Maxetormer 2.-D-Sk-T, CLOSED THREAD (--Time to shed the skin-NEW SKETCHBOOK THREAD--)

[maxetormer]

stine: Yeah economy of lines is one thing Im really focusing form
some time now, I dont quite have it all figured out but I do think
Im getting there, thanks for the props on the dinamics, god knows
I still need loads of practice there, and at last Im really amused to
read that you too live on a limited art supplied city, and yeah IT SUCKS! :P
Oh I almost forgot, yeah the eyes look kinda funky but the model
did had some how a small iris, it looked kinda odd tho.

Carnifex: He, he what can I say getting away from Phil and Foster is hard
and I dont see the point since I love the work of those fellas, I got to
have my inspirations dont I? :P har har, I glad you diged the last pics
they were my favs of the buch as well, yours truly ---Daddy Smurf---

seth1: Thanks for the props, ill keep doing em, now Iv been feeling the need
to change gears again, so spect some weird shit coming from my end
on the next updates :D KEEP IT UP my friend!

Ok I need to work on my mouths, on subtleties, on arm and legs anatomy
on dinamics, on interaction, on my TD piece, and on eviroments,
a crap better go to sleep and get productive tomorrow.

SP ballpoint, I must do more of this.

*digs again*

;)

[hurricane]

hahaha, insane lines dude!
much love!!

[Ham-e]

Nice update man, that ballpoint sketch turned out real good:) Who is this #1 guy? I think I remember he wasn't very nice to you in past sketches if I'm right maybe you should draw him getting his ass kicked;)Just a thought:)

[Decker]

Agreed, the ballpoint pen ones came out sweet. I like your lines, they have character :teeth:

[enthombed]

hey dude, cool update man, hummm need trainning my lines so much,, ni my vacation i will start this mission.

Try to put some colored pics, i buy some color pencils, and some artistic media :teeth: ...

Keep it up

Cheers

Icaro

[seth1]

Good to here man. I love this new portrait so dynamic and you can really feel the energy. For the secound one maybe try and plan in your head a little more befor hitting the paper with the lines draw it out with the eyes and mind then once you see Bamn stick on that paper. Keep up the good work buddy.

[MattGamer]

i love the designs of clothes you made, dude. hehe... draw more hot ladies! lol

it's hard to draw in public without people seeing you staring at them... unless you live in a big city - where i do not live. haha. more people, the less you think you're being stared at by an artist.

i really like the way the girl turned out on the left in | http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/sittinggal.jpg | this one. keep it up! <3

[fooxoo]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/mearggghh.jpg - admirable with inks! Cool updates here. Lots of variety ... goodies! Post more :teeth:

[Chance.]

Unbelievable. You have posted an insane amount of art! where do you find time to scan it all, much less actually make it? Very inspiring thread, I will have to spend some time going through all this great stuff in detail.

[Inkfish]

mearggghh.jpg looks really kickass, keep em coming dude :)

[rodrigo!]

love the latest SP man i think its fantastic, great facial exp. do more! great life stuff as well, not just the nudes, but all round :)
lol you look like a mexican santa somehow, in that SP hahaha
funny.
keep up the great work man, dont stop :D

[Lunch]

Inspirational! I like the self portrait, mirror or photo?

[maxetormer]

Carnifex: Im really glad my friend A LOT!!

hurricane: Hey bro!!! your have no idea how inspired your last
updates got me, really man that last knigthdemon looks so good
I need to cach up with you, much love and respect for you as well man!!!

Ham-e: ha ha yeah well its nice to be loved :D thanks for the props
ballpoint is the shizzle!!

Decker: Thanks a lot man!

enthombed: Thanks a lot Icaro!! ill be looking forward to your updates!!

MattGamer: I will I will, and yeah ill do more ladies for the next
update count on that!! thanks for the props on the girl
as it dificult to them right I think Im heading in the rigth
direction now a days, and well I get bother by ppl while drawing
on public but its great to build selfconfidece the more I draw
like that the less I got shy when some guy wants a drawing done
in front of his eyes, and than I belive is good to get comisions

fooxoo: Will do THANKS for the props!!

