[DARAF]

can't wait to see some new work.

[Wasker]

starting of with some doodles and speedos,

I did this one before my wacom broke along with the next

1hish I think
http://www.wasker.com/dragon.jpg

1h for this one aswell
http://www.wasker.com/Jungle.jpg

1½h on a broken wacom ^^ (I handed it over to the support an hour later)
http://www.wasker.com/airplane.jpg

I did these today, downloaded barontieris brushes so I had something to work with;

Saw this happy fat man on the net and was just amazed how much character he had, 1h study.
http://www.wasker.com/fatman_study.jpg

A clip of this upcoming movie Perfume inspired me, seems promising. Did this from the mind, 45 min
http://www.wasker.com/city.jpg

I don't know :teeth:
http://www.wasker.com/fire.jpg

Ya, hot chocolate! 1½h

[Wasker]

Ah Daraf ^^ you should've waited 2 minutes for me to post!

[Wasker]

More, saw a movie tonight, awesomely medieval

More studies

[Wake101]

wow awsome sketchbook already. Really nice use of photoshop brushes, superb colors, hehe its all good. I really like that first one. The erie glow in the dino is cool.

Thanks for postin' in my sketchbook, keep up the great work in yours.

[Wasker]

Wow thanks, Wake :)

Unfortunately I've lost all those brushes I did back then when my comp crashed. Some of the brushes used in that picture are taken from some texture I got from Andrew Jones in a issue of ImagineFX. I could recreate most of them by the ones created by 'happy accidents' are hard to do again. :p

I went for a more cartoon style for this one, done for DSG here at ca.org.

Key word: "FANTASTIC SERPENT GUARDS THE PODIUM OF THE GIANT JEWEL"

Dang! Love the enviro´s!
Your colors are really great. Love the atmosphere in most of these paintings!
Wasker from GF?
Rocka på, hursomhelst! Ser fram emot mer!

[Dile_]

Hey wasker, Thanks for the comment :D

I like this one
http://www.wasker.com/city.jpg
And this one (vyle inspired ?) a lot :D
http://www.wasker.com/ship.jpg
Kör på! Ser grymt bra ut :)

~Dile

[Wasker]

Flaskpost: Tack :) Yup from GF, but I mostly hang at conceptart and cg nowadays. Maybe Sijun aswell after a few skill level ups. :nohope:

Dile: tack tack :D Yup, inspired by David Levy, Barontieri, Sparth and some movies I've seen. I got David's dvd from gnomon aswell. Very intresting to hear his opinion and techniques.


And here's some anatomy studies from Loomis but mostly Bridgman

Shiet man, redig utveckling sen jag såg dina grejor på GF isf! :)
Kör hårt med Bridgman-studierna! Jag skall göra samma!
Försök att kanske slänga in någon detaljerad karaktär i någon av dina feta miljöer, skulle bli finemang säkerligen!
GO GO! :)

[Nerahla]

Wasker! glad to see you here -- looking great with the studies so far, keep it up - you have such a great imagination :)

[Wasker]

Thank you Runecaster :)

Flaskpost: :bashful:


Tried some new brushes and some old,

[mondegreen]

Your watery forest environment ... I love it... I want to eat it :P

Yum
~Ben

[-sideshowbob-]

your digitals are quite an inspiration :)

[Chermilla]

Environments seem to be your strength, lovely stuff! Nice atmosphere and use of textures. :)

[Olof]

Lite varierande kvalité på dina digitals. Tycker att http://www.wasker.com/ship.jpg
var riktigt nice dock. Pro kvalité ju :)

Kanske beror på ditt wacom problem, eller att katten e farlig? ;)

.peace

[Wasker]

ben: haha thanks mate

sideshowbob: thanks, doing my best

Chermilla: Yeah I feel more comfortable with enviroments since there are few rules (to me atleast) to follow when it comes to proportion (who can tell if a tree branch is sligthely off anyway :^^: ). Studying some anatomy though, hoping that it will bring characters alive.:evilmustache:

MorteM: Ja, vissa blir sämre än andra :) Tack tack.



More studies, Bridgman and a Da Vinci, I printed a ton of Da vincis today so I'll have some serious studying to do the upcoming days. Cheers

http://www.wasker.com/chesteyeman_study.jpg

[Hazart]

Cool sketches. I like the way you use colors.

[Wasker]

Hazart: Thank you :) we are of different opinions there. I don't like the way I use colors. Not yet anyhow, need to learn alot :(

here's a brushtesting image, 1½h, some brushes are m@s btw so I can't take credit for all the brush work.
Edit1: I probably should credit Andrew Jones for the texture aswell.
Edit2: The gradients with circles in was originally invented by David Levy aka Vyle

http://www.wasker.com/strangemachine.jpg

[hurricane]

nice stuff!
Last one is cool! I can defenatly see the vyle and android influences.

cheers and fortsätt att jobba på!

[KuNiva]

Very nice, like hurricane said you can definetely see the influences in the design. Great sketchbook, keep posting man!

[JoeEffect]

hey.i like your digital images,figure studies too.

[Wasker]

Hurricane : Thanks man :) Glad you like it

KuNiva : :D

JoeEffect : Thank you :)

Here's another two brush test images. 45 min and 1½h I messed the last one up bad.

http://www.wasker.com/man.jpg

http://www.wasker.com/orientalwarrior_2.jpg

[Wake101]

The bridgeman studies look really good. As do the digitals as always.

My favorite one has to be the second to last pic you posted. The color choice is really cool on that one. The gradiation from the warm yellows to the dark purples is very nice.

[Darktwin]

Your digitals are really progressing, wonderful bridgeman studies!! Keep up the working hard sir. Its really paying off. Keep doing what your doing!! Thanks for stopping in my book. Your off to a really great start. Keep it up! :)

[Wasker]

Wake: Hehe thank you :) I think it turned out pretty pleasing to look at
Darktwin: Thanks Darktwin ! :}

More studies, Leonardo this time.

http://www.wasker.com/man_study3.jpg

[undergroundsean]

good stuff man !!

