[KromNz]

Welcome! to my SB!
Comments,Crits and advises,etc are really appreciated!!!

[stygianlead]

WOW! amazing job. I'm in love with the fish armor with the full face. The third sketch from the top has an ainteresting pose for the female. Keep it up!!
*subscribes*

[KromNz]

Thank you, I'm glad you like it.

[Wingg]

great work you got here, love it :)

[Jasper_]

Hey, these are pretty good. Are you using both ink and pencil for these? It gives a nice style to your rendering. I'd love to see some more, looks like you could have some cool ideas for a comic.

[KromNz]

Wingg: thanks a lot for your comments.

Pyroclasm00: Thanks you. And yeah, i usually draw the general idea with pencil, then i use ink for details and then pencil for shadows and volumen.

[KromNz]

A couple more. the last one, its base on a painting, which i cann't recall its name or the artist, in it, i change the girl for a another.

[KromNz]

Comic Update.

A few more concepts i hope you guys like, or something abouth them.

[markey2d]

i love your buildings, how do u keep everything so clean and meticulos.

keep updatin

[KromNz]

markey2d: hey man, thank you, I'm glad you liked my buildings :) . To your question, i try to draw very thin lines when doing buildings, so then i retrace the lines i want with ink. But those 2 are my first 2 attempts to draw building scenes.

[KromNz]

I usually dont draw super heroes, but i tried it out a few weeks ago and here it is.
I hope you like them or something about them.

[KromNz]

Comic Update

A few more concepts and drawings i did just for fun :), And drawins of my hand :P
For the comic, armor girl by the side of some chair designs and The robot, which is in one of the buildings desing on top.

[Ryan K]

Great buildings. Would you happen to know any good perspective guides?

[undergroundsean]

it is a cool sb .
like your character drawing it's really good .
keep posting dude !

[KromNz]

Undergroundsean- Thank you for your feedback, but yet, there are still flaws in my Character drawing which i'm trying to improve.
Etenos- Thank you, I know one, "From Line to Design, Design graphic communication by Scott VanDyke" its a really good one that covers perspective and other stuff.

[KromNz]

Comic Update.
A few more recent designs of mine for the comic. These are a design for a the Rank of Captain for the same sort of soldiers and other ideas.
As crealy seen, i tried to mix the medival greek helmet with the last helmets i had design, I think the mix gives the Captain a "legendary" figure.
Any comments could be great. the sword is really bad, at least now i know what not to do. :)
I hope Stygianlead keeps liking my armor soldiers after these :) .
Have a nice day. thanks for stopping by.

[KromNz]

Comic Update.
Updating after a while.
This is a drawing I made like 2 weeks ago, I felt the need to draw a sort of dragon, i had never draw a none human animal so these is my first attempt.
The soldier standing in front of the dragon went to piss and the dragon came :). I desing the dragon not to fly too much, so thats why i made its wings heavy and with some honrs that it uses to balance its body while walking.
Note. the original drawing its 2 inches lagger by each side so sorry for that :)
I hope you like it, or something about it.
P.S. sorry for my english. Thanks for stopping by.

[Wasker]

Cool sb, I like the guy on the right alot in this pic
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=112954&stc=1&d=1174786112

There are some perspective and anatomical errors but it looks pretty darn cool anyway :)

[KromNz]

Wasker- Thanks for your comments, but is a girl, hahaha, sorry my bad I tried to make that sketch to see how that armor would look on a male and a female. Anyway, yeah i still have some of those problems you pointed out, and I'm triying fix them.

[KromNz]

Updating for the day.
The soldier was based on a 3D model of a chinise soldier for Battlefield2 and I tried to made it more... organic. And the Iraki woman is based from picture I found on from the web, i thought her expression in her face was very interesting. Well, thanks for stopping by today. Later.

[KromNz]

A few more

[KromNz]

A few more, sketching around Zbrush. Thanks for stopping by today, Later.

[KromNz]

Updating.
A a drawing i made of Hemingway using dots, dont know the name of this kind of style in english, so, sorry. My first and last time using dots to draw, not because it was hard, but because, I'm not interest. But, its still one of my favorites.
And a more "cartoony" phase of mine. Both are 6-5 years old.
More updates in mins.

[KromNz]

As said in previous posts, here are some sketches for the female body, in different poses, the reason was to get more used to draw the female body.
A few more in mins.

