[P E N Ricklund]

Hey, my mexican is back Weiii!
Seems like you had a blast, you just dropped this like a bomb. And who said Rome wasn't built in one day :P
I miss you and you're crazy accent :D
You're just as cool as ever.

Hugs!

[Zebz]

Bro... awesome about sumz it up! Great, great work, man. It's great to see you back as well. You'll have to tell us all about your many adventures. I'm thinking of doing an overseas stint with some friends next year so you'll have to let me know where to hit up the hostels and stuff. But yea, this stuff is sooo great. It's too much to take in! I love the environment pen drawings as well. You're makin' some fat strides. Make sure and tell us what you learned from the WS! I wanna know what the pointers you got were! Great work! Great work! Now in honor of your Mexican heritage I'm going to go have a Chimichanga. Buenos Noches! ;)

[fukifino]

I would just like to chime in with the HOLY SHIT. Cause seriously, that's all I kept thinking as I scrolled through all that. Absolutely phenominal stuff, man. You're a monster with the pen! I love all your ink and brushpen drawings. Crazy great stuff!!

[seth1]

Nut crackers! I really wanna hump u man! Haha! Keep on rolling!!!!!!!!!

[madplanet]

You have a most excellent sketchbook, it's everthing that a sketchbook could and should be. Not just studies, but a journal of experiences, as well. The sketch at the airport showing the seats and the plane just blew me away. Too cool. I recognized all the Firenze sites even before the statue of David! Those were great to see. Please post more.

[mentler]

Beautiful visual verbiage of your trip <> wonderful experiences shared <> very inspirational indeed

[SirSushi]

Back from Europe with a vengeance! Lovely to see the heaps of sketches that you made during your trip, like memories in pen & pencil.

[adraude]

hey maxetormer, looked into this sketchbook for the first time. wow, you seem to be one dedicated sketch-artist, so many sketches, in public also. nice stuff. keep'em comig, such dedication is motivating. :)

[maxetormer]

dCepT: Dude!! Grasias por darte una vuelta por aqui! thanks for the post
I would have loved to go hand hang out on Sweden!! be sure that ill
find a way to cross the ocean again (not in the near future but
some day, ill manage to do it :^^: ) I miss ya guys, I had such a GREAT
time and the inspiration I got form all of you is fueling my hand like
nothing before!!

Jens: He he funny you said that cause I do plan to frame those
portaits you made, be sure of that, thanks so much for beeing so
cool with me, and for the pen and inks tips, good to har you diged the
landscapes, those are my favorites as well :)

Pencilator: Hi there you crazy sweden blond, Im so glad you liked the
update (I was very nervous about it cuase inks couse me lots and
lots of headaches so theres a lot of not very sucessfull experiments here :P )
but theres lots of fun experiments so I guess its allright :confident:

ZebzFree: Ryan!! bro, its good to have you around! thanks for all the
ecouragment, really, you comments are always wellcome, Im glad to
hear you diged the eviros, I liked too as well, as far as your request for
tales and tips from the workshop, one of the main things was that
el El coro and Jens told me to slow down and really draw what I see,
and El Coro, told me that using inks forces you to be more acurrate,
cuase you cant erase one bit you really need to think alot before you
act, so right now and after the workshop I started to REALLY use
inks every single minute, and Im goona be working with them for at least a year,
I mean ill do some other stuff but doing my daily ink-observation
excersices is a must for me now, plus I find ink to be very liberating
for the same reason some find it to be limiting, you see if you cant
fixe it then you can move one to the next study wiht out any regrets :P
and that for me is like nirvana he he, as far as the trip it self, I would
urge you to do it, it quite an experience man! you should go for sure,
of course I have more things to tell but I need to sleep as well, so
ill keep on updating and writing as usual, in an almost daily basis
You too keep it up, ill drop by you thread tomorrow for sure! :)

fukifino: OH! man those last oil portraits on your SKB are amazing man,
my jaw droped to the foor seriously! thaks for the post man, it good
to have around, thanks for the warm wellcome, REALLY! :^^:

seth1: he he he, hold those urges :P now seriusly
THANKS for the ecouragment it means the a lot to me!!!

madplanet: DUUUDE thanks for giving me such a cool complement
really Im so happy to har you recognized the eviroments, that is so
cool, thanks for the ecouragment, and I completly agree with
you I use my SKB as a diary of sorts, a visual one :^^:

mentler: Michel!! thanks for droping by I means the world to me
that you tooked the time to drop by my new SKB, thanks for the
ecouragment, ill start been activly posting at SOFA soon as well :D

SirSushi:Yes Sir! you can bet I drawed my ass off every day he he:P
Im glad to read you liked the sketchs :D

adraude: yeah I post lots of unsucessfull images becase that way maybe
one of the persons waching might have the solution for that image so
I belive is worth showing them to learn more form the comments of others,
and I did not posted all the stuff I did, I leaved like some pages out becuase
I was really tired of scaning Im glad you finded my SKB inspirational,
It means a whole lot to me, so THANKS for that! :^^:

Ok Im really tired and I should go to sleep early, il just say that Im
Really happy that all of you gave me such a warm wellcome on my
new daily journey to improve in the realms of life and arts :D so
thanks for this REALLY!!! CA RULES! :yayca: :painting: :^^:

Muy bueno. Praga parece haber sido algo genial, me hubiese gustado poder haber ido. A lo mejor con suerte pueda ir al proximo (aunq lo dudo, pero voy a tratar!). Un saludo, y espero ver mas! :)

[emily g]

Hey Maxetormer!