[darkchild]

Hey thanks for the visit in my SB. Thought I'd come over and see what you're all about. Wow! What can I say? Your WACOM work is amazing. I don't have this kind of skill. This one really lept out at me: http://www.wasker.com/strangemachine.jpg

Love that fantasy/scifi feel to it. Looks like a nice enviro to a game or something. Definitely keep the awesome work up:)

[Wasker]

Undergroundsean: Glad you like it!

Darkchild. Hehe, really? :tihi:Thanks :)

some bridgman today

http://www.wasker.com/manandwoman_study2.jpg

http://www.wasker.com/manwomanandlight_study.jpg

[designboot]

Very nice works

[dan liimatta]

I bow to Bridgman, and I like your studies of him - (I've been a sad little boy and skipped my lessons myself); besides that my favourites might be the graviton DSG you did the other day, the dragon and gladiator ~ and have fun with those brushes, I know I have :D

[Bendragon]

Digital work is good, you seem comfortable with them. You just need to get more drawings under your belt and bridgeman studies will help loads!

[Wasker]

Designboot :Thanks mate!

Dan liimatta: hehe, I'm blushing now. Yeah I agree, having fun is main priority! :)

Bendragon: Thanks, working on it!

Here's today's speedies. I had a ref for the first image but I'm worthless at following refs. Besides photography is almost always is less brilliant than reality, :^^:
They're between 30 min and 1½h each

http://www.wasker.com/speedos.jpg

[Wasker]

Some wips of the thunderdome image.. hmm not totally satisfied with this composition. Any constructive critique is encouraged :>

http://www.wasker.com/TD_1.jpg

http://www.wasker.com/TD_2.jpg and all the little fellas go Weee!!

[TheGnoll]

hey!
very cool updates, i wish my digitals were thi good.Anatomy is improving quickly too!
keep 'em coming, every thing is looking very good ;)

ciao

[Blaz]

Some very interesting digital works here!
Studies are going nicely too!

Can i ask you in which program do you draw?
And is there some kind of addon or program for custom brushes or you get one only with wacom? ..couse i have genius tablet and still learning!

[Wasker]

Thegnoll: thanks mate

Blaz: I use photoshop cs2 and the custom brushes I use are 'hand crafted' in photoshop aswell. Some of them are downloaded, I got some of Barontieri's and M@'s old brushes in my library but most of them are made by me. and thanks for the comment :)


here's a thunderdome pic of the norse god Tor, in action.

http://www.wasker.com/wasker_godofwar_tor.jpg

[themissinglink]

WOW! I love your digital paintings, the sense of mood and drama in them are really amazing.

[BryanYoung]

Great speedies. They have a nice sense of color and atmosphere. Environments are a weak point for me. I'll just have to keep practicing. Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook.

[mull77]

Hey man, nice job on the Thunderdome! Love your other stuff as well. Great atmopheres, especially on stuff like the statue of liberty one and the landed ship with the honour guard.

[Dreamworker]

Very good stuff! You have a very particular style and I like it. From the last painting I love in particular this one http://www.wasker.com/speedos.jpg
Keep sharing, cheers :)

[dan liimatta]

Some really nice updates Wasker - I especially like the ruins 3rd from the top in your previous update.

I really like the mood & colours you are producing, and the renders seems to have improved steadily - so the future can only get better, no?

& Nice to see people brushes in action, they are so edible it's crazy :&

Anyways thanks for stopping by, as for your question, and I'll probably answer it with my next update - I use pencils as well, but less so then I used to (I'll try to remember to scan some of them to tomorrow)

[mentler]

5 bones Bridgman is the dude

[softocean]

nice balance of detail in your paintings -very cool stuff :) The one with the ship reminds me of a scene of the emperor arriving in one of the star wars series.

My sketchbook is here (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=71080)

[Wake101]

man I wish I could do something half as good as those in 30min-1.5 hours. That is really cool. As I've said before, great color selection and setting. You rock man!

[Wasker]

Wake101: thanks Wake, start hanging out in the speed painting threads to speed up your work rate :D

Softocean: Hehe, star wars rocks :wink:

Mentler: Aah, cool to get a reply from you :) I dig your anatomy work mr mentler. Bridgman is good and you learn alot by copying his timeless pictures.

Dan liimatta: thanks Dan, yeah, that one came out pretty well. M@'s old brushes are really powerful and fun to work with. The ones I do myself are usually paletteknives or sargent brushes or complex brushes used for stamping. :)
My personal belief is that maximun progress comes from varying your use of art and mediums. So by all means use pencils ^^ Thanks for stopping by

Dreamworker: Thanks dreamworker. I had fun doing those and that's what counts!

mull77 : Glad you like it mull :)

BryanYoung: Thank you, don't worry you'll get there. Keep drawing!

[Wasker]

Thanks Sirio and VadiQ :D

Here's some new studies for y'all! Da vinci demon kids (seriously those kids freak me out) and legs and then some Bridgman stuff. Features are abit off :eyeloss: but I guess that's what pratice is all about :/ .. unless any1 got a magic tip that will fix it/make it easier for me.. no? :bashful:

[Bojee]

The studies will pay off. I really like how you handle the enviros. Keep them coming. ;)

[Wasker]

Thanks a bunch Bojee :)

Here's more studies from this evening, my scanner is acting abit wierd it doesn't scan as much as it says it should in the manual, crops my pictures, that's why bits of this and that are gone on my sketches ... at the edges :P

http://www.wasker.com/noseandear_study.jpg

http://www.wasker.com/noseandtorso_study.jpg

[dan liimatta]

the Bridgman studies are looking really good ~ as I'm going to make some Bridgman hands just about now I do feel some penis envy.

