nice stuff and keep on working!

do some anatomy studies too!

cheers

[Aslev]

hey there armetage, nice start! I believe i've seen you on GF some time ago, i remember this (http://robin.reign.se/Mrsmithweb.jpg) image.

i think your latest piece(syndaren) looks very promising, one crit would be the background and sky, looks like there's too much light grey.

are you attending any art classes? life drawing?

keep posting!

[armetage]

Hurricane: thx man!
Notic: hello there!, thx for your support ^^, yeah im attending to art classes, "kroki" life drawing etc etc.. How about you? Do you go in school or ?

About the background, ive actually changed it into blue instead of red in the latest version.. Think im pretty pleased with it now.. I know how too change the light so it looks more realistic, but i dont want that in this picture .

Best Regards Robin

[Envisor]

Great work on these last posts. Been a while since I've been here. Two things to say tho, try and use more confident strokes when doing your pencil sketches, you seem to have a etchy way to drawing. And secondly, would like to see some pencil sketches you have taken at least 2-3 hours on. Keep up the good work.

[armetage]

ok il try do that, i never take time on my pencil drawings since i dont really want that. But sure, il do some drawings where i put some more time into

[armetage]

some new images, i really like these ones, what do you think? (brush pen)

okey i need critics on the last picture, i dont know how i want to cut" the image (frame it)
And im not sure about the colors, what do you think?
http://robin.reign.se/skit/conceptart/nyaste/24.jpg
http://robin.reign.se/skit/conceptart/nyaste/23.jpg

[armetage]

im thinking of adding sparks from the left arm too the lower right side too draw the eyes attentions across the image more. What do you think about that?

[Hurley]

Hello armetage :)

Great sketchbook going here! Your studies are going great! As for the last piece, great job, I like the colours, and I prefer the larger version.

Keep up the good work.

[armetage]

I saw a guide that shows how you can improve your pencil linework and shading here somewhere but i just cant find it again.
It showed how too use lines for shading etc. I would be really glad if someone knows where too find it.
Best regards Robin

[armetage]

thx hurley i will surely keep that in mind! Il be updating the image soon

[designboot]

keep up the good work!

[o00o0o0o0o0o]

[motives]

Nice sketches, robin!
Its fun to see that your keeping at it. It will pay off big time later on!
What I can see you are drawing from reference often? anime and manga is nice but it's really good to draw from life also.
I think thats the best way to learn how to make nice rednerings and also learn how the light falls over objects.

Your drawings are really good and full of color, wich I like, but I think you should try to turn down the hue (kulörthet?) to make other things pop out more. I know i have seen your drawings in Stahlbergs paintovers?

I like your sketchbook, keep it up!

cheers :]

[miNze]

wow very creative =)
inspiring ...

[RandAlThor]

Sweet. some moments of real inspiration here and there. i even right clicked and saved some ;-) keep it up..

[armetage]

motives: Thx for your good comments!, im drawing with and without references, in colour and without colour :), i just havnt scanned so much since i got A4 scanner and most of the images are drawn on A3 :/ .. Need too get that camera working!! ^^
Anyhow.. im trying to learn as much as possible about light and form atm. The anime/manga sketches is just for fun, i like manga alot but im not drawing it very much actually. Oh and yes stahlberg has done paintover for me so it possible that you have seen me there aswell

miNze: thanks alot!

RandAlThor: wow! saved some images! that sounds really good :) you made my day!

I will post more soon

[Chaotica]

Dude I like the way u have gone back to ur older works and have refined them...i could see a hecka lotta improvements in ur efforts tht way...still needta work on those antomy and body structs!! good works in ur skecthbook! keep em coming!

[pepps]

hey eheh I like colours especially in the 2 pieces you spent i think more time into, the guy kneeling and the angel guy, i like them, i think the composition is good, and also forms and lightining are done well i think eeheheh, but it looks like they are mostly all not finished....i think that you are looking for the right composition for the angel guy so that`s why you`re not finishing....but for example the kneeling guy, could usemore refinement in the it`s environment and the other drawings too but i guess those are just sketches and the finished ones re too big to be scanned? eheheh well if that`s so then make some photos!!! ehehe anyway i think you should get the kneeling guy to a finished state, it looks good for me and well you should be more than able to make it look great! ehehe and the same goes for the angel guy XD i actually like him more :) and his background uhm...i think i like the last one better...eheheh
really want to see them finished!!