Q-Caddlewick: Im an moment of my life were all I do is draw
and study on my own, I only have this year so I better make
the most out of it :P thanks for the props ill keep
updating my progress!!

Inkfish: Count on that my friend!! and thanks!

rodrigo!: HO, HO, HO what do you mean I look like?
I am Santa!! HO, HO, HO he he thanks for the props man
it good to read you diged the life stuff as I really dig
your stuff, and yep ill keep the pencil on motion!!

Lunch: I use a mirror most of the times, as I dont
think that using a photo is as rewarding, so nope
I did not used a photo for the last one :D
thanks for the props man!!

WAWWUU so many comments :xpld: thanks for droping around!!!
I really apreciate you guys takeing the time to write your
opinions about my doodles!! :star: :yayca: :star:

Ok so tonight there was this politic debate and I just had to
draw the participants, one of this fellas here will be
the next president of México, I think ill vote for
the woman, she sounded real smart on tv... then again
the tv has lied to me before...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/politics.jpg

I forgot to post this one, linework from life rendering from my head

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/jeta1.jpg

[seth1]

Very nice max.. Love the values in these drawings.. I really like the expression of the middle man on the top row. Impress me more with ever update.

[stine]

cool update, the portraits are looking great. i really like how you manage to kind of "sculpt" the forehead. dunno, is that understandable?

[MattGamer]

lol, "tv has lied to you before". real cool characters!! i'd vote for the girl too. real nice for capturing the characters ... takes me forever and i have to pause the img. haha

i definatly want to be confident enuff in my art enough that i can draw with people staring at me. it's hard for me to draw somebody, like my friends, when they ask. i'm like... uhh... ok.. and then it comes out sick and ugly. haha

[maxetormer]

seth1: Im glad my friend!! and yeah that one was my fave too!

stine: I got your idea pefectly, and yep doing good foreheads is tricky
they have form but its so subtle that some times the eyes thinks
its just flat :D thanks for the props!!

MattGamer: I know the felling man, most of times the drawing looks
awfull and then I feel all ashamed that everyone got to see my
disgrace, but then again you cant win em all and beeing too worried
about it makes for some bad melancolic days, crap will arise, and
below the good stuff will always be found, the faster we learn
to live with it, the faster we imprive :P Thanks for the ecouragment
it means a lot to me!!

Ok here comes the amazing flying feet!!
done with a cheap mirror...

[rodrigo!]

good stuff so far man keep the insane post count eh!

[Matt Smith]

I really like the pencil marks in your portrait you posted today it looks great.

[rodrigo!]

cool stuff, working hard as always. witht he figure drawing from life- the area around his elbow seems a bit too thick. also i think with the shading theres too many patches of halftone making it kind of confusing...i think you should just try to block in the major patterns of shadow and then work in the halftones off the turning point, i think this is more important, more important than cast shadow as well i think, just trying to simplify what you see.
cheers.

[liam.c]

my main man !!!!!>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"Study on dinamics I used my mirror a few times "<<<<<<<
do that more totaly works )

[enthombed]

really goo job man, hum,, need to make mode stuf like the two last pics with photo referenre because model to try this is imposible.

Cheers

Icaro

[maxetormer]

Matt Smith: Thank man!! I enjoyed you skb a lot.

rodrigo!: Yep your right it got too pachy, I didnt had enought time
to smoth the drawing, but even so I should pic the main form lights
before going on cast shadows or detail, ill focus on not doing the same
mistake the next time, thanks for the heads up my friend!!

liam.c. Thanks a lot Im glad my experimets work :P ill keep doing em then!!
thanks for stoping around!

enthombed: Yeah studing from refs and life models as much as you
can thats the only way to gather new information, thanks for
droping around man!

So, my dad bought me this really cool book with TONS of paintings
form the middle ages to contemporary art and I picked master
Frans Hals to do a study.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/masterr.jpg

and some excersices from my mind, I must learn to draw girls to the best!

