget to mess around and draw some big boobs or something, that'll give your thread a higher rating! lol

here's something i'm working on for some friends at school:
http://www.polylover.com/gfx/3d/creature002b.jpg

and here's something i did the other night on my friends tablet pc while we played D&D:

[sith]

Haha, I think i'm going to give your suggestion a shot. Tell me if this is a good start.

http://i44.photobucket.com/albums/f39/Sithimorada/sketchbook/ridic.jpg

[dCepT]

Awesome stuff... I like the post from march 8th... the dude in the elaborate armour rocks.

Some of your quick sketches are a bit hard to read... But then again they're just quick sketches... I'm guessing you'd clean 'em up before doing anything else with 'em..hehe...

peace

d-C

[character]

sith: 5 stars from me! hehe

dcept: yeah, before i would spend a bit more time on the sketches, but after watching feng and church and a bunch of other people paint/draw through either their dvd's or live demos i've learned to stop sketching something if i don't like where it's going, THEN start working on it some more. i mean, that's standard stuff that all the badasses do, so why not try it? it definitely helps seed out all the bad ideas. i haven't really finished anything lately but i will tomorrow. gotta do some tdome stuff

well, watched lady and the tramp tonight. managed to get some time with my sketchbook on the couch during the flick. once it was over i pooped on it in photoshop and came out with this crap:

good color choices on the last drop imho....cool style added too....keep at it...doing great :android:

thanks warlock. still learning this color theory stuff. i know i'm probably mucking it up, heh

here's a texture i'm working on for an SDK being released by poopinmymouth and MoP:

[Grooveholmes]

That creature texture is looking good man... starting to gain 'character'. Are you going to leave it black and white or use that as an overlay and color it?

[character]

no, that's just the base lighting. gonna go in and add texture overlays, color, etc. thanks for the comment bud =)

[Hyver]

i just noticed you live in Tarzan

ain't got nothing to crit on for now.. i'm just loving those sketchbook pages..
maybe time for something epic and erm.. finished?

little by little i'm building up the confidence for more finished stuff. that last tdome piece is the closest thing i've gotten done in awhile. i just have a huge problem with perspective but i'm working on it. we'll see what happens

and here's last nights crap. almost all of 'em are from ref:

Wow you suck ass burrito. J/k.

Lovely linework, but in all your 3/4 heads there's a weird skew, especially the last batch.

Reviewomglolzplzkthxbye.

[character]

yeah, i'm not sure what i'm missing when i'm drawing these. it's just that perspective problem of mine. i have a really hard time grasping it =\

just finished this finally:

post 3 for the day! wooty woot
got inspired to do an sp after what i saw intern was doing, prepare for major suckage!
http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/sp001.jpg

[Dile_]

Nice sketchbook Character!
cool Zbrush stuff and characters!
there is a huge improvement between the first page and this last page!
;) :D

[Cookiedough]

So much friggin neat stuff in here, man! Seriously loving your stuff. Hey, where's El Mustacho?

I think with the SP, you went to the hard small brushes a bit too soon, so now it's a bit scribbly here and there. Maybe attempt again soon? Bigger brushes!

[character]

here's another one. this is getting addicting. i didn't notice until just now but the eye on the right is too high. i think my problem is that i'm going to fast. i'm still trying to find my pace. oh well, we'll see how the next one comes out
http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/sp002.jpg

Dile: Thanks for the kind words =)
Cookie: thanks for the feedback. i tried sticking with the same size brush this time around. definitely got a better result. not the best, but better. and maybe i'll do some el mustacho's today. if you're lucky =p

edit: hahaha i just noticed the triple decker chin

[character]

here are some more from this weekend and this morning. i fucked with that sp a bit. i'm sure the android and clive barker inspiration are obvious. everything else is either from the D&D game yesterday or from the last few days along with some concepts for a tdome

keep going keep drawing!

[fooxoo]

I like this page a lot, cool thumbs, I gotta start doing that too! http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/007.jpg

[evildisco]

Ewwww, you did an SP of your ugly pirate mug.

HAhah, well it looks like you that for sure.

Still the skew problem is present, try doing center lines and guides before tackling the features on faces, if you are not doing that.

The thumbs are kickass on the other hand.

[character]

dile: thanks dude. i'm trying to update this as often as i can
fooxoo: thanks. try 'em out. it's really fun making all these mini-illos, hehe
disco: thanks for the tips dude. i'll keep that in mind from now on. i'm just so used to drawing all sloppy that i forget about the guidelines

and here's what's been keeping me busy since yesterday:
http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/wip001.jpg

almost done with the geometry. still need to add flesh on the face which i'm gonna use opacity so you can see the teeth underneath. should be done tonight but i've got some business to take care of so it might not happen until tomorrow. peace out

[Brall]

Holy shit, this thread is a gold mine of creativity. I think you have some really killer designs going on in here.

I'm really looking forward to seeing more in the future!

[Cookiedough]

I agree, fucking great stuff, character. I still think you should use bigger brushes to paint, but the pencil stuff looks ace. I'm so in love with that mummy!

[character]

hey, thanks guys. still learning this painting thing. i'm thinking of stopping for awhile until i can take a class on oils or something. i paint with no direction and i just end up with shitty results =\ anyways, here's some sketches from the other day:

Some cool creatures and the 3d renderings look good, especialy the last egypt guy.
Keep it up:D

[evildisco]

I want to see that one.

Anyhoo, I approve.

Bwahahaha, that mummy both scares me and makes me laugh out loud. Very much loving the betty page doodles.... wish you'd ink some of these! Very nice poses.

[Hyver]

yay for 420 goodness - just keep on keeping it up my man ;)

[magicgoo]

Looks like a fun theme night!

here's some color studies with some of the sketches:
http://www.polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/diamondscomp.jpg

[feeesh]

nice sketchbook! I especially like the pages with lots of small figures doodled all about. That last posting of the colors over sketches are great. I love those. It looks like you went a bit bolder or thicker with the colors over the sketch than in some of your older colored pieces. I think it works way better. The first 2 girls are great, sorta dominatrix babes.

:swepimp: feeeeeeeeeeeesh

[character]

feeesh: thanks feeesh. i am getting bolder. i might even go to..200px brush! heh. anyways, i couldn't,er, didn't want to go to sleep tonight so i did this and some other stuff:

http://polylover.com/DailySketchbook/2006/04APR/onpatrol.jpg

[Kian]

Very cool sketchbook. I can only suggest developing some of the awesome quick loose sketches you have