[KromNz]

This is it, for gils today. Drop a line if you want, if not is alright too, just glad you took your time to look today. Thank you. Updating one more later.

[KromNz]

Concept for the Comic update

Hey again. this is a work in progress, right now its very early, from what i want to accomplish with this. Anyway, i would like to keep updating my progress in future posts. Thank you for stopping by and check my updates.
Adding.
The woman from the second couple from the left to right, I feel very connected to her expression, it makes me remember how I felt that day.

[ajaysingh]

excelent work man
too good
yr imagination is really fantastic
keep on

[Bhrazz]

What ajaysingh said. Nice creativity you have, keep posting:)

[dmitri]

Many of the ink and pencil drawings feel too busy to me... You have details, details and details (especially your clothing folds seem too wild, a fold's purpose in a drawing should be mostly to define the form underneath, not stealing the show) and quite little variation in line width, which in my opinion makes for some confusing pictures. You don't have to detail everything. Some, more uninteresting parts, can be lost in shadows... learn to just hint some of the details (the viewer will fill the rest in!)...

[Clocks]

Hey! Nice SB you have here! I like all the creative pieces. My favorites are probably the dragon and the head from #23. Most of your heads seem a little off, so I'm not sure what you did different with the one in #23 but keep doing that! (Talking about the first picture on the left side).

Well like I said you have some real nice stuff in here, keep updating I'll be checking in on this one!

[Ex Nihilo]

There's some great stuff in here. You seem to be progressing quite nicely.

I agree with dmitri's crit (although I am struggling with clothing and drapery at the moment).

Keep it up.

[KromNz]

Ajaysighn - Thank you a Lot, i love to draw from my mind, and desing new things. Im in a phase where i have to create lots of things for my comic to come alive and for you too like my creativity makes my day. Thank you.

Bhrazz- Thank you for dropping a line here. :) you have a COOL sb too.

Dmitry- Thanks for your comments. Its my style. Sometimes i had to stop myself from going into much details . Ill try to do more of excersices on the things you pointed out and i Bow to you. Thank you.:D Im very happy for your comments.

Clocks thanks you for checking out my sketcbook, I hated that head, but if you like it maybe it wasnt that bad lol. Thank you for dropping a line you have a great sb and lots of talent.
Ex Nihilo Im really glad you like my stuff man, I'll work on Dmitri's crit.

[dmitri]

I'm not saying you should completely drop the details - just saying that they'd be more effective if organized more properly. Even with the ants in a forest example you have a priority, a reason why you are drawing the picture - the battling ants. If you were to render this sort of a picture with everything at the same detail level and the same line weights (and no other way of directing the viewer to the ants either), the cool ants would be terribly lost. Don't you think that would be a shame?
Your pictures do have some direction, I'm just exaggerating a bit here.

These aren't of the very best quality, but take a look at some of Mucha's posters (http://www.muchafoundation.org/mucha/showroom.php?rmid=3) for example. Lots of details, folds, swirls and other tiny treats all over the pictures - yet, even the most detailed parts don't feel busy. The pictures are pleasant to look at, you quickly see that there's a female figure or two and so on. It's a compilation of many things, but one thing keeping the details in control, serving what is portrayed (instead of taking over), is the coherent use of line weights. The bigger the feature, the thicker the line and vice versa. Since it seems that you are working with line a lot, it would probably be beneficial to study what sort of tricks you can do with the lines alone.

I envy your patience with the details, but a little more of that patience could be used when drawing the figures. Like in the last picture you posted, the guy in the center seems to have no crotch, his hands are of different sizes (both very large)... Little stuffs like that. ;)

(Now if I could just listen to my own advice... :\)

[Vigilandus]

Can't crit much but I do know that you have to watch it with the outline of your lips. They shouldn't be as dark and solid as the rest of your lines. If you want to draw three strokes to make the lips, you could try to draw lighter lines for the top and bottom stroke.

[KromNz]

Thank you for your crit Vigilandus and for posting here, I'll keep an eye at my lips, I promise I'll try to work at it more.

[Leo Ki]

You seem to have a whole universe inside your head, and I think that working more on your comics would be a good incentive to practice and improve.