Edit: Thanks for the heads up Inkfish I worked on the chin of the middle girl some more
I think she looks better now, the other one I better not touch it I dont wanna ruin her
expresion :P

working on foreshortening
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/escorso.jpg

[rodrigo!]

yeah i thought i should tell you because i do it myself too often...

and yeah the chicks from imagination are top notch man, great work..i think you did well so not much else to add :\

[stine]

ooooh, lovely updates. i really like that master study. you managed to give it your own "touch". very cool. and yes, they definetely knew... :)

[Inkfish]

Looking good, the girls seem to have some issues with lower jaw.i think it's too small on girl on the left and the midlle one has it's jaw at an off angle.

[enthombed]

man, i need to tell you about your work, is great the chading who you did in your works, sometimes i try to see where i can use this, tnks for share this stuff bud, everytime is a great surpriser, need one scanner to post more.

Cheers

Icaro

[mitch]

man these drawings are really cool. you are inspiring me to do more stuff in pen. you have and awesome sence of light and darks, really cool man. and i love teh detail on that newest guys face(the painter). keep it coming man.

[maxetormer]

rodrigo!: he, he thanks man keep throwing the advise out, I
aways find it very usefull, ad thanks for the chick props!! :D

stine: Ha, ha, in deed man! thanks for the props on the master
study it was a real blast!

Inkfish: Thanks a lot for the critcs man!!! I tryed to fix some
of the mistakes on the middle girl, thanks for the props as well!!

enthombed: Im glad you like the update man, Iv been bussy lately
but ill send you those images to your mail soon!!! :D

mitch: Hey thanks a lot man, ill keep working on the shanding,
and Im glad you liked the penwork as I really like to do those.
you see within the restains of the tecnique, using pen
is some how very liberating :P

All pages from my mind except the dog and the guy with
his arm extended on pencil, those were done on the street,
the rest is done with ballpoint pen, Im testing my gesture ability
seeing were are my weakness to work on those for the next
update, and playing with the pages too, still a LONG way to go :P

Oh I almost forgot I cannot see any of the pics I uploaded on
photobucket, I dont know if its just my connection so
let me know if they are showing for you, please :D

wow.
This sketchbook proves that life drawing, anatomy studies and constant practice can really make you great.Very nice stuff, dynamic and accurate.Maybe you could push it further now by trying new subjects, animals or enviros or mech stuff.
Excellent work!

ciao

[maxetormer]

TheGnoll: Hey!!! thanks man I really likeing the stuff you are pulling out
on your skechtbook, nice and dinamic, it means a lot that you liked

[Matt Smith]

I have heard of the OC sessions, but how does it work? they sound like fun. anyways on your first piece, your values are looking alittle spotty and some issues with foreshortening, but I like the dynamics of the pose. cool sketches.

[Ham-e]

woa lots of updates...all good. I love the flying feet. I have no idea how the OC sessions work but I'm game for that if you ever want:)

[hurricane]

that falling guy is AWESOME!! some issues on the shorts but other than that....10/10 !!!

[enthombed]

hey luis, yeap, this work are great, much fun, i need draw just for fun :) but when i do this, the drawings are done desproportional and ugly a lot >:D .

POSTING MORE, need put more of your stuff in my hard drive.

Cheers

Icaro

[maxetormer]

enthombed: Thanks my friend, It means lot to me tha you diged
the pics, drawing for fun is the shizzel!! I hope we can OC some more
other day!!

OC seccion with enthombed, good cool fun on this one!!

[maxetormer]

Ok todays update, the cover of my skb
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/coversign.jpg

and some non ref mexican cowboy except for the hat,
man doing good hats is hard.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/cowboymexicano.jpg

[Spade]

Man, that cowboy rocks, great drawing of (i think) subtle pose. Really dig your style~it is very pleasing to look at. keep em coming!

[TheGnoll]

as usual, very nice stuff.The costumes of your chara designs are very original indeed, keep up the polishing and rendering tho.

I hope you don't mind if I et your msn contact...thinkng about it, you live the other side of the world.

ciao

[staylor]

That's pretty good for no ref! I'm still nowhere near that point (I've got to draw more people). The OC sessions are pretty good too, how much does the program cost?