:heart:

[Dreamworker]

Very good anatomic studies, great work!
Keep sharing, ciao

[Wasker]

Haha, Dan :^^:

Thanks Dreamworker :) Glad you like 'em!

more studies! I'm out of pens now..

Edit1: muaha, behold my horrible hand writing!

[dan liimatta]

I bloody hate ribs :(

Good going, and keep it up.

07

[Wasker]

Hehe, yeah Dan, them ribs are annoying, gotta fit all in there :/

Anyways, here's two character speedos which I developed abit. Any cc on anatomy and wether this would/could be valid concept art is appreciated.

Doesn't it look like the first guy is about to fall backwards? Hmm.. those horns must weigh more than I expected.

[4rt-r41d]

DUDE!
this is great! i lvoe it all, just keep doing what you are doing, i see progress !!

[Nerahla]

just wanted to pop in and offer my support and applause -- such great strides you make :) It's inspirational! :)

[Wasker]

Wakazou: :D thanks, dude, progress is my aim

Runecaster: thanks for the support, Runecaster! :} You've seen most of my work so you if anyone should know!

Another speedie today. About 1½h spent on it, I messed it up abit with colours and contrasts :x

Dragonship

http://www.wasker.com/dragonship.jpg

Edit1: Wee! Page 2 :party:

[Dreamworker]

Very nice, I like the atmosphere of this speedy painting!
Ciao

[dan liimatta]

really good stuff Wasker, though the armour on the previous update feels somewhat light, and I might have wanted some more red in those shadows on the last piece (given the red sky) - but oh well, I'm mostly picking! :teeth:

[Jason Snair]

hey man. thanks for the comment in my sb...had to take a gander at what you were up to.

I like your environments a lot. Especially that army, going up the mountain with the lightening. Killer!

And your anatomy drawings are impressive too. Keep it up man.

j.

[Brendan N]

Yo Wasker! Thanks for stopping by my book - much appreciated.

Things are really shaping up in here man. This last one reminds me strongly of hurri's stuff. One crit I have is that it seems to have lost form for the sake of pretty patterns and brushwork, explain the forms a bit more clear especially in the center of the design. good studies too nice and thorough!

thanks for stopping by my book and rating it, I've returned the favour :)
ciao!

- d.

[DanielC]

Alo !
Cool sketchbook you got monsieur.
I like the abstract designs in the last one.
Good stuff, keep working !

[hurricane]

http://www.wasker.com/goblin.jpg
great light but the pose is odd..he's not planted on the ground with eright, kinda just touches ground you know...like helium baloon

studies are looking great!

keep on working and remember to have fun!

[Darktwin]

Like I said before, your really progressing man. Your digitals are more defined than before. And those Bridgeman studies are rocking!! Studies to digi paints is a great combo, its really showing through in your work. i would say your understanding of perspective and atmospheric perspective is really improving. Keep working hard. :)

[Ashrumm]

Hey thanks for checking out my sketchbook!! I see lots of progress here your digi's are really improving one thing to note though. I would take a bit more time with the master copys and the master studies (bridgeman). One thing that bridgeman possesses that you have lost in his studies is rythm your drawings bridgeman sketches look flat and forced really study how he balances his figure through the natural rythms of the human form.

[brunopicinini]

awe-inspiring dude!
i hope that i can be able to be as good as you with my wacom tablet hehe

cheers

[Slav]

really nice anatomy studies

i always tell myself to do them. but i never seem to get around to it. or at least scan em in. :)

cheers.

[enthombed]

You have a lot of good stuff bro.

post more

Cheers

[newman]

wooo...
like all your stuff, but that last one in particular is really atmospheric.

[mentler]

Beautiful thread <> Great GB studies <> as you probably know I have spend some time with George myself.

Thanks for dropping by my thread and feeding the monkey.

Already dropped 5 stars on your thread... admire the effort put forth her.

[Call0ps]

great paiting, love the atmosphere and the wiked design of the ship! nice choice of colours also. keep it up

[ChillPill]

those enviroments are awesome, the atmosphere, the design, it all rocks.

keep sharing.

[catface]

Hey dude cool stuff. really nice pencil studies, just what you need to do. Environment paintings are also nice, good atmosphere and colors.

keep practicing:).

[ProgDraws]

nice!

great anatomy studies, keep it up!

[Wasker]

Dreamworker: Hey, thanks :)

Dan liimatta: Yeah, you're right o_O thanks for the feedback, I'll apply a red or purple wash to it to deepen the shadows.

Jason Snair: Hey, no problems mate, I regularly (spelling?) check out your nice sb for updates, thanks for the comment!

Brendan N: It does? :) wow, that's a really really good compliment for me, Björn is such an amazing artist, and thanks for stars!

DanielC: Thanks Daniel, glad you like it.

Hurricane: It kinda looks like he's very light, doesn't it? I'm not quite sure how to solve this though. Would re-arranging the feet and darken the shadows where they touch the grounds help, you think?

Darktwin: Thank you Dark :P

Ashrumm: Oh, too bad I didn't read this comment before I posted the next batch. Oh well there will be more studies, rest assured. You're suggesting more fluid movements with the pencil? I've been noticing that I after a while starts to pay more attention to copying the line than the whole picture, I believe this could be one of the reasons it feel forced. Thanks for pointing it out though, I could've gone on for years if no is telling me what I need to improve. :hatsoff:

Brunopicinini: Oh thank you

Slav: hehe, come on, there's always time for anatomy studies!

Enthombed: Wish granted, and thanks.

Newman: Thanks, I hope the atmosphere is a good thing? :)

Mentler: Yeah, I drool at your pics atleast once a week, Mentler so I'm well aware of your Bridgman studies :^^: When I've done Bridgman's books once I might do some Mentler studies as well. thanks for stars :=

Call0ps: Thanks mate.