Some of your sketches, especially among the female outlines, are very good, but you sometimes lose concentration on body consistency. You catch some face expressions very well too. The sitting Catwoman sketch is yummy - simple and well balanced, and the first Batman is stunning.

Your fantasy architecture is well worth exploring and developing, it will be of great value in your comics. Could you tell us a bit more about the project?

About your latest picture: The dragon is wounded or dying, right? The attitude is well rendered, but I was looking for a visual clue about what happened just before the scene.

[KromNz]

Hey Leo Ki, thanks for your comments. You are right on with your crits, my consistency is a huge problem I find, trying to fix that right now doing more studies getting more xp.
You place a smile in my face, I'm really glad you liked that Catwoman its my favorite of all females or superheroes i did.

About the comic, its about story i have being working on for the last 5-6 years, and not long ago I wrote a "script" for a 30-40 pages "comic". This story in particular its about one captain(post #16), his last 20-24 hours of his life, fighting a war for a country in another planet. I'm trying to include in this planet, many fantasy creatures like dragons, and giving them my own aproach as with the dragon concept, as well as some creatures of my own.

Right now, everything I'm showing are concepts for ideas, I'm sorry for not showing what happens before and after. But as soon as i start to draw the comic, i really want to share some pages with this community.
Sorry for my English. Cya :)

[Deon]

Thanks for stopping by my sketchbook - some really nice designs you have here - especially the armour and our arcitecture.
The only think I'd say is you should try to build more depth in your scenes (like witht the soldier looking at the fire in the distance) with more contrasting layers, setting the backround apart from the foreground. Try to control what the viewer should look at by leading his eye with contrast.
Keep up the good work.

[KromNz]

Hey Deon np, your sb is pretty good. Thank you for your comments man, yeah you are right about that, that concept in particular i did it a couple of years ago, I don't know if I'm trying to fix it, but lets say I'm experimenting. Brigging so much chaos to a single frame, while keeping the main action a first, second or even 3rd plane or layer.
Thank you a lot again for your comment. I'm taking notes about what I'm doing wrong and ok. :)

[KromNz]

Hey guys, for the last months i have been out of ideas lol, and i stopped sketching lol. Well i found the will to make a few and here they are.
I hope you like them or something about them.

[Ex Nihilo]

That king image is looking pretty sweet. I like the throne in particular. The figure could use some more contrast, though, in order to make it the focal point.

Nice to see you're still at it. Keep going.

[KromNz]

Hey Ex Nihilo, Thanks for giving me another visit :) YAY!; Yeah man, your comments about the king are very right, I'll try to finish it today, I wanted to make it as you comment with a strong light presence frome the top, so you could barely see the king's face, and make the throne and his costume my focal points, why? I have no clue lol. Thanks a lot for you visit man. Cya later.

[KromNz]

Hey guys!!!!! updating here with this portrait based on a photograph I found in the web. Hope you like it or something about it. Cya later and have a nice day.

[kovah]

Some nice stuff here, that last portrait of a soldier is really nice - the rendering especially. The only thing that lets it the eyes, they seem off...

I really like that dragon as well - its good but the tangent where the wing appears to touch the head is off putting. Hope you dont mind did abit of a paintover

[KromNz]

Hey Kovah oh man thanks for your crit, you have a sweet eye, you pointed out somethings i knew and others that i had no clue. Yeah, the wing its like that cause its using a horn you see over the other wing to walk and balance(couldn't scan the whole thing), but yyea :), i alway felt that there was something missing there, now I know :P thank hehe. Anyway, the dragon its blind lol, at that time the dragon doesn't know where the soldier is, I want to make the following frame where the dragon finds the soldier and hell of a fight happens against the dragon and a squad of soldiers.
Again THANKS A LOT for your comments I will try keep improving and please i dont mind about the paintover i was surpriese that you took the time to do it :). Thank you again.

[kovah]

No problem :) ah blind draggin, makes sense now. I had PS open and it was easier to doodle all over your picture than try and explain it with words.

can't wait to see that next frame then ;)

[KromNz]

hey guys, updating with a sketch about a destroyed tank from a photograph, I hope i get to finish it, but i dont like it lol, I'll try to do it again. Well have a nice day.

[Camara]

Good SB.Nice pencils.I did another version of that soldier.You can see it in my SB.

Cheers!

[KromNz]

Hey Camara thanks for your comments. Yeah i saw your version of the soldier, and I love it, great job!! cheers!!