[Andy P]

Yo broseph, missed out on your stuff for a while, great new stuff! This (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/dinamicsexperiment2.jpg) dude is awesome, Phil Hale like a mofo! The arm on the right feels a tad wonky, foreshortening an arm at that angle is a tricky number. Great character studies, too, particularly on this one (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/badnite.jpg). You've got some neat stuff comin from your noggin. Lovin the hands in this (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/ocbunnydoodleiiica.jpg) one, and that cowboy is cool too. I'd suggest bringing the back leg a bit more to the left, right now he feels more like he's line stepping than walking. Also nice SB cover! Good work!

[this1]

wow man some of your sketches just blow me away, specifically the fallin/flyin guy... fuckin sweeeeeeeeet... and i like alot of you mexi-based stuff, cool to see stuff like that... i guess you'd be like robert rodriquez if he had taken up art, if im not makin any sense, sorry, ur sketchbook has momentarily rocked my grip on existence... keep it up.

[rodrigo!]

great oc + imagination stuff bro! just might recommend developing gesture of cowboy a bit more to give it some rhythm and energy. keep it up mate!

[Landel]

Woah... freaking awesome sketchbook! You can really churn out some incredible stuff if you decide to take more time and effort.

I say do more pen studies! Keep it up!

[lefran]

Awesome sketches!!! your paints look cool too!

[mentler]

Just checking in to see how your doing <> June 17th post rock <> last two still good but a little tighter <> personal taste thing but I like the freer line work

Good to see your still producing great sb pages

[maxetormer]

I will reply to you guys tomorow, right now Im just way to tired :D

O did some paint chat on msn with Ham-e, its really not the best ap by far
but its fun having to battle to get something decent.

[Ham-e]

Hey man, I'm glad you posted those! Thanks for the session it was fun. It's a real testament to your skills that you could draw on msn! Just sad I didn't get a chance to see that one you lost. Anyway we'll have to try and find a host for OC. See ya

[maxetormer]

TheGnoll: hye np man, last OC was fun, I hope we can repeat it soon!!
keep those drawings up man!

Spade: thanks man!!!

staylor: Thanks man!!!, the prog is free, ill send it to you on mns chat,
just add me to your contacs, or I can send it to your mail,
I would llove to OC any time you want bro!!

Andy P: THANKS for the comment man, Im really enjoying your
last updates, thanks for the critic on the cowboy, I dont think
ill work any more on him, but I will keep on mind the critic for
the next walking posse I make!! again thanks a lot for the nice words!!

this1: you are too kind, THANKS a lot, Im not near the creativity of
that guy, but I do feel flattered by your comment,, thanks!

rodrigo!: yeah it didnt camed out as dinamic as I thought
ill try to do more dinamic gestures studies before jumping into
the final render, thanks for the props and critics!!
see ya later bro!!

Landel: thanks a lot, ill do that!!

lefran: thanks a lot man!

mentler: I agree master mentler, I need to keep my shading both
readable and tigth but without loossing the energy, thanks a lot
for the props, THEY MEAN A LOT to me!!!

Ham-e: yeah I fcking hate Bill Gates, thanks for the props man
I hope we can OC some more later, thanks for find out about
that networking prog, it was a real life saver!!

Doodles...

Ok OC seccion with Ham-e and TheGnoll, I did the deamon knigth
on the right, TheGnoll did the the daemon dog, and ham-e did the
dog head on the left, and the grafitty doodles on the middle.
and some doodles form my mind, Im in the experimental mood as
of late, iv been working on my TD but I cant show ya guys yet.

and thats about all for this update, lets hope the next one looks better :P

::EDIT::
I made some changes on the last image, thanks to Jens observations,
I think now she look a bit better, then again, she is kinda of dumb :P
thanks for the heads up Jens, ur work is always an inspiration!!

[Jens]

hey dude

the expression on that last one is a bit "dumb". Probably because here eyes are to close together. The upper eye lids, the teeth and lower lip are all unshaded, makes it look a bit weird. She also leaning to the left.

Cowboy dude is great, your stuff is getting increasingly cool :P

[enthombed]

hey Luis, great works i this stuff, i hope workin one sessions when can dude, good luck in TD.