Those inks are working really well for you!
Your sketches of buildings/environments are awesome, such as the fountain, Notre Dame, inside the cathedral, etc.
And I think it's great that you are sketching so many different people from life.
Keep doing that!

best,
emily

[hurricane]

advicate and a good lawyer is a good politician so he has a querubin
mask wings and a aureole to make deals with god but deep down
he is only loyal to the dark lord..., or is he? :P

I hope to meet you again sometime. In the meantime, keep posting this kind of kickass art!

[Zebz]

Great updates, Max! Lovin' the stuff you're postin' bro! I can't wait to see more! The inks are lovely as well. The image of your Dad is my fav! Great work! The colors are looking mighty good too. I have no backbone for color so it's nice to see someone making some strides in that area! I need to hit the sack as well but I wanted to pop in a issue some words for ya! Keep it up!!!

[Mikko Voipio]

Hard working man you are. Great stuff here and I really respect the amount of effort you've put in your drawings. There's progression thoughout your sketchbook, especially in the shading. I like that last post of yours, but at the moment I'm not using colors at all, so I tend to look at the sketches more carefully. Only thing that bothers me here is David's boobs. :P Will have to follow your progress in the future.

[That fat kid]

hey max, just thought i'd stop in to pay you a compliment, good stuff!

the fat kid

[Hiipi]

Hello Maxxer!

That SP is especially nice, Max. Glad to see that you've been productive! I miss your updates, bro. Hope to see more in the future. Don't be afraid of contrast, either!!! That charcoal portrait is comin' along too. Lemme see that mother all finished up!!

[maxetormer]

ZebzFree: Im missing been able to update every time I want to he he :P
thanks for the props, I cnat finish that potrait cuase we will have a
difernt model the next class, and my teacher has an hatred for long
posse the longest poses are of one hour and we never repeat the same
pose so, yeah i cant od that one but I have plans to do a
very long and detalied selfportait, so expect more drawing with that
same style with more detail and hours invested on them,
your doing awesome on yoy thread lately, that school and your
hard HARD work is paying off greatly, KEEP it UP Ryan!

[mentler]

Style is getting looser and juicier ‡ movin' on up!!

[madplanet]

Nice effect with the lighting on your self-portrait. With the whiteness of the torso, the beard comes at ya like it's in 3-D. Very nice. I also really like your pen work; you pack a lot of detail in with even the loose sketches. You have a very unique style of line too. I think so, anyways.

[Zebz]

Inks are lookin' good, mate! The charcoals are pleasant as well. You can really see the form in the first one. I like it a lot!! Don't stop! Keep it comin'!!!

I know what you mean about one class drawings. Most of my teachers only give us the class to work on a drawing. I never feel like I get anything to a level I'm happy with. I'm so SLOW!! Arg... anyhow... hope you're doin' well, bro. I really wish I was headed for Mexico again this Winter... it's so freakin' cold. lol Ah... I long for those sandy beaches... ;)

[one2hit]

hey, looking sharp. I'd like to see some more intense head studies, and graphite drawings. practice, practice...get some good photo ref if you need to!

[bumskee]

Holy... Cow.. :) damn these are sweet man.. that's lot of drawing.. The interior of the church has to be my favourite.. frame it! :) and the chick just below the airport waiting room drawing. top stuff, 5 x :star:

[maxetormer]

mentler: he he leat hope it stay up and moving for along time :D
thanks for the props master mentler.

madplanet: Im glad you diged the selfportrait and even mor happy to
hear you think I have unique style, finding a style that is right with
me is one of my main headaches so I happy to hear Im finding one
even if Im some how Im unaware of it he, he. :P

ZebzFree: Well it aint acapulco beach hot around here either, I live on
a mountain city so it kinda cold, (not as cold as some other places) but
Im having a good nice trasicion to winter here :P Im so happy to hear
you liked the charcoals, Im divided as when to use smudging and when not
I know I can pull off a good style with my smuging its just a matter of
time and practice, so Im glad to har you like the style and modeling,
Keep strong, I will drop by your thread soon bro.

one2hit: Will do, will do, I need to get par with those amazing
portaits you are cranking up lately, :D thanks for the props and
for droping by.

bumskee: Hey! thanks for the vote of cofidence it means a lot
to me, ill would frame the church one but I dont wanna tear the
skechbook apart he he, its an important sketchbook, but I do
apreciate all the nice words a lot, it really cheered me up tons. :D

Ok evil caracter desing, let me know what you guys think :^^:

[madplanet]

What do they say? Let the style find you not the other way around. i guess that it is true and let's just say that the style has found you. keep up the good work.

[Friso]

Hey maxetormer, these are really great.
Im glad we met at the trainstation in Praha.
You gave me so many usefull comments on my sketchbook and it almost made me feel bad that i could say so little about your work.
Im looking forward to see more from you here. :)

great updates my friend, you are always a source of inspiration !!

cheers and keep up the stellar work!

