:ilaekae: see newer stuff!!! last page!


so this is my first post in my sketchbook, please be critical and if there is any problem with the images (new at posting) please tell me and I'll try to fix what is wrong.

I started this today and before I get too far on it I was looking for any insight.

Thanks!

[shidoken]

nice way to block in the head. i'd try not to get into the highlights til the very last step. try to mix your colors a bit more too.

that's all i can say right now since it is the beginning steps. just keep going and blend your colors well.

[notic]

Nice start, jaw looks a bit sharp though.

[minjarr]

thanks for the crits, I'm still starting to learn how to use color and imply form and shape with more than graphite.

?)

[minjarr]

um... also, I'm new at this whole forum thing, and I was wondering how you hotlinked your sketchbook to your name?

[Coen]

Hey minjarr nice start! Maybe it would be nice to make some kind of color texture in the background to make it more realistic (instead of pure black).

To get a link to your sketchbook under your message:

- go to 'User CP' (upper left corner of the page)
- on the left, click 'Edit Signature'
- click on the 'Insert Link' button above the textbox (the one with the little globe and the chain)
- paste the url of you sketchbook (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=86824) in it. You can type a title in the selected space after clicking ok.

Oh btw, when you reply, make sure 'Show your signature' is checked

[bhanu]

Ncie start to teh sketchbook minjarr. looks good. Now start posting your goodness.

[minjarr]

thanks for the help Coen, and thanks for the crits. And I'll be posting hopefully quite frequently thanks for the support!

Wow. Welcome to the forums. I can tell I'm gonna enjoy this thread a lot.
I look forward to seeing more from you soon.

[kuroart]

awesome stuff so far. I definitely want to see more and more finished stuff.
keep em coming.

[minjarr]

thanks for the support. I'm going to try and make this a regular thing, because I have to get better and this is a great spot for that.

thanks again and please crits and comments greatly welcomed

another warm up before y homework

[kuroart]

cool updates. the warrior and the creature are both pretty badass. The arm on the warrior slightly confused me a bit. but I think I see whats going on now. nice warmup.
oh, I go to the art institute in Schaumburg, IL outside of chicago. I'm assuming your game art major?
hope to see more soon.
peace

[minjarr]

kuroart- yeah that arm is supposed to open up and it connects to his weapon. I'll post the handgun that does that too, there's just a wire that hooks in. It is hard to see though.

Thanks for the crits and comments

Solike, your colors are fantastic. And i realllly dig the monster with the purple and blue scales.

[minjarr]

lauraD- thanks for support of my color, I've been trying to work with color for a few months now and I still have almost no clue of what I'm doing, I just do what I feel I spose

here's something I did a little while ago that I thougt went with that fatty above

[PaulGanguly]

Holy -

Wow, thanks for the response in my sketchbook. I figured at very least I owed you one, but I've gotta say, I've very glad I took a look at your sketchbook. The topmost image is great. I'd like to see you do more realism, but I love your color pallettes. Keep it up. I'd like to see what you do with some more character designs.

[cartoonfox]

Nice updates. I really like the latest pencil drawings.

Keep it up.

[minjarr]

sorry bout the mixup yoon545 is minjarr, but I forgot the username and password so I started a new one, and then realized I had the password written down, and I now I need to delete yoon545. Does anyone know how I can do that?

[minjarr]

that's all for today

i think....

[ArtZealot]

Hey dude. That's crazy, i've seen this sketchbook before but had no idea it was yours. You've got some really killer stuff in here. The monster you posted up earlier today that you were doing in Linda's office is really good, especially for how quick you busted it out. I'd like to see more of your digital stuff though. You seem more comfortable with pencil and paper but the few digital sketches of yours that i've seen were really cool.
The only thing i can really critique is that some of the faces on your characters look a little overworked. Like if the detail in some of the faces were taken down just a notch it might look good and save time in the longrun. But yeah thats just personal opinion, something maybe to experiment with. I really like everything in here though, really impressed, keep on truckin.

thanks in here too!