Cheers

Icaro

[Ham-e]

Hey man I'm realy loving that first portrait! Good work:)

[poise]

Nice work. I really dig your loose sketches that are like this....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/theknighty.jpg

and this is great.. :) I can imagine you making a comic out of these two Charaters.;)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/Jackson.jpg

[rodrigo!]

excellent work on the last pic man, i think its great because the rendering and linework of the faces are very soft. a very important thing to keep in mind because of the rib cage and the spine, is that the neck is lower at the front and higher at the back. this is mainly about the side view of the girl.
keep up the good work buddy!

[this1]

http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2430&stc=1&d=1150891685

I think she look better :P thanks a lot for the comments and
critics!!

enthombed: Thanks man!!! I apreciate, your comments a lot!!
and thanks for the good luck, Im gonna need it!

Ham-e: Thanks its just an experiment on mixed media :P
but is was fun, im glad you liked it!

poise: hey nice to have you around!! Thanks so much for the props
on the inks I adore your paintings, an those last inks that I saw
were quite some piece of work!! again thanks for droping around!!

rodrigo!: Thanks man, your right, Ill keep that on mind,
and thanks for complement on the shading it means a lot
to me!! see ya later on msn!

this1: cool it made mine as well :D

Ok updates, no ref, I did had to look up how the toksido looked like
but all the possing, faces and folds are form my mind.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/the1onesecretolife.jpg

Some more faces as well, trying to push my memory
those were based on ppl that I was waching on the TV
so I wached em for a few minutes and then I tryed to see
how close I could get at remebering them, very fun exercise;

another hard worker in here, don't know why I haven't replied in here before!

I really dig your stuff, mate. I like the lifedrawings (your feet are badass!) and this portrait-exercises ( I'm gonna give that a try!), especially the last update is cool, reminds me on HPX's stuff a lot!

Keep on rocking mate!

Gloominati: Thanks a lot for the props, and yeah HPX is da shizzle :D
thanks for the comment, It made my day, and thanks for props on my
feet as well!!

Ill keep rocking for sure!

Ok so this is how this painting ended up looking, Im not entirely
happy with it, but I think I got most of my goals done on it.

Oil on canvas

cool stuff man

the painting turned out good it think, mayby some weird things about the about the arm that's closest to the viewer. It has a very sudden color change from red to yellow, the hand looks a bit small. Did you use ref for that one? Good lightning on the face and i like the loose paint on the pants

[Ham-e]

Ooooh man that's a nice painting! congrats great work!:xpld:

[lefran]

that painting is amazing! i really like it! congrats from me too ^___^

[Andy P]

yee-uh boyee! Nice painting. Great handling of the white shirt! Lotta color goin on in there, great pants, too. I agree that is there a pretty harsh color shift in the arm on the right, and that hand feels a tad small in comparison to the face. I don't think you need to go all the way to black on the core shadow on the arm on the left. Also, there's a good amount of dead space on the right, cropping in just a little on the right will strenghten the composition.
Good job all in all, that facial expression is hot!
Also, those last drawing with the ball point are awesome, great hands.

[TheGnoll]

wow, the painting is really nice (maybe the upper part of the head could have been a little bit bigger), but i really like it.The other fast sketches look REALLy great, as gloom said the remind me of HPX.VEry expressive and precise at the same time.Great stuff, keep the thread up! :D

ciao

sweet oil painting!!! so vibrant! diggin the demon hunter up above too... keep crankin out the creativity man, its lookin good.

[Boogieman]

Of all your work it's your pencil and pen drawings that really stand out to me. Your lines and your hatching look great in both. Your oil painting is looking awesome. I'm not sure about the cut off of the legs.. But the rendering is great and it looks cool.

[Virg]

nice stuff man, that oild painting is pretty well done :)

[maxetormer]

Jens: yeah I used some ref I shotted my self for the body
and the face was a mix, ill say.. 50/50 using ref and just messing
around with the form, to obtain a more extreme expresion,
I agree about the sudden color change, I wasnt sure wether
if I should change it or not, and I was getting tired of seeing
the image, but since most ppl have founded that part to be the
most anying and I can always pile more paint on top cause
its oils I think ill re work that area, thanks for critics man
their are really spot on :D and yeah the hand should have been
slightly bigger, it looked smaller on the ref, and I just used that
scale, but you know how photos can distort reality, and I just
missed that error, good call mate!!
THANKS a lot for the comments they mean a lot to me!!