[adraude]

wow, now that last sp of yours really kicks ass. you seem to have either gained much more control over the hatching, or spend much more time with hatching it. whatever you did, it worked, it is much much convincing and catching than your other portraits. wish you'd spend more time with the hair,... *g :)

[P E N Ricklund]

Hey there you cute little Mexican. Still going strong huh? Love that SP. Yummy.

What is this I'm reading. I dubt ill ever go back to europe
Through out rambling. Europe is calling you, we know you can't resist it.
And you know you're always welcome to Sweden :D
Btw, how much this little Eurotrip cost you?

Hugs!

[blacky]

Wow, great SB, four stars from me.

of the rest of my SP I plan to increast the time every time I do one
till I get a good 40 hours Sp in wich I will draw every single hair strand
on my head he he, your SKB is one of my favorites, keep updating it!

Pencilator: DUUUUDEEEE!!! Im so glad you stoped by he he,
yeah the trip was pricey, it costed around 50,000 pesos for
three weeks around 5,000 dollars, more less, so Im gonna need
like around 15, 000 pesos to go back even if I only go for a week,
it migth be possible but Its not gonna happen soon :P he he,

that I would drop by your house if I return to your continent,

All of your faces and figures are looking great and are filled with life and expression. Just what i like to see. Your Uncle Roberto came out great. I don't know what he looks like but, I think that the sketch is a success in that it captured a personality. I like it.

Have new year mate!! have a good new year of drawing!

Ok here it is my very first coloring experiment using alcohol inks with prisma colors
and acrilics using Coros tutorial, it was a real blast I use wood inks (cause
those were the only kind I could find :p ) but I kinda liked the result so
I will do more of this and more mixed media experiment of all kind,
beeing messi with paints is fuuunnn!!

This started as an overpaint on a sketch of seth1 but after he gave me
the original ref he used I got caugth up and this is the result I tryed
to interpreate the foto instead of coping it, it was dam fun :D

[shyamshriram]

Nice update mate :) that outdoor studies and other life studies are awesome man...i have to do the same too...that kid lookin nice..
btw alcohol inks? man...never heard before...LOL have to check...:bashful:

[fooxoo]

Ohhh the kid is nice! Also love the quick studies of faces and expressions! Lovely Sktechbook. Keepin my eyes on this one :teeth:

[auden100]

Good stuff. That coro-style drawing turned out really nice. Those inks make for some interesting tonal shifts. Well done. I'm familiar with the technique, but I'm not familiar with wood inks. Where do you get them? Are they cheaper than Prismacolor ($9 for 40ml)? hmm. so many questions...

Anyway, the sketchbook's looking great. Showing some improvement, especially with faces. well done, and keep it up.

[Miau]

really nice colors again
hope you keep posting its always cool watching. :)
-> back drawing

[dCepT]

The colorpiece there with inks and acrylics is HELLA NICE! Damn, bro! I'm looking forward to seeing your sketchbook live again.. whenever that happens...but I'm still looking forward to it :D

Have a mad cool 2006!!

d-C

[madplanet]

Wow. That jump from an ink drawing to color is amazing. It's always great to see all those differences that color can bring to a piece. And I'm a sucker for oranges and ochres. So, do you use a very thin wash of acrylics and inks and then go over it with the colored pencils? I have experimented with something like this in the past, but with no real great success. I guess, i just need to do some more; I like the effect. Well, have a great New Year.

[Shylone_Breath]

good jow, good thread, ! good year for you ,hope you continue to draw like that in 2006 ;)

[mentler]

Outstanding new works <> will crit at SoFA <> life is to short to be on page 2 BTW I think I am your uncle Roberto <> dude looks a lot my sPs

[maxetormer]

shyamshriram: hi there mate! Thanks for the props, Im glad you liked
the last kid stidy, doing outdoors stuff is real fun, you should
dfenity try out doing some f them for sure, about the wood inks
they are real easy to find I read Coros Tut and he said to use
alcohol based inks, this were the only kind I could find, the idea
is that this type of inks do less damage to the paper as oppossed
while using acrilics or watercolors plus they dry super fast so you get
results in a very short time, give it a try is really fun check out this link:

http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=566

fooxoo: Thanks for the vote of confidence, Im happy to have you around

auden100: Hye man thanks for the ecouragment, well prisma color inks
dont get to my city but you can buy wood inks for about 2 dollars per
250 mililiters of it, (18 pesos or so) so its a good deal for me :D

Miau: DUUDDE thanks for droping by Im glad to have you around again!!
Ill keep posting, as much as I can :D

dCepT: Cabron!! I will try my best to do better this year for sure,
Im looking forward seening your as well, dunno when this will be possible
but I cant wait :P your doing some really cool improvemtns,
you to have the coolest of all years man!!

madplanet: Oh I just used Coros well proved recepy like you said a
wsh of alcohol inks then the prisma colors and at last some
acrilylics to puch the lights here and there, just keep at it it works
you just need to get the hang for the tecnique.
Best of lucks man!! :D

Shylone_Breath: he he thanks lets hope for that:^^:

mentler: Thanks for the ecouragment and hell yeah my uncle does looks
like you ( master uncle mentler he he) thanks for the kick on on the arse
will kick in on thrid gear of speed, I cant allow life to win this race 8)

[mentler]

Start At The Top And Work Down <> Keep working with the inks assume you are not doing pencils first <> I work a great deal with inks, and always work direct <> it makes me very aware of that there are no mistakes just opportunities <> sometimes when things do not look the way you want you look at them a different way.