[Camara]

Thanks for stopping by my SB!!!I´m still wantching carefully your last scketch and is amazing your level of detail.Is all made with pencil?I mean,have you used photoshop in any moment?The rendering is great.Keep drawing!

[KromNz]

Hey Camara, I used pencil for my last sketch I used Photoshop to adjust the contrast levels to make it a bit darker. I do want to use photoshop but my skills are not that great, I wish some day I'll be at your level :). thanks again.

[KromNz]

Updating with this very very very old piece I did long ago. :)

[KromNz]

These two are works in progress.
Thanks for stopping by and check out my sb.

[MRCesar]

Hello, KromNz, thanks for dropping a note on my sketchbook! Your work is top quality here. I really like the details you place in your drawings, and that street scene with the two soldiers looks awesome. Are you planning a graphic novel with them, considering you have a lot of armored/mechanical soldiers in your sketches?

[KromNz]

Hi MRCesar!! thanks for stopping by and checkout my sb and for your comment, i really appreciate it. Many of my sketches are based on those soldiers, I'm trying to design them as much as i can and there world, but I am writing a graphic novel that i hope I finish soon to start drawing it.
Once again thank you. Have great Day!!

[Fahad]

Good detailed work man! Love the dragon pic! Keep it up! :)

[KromNz]

Thanks Fahad :)

[KromNz]

updating with more wips

[KromNz]

updating, this is a concept i just finished, using photoshop.
have a great day

[JFierce]

Cool SB, the one with the soldiers in the alley is looking good


Now for a little constructive crit haha

I would suggest taking a little time to focus on the anatomy of the face
It seems the last few images above have some problems there

The guy with the bandana his eye looks like its higher and more to the right
than what it should be, the nose feels like its too skinny and the mouth the lips feel too skinny to me the rendering is good though :)

[KromNz]

hey JFierce, I thank you very much for your crit, i'll try to work on that more.
again thanks for taking the time to check out my sb :)
have a great day :D cheers !

[KromNz]

HEY, this is another concept i did this weekend. hope you like it or something about it.

[KromNz]

updating with a concept i made with the help of a tuts

[Dorkthrone]

Nice stuff. There are a few anatomy and perspective errors, but nothing too bad.

And I really like your new digital stuff too.

Keep it up.

[KromNz]

hey Ninjacat11, thanks for stoping by and for the crit, I really appreciate it :D
and yeah i need to improve in those areas you pointed out.
thanks again man Cheers!!

[destinyapocalypse]

anyway, thanks for stopping by today. Have a great day.

[KromNz]

[KromNz]

hey guys, updating today with a zbrush model and two architectural renderings with 3dsmax
take care

[KromNz]

[matejkovacic]

This last "photo" is great! Maybe the guy is a little
flat and too bright, but otherwise good job.

Matej

[KromNz]

more for today

[KromNz]

Hey Matejkovacic, Im very glad you liked that one, and you are very right, the guy is very flat, I will try to give him more volume. Thanks for the crit I really appreciate it :D
Cheers!

[KromNz]

for today

[r2d2]

Hi,
Your works looks good. I think you like a fantastic, right? I like it too...

[KromNz]

hey guys, here is a sketch of something Im working at the moment. Still trying to experiment with the smoke and other stuff to make it more chaotic.

thanks for droping by today. take care

[KromNz]

hey guys, well i was working on the last piece, but i was needed to paint a virus. To do this I model a sphere with some extrudes and took it to zbrush, and thats the first pic, then i did everything else in photoshop.

Have a great day. guys

[KromNz]

updating with a 3d model for the my dragon still a work in progress.

[KromNz]

well...I did Finished the concept I was doing at post #86. Just too much work and now it its, the finished version. I'll be updating with some more concepts and 3d stuff over these days.
Have a nice weekend !!

[KromNz]

hi again, here are a two concepts I did recently as a favor, a hospital for the elder and an asylum, both were done pretty fast.

[KromNz]

hey guys, here today with a model I did last december. Done using maya, zbrush, bodypaint 3d and photoshop. hope you guys like it.

[KromNz]

still a work in process but im thinking to redo the shading

[KromNz]

A jedi Reading. I did this just for fun while thinking about the new mmo starwars game.
hope you like it.

