[Cold Revolver]

Nice start, I like the enviroment with the ship the best, I think your images could use some cleaning up a bit but other than that great job, keep it up and develope your skills.

[Ashrumm]

Welcome to CA, great start keep up the good work man

[Slav]

Cold Revolver: thanks cold yea i am working on my digi skills. they could prolly use a tune up. :)

ashrumm: thanks man.

[Slav]

[Beelow]

Waddup Yaroslav! finally decided to start a sketch eh. Keep posting you work in here. I will drop by often.:confident

[Mika.K]

Hey Slaw, i really like your digital stuff. Expecially the lava beast is freaking aswome. The last pencil sketch you added is also very interesting, im hoping to see something similiar in color. Keep up the good work m8!

-Mika

[chrishly]

Nice start! keep up the good work!

[Jens]

cool work slav, style comes on it's own with hard work, drawing from life and looking at ather artists.

you handled the pose of that last beast really well, the goblins with the knife is also really nice

color experiments are really nice here, the fire beast is a really well executed color piece i think

[Slav]

dtran: thanks allot, i am working on it :xpld:

Beelow: whaddup budddeee, i figured it was about time to put some stuff together and such and junk. working on a folio so figured what the hey, might as well start something up here. :)

Mika.K: hehe i wonder if i will get to color it. i have quite a bit on my plate right now with school looking for work making a folio and i want to start helping out a friend organize a better life drawing program here at OCAD. we need some serious direction here :| but ill try! :P

chrishly: thanks allot i hope to see you back soon! :)

Jens: i looked at your site and i must say, thanks allot man means allot. i been having problems carrying over from traditional mediums to digital. as i am sure many have stumbled here and i am not the only one. its allot easier to draw traditionally then it is digitally at least draw and maintain a unique look. :P

[Envisor]

Got to say Im really enjoying your pencil characters. Would love to see more. Most of them look smudged real bad, or is that the way you wanted them to look. If not, try to get some fixitive, hairspray works just fine too. Cant wait for more.

[designboot]

Very nice works

[Slav]

Envisor: yea i know i didnt really bother to cleaning em up. i guess the fact that the arts store next to OCAD was out of HB leads and i got 2B instead so yea they get pretty muddy :) but i guess the fact that i am smudge master zero doesn't quite help it either.

designboot: thanks for dropping in man.

[Slav]

a few things i was working on over the last little bit.

[Slav]

updates updates.

[Beelow]

keep posting slav. I love some of your pencil works that you have posted previously and in this last one. Keep it up! XD

[Slav]

thanks bee, ill give life drawing a post later on tonight or something, i think that somethings up with my work... due to the lack of feed back. either too generic or not good enough in either case none are good. :|

[Slav]

another update comments and crits always welcome. :) sorry for the bad images but the where to big to fit into the scanner.

[Slav]

modeled a concept character by the name of victor today was a fun day just slapped on some materials. nothing amazing.

[Slav]

less perspective distortion. and a chin ring. :)

[Virg]

great sb ! the demon in the cave is my favorite, great use of color.
dont think i can crit your stuff however for the 3d model ( nice start btw )
, you should try to add all those wretched skin detail in Z brush, your concept is a good opportunity to try it.

[Slav]

whitec thanks for dropping in :) you can still leave crits i dont mind. yea soon muaha... yeassum. i think my computer tops out at 1.4 million polies but yea you right ill do my best when i get to that stage in zbrush.

[Niva.]

Hey Slav, just saying I like your stuff, not much I can crit since you pretty much have all your bases covered. Keep up the good work!

[Slav]

just a small update.

[Slav]

n1va thanks allot for droppin in, i am working at it. :)

[Slav]

i am just wondering has anyone really had problems reacting to what people say about their work? it seems, to me anyways, that i unintentionally come off as a jackass. maybe its because i am sick and are not thinking straight, worse still over analyze everything. but if you guys can share something, anything, about that i would great appreciate it.

[Wolfbane]

WHoa, inspired now! thanks alot for sharing, you've got a real talent there!

[hurricane]

cool stuff!
latest digis are nice!

about coming off as a jackass, personally i make sure not to hehe
it can be easy to fall down that hatch but writing one or two extra words to clarify usually do the trick hehe

keep on sharing!
cheers!