[dCepT]

Awesome stuff, man! Keep workin' those inks! You'll master 'em in no time!
Particularily like the dude with the fedora working on his bike.. very cool!

peace

[Hiipi]

maxetormer, really lovely pencils and paints!
How long does a speedy sketch like the above usually take you? I can see huge strokes, but you've laid them in with real forethought and precision.

[dCepT]

Mierda! I need to get my ass in gear! You're drawing like a machine!

[maxetormer]

Erilaz: thanks for the nice words man, I dont deserve them tho, my tecnique
and metod is still to weak so I still making up stuff as I go, this one taked
around 6 to 5 hours of work, form laying down the construccion to thinking
how I wanted to lit the scene, and from that to making mistakes, erasing and
hitting my head to the walls of my room cause things dont look right :P
I wish I had a better metod, becuase I know that with out that Im unable to
repeat the things that looked good on the next pic, the only thing I can
do is pratice, practice, practice on the hopes I will over come this.
(thiking of a metod is something I have on the back of my head all
the time, it just I havent found one that I fell happy with)

dCepT: Me lleva la Chingada Cabron!! thanks for the asspat bro,
ill drop by to give ya one as soon Im dont with this post.

liam.c: ha!! liam bro, dude, the drawing machine, good to have you around
I need to drop by you thread and ill do it soon, count on that,

Ok here it is my near finished CHOW entry, comments and critics are wellcome,
I only have one more day to add or fix stuff so, there are not gonna be to
any mayor changes on the caracter, how ever I might keep working on him
after the deadline just for kicks :D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/srfrederick2.jpg

[Slash]

Luis! I look away for a second and you've filled your sketchbook with awesomeness! Its good to see that you havent lost your relentless drive, its inspiring to see your dedication. My absolute favorite this far is the kid with the candy. Very good piece! I have a little crits on the chow tho.. I think his arm holding the gun looks a little short. It also looks like his lower legs are a liiittle bit too short as well. I would also check that shadow under the cross he's holding, it looks a little out of place. I think the whole pose could be more dynamic if you place his feet even further apart. One more crit before i'm through.. his vest kind of blends in with his coat on our right side. (his left) I think that if you defined the transition a little more it would look much better.

So long, keep rocking, and NEVER STOP!

[katsgod]

Nice work...keep it up.

[P E N Ricklund]

Yeha man, you truely is the mexican mayhem. Love those new sp's, and the traditional painted ones. What can I say, eye-candy.

Take care my man.

Hugs!

[madplanet]

The self-portraits are all very good, especially the oil, which is coming along nicely; I think that I would recognize you just about anywhere! Oh, and yeah, your ink sketches are great, so don't have any concernes there, dude. They are loose and free and fun to look at.

[fooxoo]

Cool updates. I really like the inks. You ve been busy :P Keep it up! Nice - all kinds of media, makes it all more interesting ;)

[dCepT]

Awesome stuff, man! You're rockin' like a mo'fo' (I've been told they rock a lot! Mo'fo's that is..hehe) The oil SP looks wonderful! You're definately a huge inspiration!

some ilos for a kids book in traditinal media (coros tecnique mixed up with
my own ideas :P ) I will up those as soon as I can, yeah I better wach out

improvents lately!! dont losse momentum!!

Happy Birthday!! Been a while, bro! Haven't seen your thread shootin' to the top as often as I used to. You must be a busy man these days! Or maybe we're just on different Ca.org time tables. Eh. Anyhow, top notch work!! Lovin' those inks! You're really starting to be more and more confident in that line, man. I wish I could say the same. Just keep doin' what you're doin'. I'd be interested to see what finished pieces you've been kickin' up. Are you makin' any money these days? I'm gettting ready to graduate college and I can be poor like the rest of these people on these boards. lol Yay for art degrees! ;) BTW, you comin' to Montreal? It'd be great to meet you. Told you I'd be at the next one and the next one is here... just curious. Hope you're well.

[kingcoyote]

Hey man,

ZebsFree told me to check you out, so here I am. Wow! You must draw ALL the time! I wish I could say the same. You have some fantastic work here, and I think you just inspired me to either work much harder, or just give up all together.

I think I'll stick with more hard work....

Your self portraits are incredible, and really... Even the stuff that doesn't work as well, is still going in the right direction. I know what you mean about not feeling like you have any direction in your art, but I've found (like it sounds you have too) that just "working through" it helps me find my focus again.

I look forward to seeing more of your stuff in the future.
Later.
KC

[madplanet]

Well, happy belated b-day, it sounds like you had a good one. What painting was the Dali print of? Just curious, he's one of my favorite painters.

All of the self-portraits are great, so full of life, they really are. The eyes in the ink one are just fantastic. Is the one with the question marks from when you were wondering where to go with your art? I believe so, because that face has the captured expression of the weighted thoughts.