ChillPill: Thank you

KanoaRogers: Yup, pencil studies are great for me, I've not had this much fun in years. Soon I'll start posting some oil and goache pictures too.

ProgDraws: Thanks! :D

[Moai]

Those are some damn sexy anatomy studies! What sources did you get them from?
Your digital paints are also pretty cool. My favorite images are the first one of the sketchook, that Sparthy one with the bright red spaceship, and the recent one of the creature with two tails. There's some really nice atmosphere in that one, though the pose and anatomy of the creature aren't working as well as they could.
I get a 404 error when I try to download your textures.
Great studies and paintings! I'll be visiting this sketchbook again!

[Dile_]

Mikecorriero brushes ?? WHERE ? :P

Damn and fuck, this sketchbook going way to fast in the right direction! you making me damn jealous with your progress..! haha ok, its inspiring! :D
I saved those textures, thanks for sharing!

Very nice stuff lately! TWO BIG THUMBS UP!

~Dile

[Wasker]

Hey, Moai: thanks for the support, all the anatomy studies I posted just now are from George Bridgman's complete guide to drawing from life and I really really recommend every artist out there to get this book if you're intrested in anatomy. The textures should be downloadable now, I accidently typed a little 't' in the url instead of a capital. -_- that's computers for me. Anyway it should be working now.
Yeah, the anatomy is somewhat disturbed in the picture with two tails, I did its under arms extra long (had my cat as ref for proportions on upper limbs, but he's kinda fat so you'll never know where one bone begins and another ends). I wanted a creature who you can tell just by looking at it, that it is a stealthy one.

Dile: Hey mate! Thanks for stopping by :) I think I got the brushes from his exclusive sb or something. I can say that there are some good brushes and some bad (it's a bit 50/50, but on the other hand I'm not used to the brush settings he prefer). You might want to download the textures from the .rar I uploaded, the link is working now and they're approx 4-6 times larger than the miniatures I uploaded here. Cheers!

[Andy P]

Wow, very cool stuff here, your digi paints are awesome. So many of them ahve a great sense of scale, like the Thor TD. Great textures and atmosphere, once you're just a tad more comfortable with the anatomy this stuff is gonna explode. Great Curse of The Golden Flower quickie!

[Moai]

Well that does it. I'm gonna have to go get a Bridgman now.:wink:

[undergroundsean]

wow~~more great works
the anatomy studies is really good .
thanks for stopping by my sb .

[hurricane]

good updates!
i like the lava swimmer a lot!

cheers!

[Coinpurse]

Ditto, digging both the lava swimmer and the creep below it. Nice studies, keep going!

[TheGnoll]

hey man i really admire the effort you put in studies, anatomy and color and even technique studies really look good and show you really push yourself...and that, is goooooood ;)

keep up the good work man, here are some stars to keep ya going ;)

ciao

[Notorious K.A.B.]

:spam: Shit,thanks for posting in my book Wask,appreciate it.That lava/turtle/thing(?) is 8) 8) 8) !

[Solon]

Really impressive works. I love the digitals and Bridgeman's...did a lot of thoses too. Get your hands on the Bammes book...its in german but the plates are amazing if your like do do anatomical.

[Izu]

Yo, don't know if you remember me but it's Izuael from WoT here.
You got some nice stuff here, glad you've been active. :)
Nice use of colors.

Drop a line will ya? :canadian:

Ha det bra, jobba på!

[adraude]

hahaha, you study like a mad man. i am blown away. if you keep this pace you'll skyrocket man. i like your color-stuff, it's good!

[matejkovacic]

Great sketchbook! You're really good with your
enviros and colors. Nice anatomy studies. Keep up the good work!

[Call0ps]

wooo... beautifull stuff, so many studies and those speedies looks aswome it blowed my head, the colours and light bah 5* ;) plz keep sharing

[Chromosome]

Wicked stuff you've got here! You're enviro's are awesome and the anatomy studies are top notch. Gotta love Bridgman.

[InFlame]

Hey Wasker! First: Thank you for stopping by my book!! Made me happy!

Now to your book: I love your anatomy studies, really great work. And the environments are great too.
Espacially the lava swimmer is my favorite one!
Wanna see more of your awesome work!

[Envisor]

Great sketchbook and awesome studies. Cant wait to see more.

[Sway West]

You've got some really nice studies and colored work here! Your environments have a very soft, subtly about them- definitely not a bad thing, though I'd love to see you push the contrast a bit more. Same with your recent pencil life drawing studies. Keep up the awesome work, duder! :D

Hey hey - the anatomy studies are looking extra sweet!

http://www.wasker.com/mars/study_2.jpg - i like this one, very nice forms, but the hands are too small! work on the hands! they re a prob for me too :P

The digis are looking very sweet, you have a nice sense of colour!

Cool stuff!

cheers!

[Kan Muftić]

Cool stuff, you're not as lazy as me:)
Love the lava-swimmer.
Best,

[Rick-K]

Enviros are sweet man. Keep it up.

[Bard]

Very Wicked Bridgeman studies!!!

And I like that you made a brush for massing people...
I have to do that!

Thanks for dropping by my thread!

[JERI]

Very tight studies and strong color works.

Sketchbook rated. Will be keeping an eye out for more of your updates.

[Clocks]

I remember when you beat me bad with that Thor TD piece haha. Some really nice digital paintings and studies, you got a lot of patience with those anatomy books!

Favorites are probably the Lava Swimmer and that speed paint from Curse of the Golden Flower. Keep it up man, you're doing great!

[grundybug]

sweet stuff..thanks for the comment in my sb

[JL.Alfaro]

Man I love your enviros, they zre just awesome bro! you got a lot of depth and atmosphere- wish I could do that

-JL

This is great man:

cheers

[Smoke]

Very impressive speedies, I`m envious :D

[Sonaj]

Very nice Bridgman studies :wink: and they are getting better each time; do you get something out of writing the text? i just read, guess i'm too lazy eh?