[Leo Ki]

Big living rooms Jedis have ;)
Hola Krom, te acuerdas de mi?
You're advancing overall, but there's often a weakness in volumes which I think you should address by training values in speed painting.
Keep it up!

[KromNz]

Hola hola Leo Ki. claro que me acuerdo de ti.
Its been a long time lol.
Thank you so much for checking up on my sketchbook. :)
I do agree, I do have those issues that I hope in time and lots of practice I'll be able to fix.
thank you man, its nice to hear from you again.

[KromNz]

this one I did it before the jedi one, and I had lots of fun painting it. I felt it was a big challenge.
hope you guys like it.

[Ricardo Robles]

Puedo decirte que estás mejorando muchísimo. Tus modelos en 3dsmax son muy buenos desde mi punto de vista, (no hago 3d, aunque hace poco me he puesto con zbrush) me encanta el de la sala de estar estilo japonés con un cuadro de tu personaje. Con el resto de tus dibujos, teniendo en cuenta que sólo usabas ratón es para quitarse el sombrero, ahora con la tableta vas a volar.
Tienes que practicar un poco más la anatomía, pero por lo demás genial.
Buen SB, un saludo!

[KromNz]

hola Ricardo. Muchas gracias por tu comentario y la critica, tienes mucha razon, todavia tengo algunas dificultades con la anatomia, pero espero que pronto la vaya mejorando :)
el 3d y el dibujo son mis dos pasiones, pero mas que nada por el resultado final. Asi que te agradezco mucho que te haya gustado mi 3D.

[KromNz]

this is another piece I did recently I had fun, fear, and many lost hours of sleep and nightmares about how to accomplish this. I really hope you guys like it, I know there is still sooo much to learn, I want to learn.
have a great day. :D
here it is. "Three Deadly Siths"

[Ricardo Robles]

Sencillamente brutal. Esto supone un salto enorme en tu trabajo, me gusta muchísimo. No hay crítica posible. ¿hay 3d aquí? ¿referencias? guapísimo, te puntúo alto:D

[KromNz]

Wow, Definitivamente me ha alegrado enormemente y sentirme orgullozo de la pintura, al saber que que te halla gustado, tu arte lo concidero de lo mejor que he visto por aca en concept. no hombre muchas gracias.
no utilice ningun elemento en 3d y si utilice 2 referencias, busque en la internet fotos de hombres muertos, pero creo que estaban actuando en la foto. jeje. pero igual, uno de ellos es en la izquierda, el hombre que solo se le ven las piernas y el segundo fue el que esta en la derecha con la espada rota, para este dibuje mas o menos un aproximado con la perpectiva de esta escena.
por lo demas, me tarde mucho con los sketches iniciales, cada personaje excepto la chica, que solo la re hice 2 veces, y los otros dos los rehice hasta 5 o mas veces cada uno.

Pero bueno otra vez. muchas muchas gracias, que te haya gustado significa mucho. Eres un gran artista.

[erik-jan v/d schuur]

HEYY!!!!

you got some good stuff in here!!
really like the last thingy u did

and your 3d moddeling is impressive


do some more pencil sketches ok? like figure drawings for example
its a good training!!

keep it up!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Wow, things are getting good here, this last SW thing is pretty cool, and I like how it is not pressenting the battle, but more like the aftermath, leaving it to us to imagine how it happened:)

-E

[KromNz]

hey guys thanks a lot for your comments, means a lot to me.
'ej: I will try to do that more. Althoug, for the last pic, i did over 30 character drawings or more, until I found a pose for each character I could tolerate lol.

[KromNz]

Hey guys, this image was requested by Darim in the SWTOR forums.
hope you guys like it or something about it.
have a great day

[KromNz]

I was commissioned to paint this pic, it is based on the game SWTOR.

all done in photoshop.



note: I'm not the owner for these 3 characters

thanks for watching.

[Ricardo Robles]

Muy serio este último. Me encanta y se nota que lleva muchísimo trabajo.
Si me permites la sugerencia, hubiese puesto al personaje central atravesando al sith de manera brutal con la espada láser, quizá la imagen hubiese ganado fuerza... pero es sólo un apunte, está muy bien.
Saludos.