[rodrigo!]

wow man these SP's are looking amaaazing! great rendering and use of line, especially in the last one:D how long did they take by the way? cheers and keep it up !!

[maxetormer]

kingcoyote: Hell YEAH working hard is the right call man, just keep at
it, i have seen your SKB and you have the right mind set to get anywere
on the art world, you just need more tecnique, Im very flattered by your
comment even tho Im not nearly as good as I should, and I need to work
harder if im gonna make this shit happen, we just need to hang in there
and keep working and studing, find out your goals and persue them like
a bloodhound, that is the best advice I can give you (that and study
anatomy, you cant never have enought of that :P )
see ya and KEEP IT UP! :painting:

madplanet: Yeah the question marks one is my personal fav to date,
still along way to go but hey, I have to start some were :^^:
the name of the painting is "Sting Caused by the Flight of a Bee..."
the one with the tigers coming out of the sky.

rodrigo!: Dude!! how life? I hope your doing good, thanks for the props,
about the time, well it varites but say form one to five hours of work per
selfportait, if I get caught with a feature that I cant resolve, see ya later
and Keep it UP!

the place you are, count on it!

kingcoyote: nope most of the times I doint use any, I need to
train my self to visualice and use only the lines that are important
that is why I try not to use a underdrawing it gonna take a while
till this excesices pay off tho :P

Sum anatomy from Burne Hogarth this time, a very slow day...see ya 8)

[maxetormer]

Having a slow day as well, Im felling a bit sick wich makes me
agry because I just got well from an infection a week ago,
sweet luck of mine...
Doing the SP thing, Photoshop three hours see ya later :^^:

-Edit-

Spot on critique Carnifex, I do have more flesh on my cheekbones
but it was more a visual effect because I made the top of my head to higth
after reading your critic I made some changes in the chin as well,
Thanks a lot for them, I really need em :P ill be seeing ya later

-Daddy Smurf-

bw I just found this guys site, Albert Khai Nam Truong and dam he´s good!!

[Carnifex]

the rendering on the hogarth studies is very good,but you look abit skinny on your sp. or is that just me? i seem to recall you having more flesh on you. so to speak.

edit: something makes the face seem askew. i can't tell if it's the jawline or the placement of the mouth though. something about the mouth and beard area.

[kingcoyote]

I went home and did some ink drawings the other day, after seeing yours.

Thanks for the kick in the balls!

I'm studying Hogarth right now too. I hope it pays off... I've just forgotten soo much.

Later.
KC

[Burning Eyes]

screw u man... i finally thought i had a self portrait that i could be proud of and then u post this, now i see i have muchhhhh more to learn, and put in practice.... awesome work i wanna see more like this last one!

much love :) cheers!

[young paddy1]

I'm liking your inks a lot especially the shading you use and the sps are great, your characters are usually very good but every so often they seem somehow hollow.

cheerio

[maxetormer]

Carnifex:Yo!its good to have you around! thanks for the spot on critique,
I made some changes based on it, Im glad you liked the shading on the
hogarth studies, see ya later!! -Daddy Smurf-

kingcoyote: Hogarts is kinda exagerated but its great to see the muscles
as volumen instead as just abstract shapes conecting here and there,
Im happy to har you wanted to do inks after seeing my experiments I made
my day :D you will see studing anatomy does pays off, but it takes
some time to even start to kick in, so keep it UP!

Burning Eyes: Your last SP looked hell of a lot nice cool harsh dramatic
lighting, I diged it a lot, just keep doing em, Im still way far from doing
a really good face, its a matter of pratice thats all, you doing really
good man!!

young paddy1: Hey Im glad you liked the inks and the shading, as far as the
hollow thing, well I was gonna write that ill overcome it with practice
but truth be told Im not even sure if Ill be able to pull it off, I mean
its not the first time someone tells me this (Jason Manely sorta told me this
same thing on the workshop) and well I dont know what to tell ya, I guess
time will tell, its not like I dont see "it", its more like Im not even sure if I
can fix it, and like I said time will tell...I know you dont meant to be
harsh on anything but man, you comment really bumed me out, its like
I prefer to be told that my tecnichal skills are bad :P oh well back to the
drawing board, still a long life to live and learn.

SP and some portraits form this life drawing group in my city

see ya later, let see if next bach looks a little better... :^^:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/95.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v72/maxetormer/p1.jpg

[maxetormer]

Ok some creatures, the big one was for the weeks COWS but I wasnt able
to bring the skech to color, still I liked my portal opener, and I call
it "entropy beast" and some demonish lemur, see ya guys later

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

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

[kingcoyote]

The portal creature is a good start... very dark. It reminds me of the Naz'gul from LOTR, and also some of Brom's stuff. The arms on it look a little "off" though, like you couldn't figure out how they should attach... um, it looks like you added some mass in between the torso and arms to make up the difference, instead of getting them positioned well in the first place. Does that make sense? I'm also having trouble figuring out what's going on with the triangle shape next to him... I'm assuming that it's the "portal", but it's position in space isn't consistant with everything else. I love the head-piece/body armour, and tatoos though...

The SP and portraits are awesome, as usual. Do you work from photos with your SPs at all? The reason I ask, is that I always have trouble maintaining (or, failing that reestablishing) facial expressions with the angle, and lighting etc. when I'm drawing myself from life.