Like your digis too, nice speedies, great sketchbook

keep sharing

[Smoke]

The dedication is inspiring, would love to see more.

[JL.Alfaro]

popping back in here -
wow man your studies put me to shame...jeez
great freakin work!!

-JL

[Darktwin]

Great book Wasker!, keep up the studies,
crit: in a few of your figures the heads are a tad bit small. I make this mistake all the time, I tend to draw the head first and get carried away with the rest of the figure and find myself going back to the head to increase the size. Keep working hard, very inpiring work.

[Hurley]

I saw your work in the speed painting thread, and decided to pop in for a look :) Great work! Your SP's are very impressive, and your anatomy studies are coming along well.

Keep up the good work!

[Wasker]

Thanks everyone for your replies. It’s been a few busy months in my life, spent freelancing here and there.


AndyP: hehe thank you :D

Moai: Right on, Bridgman is very fun to study. His studies are simple yet very accurate.

UndergroundSean: Hey, np. Thanks for stopping by mine ;)

Hurri: Thanks Björn.

Boom!: Cool :) glad you like em.

TheGnoll: Yeah, I hope it will pay off in the future. Thanks for heads up!
Notorious K.A.B: hehe, many people seem to like it. Thanks : )

Solon: O hey Solon, glad you stopped by. I’ll look up Bammes’ book. Right now I’m looking for some Bargue plates. But that darn book is soooo expensive.

Izu: Oh wow :o a WOT-er here? :D hey Izuael, long time no seen. Ofcourse I remember the fellas on the first graphic forum (fan art lol) I visited. Hehe.

Adraude: Always looking for progression. Thanks

Matejkovacic: Glad you like the stuff in here. Thanks

Call0ps: Thanks for stars man :) I’ll keep posting.

Chromosome: Yeah, Bridgman’s the man. Thanks for stopping by :)

Inflame: Glad to make you happy. I’ll keep postin’

Envisor: Thank you!

Sway West: Yeah, I know what you mean. The reason (I believe) my enviros are a bit fuzzy are because I keep the canvas zoomed out all the time. For some reason. Thanks for stopping by and giving me a pointer. I need those.

Fooxoo: Teheee, ye, most studies I do have deformed hand or too small heads, I’ve noticed. Not sure why. I think it might be because I pay too much attention to single parts when I should see the body as a whole. Thanks for crits and sup, fooxoo :)

Chupacabra: hehe, thanks

Rick-k: Oh thanks mate

Bard: I make a lot of brushes for different tasks, it’s very useful. Thanks for stopping by.

Jeri: Thanks Jeri, glad you like my studies and stuff and for stars!

Clocks: Thanks Clocks :) Patience’s the key you know!

Grundybug: Np, and thank you for yours ;)

JLAlfaro: Cool! Thanks for the love

Designboot: Oh hey designboot, sorry for letting the Albesila team down (somewhat). Saying that I’ve been busy is clearly an understatement.

Smokey186: Don’t be. Practice!

Sonaj: Thanks, Sonaj. I do the texts as well to remember it better. I’m not sure it’s that important. The drawings are what counts in my opinion.

JLAlfaro: Haha, Thanks mate.

Darktwin: Thanks Darktwin. Yeah, I struggle with that a lot in lifedrawing. I start out with a ellipse for the head and then focus on the body without paying attention to the head. Just as I said to Fooxoo, I believe I also need to see the body as a whole form rather than just a lot of smaller forms.

Hurley: Thanks hurley :)

[Wasker]

Alright starting out with a concept for a shopping bag for ACNE jeans (refused though) and it ended up as an add in a magazine which was a collab between a brother in graphic design and me. The text says 'this is not an add' and the shopping bags 'style for sale'. The style aimed for was that of barbara krueger with slightely provoking messages in white on red labels.

here's a doodle I did when waiting for my lifedrawing classes to begin. Her arms are indeed strong!

a few crude Kchen studies. I'm a bit curious about some of mr Chens studies. The guy bending backwards to the middle left, is that the ribcage sprouting out? It looks far too exaggerated.

http://www.wasker.com/ca/kchen.jpg

and some life :D I might add that all of these are between 1 and 10 minutes. Most of them are beteween 3 and 5.

Here's some printed graphic design. I'm not a wild about any of them anymore but what the heck.. it's work

Did this with ~10 graduating graphic designers. Their pitch was 'make it look like a fashion magazine'. pagecount (excluding cover) 102.

http://www.wasker.com/ca/mvd.jpg

and a book done for Malmö museums, pagecount (excluding cover) 74. I'm telling you, these take time to do. I combined some graphical elements, such as ornaments and illustrations with the text and pictures.

here's the cover and backside. The flower on the back wasn't my idea. :)

http://www.wasker.com/ca/cover.jpg

and some samples from within

http://www.wasker.com/ca/page1.jpg

The ornament ends up more to the blackness of the picture since ~6 mm (no idea how much that is in inches) disappears when you glue and fold the book. The pictures were taken by Johanna Rylander.
http://www.wasker.com/ca/page2.jpg

http://www.wasker.com/ca/page3.jpg

This one was great fun but the colours turned out to be a bit dull. It's a promotional poster and t-shirts (for sale) for a deaf disco/club. Deaf people obviously have clubs too but with REALLY REALLY loud music and bass turned out so you literally feel the beat. The hands says "I" and "want/want to/desire" and the last one hardly needs explanation.

http://www.wasker.com/ca/iwtr.gif

and some invitation cards for another club for. It turned out it was not the real fugitives that played but some underground band with the same name. :p Oh well..

http://www.wasker.com/ca/fugitives.gif

and a cover for a single

http://www.wasker.com/ca/cover.gif

and a poster for yet another club. Looking back I would've picked another font. But there were some economical limits there so I ended up with this free font. Still, it looks pretty impressive when massed 5x5 posters.