[KromNz]

hey Ricardo!
Muchismas gracias por tu comentario se te agradece enormemente.
Si esta imagen fue un poco mas seria, ya que fue para mi primer comisión pues y pues si habían nervios y una necesidad de dar un poco mas.
Por tu sugerencia estas totalmente en lo correcto. allí yo me deje llevar por el boceto inicial que me dio la impresión que tenia suficiente acción e impacto en el cuerpo del sith. Solo que luego de cambiar al sith no me di cuenta de eso que mencionas.
tienes la razón, necesita mas brutalidad.
Pero bueno, yo creo que lo bueno de la actual posición de la espada es que le da a ese personaje una ilumanción diferente a los demas. Lo hace resaltar un poco.

Muchos saludos,
Es un honor tu visita :)

[KromNz]

hey there, this here updating, this is another commission, I had less time to work with this one. It took around 4-6 hours to do.

have a great day

[LisandroG]

Hola KromNz

Voy a practicar mi Espanol, porfabor me disculpes si lo que escrito no se entiende! Bien trabajos que tenes aqui, se ve que entendes unas cosas de color, atmosfera, y tonalidad. Si te pudiera consejar en una cosa - creo que mas estudio en anatomia y figuras to ajudaria muchisimo en hacer imagenes que son mas creible, lo mas que entendes de anatomia, sera mas facil a hace figuras con no son tan rigidos, y que tienen vida. Yo siempre estoy tratando de aprender mas in anatomia tambien. Bien trabajo!

Saludos

[KromNz]

LisandroG: Muchas gracias por tu comentario y gracias por la critica, aprecio mucho las criticas me ayuda mucho a ver errores y pues por supuesto el continuo estudio de la anatomia es un objetivo que siempre tengo.
Saludos Cordiales.
Have a great day!

[KromNz]

sketchs for my newest pic.
the end result here (http://kromnz.deviantart.com/art/An-Angel-s-Sacrifice-121682662)

[KromNz]

fast and bored

[Aveh]

That large piece with the 3 characters seems really daunting. Good job on finishing it!
I'm not sure what the brief said the requirements were, but I think you could have really pushed the action and drama by giving it some more depth and "clutter". ie. more troops running in to fight, bodies laying around from the seconds before the current scene., or one of the 3 characters taking care of another set of enemies in the background.

Just random thoughts I had while looking at it, yknow to give it a more lively feel.

[KromNz]

hey Aveh, thanks a lot for your comment.
that painting in particular was epic for me, I spent a long long time and made soooo many mistakes with it and tried to fix those mistakes with my limited skills lol.

I understand your idea about more troops running and fighting in the back I also thought it could have been cool adding more action and chaous. But since the time was running out to finish this I just tried to be as faithfull as possible to the description, and only adding that one of the bodies that were on the ground to have some life to imply that the fighting might continue.
hehe a cheap and /or bad solution lol
thanks a lot for your comment man.
have an awesome day.

[KromNz]

sketch for darim

[Ricardo Robles]

El del angel te ha quedado estupendo, me gusta el demonio en primer plano, muy siniestro el gorro que lleva.
el paisaje detrás también está logrado.
Very nice job!!

[KromNz]

Muchísimas gracias Ricardo, como siempre me enorgullece recibir tu visita y comentarios.
Ambos personajes están basados en historias supuestamente “reales” y bueno solo intente representar las descripciones que me dieron de ambos personajes. Me alegra saber que te gusto esa imagen. Muchas gracias :)

[KromNz]

A jedi?

[KromNz]

I have a link in a previous post, but well, here it is.

[KromNz]

here updating, with some sketches for a new sw pic, 5 to 10 mins on each except the last one which was a bit longer.

[KromNz]

sketch about Darth Tempest, I'm almost finishing painting this pic.
Thanks for watching.

[KromNz]

"The Dawn of a Beast" an Starwars themed pic.

[Ricardo Robles]

WOW!
¡guapísimo!
¡me encanta la composición!
una atmósfera muy convincente, también, y el efecto de los rayos muy bien conseguido.
No suelo seguir el fanart de la saga de star wars y no conozco este personaje, aunque veo que es uno de tus temas favoritos..
Un pequeño detalle: si subes ligeramente la ubicación del enemigo del extremo derecho ya no estará en línea con la cabeza del personaje principal y la imagen cogerá todavía más dinamismo.