Ham-e: Thanks a lot man!! REALLY!

lefran: Thank you very much Sir

Andy P: Thanks for the critcs ill keep em in mind for sure,
and thanks for the props on the hands man!! I love drawing hands

TheGnoll: I will man, i will, I wasnt sure about that, but keep it in mind.
You see, the rest of his head is floating above, I mean the top of his
skull expoded, so the bit you feel its missing is really just
rigth above his head :P thanks for the props as well, they mean
on heck of a lot, hope we get to OC again man, it was fun the last time!

this1: I shall keep doing weird suff for sure, Im glad you liked the deamon hunter :D

Boogieman: Thanks for the props, I still need a lot of practice to get
my lines in order, so its nice to read you liked em as IMO they are the
most dificult thing to master, and thanks for the compo critic
too, after I was done I did thought that I would have liked to include
the feet, but hey, that would have to be for the next one he, he :P

WhiteC: Thanks a lot!! :D

Ok so my LSM si going ok, and aside working on that,
here it is a portrait I did at my life drawing seccion with acrylics,
this guy is a really good model, with some really sleepy weird eyes,
and some portait pratice with photos, I still need to practice
a lot more to get a better ratio of success on likeness :\
but ill get there some day; so this night was for the beautifull
Audrey Tautou, the drawing it was kinda big so I had to take a photo,
Im sorry about the wrinkles but the paper was kinda cheap :(

Till the next update!! and THANKS FOR ALL THE COMMENTS!! :xpld: :painting:

[TheGnoll]

forget that thing in the painting, it looks all right.I love these two last portatraits.The dude has indeed very strange eyes :D
The woman one in really nice, love the unfinished look and the smooth rendering.The wrinkly page doesn't ruin it at all.Maybe the whole head looks a bit too elongated but who cares.Man, your pencils are CLEEEEAN.
Keep 'em coming

ciao

[maxetormer]

TheGnoll: Thanks a lot man, ill keep working as hard as I can,
Im glad you thought the wrinkly page doesnt kills the drawing :D
and again thanks for the encouragment and critics!! they mean a
whole lot to me!

Ok I decided to start a new sketchbook, I was getting really annoyed by
some of the old work, and many of my images disappeared with the
renderosity "crash", Ok wish me luck on this new stage!!

This is the adress to my NEW SKETCHBOOK for anyone that is interested :P

Great updates dude..especially your pen sketches..man...i m jelous of those lines..really..not joking man..you should do more pen sketches..:D
That oil painting is also nice..but that right knee needs more contrast i guess. I liked the colours u have used.
One more thing i want to tell u about the ur portaits..there is something wrong, cant tell u what exactly..e.g. that master copy in pencil. Just my observation..could be wrong, dont mind, but those hand studies and other stuff is really very nice.

and Post more Pen sketches :D

:yayca:

[Inkfish]

Really sweet updates man, i haven't been here much lately, but browsing through your sb again was a pleasure. I like Daemon hunter and the oils picture the most :)

[staylor]

The paintings are spectacular! And the collabs are amusing.

The pictures are fun to look at, and that's a great thing :)

[Sybo]

Hey the sketches in the thread just keep getting better and better. I love your character designs, paticulaly the ones up the top of the page. Yeah, just an encouraging word from me, no crits, as I dont wanna be a hypocrite. The male portrait in the last post looks very stone age, great values and form. you should sell it to National Geographic so they can stick it on the next 20 million year old corpse they find.

Go hard bro, keep it up.

[Miau]

awesome stuff!!
and - thx for reanimating my thread ;)

keep it up

[Zebz]

Somebody's workin' hard!! Lovin' the inks as of late... lots of energy man. I like how you're trying to loosen up. I'm sorry I haven't been around as of late. Been busy with internship and can't really upload to my server from my house for some reason. Hopefully I'll have somethin' soon. Take care, man.

[JoeHell]

yeah nice stuff.. keep at it at the same pace and improvement will keep blessing you..

[Orifice]

Hah, that'll be the day.