I had fun doing these maffias and maffia chicks that I found in a magazine.

yup, he got a lazy eye
http://www.wasker.com/ca/maffia1.jpg

Maffia chicks. I didn't bother drawing the headdresses for the two on the left. Their hair looks a bit odd as a result. (I blame that anyway :p )

Thanks for sup Blackshe! :)

hey man, cool stuff as usual man!

i esp like the digitals...much respect for all those studies, they are paying off ;)

damn you improve fast :D

keep sharing man, keep sharinG!

ciao

[razz]

Oh goodie, found you thread here. Great stuff you're doing. All these studies... Bridgman is awesome! I'm sure they help you a lot already.
Your imaginational work is amazing, those speedies are truly very nice looking! I've seen some of them before and was happy to see the new ones. Keep it up!

[Wasker]

the gnoll: Thanks mate :) I hope I'll get good some day.

hey Razz! yeah I moved my cg-talk sb to conceptart.org :D Thanks for the kind words!

Keep up the awesome work! :teeth:

(Somehow, these last pics weren't what I was expecting when I saw "..with skulls! And girls!" :wink: lolz)

[Izu]

Hello again, that was a big load of stuff right there. Cool indeed.
I especially like the anatomical studies, I'm doing some of that myself.
Been doing ecorche since middle of june, got some progress shots in my thread.

And I bet you'll get your five stars soon, myself got zero, zipp and null. :yayca:

[Rich Pellegrino]

thanks for stopping by my SB. I like your digital work more so than your traditional. I would keep doing what your doing (studies while experimenting in PS). cheers!

[undergroundsean]

wow dude !! your work is getting better and better !! keep drawing ~~

[P E N Ricklund]

Hi Wasker. Damn nice pregress you've got here. Nice redering and studies.
You'll get a job a Dice within ten years I say :)
Very nice digitals.

http://www.wasker.com/cow_silvertooth.jpg This one and the house underneath is my favorites, nice brushwork on both of them.

Cheers!

[krakel]

hey. thanks for your comment.
its interesting to see the really big difference between your digitals and reallife media. I like your designs.. you should keep up the persistent figurative studies they show improvement.

[Wasker]

thanks guys and gals

AmontilladoAg: hehe, thanks dude.

Izu: hey izu, I checked your thread that model of the torso is dynamite! very neat stuff mate.

voodoochile: I've been doing more digitals than analogs actually so i'm not surprised you like them more. :D thanks for the crit.

undergroundsean: Cool :)

Pencilator: hej hå! Thanks for dropping a line. I like rough brushwork but I regret that I don't spend more time than I do on my stuff. :/

krakel: yup I will. np for comments, I drop comments for those that keep doing their thing and evolve. :)

Great stuff wasker. I like the graphyic arts. The sheep are great. I can't see the updates though. Rock on.

[FactorZero]

great work. keep on chuggin. i want to see more finished stuff.

[Tom Garden]

Brilliant concepts and laying out of colour - well done on thhe extensive anatomy work!

[Evxyza92]

There really is a nice touch to all the digitals , though I much prefer your pencils, they are done very well.

[LauraD]

I agree. Your digitals are great, but your sketches have such a good... I don't know, they seem more natural. I'm the same way. My paper sketches look much looser than my digitals :)

Great though! Great anatomy.

[Wasker]

Daraf: Hey daraf, thanks. Hmm, that's wierd. I tried checking my SB at my friends house, the images displayed properly there.

Factor Zero: Thanks, so do I.

Tom: Hey, Tom thanks for stopping by my sb and for the compliments

Evxyza92: Cool, first person I hear that from, big thanks to you. My digitals must be getting crappier or my pencils better 8)


LauraD: Thanks

Acrylics (and some oils) abstract on large mdf. My palette is now pretty greased up with thick layers of acrylic paint. Cons and pros I guess, easier to clearn when you use oils but less time waiting for the paint to dry.

[Chermilla]

Wow beautiful updates since I last visited, those pencil figures are awsome...keep up the great work!! :)

[Wasker]

Thanks Chermilla.



I've done a new SB by the way filled with cheap cardboardish paper.
Pros are that you can paint with acrylics oils and markers on it without any major bleeds.
Cons are that graphite falls off easily, which is a bad thing.
and perhaps that it's too big to fit in my scanner :( 30x34 cm

hey i like your drawings from life...
and the last one with the black watercolors is great too!

keep at it

[Wasker]

Amontilladoag: Thanks mate! One of my personal favorites from life too. :)

Haxxxor : cool, glad you like it. it's actually thinned out black acrylics. I seldom seem to use black so I thought I might aswell dab some on the sketches. Thanks.

Now faces are one of greatest obstacles when drawing from life, some of these are real turds, well actually all of them :) I like the girl in the middle though, and the bird bot.

all done from imagination except the girl in the extreme top, which was nicked from a photo from ambrel.com

Isn't that your tongue? :P nice texture ^^

[razz]

Hi Wasker!

Nice life drawings. It's really awesome you're attending a life drawing class. It must help you a lot. But still, I like the digital ones more. Not comparing them, just saying what attracts my eye more. Great stuff!

[Wasker]

Zweidee: Heheh, thanks for the support.

Zerocoolz: Almost got it :)

Razz: Yo Razz, yeahm I prefer my digitals too. comes easier to me when I can draw block upon block of paint without having to worry about screwing up (as I have to when I draw). Still, it's great fun drawing :D


shitty and respectless bump of my own thread >:|

Grym studie, fågelvingen! Riktigt bra jobbat! Mer studier i blyerts! :)

Coola grejer du har för dig! Får man fråga vad du har gått/går för utbildning/skola etc?