[Dile_]

I'm honored your posted in my book, Those sketches are really great!
Please keep sharing those robin!

-Dennis

[armetage]

chao: thx man! i like too go back when i think ive learned more so i could refine them alittlebit more.
pepps: thank you very much! im working on the kneeling guy and the angel guy atm, but i dont know exactly where i want too go with them :)
Dile: im honored too have you here mate! keep the pencil glowing

[armetage]

here are updates of the angel guy, im chaning saturation and background at the moment. I want too make the background looking chaos like, with some cool stuffs going on , since this guys is really badass but still half human.
For those who are interessted, here is my original story for this picture(but i think the image have changed direction during time)

From the deeps of the sea the sea God came took my lovers life, trapped for eternity within the water. I turned myself to the darkness for help... It answered my call.. what is this feeling... This void of emptiness.. all this anger.. all these powers.. Ive finally got my lover back(in the sphere) and the sea God is no more. But my lust for blood isnt over.. I cant controll myself, it feels like something dark inside of me is growing more and more.

[K-Line]

Some fantastic work here! Thematically awesome, but you've obviously not let the theme get in the way of developing technique and style. Nice!

[Camara]

Don´t be offended but I am confused.Some images are very good,others are bad,you don´t have a clear style,is always changing;the anatomy is very good in some of your pics but weird in others.You don´t have an ascendent progression line,your work jumps from very good to weird and the signatures are hardly the same in each pic...seems to be two or more different persons working on this SB.All this work is yours?

[armetage]

Camara: Well some of my images are kinda old, some are made fast without much thinking.. Its not very often i really take the time too make the proportions right etc so well i guess thats my answer. Im lazy sometimes but also on some of my eariler images the anatomy is really changing since i only knew a few thing so sometimes the images became good and sometimes not.. Im still working on that anatomy. And yes all of those images are mine and made by me, if not otherwise stated above or below the image(like the carlos huantes studies).

[armetage]

Here is an update again, what do you think? im thinking of adding some weps and props on the back

[Robz]

http://robin.reign.se/skit/conceptart/lose.jpg
hahaha first of all great art but the dude doesnt have a mouth how does he talk? :D

[armetage]

Hello again everyone, ive been thinking some and ive made up my mind.. I like lots of colour so why shouldnt i have it in my picture? Well its a kinda evil image and low saturations would surly fit that but! thats not me, i want the piece too feel like its made from me.. my style so .. Here it is again fokes, alittlebit more me in it!

[Chris Noeth]

Hey armetage,

I like the pastell colors in your last pic... makes it unique.

Best,

Chris

[lennon]

Wow, you're really mastering the colors and drawing!

[DeJakhalz]

I agree with camera, it looks like you are going too fast, you want too much too fast. I would like to see more anatomy studies, some bone anatomy too.
It will be worth it. Keep on experimenting too, you got a great imagination.

[armetage]

its true i want too much, but i dont think thats a bad thing really. Im doing studies besides this, i just dont use too upload them Thx for critiques dudes!

[AmontilladoAg]

I like the sky in your finished dark-angel pic... man, that piece went through quite an evolution :D

Keep doin' those heads, faces, anatomy studiez! :) Definite improvement here!

As for the last pic, seems to me the background is kind of distracting...

Anyway, nice SB. :)

Working on this one atm, crits?

[Jakers]

Hey thanks again for the help with my picture in the WIP section!

For a post on the last page, with the character in your avatar, I think I like the larger image better also so you can understand his surroundings...and there is good intention with your idea of adding sparks so I think it would look nice - though there is already decent eye morement.

For the one you just posted, I like the dream-like colors of the top left.

I looked through here once before and there was a paintover of it with the characters closer together - it seemed to create a more impactful conflict. I think though with this one, what you have might better depict the story, seeing as your character is being interrupted as he goes about refreshing the forest.

Neat stuff!

[crisis]

Hi there, great SB, your digital work is right down my alley. Lookin forward to see more.

btw, har du gått några kurser utbildningar osv?