Great work, man! I always enjoy looking at your stuff.
Later.
KC

[P E N Ricklund]

Hey, my crazy mexican, sorry for not stopping by to often.
Damn, I missed a lot of goodies. You sp's are looking top-notch. And the expressions, wowser.
Anyway, nice work.
Hope everything is well with you.

Hugs!

[bumskee]

I must have this thing whenever I see awsome lines. I just love seeing really nice line works.. :) love the SPs too keep drawing away!

[rodrigo!]

sucha big improvement man, and i love to see the lineart from life, its a good variety you have there!

[maxetormer]

kingcoyote: Spot on critiques, I will develop this creature some more
for the next post, so ill take all of your coments in acount for sure,
about the photo thing I have never made a photo selfportait,
you see you can always use photo refs of other people from magazines,
but the beauti of using a mirror is that its almost as good as a life
drawing, and doing stuff form life activates diferent parts of your brain
that you dont use while coping from photos translating 3D to 2D is much
more streessfull for your brain and you learn the doble of things,
as far as expresions I dont mantain my face on the expresion all
i start with a losse gesture and then I try to tighten it up by going
back and forward on the expresion on my face, say... I consentrate on
how the the nose goes a littel up in my face when my lips are contrated
on anger and then I try to refine that area, and so on and on on the rest
of the features and overall expression that I already skeched on the gesture
underdrawing, (not that my system is all that good, actually Im pretty
dam far form doing good expresions :P ) I hope this helps you a bit :^^:
see ya and thanks for droping by!!

Pencilator: Hey you blond sweden drawing machine!!
I hope things are well with you too, I really need to stop
by your thread man, those skulls are looking superb!!
thanks for droping by my friend, and for ecouragment!!

bumskee: Im glad you liked my linework, its a never ending work he he
but heck I have good times with it so its ok,
I really liked you last black and white desings, I so want to steall
you desing sence!! :P

rodrigo!: Hey! thanks lets hope I keep the improvent through the
entire year :P some times I fell Im going bakcwards, Im happy
to read you liked the lifedrawing those are my personal
favs of the last week.

This new update is awesome. SO inspiring. The figures and self portait and fantastic and your progress just makes me want to draw all night, but sadly I can't cause it's 5:30 am. I gotta sleep. Rock on.

[Bloodsbane]

I haven't been in here for a while and BAM! soo much cool stuff. You're a drawing machine man!

[johnny78]

And another CAorg drawing machine :)

By the way: Happy birthday. I know that I´m late ...but better know than bever.

No crits with your pencilwork. And I guess that your digital stuff would enter the next level if you dared to use a not so transparent pencil tool instead of the airbrush-tool. I guess that this was -as your strokes would nor blend one into another -it would look more vivid.

[Setherial]

awesome

[maxetormer]

ChrisMayernik: i know the felling of wating to draw all nite long :D
Im very happy to hear you got inspired by my doodling, keep rocking
on I saw you SKB youv got some solid stuff there!!

Bloodsbane: hey thanks a lot Im glad you diged the updates!

johnny78: DUUDDE thanks a lot for droping by! Im so happy to hear you diged the pencil work, and you are spot on right on the paint thing, I need to do more deliverate strokes on my digital painting, thanks for pointing out!

Setherial: thanks a lot!!

Ok this is todays work, see ya guys later!!

Hello, well I just got really bumed down cause I got rejected from an editorial,
I made several ilo tests for them but in the end they did not go for any of
them, wich really got me depressed, I guess Ill just go try to the next one
and like that till the end of times, man living like a freelance aint easy...

So here they are the ilos and some imagination un god and a girl having a nice
good ol head ache

[kingcoyote]

That's rough man... It's one of the hardest things about this field. We constantly feel like we're not good enough, and then... Well, I'm not trying to kick you while you're down. Just keep plugging away at it, it wasn't a rejection of you, just wasn't what they were looking for.

You didn't seem as comfortable with the girl and dog as you are with the majority of the stuff you've posted. Do you think this is maybe because the balance of "out of your head" VS "life" drawings is off? I don't think so... I've seen a lot of imaginative stuff from you, and it still seemed to have the vitality of your life drawings. It's really hard sometimes to "switch gears" from one type of thing to another... I don't know. I'm trying to be encouraging, and truthful (as I see it) at the same time, when I know you're feeling a bit down... And I think I might be coming off as an A-hole, so I'm just gonna let it go.

Keep on doin' it man! I love your work, and it always inspires me to work harder. Take care, and be good.

Later
KC

[hurricane]

luis mi amigo ! :D
you are inspiring me in ways you can't imagine!
when i see your stuff i get envious, angry, depressed and happy at the same time :P
you're going places my friend!

cheers and much love!