Well I don't know what part of your body that texture is but.... you might have a doctor look at it... :teeth:

You have some really nice work here. The digital work is quite nice, the last few environments especially. You've definitely been improving since the first page. I'll stop in again when I can offer something a bit more constructive.

Till then cheers.

Dandillion: No education for me! :geekg:

Damnit, I usually go through my bookmarked sketchbooks alphabetically and haven't looked into this on for months. Woot, the second one in your latest post is marvelous, such a cool contrast. I'm envious, really :} Keep up the great work!

[Flaskpost]

Muleskine´s for the win!
Mucho nice lines in the life drawings. Looking good!

[Wasker]

Hehe, thanks a bunch Jabo :D
Muleskin is teh win, flask!

More to come

[ikuru]

nice post bud! keep posting stellar stuff

[joaKimArt]

Great sketches! And the figures look good.

What kind of book is that you make the doodles in? Looks like a normal reading book but with white pages. Are they expansive? And are they good to draw in? And also where did you buy it?

Keep on updating!

[Wasker]

Yo thanks Ikuru :D We should lunch sometime soon, the weather is Grrreeaat!

The book I use is a moleskine Joakim :) thanks. I bought mine at Matton, a shop in Malmö, I think you can find Matton in Gothenburg and Sthlm too. I have seen bookstores such as Akademibokhandeln sell them too. They're not that expensive, like 100 kronor for 3x a4 books. Only downside in my opinion is that the paper is too transparent.
Cheers!

[Flaskpost]

Ser bra ut, Wasker! Fina mole´s!
Jag tror du fått tag på en "plain notebook", eller vad dom heter.
Finns en moleskine med tjockare papper också, för teckning. Kolla om dom säljer sånna med. :yum:

[Jabo]

Keep posting, please :D So much meticulousness in your sketchbook, and then those rough paintings. Great combination. Moa of siz, gives it to uz!

[Wasker]

Flask; Oj, trodde bara det fanns rutade, linjerade och plain. Mina copic-markers äter sig rakt igenom moleskines sidor som det är nu. Får leta lite hårdare nästa gång :) Tacka tackar

jabo; Coming rite up!

[Wasker]

yeah so I spent another hour on this image

[Wasker]

Some more stuff

[~Faust~]

You're definately one of the killers around here. The last one in particular is tasty. Such vibrant colors!

[Flaskpost]

Jevlar vad du utvecklats den senaste tiden! Inspirerande att se! *****

[Wasker]

Faust: Really? I beg to differ :) but thanks :drinkup:

Flask: Tack som fan :D

the last one is done with them oils.

[johanflod]

sjukt snygga grejjer.

really cool stuff.

[ALH]

i was about to complain about the lack of colossal rodents and aviation in this thread, but lo and behold, it actually delivers!

[~Faust~]

Giant bulbasaur rat FTW!

[Wasker]

Johan: Thank you :^^:
ALH: You bet your ass it does, lol
Faust: Damn rite.

[zweiDee]

nice nice mr. wasker. great rendering on the vehicle.

[Sorknes]

Wow, you're one of those guys that goes miles ahead of everybody else improving. :)

Like the strong and simple lines in your lifedrawings that still manage to get out the pose well. :) And the vehicle is extremely nice. :)

Skitbra!

[Flaskpost]

Very nice model drawings, mate!

[Candras]

I really like that portrait, has a very calm relaxing feel

thumbs up

[Wasker]

Zwei: Thanks man, i used a basic block from sketchup to get values and stuff right, rest was mostly coloring and other stuff.
Sorkness: Tack så mycket >:D
Flaskpost: Thanks flask. I should really do some longer poses and stuff but the guy that's timing the poses at the open lifedrawing courses is such a gesture nazi; max 5 min :D
Candras: Thanks, glad you like it.

Here's some stuff. I've been doing some stuff for DEEP aswell. I'll post some of that shit up soon someday.


Fineliner and calli-pen;

[DanielC]

hey you ! stop now !

lol good stuff going on man, keep it coming !

[Wasker]

DanielC: haha Dan, thanks man. I wont stop till I drop

Here's some acrylic stuff I did before work this morning (like 5 in the morning :rocker: )

[Wasker]

yeah... about that.

[Wasker]

and so I said; "clearly it's vermillion"
and she replied; "You think? I'd say it's more of a reddish brown."

[Flaskpost]

hahah, i hear ya about the gesture nazi´s! same at my school!
i heard from Vilppu the man that gesture is the most important thing tho. =)

LOVE your colors. http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=384032&stc=1&d=1212571374 these are megafetsnygga!

[mysteryofalbesila]

cool sketchbook

[ZeroCoolz]

Well well well Wasker, you seem to be on a killing spree again :) awesome work as usuall :yum:

[Wasker]

Flaskpost: Hehe, annoying aren't they? I mean, sure, doing gestures and fast stuff is super fun but once in a while I'd like to have a longer pose. Thanks! They were really easy to do, I just put down some masking tape and when crazy in the park.
Mystery: Hey thanks, how's the movie coming along?
Zerocoolzz: rofl, :D thanks mate

[Wasker]

Whahawewo!
Some imaginary acrylic landscape and pencils I did yesterday and imaginary trees

[JSpayde]

Diggin' those trees :) Awesome detail with the shooting man's face and you've got some nice machine concepts. More, more! :)

[Wasker]

Thanks Jspade!:hugsmile:

[Flaskpost]

faaan vad du ligger i! ruggigt heta enviro´s!

[Wasker]

Thanks Flask, they're hot because there's lava in them! :D

Some more character thumbs and ship sillhoes

[Wasker]

On the train, a pretty comfy ride

[King Kobra]

alot if nice stuff here
keep it up

[HunterKiller_]

Hey dude.

I loved your DEEP entries, especially for COW. Very nice.

Massive improvements, no doubt. You're hitting the colours hard.