[armetage]

Jakers thank you very much, I dont understand if you want me too change the characters closer or if you actually liked it as it is?

crisis: Thx man! your sb looks interessting! keep it going!
Nej jag har ingen utbildning mer än att jag utbildar mig själv ganska seriöst iom att jag SKA jobba med detta i framtiden

[crisis]

Thanks for visitng my sb, I read what you wrote in an older post "I saw a guide that shows how you can improve your pencil linework and shading here somewhere but i just cant find it again.
It showed how too use lines for shading etc. I would be really glad if someone knows where too find it.
Best regards Robin" .. i saved some images a while ago, it might be them. I'll post them right here.. and when you saved them we can remove them if u don't want them messing up your sketchbook.
well here they are

[Mr.Delicious]

ouuu, love that last one! I would like to see some more contrast in that background, make the brights brighter. Awesome work though

[armetage]

crisis thx man! yeah i think thats the one i was looking for! 1000 thanks!
Mr.Delicious: thx! ive been thinking about make it brighter but i wasnt sure but now i will try it out and see how it goes

[Jakers]

Jakers thank you very much, I dont understand if you want me too change the characters closer or if you actually liked it as it is?


I think both are good. Close together is more tense and exciting.

However, I think that the way you presently have it (further apart), may be better for story purposes!

Just a different mood based on where you put them. Up to you of course ;)

[armetage]

Updated version again, Hope you like it mates!

[armetage]

Ive just discovered that im ALWAYS sketching too small... its harder.. it gets messier.. it gets lots of less details.. OK i will change this in the future

[armetage]

Some more junk

[armetage]

Many of these sketches i blown up pretty much, hence lack of quality

[armetage]

:blahblah: here it comes again :P

[armetage]

:yayca: :yayca:
more more

[crisis]

Hey, Void of spirits, awesome! And your last sketches look really good to.. what kinda paper and pens do you use mostly?

[armetage]

thx crisis!
well mostly any paper i can find.. just regular printer paper / 120g GARI paper / other cheap sketchpads found in regular swedish stores. In special occasion i also use my Bienfang graphics 360 100% translucent marker paper combined with copic markers or prisma color virthin pencils (ordered from the US since sweden doenst seems to have the paper nor prismacolor pencils)
Pens: koh-i-noor is my favorites (HB-6B tends too be my range)
Staedtler.
Mechanical lead with faber castell 2B
I also got some prisma color pencil with totaly kicks ass! Really nice value range with a single pencil, but they cant be erazed!

[armetage]

for the rocord.. DAMN im a broke man.. i really need to get myself a better job soon :P

[windlee]

According to thus of speed painting the bottom go to, you of the progress be obvious and astonishing!I think ° to be good you!

[armetage]

I did this piece today.. took 2 hours or so, much sketching behind it construction lines + remake on a markerpaper

[armetage]

i will upload some studies soon

[armetage]

Here comes some studies all drawn from my mind.
They aint really beautiful too look at but i though maybe someone could have use for them.. well obviously I will have alot of help from them since its stuff i recently learned

[armetage]

here it goes

[armetage]

more.

[armetage]

Made this one after some regular face studies

[armetage]

just some scribbles

[Chance.]

Good start, your painting is quite developed, impressive.

I know it's hard, but keep at the drawing practice, it will help the rest of your art.

Keep up the anatomy study, it's one of the hardest things to master but one of the most necessary for any type of illustration.

[armetage]

thx chance! Yeah im sticking too the drawing at the moment and just do some paintings in between for some fun.
Im not much for fancy shading, thats not the first thing you want too learn. It actually feels like im having a breakthrought or are at the right track for one atleast :) feels good

[TheGnoll]

hey man, very nice work.I like your paintings a lot, looks like you're more confident with colors than with lines...exactly the opposite of me :)

The latest sketches show improvement and dedication, and that is good.I had a very hard time understanding how to draw batman's head for some reason, i ended up realizing its really hard to make it look right by usign just lines...Good to see you've been drawing bigger too, and the quality of rendering and lines ins improving quickly ;)

good work man, keep sharing :)

ciao

[armetage]

Thegnoll oh an honor too have you in here. thanks for your nice comments :)

[armetage]

Just practising some more lines and form. Still without references

[armetage]

bad designs but still practice

[armetage]

A part of a anatomy study im doing at the moment

[TheBeast]

thx for the comment,
you realy have some nice studys here.... but i miss the dynamic of the first posts a bit, please dont get to fixed, i like your powerfull art.