[TomCardin]

Gave you some stars! Very nice work here. Your anatomy studies are beautiful and the lighting in your digital pieces is immaculate. I Look forward to more finished works here. Great creature designs too!

I have a crit for your spaceman design in the last post. The tip of his gun is riding too close to the left hand margin of the full figure pic. Its pulling the eye away from the figure. The shadowed areas of the figure are a bit too saturated with color and seem to bright. This flattens him out a bit.

Thanks for checking out my sketchbook and leaving kind words! Keep up the excellent work.

[minjarr]

thanks, I think I'm going to work on detailing the gun out a bit better, by adding a scope and shortening the barrell. As far as the shadows I think they do look a little unsaturated and I'll try to make them more distinct.

I have a 6 page essay to write right now, but I'll get to as soon as I can.

Thanks for the advice

keep it coming though!!

[Sepulverture]

hey man thanks for commenting in my sketchbook! You've got some awesome studies in here. You use charcoal on newsprint? Would love to see some more color stuff from you.

[minjarr]

Hey man, thanks, I've been really ichin' to do some more action and composition peices but I graduate soon and I wanted to get a job in concept design. I dunno really, we'll see how it goes. Definitely, though once things settle down from school that's all I'm doing, is drawng and painting all day, job, home, whatever.

anway, thanks man!

[minjarr]

hey dooders, here's something new I did, it's not really a cover it's just something I did.

115441

115442

[ArtZealot]

I really like that process piece, it's interesting to see how u work. It makes me want to post one. It's very subjective, but I almost liked your initial composition idea better than the one with alyx, though. something about the first one i think seemed more balanced, or maybe it had more drama.
Also, I kind of feel like gordon should be contrasted out more or alyx knocked back with a little atmospheric perspective. It looks like the story of the drawing is more about gordon than alyx, but they both have really similar levels of contrast and detail and it's hard to tell where the focal point is. Anyway, that's all i can see to crit at the moment. it looks very nice. Hope my crits are useful.

[Envisor]

Cool SB. Very nice studies. Clean lines and good proportions. Keep it up.

[minjarr]

thanks guys,


yeah all my friends wanted me to draw a girl, so I did one, and I like it.

I've been noticing that I look at a lot more men than women, so I'm trying to see the "simple" structure in the female body.

lovely how women are though, simply lovely...

[CouchPotato]

Really like the way you texture your metal stuff, seems almost real...mind if I ask how you paint those out?

[Call0ps]

yes sir they are, I'm not sure that it's coming across that way very well, I'm not very good at a lot yet. I'm still trying to put people "in" things.

If you have any advice or perhaps books I could refer to, that'd be great

I think your stuff is great :] I always did. You're doing awesome! Maybe I should start a sketchbook? I like your use of colors but I bet 5 bucks that you can take it another step and just go crazy. Do it!

[stone.]

hello minjarr,

just wanted to stop by and say: DAMN NICE !

love your stuff... great style, love the shading... nice nice :)


i got inspired by that little sketch (see the marked one) and tried to paint him my self... hope you dont mind and if so, just tell me and i will remove it from my sketchbook (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=93557) :)

[bhanu]

thats a really cool thread.
theres not much I can say , the colors are wonderful so is the linework and anatomy. lovely thread.

[BohemianChaos]

omg man... you've been busy. This is a great sb!! :D I'll be keeping an eye on this one. Stars for you!!

[n0ireclipse]

Ah, nifty. I like the guy with the spear because....his shadow is awesome. xD Don't often see shadows in front of the people.

Let's see, as to your earlier question..It looks more to me like they're falling through a tornado, since the clouds are sort of circling them. Though, maybe that's how it works. I've never actually fallen through the sky before. :'[ -inexperienced- Hm..the colors of the sky are a little too streaked right now. Not sure if that's just because it's still a WIP or what :0 sorry I don't have any good books to refer you too

[minjarr]

hey, thanks for all the help.