If I had to critique something, I would say strive for more form and volume in your drawings.

Peace out.

[sketcheth]

Saw your work via DEEP. Love it all. Really great environment stuff. Quite exquisite. My only critique is that some of your figures and faces seem to lack structure on occasion...just kind mishmash. Like HunterKiller said, form and volume. Keep it up you've got some fine trees in here! And I'll be seeing more of them in the future. *bookmarks thread*

[SanXavier]

I like the textures and mood of your landscapes.

[zweiDee]

many cool updates. *210 Samurai have a wonderfull dinamic. also very cool enviro's. the acryl stuff you did in the morning are rly nice. I think you must paint more in the early morning.^^

[+O [Pharaoh] O+]

Likin those last two brush tests. Maybe you should come back to them and work em a lil more. Keep the new shit flyin! :D

[+O [Pharaoh] O+]

oh snap, more are loading. whoa, landscapes are llooking sweet. niiice.

[Wasker]

King Kobra: Thanks mate !

Huntah Killah: Thanks for the kind words. You're right about form and volume. There's so much to learn and so little time! :D

Sketcheth: thanks :) yeah I should, and will, pay more attention to the anatomy.

Sanxavier: Thank you

Zweidee: Thank you Zwei, retrospectively I have no idea what I was thinking when I drew it, c'mon a samurai on the bottom of the sea?! :) Yeah, that'll work!

Pharaoh x 2 : Hehe thanks ;D

here's a quicky.

[Wasker]

an oil from imagination, 30 min

[Mattinian]

cool characters man, they`re very unique. You`ve got some nice stuff in the enviroment department too. keep it up

[monotony]

yes got to agree. your environments are awesome totally love the first underwaterscene in post 217 and the grassy hills a few pics below.
do you mind sharing a few of your secrets? did you start with a texture in the first one? great, saved all of them for inspirational purpose.

[Wasker]

Mattinian: Yo thanks mate!

Monotony: hehe, I usueally start out with a few values like the one I have attached below. Then I jump right into it using colours or start making a monochrome image, like the dragon. The first one was just really an overpaint of a rock I saw in the park, normally I don't do overpaints but for image I found such a cool reference that I couldn't resist :)
So I saw this rock and was fascinated by it, I thought; Wow, that stone formation could just aswell be ten miles wide. And so I shot a photo and just slapped some colour on. Here's the photo I used as a base.
http://www..wasker.com/reference_1.jpg



So I did this speedpaint, I'm not sure if it reads well or not. My compositional idea was to have most blocks of value pointing to the darkest area of the image

[kelly x]

I am fascinated -- do you finish out these works or use them for ref? I looked at your site and think you should finish out some of these speeds and beef up your finished work section! Your work is amazing and an inspiration to me-- looks like on the finished piece with the huge forklift you did both - speed and finish, it looks amazing

[Flaskpost]

kickassssss! that thirty minute oil is beautiful. creepy color scheme, fits it well!

[donalfall]

Your work is so tight man, freaking brilliant. The moleskine pages really stand out. Nice.

[Wasker]

KellyX: Hey Kelly, thanks, :)
yeah I use them for a abit of both actually, I do these scribbles all the time, both digitally and in my sketchbook. Later, if I need it, I can have my sketchbook open and try to emulate the 'feeling' of a certain drawing I like. The tree sketches are examples of reference sketching. And yes, I should finish up my sketches I have on my homepage but you know.. once I've gotten an idea down that is readable, if only to myself, I get bored quickly and want to start on some other idea that was spawned in the process.

Flaskpost: haha, tackar och bugar. The oil, was fun and relaxing to do. I had been struggling with painting a flower right for like 3 hours and I hadnt got anywhere near a finished sketch to I just said to myself; fuckit I'm gonna do a speedpainting instead. And so I did.

Donalfall: Thank you, sir!

Here's the dragon from the previous posts, I tried to finish him up but, meh.

[dtran]

I got nothing other then stars, will you accept them? :)

[Wasker]

Dtran; Thanks mister, I'll put them right next to my moons and nebulas.





And here's something from the movies!

[Wasker]

So anyway;

[Wasker]

Sillhoes, pre-work for illustration

[DanielC]

yeah bloodsimple ! ... ?
Good work man. keep going !

[Vorace]

hey wasker, you have some wonderful stuff here, especially the environments. I like a lot also the trees you did in a sketcbook

I think it's the first time I see your sb but not the last hehe!

[Flaskpost]

sill-hoe, det lär bli "fisk-hora", ungefär? you make no sense whatsoever, mister Wasker.
you make beautiful art tho. that´s what matters!
kör hårt!

[Wasker]

DanielC: Thanks mr C, it's a still from Pathology, a rather crappy movie. Bloodsimple is good though ;)

Vorace: Hey thanks, I read your comment in the chow118 thread abit too late, I love headresses but since I wasn't that familiar with the DnD universe I went for a more cliché kind of characters. A too crazy helmet might have felt out of place so I played it safe.

Flaskpost: You're right, my thread titles never makes sense :D

so here's my go at the chow that was closed,
no ref, crits are appreciated :=

[Verehin]

Sooo cool! Colors works is amaizing! 5 stars

[Wasker]

Thanks Verehin!

some 15 minute crap i did this morning

[AmontilladoAg]

Hmmm... I don't know about the pose on this one (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=416409&stc=1&d=1216466545). The top half of the body faces one way, but the legs are set to head the other way... Just looks a little odd to me :thinking: I like the colorz, though. :)

Cheers :D

[Wasker]

Amontilla: Thanks man, I think you might be right, I'll look into it tomorrow.

until then

[Wasker]

yeah, I checked the proportions, and read up on the spine, she's a bit bent in the thoracic and cervical region, I'll see if I can fix her up.

anyway

[Wasker]

Shameless skull bump

charcoal and fineliners
