Trying my hand at Painter.....

[Ribking]

Hello all....
I've posted before (in the Thunderdome area), but this is the first I posted my artwork. Quite a while back, I made the transition over to 3D art and have been meaning to get back into painting/drawing/sculpting. I've been "out of the loop" so to speak when it comes to my traditional work and have been tryng to find my niche with a tablet + Painter. These are from the Shane Glines Drawing Jam. I wanted to participate in the DSG stuff, but I'm on US west coast and both times are during working hours (6pm for DSG, 12n for DSGEU).
Anyhoo....I'll stop rambling now.....
C&C greatly appreciated.

I know this doesn't actually count as "concept art", so if there is a more appropiate section, please let me know.
Thanx in advance!

Images not working - most likely due to paranthesis in link - so I hyperlinked them instead

Beautiful work! I like how they arent fully detailed but still feel finished and alive.

These paintings suck, and ribking is a loser who deserves to burn in hell! Just kidding! Good job Ribloser, they look good.

Those are nice looking, and I was refering to the chicks as well :)

Did you draw them by looking at the actual subjects? If so, man, I'd love to get into that class, lol.

Thanks for all your kind words....makes me feel nice!
These were done for theShane Glines Drawing Jam Forum (http://pub54.ezboard.com/fcartoonandillustrationparadise66133frm18). I wanted to get some steady practice, but can't participate in the DSG, so I went there instead.