I'm not sure with the whole cloud things yet, I think I might do the tornado idea and change it up a bit. It was missing something so I didn't want to go too far on it.

newhooz,

Dope work man. really digin post #91. It seems your growing with every post, your anatomy killer dont see much i can crit on just keep feeding the book.

[Darktwin]

Whats going on Minjarr, nice progression man, like your choice of colors in your recent digi. In the piece with the 3 goblins, I think you need to simply the background man, Its very distracting from the figures. I would also work on composition placement. It seems to me that they're just stacked behind the other, maybe move the foreground goblin to the left, or add more goblins to break up the composition thus far. When first looking at the goblin piece it read more like they're running down a cave or something. Penils are looking good. Keep working hard man, its really showing through. I know your wondering when i'm going to be posting color, its on the way.

Will be around, take care man

nice studies, i like the skulls. how long does painting a character like that take approximately

[minjarr]

about six hours, all painted with a round brush, except that little drippy thingy in the back. I've been forcing myself not to use brushes for like six months now. It's tiring, but I think it's slowly making me a little better. Forcing me to paint the texture work and everything, plus it's kind of fun.

[oalexis]

thats cool, and kinda what i do alot. i only use a hard edge round brush, and sometimes a round airbrush.

[Doudou]

Hey man, I love ur thread, i like the prtrait of the woman at the begining, i like the anatomy studies up there, good worx...

[thirdeye]

I really love your sketchbook. Anatomy studies back on page one look amazing, other pencil sketches too. Your painting skills need some honing though :) Your doing great job with rendering and showing form and lighting but colors look a bit too sterile for me - they need some more variations. Also work on the skin tones :) I know how hard it is to get the colors right - I'm also still strugling with my paintings.

Cheers :)

errokay something more to say,actually a question, what does the name of your thread mean? just curious.

[oalexis]

i have also wondered that bhanu. i like the new work. might be a little dark but its probably my crappy monitor.

[minjarr]

woah, I was wondering when someone was going to ask that,it's latin which roughly translates to (I go) which can be translated as "time to move" . so time to move to me meant time to get off my ass and work as hard as I can and make the dream tangible.

thanks doods for the support!! hope that was insightful?!

[minjarr]

a lava environment where my assasin lady makes a deal with the guy in charge for some material so she can go and kill a dragon

this material is only found down under the ocean near magma, and this happens to be an underwater cavern air bubble thingy full of magma

What do you plan on doing during the summer? Scupt is looking really good man, nice detail and posture. Its really coming along nicely.

Really inspiring work here sir, Keep inspiring us.
later bro

[bhanu]

Hey minjarr,
Thanks for droppin by my sb man.Nice to see you playing with watercolors, I thin Its very important to play with watercolors first , to understand how they behave , and to see them in their true beauty. Techniques come later.Right now just have fun with it. The anatomy totally did me in , the details are awesome. And so is the sculpt. Err can we get a more focused pic on the sculpt.
Keep us updated man.

[minjarr]

sorry bout the blurry pic, I didn't know until I put it up, but when I get done I'll be sure to do clear pics of it.

thanks!

Coudlnt sleep? hmmm, man I wish I could do that too. But I am a sleepy head.
so crits on the lsat colors? hmm some values are out of place.you could give the skin tone a bit more tanned look ,add some cold colors too. But Its better to not listen to me,I dont know jack about colors.hehe.
Anyways great stuff you churning out. Keep updating .

[Gleeson]

dude i love your pencils. Those anatomy studies are ace. Some of your drawings would have been realy set off if you had a few more moments of shapness and tonal intreague but they are awesome regaurdless

[InFlame]

hey, I love your pencil stuff and the sculptures. Which material do you use for them? Looks a little bit like wax... I am curious. :) They are so great...
Oh, and those anatomy studies are wonderfull...love them!
I want to see more of your art! :)

[minjarr]

callops-thanks!
inflame- I'm not sure, it's the second one in zbrush 3. If you can you should check it out, it's great I would suggest to anyone that likes to sculpt trying zbrush.

anywho, just some more sketches, still pondering what to paint

Welcome, Minjarr!