[Slav]

thanks wolfbane, i hope to keep on doing so. i hope you'll be back soon.

thanks bjorn, yea i agree on the internets or through email its easy to avoid that type of thing. but i was just sitting there the other night just thinking back on how i react in real life, and was just wondering... would it be best to just keep silence, just say thanks and take the compliments, i like critiques that much more because they are easy to react to as opposed to something complimentary. i dont want to end up like most of the folks i see here at my school, so i try to watch what i say and what i do but it seems like all i end up doing is coming out quite course. i donut mind most of the time because it makes me different from everyone there, but at times its just depressing because its hard to socialize with anyone here because everyone has their own little groups social hierarchy of sorts. that and the profs make me feel like i am some kind of social abomination. i guess i am complaining a bit too much. sorry. carry on.

[Slav]

a small update. was going through some old work and i decided to bring new life into one of the pieces.

[Beelow]

Yeah, it is hard to get the attention of guys here a bit. So I am in the same boat as you. They all have their little groups here. But, just stick it out Yaroslav, everyone will eventually start rolling in here. Just stick around a bit. We are both regulars at cgsociety, that may be an issue to hehe, who knows. I guess once everyone starts to see you as a familiar here, then everyone will come. I am not very popular here so dont worry. Just know that I support you and your work. I like some of those pencils dude. About the jackass thing, as hurri said, just clarify what you say and let them know what the deal is and let them know that your not being an ass I guess. Holla.XD

[Slav]

due for an update yes? excellent. :)

comments and crits always welcome.

[Slav]

decided to color this one on this grey friday afternoon.

[oalexis]

um, your pencil skills are great! i'm liking the direction the colours are taking on that last one. its like a rainbow :)

[Yautja892]

Hey Slav, very strong works you have in here. My favorite is the lava creature painting, has great atmoshpere to it. Love the pencils as well, I think you could put some more contrast in some of them, but overall they are awesome. I'll be keeping an eye on ya :)

[Slav]

doodle for a friend, omega red.

[Slav]

a bag illustration

[Slav]

well after a night works this is what i got. :) i know there are allot of things prolly wrong with it be it had to be done more so then be accurate.

[Slav]

oalexis Yautja892 thanks guys for dropping in sorry for a late reply but i been busy with end of semester projects. anywho an update hope you all like it. comments and crits more then welcome.

[voxelfog]

That last one looks fantastic. great lighting and colors.
Can't really tell what that old guy is doing there, but it makes for an interesting image. :)

[Slav]

thanks voxelfg, he's leavin. he's in a wheel chair :P

[Marty666]

Good stuff!!! Some of the earlyer sketches seem a bit blurry or scribbly at some places, but I think that's ok for sketches and I'm just saying this, because I feel I should at least give some crits :) ... I love the compo and lighting in 142, clearly the best... great work!

[Niva.]

Hey Slav, started a new book I see, very solid improvements!

I love what's happenng in the top-middle of this one:
http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=100381&stc=1&d=1172628551

[matejkovacic]

[Slav]

n1va: na man. just updated the hell outta this one. i been doing some contract work so i didnt get a chance to update in a while but i hope now i will be able to. :)

[Ashrumm]

your stuff is really good but you may want to watch the proportions on some of your pieces. Your concepts are good and your digitial stuff has improved immensely keep up the good work!!

[Slav]

thanks spect. i am glad to inspire, there are many great folks here for that.
ashrumm thanks, i try to be diligent while maintaining my own flavor.

[Mr.Delicious]

the last one is really cool, great work. I wish you finished that illustration with the knight dude a few posts back.

[Slav]

Mr.Delicious thanks for your kind words. i only wish i know what one you meant.

anywho here is a small doodle.

[Dan Valkar]

good pencils bro..solid work here...nice shadin' and good concepts keep it up!

[Slav]

just a nights sketch session

hope you all like.

[ch1xx0r]

interesting concepts, dude, and your digital work is awesome. looing forward to seeing more :)

[saa]

Hey Slav, I see you progressing alot with your stuff. In my opinion your compositions are exceptionally good, whereas your structure needs some work. I guess you'll do just fine, just stick to it.
cheers

thanks for dropping in to check out my sketches mate, sorry for the late reply.

thanks allot for your support i been going through a rut these days. artist block sucks. :(

cheers

if you can elaborate what you mean by structure that would be soo awesome you have no idea. it will give me something to work on. at least something distinct.