[armetage]

theBeast i will promise you that more dynamic will come soon, just need to sort some of the proportions and anatomy first, you know.. the basics :D then il start doing more dynamic and more alive art :) this is pure studies and just for myself though i show them here cus you never know if anyone will be helped by them

[AmontilladoAg]

Sweet improvementz goin' on here, man :) Very nice work!

[armetage]

I like this one

[motives]

Hey! Really great works in here! Some times it seems to be som rushes in your drawings which can look a litte bit messy, but i dont think that is a problem here. You are a good sketcher and your digital is strong, especially your palette. I love the forest picture!
Bra jobbat!!

[Tigermilk]

hey, looks great man! Keep posting sketches! I really really dig the void of spirits btw. :)

Härligt härligt!

[armetage]

A part of the studie, im studing with help of:
The structure of man DVD series.
Mentlers bone sketches.
Robert beverly hale "Artistic Anatomy book"
and last but not least from life :)

[armetage]

AmontilladoAg: thx man! i can actually feel my improvements, im learing new stuff everyday and guess what ! i remember them aswell :)

Motives: thx! well i tend to rush my drawings since i know that i dont have enough knowlage to make them as good as i want to at the moment. Most of them is just test too se what i have learned or experiments.

Tigermilk: Oh thank you :), glad that you like void of spirits, its one of my favourits aswell (that i have made ofcourse )

Well boys and gals, il keep up with the studies and get back too you asap

[Flaskpost]

Fina grejor! Gillar sista studien som tusan. Ös på! :)

[AnthonyFoti]

wow, I really like the Void of Spirits, I can see how much time and effort you put into it. Good work!

[armetage]

Updated :)
Ok im happy with it now i think

[Jakers]

Cool new design. I have to say I had trouble reading the forms strongly, specifically the arm.

The back arm feels strange to me. It looks like his left shoulder would be back further since it appears that his back is facing us. Sure he could position his shoulders similar to this but it doesnt look natural :) Maybe suck in that elbow more to his body. More color!

[armetage]

Here is a new wip :)

[MeTaL-Mike]

nice sb man. keep em comin :d

[armetage]

Another updated. Need to keep updating :)

[armetage]

A picture i did earlier this year. Thought it would be fun to show it here aswell

[armetage]

Some sketches :)<3

[armetage]

Anotherone not quite complete but thought i would post an updated version atleast

[armetage]

Oh i forgot this small one :)

[Jakers]

Woh dude nice updates!

Very neat stuff happening in this one
http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1501331&postcount=102

Such a neat mix of texture and shape. The bg could be a little more crisp perhaps but I love that one so far. I dont know if I'm keep on the different boot sizes for some reason...and the large piece of equipment on the back I find distracting from the nice things happening with his shoulders etc...

I think there is a gap between referenced faces and the ones out of your head, so keep workin with those references and the gap will start to close in no time! Though maybe its just a more anime influenced style that is causing it? Nice comparison of the old and new also, that must be nice for you to look at. Farewell friend

[armetage]

Thank you very much for the comment Jakers!
Well the gap would probably be pretty big since i havnt come that far in my practice yet, Still trying to gasp the forms and proportions. Shading will have to wait some alittlebit more :)

[armetage]

2 more

[The-Mentat]

Nice digi's. Your progression from 2006 to 2007 is pretty sick, especially on the right painting, lots of improvement! Just keep on studying anatomy and life drawing and you'll be fine.

[armetage]

Flameseeker:
Thanks man very kind of you :) il check out your stuff aswell and put a comment or 2 :)

[armetage]

sketches

[armetage]

And again some fast new ones

[jordyskateboardy]

SOme lovely work you got here. I especially like your use of color. It gives a really great dark and morbid mood. Im also a big fan of that picture where the guy is kneeling in front of some rails and his arms are being electrified or something. LIke the perspective and mood. Keep it coming mate.