Great pencils, 3d models, sculpture...great concepts...Amazing to see such a variety of talent in media!

Keep posting, great stuff man.

[bhanu]

awesome sketches man, like always.
Is the second character conan?Really nice anatomy on that one.
last one though needs some corrections,but I think you know what needs to be done.
Take care.

[minjarr]

i really had nobody in mind when I was drawing it, I'm pretty new to this whole fantasy art stuff, but everyone keeps telling me he looks like conan. Got any great ref of him? maybe I could make some cool hybrid.

thanks!

[minjarr]

heeeyy! so I felt like digi doodling today and this is what came out. I'm not sure if i'll finish it but it totally revived my love for some certain things!

I really love your work , especially the pencil sketches on this page.

[bhanu]

new to fantasy?
Have you heard of frank frazetta. his conan paintings are the best.

Err if you want some comics than john buscema is by far the best.

[ArtZealot]

Your stuff continues to amaze me. I really like the one that you did when you said you couldn't sleep, the one of the barbarian looking guy lounging in a chair. I got no crits really, your stuff is getting insane wicked. Keep it up. I'm digging the recent fantasy theme you've been going with too, its definately workin for u.

[minjarr]

criminal components- thanks I needed some pos reinforcemnt

koh- I hope so, I think sketches are the barf of the brain and it's truly where your ideas are free to do what they want

bhanu- as I already replied on his sb, thanks a ton, new to him and already fell in love thanks bhanu

artzealot- I always stood away from the fantasy type stuff, but after talking to Derek I just went with it and tried to make it my own. Still a long ways away but atleast I found something new that love.

thanks dooders! I'll finish up that wip asap and hopefully I'll hear back from some of you.

weeee!!!!!!

i think u should put a little more detail into the skull. just my two cents, other than that good work :D

[minjarr]

oalexis- thanks I totally overlooked that, I'm finishing school up so I don't have to much time for that stuff right now. Lots of stupid portfolio sheets and such to get ready, but when I get the chance I'll go back and revise it along with a few other things.

thanks again, good eye

[minjarr]

Hey thanks a bunch for the reply in my sketchbook with the info on the deco brush, much appreciated,

I like the loose quality of this last painting you did.

[minjarr]

So, just graduated and I've been applying everywhere, so I've been applying more than drawing and I hate that.

So until then,... WIPs

Hey Oil paints looking pretty good, I say check out the Fine arts section here, there are so many good threads on Oil painting, so much useful information in there.

Hey Minjarr,

Heres the link to the Fine arts, Studies & Discovery section:
http://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7

There's so much info on painting with oils in those threads.

[_andreas_]

cool sb and i like the way you put up your grad show
cool stuff!

[minjarr]

just some more thingies.

163927

163928

BTW!

Mr.Joe- Thank you soo much for introducing me to the fine art section. I'm still very new to this whole drawing and painting part of things. I've been going to school for 3D for like 3 yrs, but now that's over and I'm trying to think of how to further my 2D art skills.

NE suggestions of any great schools?

[Mr-Joe]

Hey No problem, The last portrait Oil looks really good, did you use reference?

As for suggestions for schools, I don't know all that much about that, I suppose it depends on what your trying to learn, My suggestion would be to dig through these forums, theres so much information in here, and books, There are some real good books and if you read through them and study and practice i'm sure you can accomplish what you want. I have no post high school, schooling, Although my skills arn't where yours are I'm not defending not going to school , but I feel that I've learned a lot and improved a lot in a couple years of just learning from others on these forums and through books and practice.

By the look of your 2d drawing work in this sketchbook it looks like you already had some training of some sort, your understanding of anatomy seems to be very good, and if you haven't had some training already then by the look of your artwork you seem to have the determination to learn no matter what the circumstance is.

There is also a section for Art schools and education here : http://conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=15 Theres some good information about some schools there.

