[mull77]

Nearly a month now dude! Come on, update!

Love the last few enviros by the way.

[tuchten]

yeah, i know im totaly off.
thanks for the comments guys, cant blame anyone for giving up on me.

here some new work.
thing is, im stuck with my laptop and it messes up the colours and values like nothing iv ever seen before. generally it makes the pictures look more contrasted and dark, wich means that they propably are really lame. yeah.

[Dirty C]

Last page of faces is awesome, dude. Some of them are totally Frank Miller :D

[Listing]

some of those environments are amazing. Great work. Your figures are well structured but to give them the same subtlety present in the enviros produce more life studies.

[oishiiniku]

Oof! This thread was a big kick in the nuts. Love your figures/character designs and your confidence with marker pens. Great colour work too. Keep going!!!

Ta, Nick.

[lewiston]

really like your army characters. and these confident lines you do your portraits with. great book - gotta luvit.

[voraz]

Great sketchbook, love your style. those last characters look very good they are made in such a simple and confident way!
cheers

[tuchten]

dirty_c, thanks for dropping by! frank miller is not to be messed with, but im not a huge fan of his.. but i guess the sketches kinda looks like his style..=)

listing, oishiiniku, voraz, thanks you people! so glad you liked the sketchbook! =)

Beautiful stuff, subscribed :yayca:

Keep it up!

[Jason Snair]

I dig your "artist Tuchten" Promo piece up above too. nice colors

[CGMonkey]

Some really cool stuff in here. I really dig your style. We should hook up and take some sketchbook sessions when I'm back at HBG sometime, so I can crit your images:]

[Gryphon]

I really enjoy your enviros and the military sketches. Nice stuff!

[tuchten]

[Bojee]

I like it, but the car looks a little stiff for some reason. :)

[tuchten]

[Lake]

Hot DAMN Tuchten - looking good! Always said I liked your colors, and I'll say it again: nice palette. nice composition. great linework - very expressive and confident; it shows where the light hits without rendering.

One thing I noticed (and I only noticed this because I do it myself... and I do it a LOT more than you do, so...) is that most of the character's faces are pointing to the left. Not a HUGE deal, compositionally or anatomically, but it just helps to excercise both sides.

[tuchten]

thanks panda! youre sure right about the portraits, il work on it.. :)

more sketching:

[Lake]

if you'd just flipped the canvas around so they were facing right, I wouldn't have been able to tell :)

but suffice to say - great figures - but I'm sure you knew that. reminds me of tarzan.

[tuchten]

cheers guys! and oh yeah, it is tarzan. :)