[armetage]

Some of my anatomies studies. Sorry text in swedish but i just want to have them in my sb so i can go back and remind myself and also see my progress, and who knows.. maybe someone else has use for them. No fancy shading or anything here.. Just skribbles to sort things out in my head ;)

[toubab]

impressive work, you got great skills in digital painting! :)

[xenos]

wow, your color work is gorgeous! (like the ones in post #61 & #102)
keep up the good work! :teeth:

[armetage]

Another mixed update.
Some studies and some for fun, I should also mention that many of my studies comes from riven phoenix the structure of man and also lots of my own thoughts.

[Dandilion]

You got some cool stuff going on here.. ^^
Keep it up!

~Em

[armetage]

I just finished this piece
Maybe not for the sb but i like to gather my work here so

[armetage]

closeups

[Mr.Delicious]

the design is really random, but other than that it looks reall cool.

[armetage]

hehe okey ;> the design is appealing to me actually

[armetage]

new ones

[jordyskateboardy]

WOah! Love the new ones. Great use of color. Flora and characters are top notch too!

[The Curehead]

ever watched princess mononoke?

Beautiful realizations here, a little more sharpness in brushes would be good

Mr Armetage it has been a little while...the last 3 images, fantastic! Definately your style and interesting lighting. Out of the 2 on this page I think the composition of the upper one is stronger, the other leans to the left - perhaps that tall building in the left BG would fit better on the other side?

Anyways great style, glad to see your still going with it ;)

[armetage]

jordyskateboardy: thanks alot mate!
The Curehead: Thanks! yeah ive watched that movie its so f*k good :)
Towarlock: thanks for the tip i will keep that one in mind!
Jakers:thanks! im glad you like it. You could be right about that composition maybe its alittlebit to heavy, for me it still works though but i will keep it in mind for next image!

[armetage]

No references used for any images here (you can probably tell)

Okey so the first new image uploaded is kinda a failure dont you think? i mean i went to fast with the whites when creating it and the perspective got messed up didint it? Please cut me in half with critiques about this one atleast :D


2nd one is also a speedpainting done in about 1-2 hours i dont remember actually. I was experimenting with things, crits?

3rd: started out as a experiment with 4pts perspective (which is new for me) but i think i fail somewhere at the middle of it :)

4th: An happy accident which i refined and got pretty pleased with, yet again the perspective isnt perfect.

conclusion. I need to put out those perspective lines in the future.

Could anyone help me out with 4 & 5 pts perspective, i got a teori about it but im not really sure how it works.

[The Curehead]

wow that last one is really awesome,wouldn't look out of place in a metroid game.statue is really cool.

[Dandilion]

Cool stuff!
Vad har du för dig om dagarna? :P

~Em

[armetage]

The Curehead: thanks! oh metroid i just love those games!
Dandilion: tackar, vad jag har för mig om dagarna, jadu jag målar en hel del och försöker lära mig nya saker hela tiden ;>
Hurså? själv då?
Btw har vi snackat innan? (ursäkta om jag är glömsk i så fall ;>)

[roidvoid]

wow these are really good.
better than three stars if you ask me....
looks like u learned a lot from the vyle dvd. its great. now make some of your own brushes and show us what u can do

[armetage]

roidvoid: ive watched it and its a great video, i learned a few thing about how he used his brushes which helped me alot. Now i can take that knowlage and applie to my other brushes and make my own.
I will make more of this stuff when i have time.. I need to keep studing, thats whats important

[armetage]

Old stuff ;>
My workspace with loads of my pictures and some fast scuplts of me

[armetage]

The photos sux but you get the idea, a painting and some sketches

[armetage]

One of my images is featured in Exotique 3, again sorry for the bad photos ;>
check out my socks aswell ;>

[ped454]

post 121 and 122 are absolutely INCREDIBLE. Do more of that!! Seriously I came in here expecting mediocre stuff and that just B-L-E-W me away.

The way I see it you're just a little practice away from being 5 stars. Take some time to study perspective...yes perspective...once you are good with taht nothing will stop you.