[liam.c]

i know those days man .. hah f um
:P dont forget your a superhero )))

[maxetormer]

kingcoyote: yeah I know you dont mean to be harsh, dont worry I mean
some of the ilos I made for this test werent among my favorite subject matters
and I guess it shows in some areas, I liked the kid running and the big kid
with the green robe and the blue dog, but hey I know I cant win em all,
Im still years away from been the painter I wanna be, and hell yeah the gap
you talked about sure exists you see by every 20 lifedrawings I make 1
imaginaton pic looks solid, so I REALLY need heck of alot more practice :P
Take care and thanks for the honesty and nice words :D

hurricane: Im glad you are inspired by some of my suff ,
I know I am by the asum work you do man,
heck I bet I fell even more angry, depressed and happy when I look at
the awesomeness of you creatures and desings!
Its good to hear you get somethig out of my doodles
:D cheers and KEEP ROCKING bro!!!

liam.c: I will keep in mid the super hero stuff dude, but dam!!
then the clients must be like kriptonite :P

Ok some more inks and some tentative desing for this week chow

http://www.renderosity.com/photos/ArtistArticle14133.jpg

[Slash]

Luis my friend, you never stop amazing me! Your streak of rock solid pieces never stop, its inspiring to behold! I like how every page you post has a constant quality. Normally when i do something cool on a page i have some crappy stuff on it as well.

I noticed something kind of freaky on that last page, there's a few of those thumbnails that looks VERY much like some thumbnails i did a while ago! atleast the way i remember them! Its almost scary! :D

No crits from me this time, I just wanna thank you for rocking my socks! :D If i would have ONE nitpick it would be that the heart on the bottom of the "queen of hearts" piece looks like an upside down spade with that thing coming out of it on top.

[Interceptor]

Thank you for the early birthday present. Man. This is actually incredibly inspiring. I see how my sketchbook should look.

[maxetormer]

Slash: oh dont worry theres plenty of crap :P but thanks for beeing so
nice, it makes my heart go all warm and fuzzy, it is funny to read that we
have kinda the same aproach to silouttes, ill be asum to see yours just
for comparision, and yeah I would have to agree with you on the heart piece,
but hey I kinda liked the heart anyways :P and since theres no harm done...
Take care and keep rocking that thread out man!! :painting:

Interceptor: Your wellcome man, Im glad you get something out of
my artistic journey, its been a fun ride so far :^^:

Ok some late nite doodlign SP (my 100 Sp bw) of the day and some
ink stuff done while waching tv, see ya guys later!!

[T-Raktor]

I see that u made good use of your time in France :P Nice work, good straight lines, no scribles...what can i say: I LIKE IT!! :)

[dCepT]

Cabron! Love your inks, man! And the color-illos are the shit... stupid editor..that's all... hehe...

SP's are off tha hook!

[OleOlsen]

hey i really like those colored works a few posts above...superfine and supertasty....

[rodrigo!]

awesome variety and a tenfold improvement on the inkworks! its always a pleasure :)

[T-Raktor]

Oh and i must not forget the selfportraits u made, which are quite awesome. I mean u really know how to draw yourself...me..:( I made a selfportrait last week and weeeell, it kinda sucks...

[kingcoyote]

The initial concepts for the ChOW are lookin' good. I was going to give it a go, but didn't really get started yet, and I have to go back to work tomorrow, so... The guy with the biohazard emblem on his armour, and the cod piece just cracked me up! Your brain takes you funny places sometimes, innit?

Those ink drawings are just beautiful, too... I totally agree with what Hurricane said, and actually was thinking something similar. There's just some people's work that is sooo... I don't know, it's almost painful to look at some of your drawings because I admire them so much.

Take care, and be good. Keep on keepin' on, and keep on rockin'.

Later.
KC

[maxetormer]

T-Raktor: yeah doing inks is fantastic to control ones line, Im glad you like
my progress, let hope it keep this way :P

dCepT: HELL yeah!!! fcking idiots, thanks for the props and for the
ecouragment cabron man did I need it!

OleOlsen: Cool Im glad you dig em, they were fun, at least most of them :P

rodrigo!: hey I hope your doing well, nice updates on your SKB, im glad you
enjoy the updates god knows I like yours :D

kingcoyote: hey Im glad you are enjoying the ride man, I never drawed
batman before, I never were a big fan of him, but now a days I have felt the
need to draw him so I might include a full body shot just to see how I
would takle him.
You are rigth, get that same felling with hurricanes and most of the
pros around here, Im glad you like my work man, it really lifts my spirit to
read you get something out of my constant battle with paper :P
just keep pluing the skech away, the more you do the easier it gets,
not that I find it easy to do, but I do have to admint that certain things
do give me a littel bit less problems.

Ok some updates chow ideas I think I almost got it, and some elf, and
so that you guys see I still hammer the anatomy thing some arms
and body study, see ya later and THANKS for all the posts!!!

!!!!!!!:)!!!!!!

[T-Raktor]

I see some new and appealing updates here. Kewl man. As usual i will demand to see more :P

[ArcoNL]

Great updates!

[kingcoyote]

I love all the little stories your pictures tell... there's a lot of little comic gems, that crack me up sometimes!

I guess I can see what the curator meant... The pose looks "locked up", like you were frozen in place. Upon reflection, this really fits with the theme of the piece... I mean he is locked up both figuratively, and literally, but at a casual glance it could appear to be a flaw... I don't think that curator is very good at his job. What I mean is, he's supposed to think about art. Is that the only reason he gave you? what a dick! That's like saying, "You aren't getting in just because I say so." Don't let it get you down too much man... he's obviously a fucktard.