[saa]

I'll try to explain what I mean on the basis of your latest painting. While, as I said, the composition (more precisely the abstract color masses) leads the eye around very well - you seriously have a very good feel for that -, the underlying structure isn't clear. It's especially apparent at the top right corner of the image, and in general I can't tell for sure how some of the elements of the picture are positioned in space. Maybe it is a matter of finish, it can be that you leave the part of making the structure clearly readable to the last stage of painting. What I'm trying to say is that you could think about reorganizing your steps in painting/ drawing. Until now you concentrated on composition, to the relation of color/value masses. Try to incorporate more structure behind it.

I'm not saying that you should render everything to death, or draw/paint more clearly. This isn't a thing of rendering, it's just about the image that you have in your mind. The way you imagine the things you draw/paint affects your handling to a great extend. I'm not sure if I'm making this clear to you, anyhow I hope it helps. Cheers!

[Charles Ratteray]

lovely work man.!!

[Slav]

saa i think i have an idea of what you mean. i guess i kind of kill any detail in that area and did put any kind of back light for the creature's hand. but no matter. i totally get you. it sucks that i didn't do it though.

Charles Ratteray thanks for droppin in!

[Slav]

quick sketch trying to break outta some artist blockage.

hope you all like

[Discoskull]

Awesome sketchbook! I love your lines and your lighting.
I really like how you pop people into environments; it is something I need to learn to do better.
No crits from me; just letting you know it's Super-Keen.

Peace

[Slav]

a quick assignment for class.

comments and crits please?

[enrigo]

Very nice texture on this one http://conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=273186&stc=1&d=1199522280.
Hope you feel better from the artist block soon ;)

[zeroe]

Dude I like how your work seems fresh and colorful but still retains that conceptarty edge if you know what I mean. I really like your life drawings a lot as well...keep it up.

[bbassir]

Hey man! Great work, very expressionistic if slightly demented.:) Love the little squirl, very funny. Exceptional penciling! Keep up the good work.

[Slav]

just a quick update.

1st one is a quick sketch i like that ill rework when i have time.

the 2nd is some class assignment with a theme of "pink" obviously it needs color but thats the sketch in my book.

[Slav]

enrigo: thanks man nothing a bit vegetating wont fix :D

zeroe: thanks ill post more life drawings in a while those things are a pain to scan in.

bbassir: demented? yea i used to do allot worse, i mean in terms of things being more demented. but i think its gotten better. i am really not sure if its a good or a bad thing but i am enjoying the end result and i am glad to see you are too.

[Slav]

just a quick update.

the colors for that other sketch a few posts back.

[Discoskull]

This latest one is awesome. Funny/well done.

Perhaps the robot could stick out/shine just a tad bit more, but that's all I'd say.

[Slav]

thanks man i updated it a few times but it kept showing up as an attached file not as an image. i donno what's up with it. but oh well. here is the final one i did. not gonna doodle with it anymore.

[Carbono]

Wow, amazing stuff you got there, i really like this last one, the expression on the female's face is amazing!

Keep it up man, looking good!

[Beelow]

Feet and legs look really small. You may need to take a look at that again Yaro. I love the colors of this last one though. Keep rocking it out.

[Slav]

thanks carbono i been trying to soak up everything from everyone. trying to get myself to feel like i am progressing.

beelow ill do another version and post it later but i donno man. i love little feet. :P

[Slav]

some stuff.

[Slav]

some doodles from my bus trips here and there.

[GiantRibot]

wonderful! see? i need polish like you have. thanks for posting in my sb. you're awesome

[ArtZealot]

thanks man i updated it a few times but it kept showing up as an attached file not as an image. i donno what's up with it. but oh well. here is the final one i did. not gonna doodle with it anymore.

ahh noo! i was just looking at the girl in the bathroom with the robots, and saw the reccomendation for the lazer shine, then after the reccomendation. i think it was much better before the lazer shine. It was already obvious what the robot was doing without hammering it in our faces with the lazerbeams. I liked the subtlety of it before. All in all you have some great stuff in here, i'll be checking back often, cheers.

[Slav]

Giantrobot thanks for the encouragement. i just need to make more stuff to put up here. check back soon!

thanks artzealot any input is awesome.