PLEASE PRACTICE PERSPECTIVE. IT'S EASY TO LEARN

IT WILL BENEFIT YOU GREATLY

PEACE

[armetage]

ped454: thanks alot!
Im practicing both perspective and anatomy as much as I can at the moment, and it really pays off. I´ve finally realized that when I study I should always think about how the things ive just learned can be applied when doing my own stuff. So everytime do a studie i think off what this informations really means and what use I have of it. Knowlage is good, but you need to know how to apply it and use it effectivly

[OBX]

that forest paint at the top of the page kicks ass. Your coming along. Ill see if a 5 star vote will raise that 3 to a 4.

[armetage]

OBX whoaa! thanks alot mate!

[DARAF]

Gorgeous stuff man. The forth and fifth perspective point doesn't need to be used unless you are changing planes (like a highway changing direction) or if there is an object in a scene that is tilted in a different angle then the rest of the objects in the scene( like a room lined up in 2 point and a book in the scene has it's own vanishing point because it does not run parallel to the floors and ceiling) As long as it shares the same horizon it will work. Sometimes there can be a picture frame on the wall in an interior shot, lets say the picture has a house in it. This picture can have it's own perspective points in the scene also. I hope this makes sense and helps a little. Kind of hard to describe in typed words.

Year 2050, after the collapse of the united states.The great nation is at its fall and the only place left for the president to hide is in the house of god, a abandoned church turned into a fort285988

[armetage]

hum why wont it show the image directly here on the site? :/

[Jakers]

neat last image my friend...are you going to polish it up any further? its good you didnt make everything glow and pure metal just because its in the future haha.

The images arent showing directly, i believe they are fixing it.

for now, just edit your post, click on the attachment icon itself, and click on your image. it will for now force it to load right under your text, outside its usual attachment bounding box. Nice job on the mag picture btw, it was definately a great one.

[armetage]

Jakers thanks alot! Its somewhat of a speedpaintings so i wont refine it more.
I cant get your method working, am i supposed to go into manage attachment?

[armetage]

6 hours total i think, much time went to figure out how to do the mountains, i will keep practicing those287215

[Jakers]

Lots of hard work, great!

With the last one, the closest figures forms in the shoulders etc. dont read quite clearly to me. maybe the right shoulder needs to be lower from this perspective...the shadow next to him also struck me as wrong, but good quick one - you've dropped in some window photos to speed up the process?

What process did you end up using for the mountains you've mentioend in this one?
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=287215&d=1201031895

I think in that one you could improve your values a bit, though they aren't bad!! - the people should be darker and more apparent to me, the mountains could be blocking some light and casting a shadow over your monster, which would attract more attention to him. If you want to show more of a confrontation between the characters, you could crop off most of the top and work it a bit more?

The second in post #146 looks like it might be worth putting more time into?

[armetage]

Thanks jakers, lots of good critiques.
The shadow next to him is the mans shadow infron, the man with the suitcase, since its a pretty long shadow, and the big shadow on the left wall is the man with the guns, i know that its not really realistic atm but i was thinking of adding a lightsource behind the character since i want a menecing castshadow on that wall, but its a speedi so i dont think i will put the effort into it

Im featured in the last Dec and Januari Issue of 2Dartistmagazine
In Januari issue i got a making of - syndaren / love and hate this is the keeper + an image in the gallery

PS im Robin Olausson if you look at the artist profile

[armetage]

new one

[Jakers]

Dude your mastering your values. I know i know, i talk about them every time i visit you. Great work in that mag, the whole work in progress postings here must really have helped push the images to the stage they are in?

Neat perspective, lots of interesting things to look at. the colors dont feel quite as harmonized as in some of your other work but i like it

[Doomgriever]

Snyggt! You've got some talent! Nice anathomy, and shading techniques! Unique style i have to admit.

[armetage]

Thanks everyone<3

Some new ones

[Jakers]

Your imagination its huuuge. The one marked work in progress feels needlessly noise in spots as your eye goes right to it....perhaps save this use of texture for areas that you want us to look...definately shouln't be just here and there :) The broken bridge immediately struck my as strange because it doesnt look like it could hold itself up as it is...either a lot more damage and missing sections or pillars would help.

The last character is has attitude for such a simple stance. His hips seem quite narrow, but use your judgement with what your trying for. There seems to be a lot of grey, specially on his body...let that warmer light effect everything and push the mood!