If I were to go to a school, from what I know now I would most likely choose an atelier, and focus on studying foundations in art. Or I would probably find a artist who teaches, who's work I like or how he teaches and ask to learn from them.

By the way what school did you go to?

Oh also, out of curiosity on your grad show picture it shows you standing to the left and sais "nate, 2d artist" and the guy on the right is standing under "jason, 3d" are you the 2d concept artist?

[minjarr]

So to anyone that reads this forum, I'm sorry I haven't been on, lately, I don't have the internets right now, and I have to get on when I can. I promise I will post much much more very soon.

Thanks! and please keep c&c!

-Minjarr

[oalexis]

i'm excited for your return :)

[RichKid]

your stuff has come a long way, that last creature head you posted makes me happy. its fun flipping through here cause you can see what artist is infulencing you the most at the time, and when you are just doing things that you want to do. i like the flushed out digitals the most, they dont have the feeling of trying to replicate someone else, its more of just you. keep crackin on that and find yourself and what you want to be.

peace

[minjarr]

hey guys sooo.. I know I haven't been on in a while.

Sorry bout that, I've just recently gotten pretty busy. So here's something for now. I know it's only a face, but more will come one I start to organize my stuff.

Lates!

hey man, just wanted to drop a line. the link to my sketchbook should be at the bottom here. you still have my e-mail too, right?

[minjarr]

Hey,

So this weekend I went to an oil painting workshop and got my first real taste for oil. The wkshp was with David Darrow, who is at (shamless plug) darrowart.com. Y'know supporting the cause!

Anywho, here's what I did

[bhanu]

nice oils mate, been a while since I visited your sb also been a while since you last updated. YOur still goin great guns I see.
Asspats..

[minjarr]

Thanks man, I've been trying to do more traditional studies lately. I've never done any of this before and now I'm realizing I should have been doing this the whole time. Anyway, thanx again!

[Darktwin]

Wow Minjarr great oil portraits, how long was the workshop, I can see you learned a lot man, thats awesome! How is everything going? I hope well, keep up the awesome work man, Are you going to make it to the Seattle workshop? Keep working hard man.

Cheers :)

[BohemianChaos]

please post more!! :teeth:

btw, will you be attending the workshop in Seattle in January?

[ccsears]

hey nate,

the oils are coming along nicely. glad to see you're painting--keep at it!

[cartoonfox]

Awesome updates. I haven't been here in a while.
Loved the photos from your graduation show. My graduation show is coming up next July, I gota start working for it!!

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more soon : ]

[minjarr]

Hey guys, thanks for the kind words!

I've been a little occupied lately, but not by art. (my girlfriend-pet bite-emergency room) and now that everything is sort of back to normal, I'll hopefully be much more active.

So here's this portrait I did last weekend.

242526

[oalexis]

I'm glad to see that you're finally back :) i can't wait for more of your crazy digital goodness! i like your strokes on the portrait. does she have leaves in her hair?

[minjarr]

Oalexis- yeah, those are leaves. I know I should put more definition in them, but I was trying to pull the viewers eye toward her eye more. (the less the contrast the less distracting it is and visa versa), but I probably should have put more of an indication

thanks!

[BohemianChaos]

hey, that portrait is lookin' nice. :) I'm just now trying oils for myself for the first time, and I like them a lot.

yes, I am going to Seattle in Jan... and I'm uber excited. :tihi: I'm planning on chatting it up w/ Hussar regarding oils, as well as a few of the other greats. Yay!

oh, and thanks for stopping by my sb, and commenting on my website. That free simpleviewer program makes galleries a breeze. There are a few things I still need to tinker with, but I'm really happy with it. :)

Can't wait to see more.

[minjarr]

Hey there!

So I'm starting this new story of mine, that has something to do with Space cowboys of sort. (excuse to draw monsters and people with guns in space type environments)

So little by little I'll be doing things for that.

SOoooo, my fourth stab at oil, and I think, no wait, yep I have no idea what I'm doing with it yet.

All I can say is that it feels right to use oil, and I'm starting to hate digital. (sorry!)