Oh, and I'm glad to see you're feeling better. You are aren't you? 've missed you lately.

Later.

Nice update, maxetormer. I like these huge bold black lines, they help lead my eye through the page (particularly the left image on this one http://www.renderosity.com/photos/ArtistArticle14356.jpg). Good stuff man.

[maxetormer]

sith: he he thanks Im glad those bold lines are doing their work :D

Awesome, your trad stuff rules. You definately deserve a job.

[Inkfish]

Hey dude!

Sorry i haven't posted here earlier, almost all my time have gone to the school applications and other work related stuff. I'll be more active by the end of this mpnth when all this settles down.

I like the bold ink stuff, and your pen rendering is really good. The inca(?) in
ArtistArticle14210.jpg is one of my favorites so far.

The last painting you posted has some anatomy issues. His right shoulder looks a bit off, the tricep looks a bit large compared to the other one. But when doing fantasy stuff, i don't think it really matters that much. I think it would benefit from tightenining the edges in the light side too.

Btw. check out our group forums in conceptart.org 3.0. There is a thread about a weekly activity inside our SSG.

All the best
Antti

hey up, I can see your line art is up with the big lads, also wanted to see more coloured pieces.
Maybe i could get some motivation that way, because atm colour is everything.... I want to be part of everything!

[seth1]

Yeahhh! Max is up in the house......... Max< I am really diggin the new pen and inks man.. Showing so much more life and rythm through out the drawing + keeping it simple with the forms and shape, nice. On this colored piece.. Watch those saturated colors...

[maxetormer]

Asoir: let your prayers be heard by the fantasy and concept desing gods!! :P

Inkfish: duuuuude thaks for stopinb by and for the honest criticing, yeah
the left arm looks kinda detached, I should work that out but it was
more of a color speedpaint so I just let the error stay, ill work on
this one a bit more perhaps more texture and some tighteing like
you say could make this one shine a bit more, bw good luck on your
school applications!!

liam.c: he he maybe we should fund a company to get hired by eachother :P

Cold: well actually value is everything if your grayscale is working then
you can use even graiss ugly tones and things still will hold up,
I mean ill look better if your color choises are good, but if your values
are wrong it does not matter how good you color is it would still look
like crap, thanks for stoping by and keep that SKB updated man, you
have some asum stuff there!!

seth1: he he yeah ill try to tone stuff down tho I liked how the color on the
orc turned out, It slightly on the to sat side I agree on that, Im still
struggleing to find this nice middle ground on color, Im glad you liked the
inks man, Im having shitloads of fund with em!!

INKS!!!

no under drawing except for the lady on the lower right side on the first page,
and no ref except for the lady on the lower left side and the girl head on the upper
left on the second one, still getting the hang of my aesthetics :/

[Cold]

I think im beginning to understand what u mean, thx maxetormer for the tip, il put it into practice asap!

*edit* Lovely line work!

[seth1]

Nice upate mate... What Ive read about colors is dont worrie about the color but the value. If you have the value right the colors will just fall into place, also dont try to force color out just let it flow...

[Inkfish]

Hey there!

Looking good as as always, bonus points for including Hulk Hogan too ;)

There seem to be some placement issues with a few of those inks(the eyes are a bit off with the second dude top right), but i think thats understandable when inking without a sketch beneath, i think it's a great way to practice precission.

[ah.heng]

i like that last few sketches, don't really have much to crit.

the last pic, the face seems to be a little off. otherwise, i think it's ok.

[maxetormer]

Cold: hey thanks Im glad you liked it, bw keep those values up!!

seth1: let it flow... will remeber that, thanks for droping by my friend

Inkfish: yep its a dam good pratice, and yep eyes placement is kinda funky,
o well onto the next experiment

ah.heng: Im glad you diged this last ones, faces are still a problem,
tho I kinda liked this last one, still ill try to be more presice on the future

Ok non ref doodles, seening what things I have learned as far as ligthing goes

[kingcoyote]

Love the robot legs on that guy! ...Aaaand the cod piece! I wonder if it makes it easier or harder with the ladies? Hs-ha!

Watch the hands! His left hand seems a little small to me... It looks a little odd to me too, but that might just be the angle. Hands always look off at the wrong angle, I think that's part of what makes them so hard to draw.

Awesome work lately! Some of it's a little wierd... But Awesome!

Later.

[kingcoyote]

...By wierd, I mean like William Burroughs. I guess surreal is more accurate...

[staylor]

Pretty cool new sketches.

There are a lot of small mistakes, but these are only sketches, so that's to be expected. I don't see any consistent problems so that's really good.

Some of the figures look rather stiff though. I don't know what you can do to fix it because I have the exact same problem though!

[maxetormer]

kingcoyote: he he weird is good man Im glad you diged the robot legs,
and I agree with you on the hands, Ill try do better the next time :D

staylor: Stiffness... this never ending problem, even tho I do belive
I make less stiff posses at least in promedy :P thanks for the
props and for the honest criticing keep hammering on man :^^:

Ok some guy smoking with an apple form a OC seccion with Seth
and some landscape compo study for a color work, let see if
I can pull this shit off.

Amazing handstudie and the front SKB is nice aswell.