Por cierto la cara del jedi calvo es un tanto personal...jeje ¿tal vez seas tú?
Sobre los speedpaints, con ese tiempo de realización son verdaderas mini obras de arte.
Un saludo y sigue con ese nivel y constancia en el trabajo.

[KromNz]

Muchísimas gracias, como siempre se aprecia tu comentario, le subiré la posición al personaje que me dices, sinceramente no me había dado cuenta de que estaban alineados jaja.
Estos personajes son creaciones personales mías, que en los foros del nuevo juego de Star wars han gustado, y para esta imagen diseñe todos los elementos que hay, lo cual me fascina porque me da libertad para hacer lo que quiera con los personajes y la ubicación. Y si, para el rostro si utilice mucho el espejo para la expresión, aun asi no creo que me parezca tanto jajajajaja.
Muchísimas gracias, un gran saludo y un abrazo.

[KromNz]

hey guys
this sort of the making of Kamen hehe.

[KromNz]

hey guys, here with some drawings I did for fun, and to practice.the first is based on a photo from the movie dawn of the dead (i think) and the other from a wonderful photograph named Lost of inocence.

[Ricardo Robles]

Hola!
El sith de la anterior página está muy guapo. La atmósfera muy conseguida, totalmente Star Wars. La composición buena también. Me gustaba también antes de incorporar el rayo de luz que está surgiendo de esa especie de generador de energía a la derecha., aunque con el rayo la imagen toma otra luminosidad un poco más interesante.
Respecto a los retratos me gustan, tienes una ejecución muy precisa y parecen prácticamente reales. (el de arriba es el mejor de los dos para mi gusto)
Un saludo y sigue trabajando duro :D
Keep up the good work!

I would recommend you to draw lots of heads and anatomy, the faces you draw dont look too good and too bad because you have great concepts.
also draw more from life like environments and urban, it will develop your visualization skills and will help your work to appear more real in regard of lighting/shading.
good luck

[KromNz]

Hola Ricardo! como siempre me enorgullece recibir tu visita y tus comentarios.
Me alegra mucho que te guste el del sith, a pesar que se ve pequeño.
Y muchísimas gracias, seguiré echándole muchas ganas a esto.
un gran saludo.

Danny K: Thanks for the crit and your recommendations, Greatly appreciate it.
Very good luck to you to man. :)


A friend from the SW:tor forums asked me to create his character. I tried to work on it as fast as I could.

[KromNz]

doing some studies, one based on a pic from a movie I found at some movie site, and a personal pic for fun.

[KromNz]

hey guys, well this is Kamen another starwars commission.
thanks for watching.

[Ghostbrush]

hey some nice stuff in here, good colours and generally pretty decent environments.

My only crit, is that ur anatomy really lets ur work down, Its fixable, just get down to some studies and really nail it.
your figures look rather static and dont convey form very well, but again this is fixable with studies.

I not being horrid, just a critique, cos if u sorted ur anatomy out, ur work would look 10 times better! seriously

All the best

Alex

[Ricardo Robles]

madre mia está brutal!
Muy guapo si señor, yo creo que tu anatomía es bastante buena ahora, desde que comenzaste a postear, aunque se podría mejorar (como todo) quizá te recomendaría buscar poses algo más dinámicas. Las imágenes como esta causan impresión por el impacto visual, pero a veces merece la pena poner atención en detalles como que los hombros no estén a la misma altura y cosas así.
No obstante tienes un control muy exacto de la luz y de cómo esta incide sobre los objetos, y esto hace que tus trabajos sean muy realistas.A mí me ha impresionado la imagen nada más verla, el generador ese de energía del cual te hablé es brutal.
Felicidades y sigue trabajando así.

[KromNz]

Thank you Alex for your crit. I do studies as much as I can :)

Muchas gracias por tu comentario Ricardo, siempre son muy bienvenidos y apreciados,
me alegra mucho que te guste esa imagen, y claro intentare mejorar la anatomía y poses mas dinámicas, y los aplicare mas en próximas pics :)


the first one is a small collection of avatars that I have done over the past 2 months for different Kotor Fans. these characters are originals and they are not owned by me, I just tried to portrait them as they were requested.

the second pic is an sketch for a commission that went south, I might finish it on my own someday


Thanks for watching :)

[Ricardo Robles]

WoW (y no me refiero a world of warcraft:D)

se salen esas ilustraciones. La que más me gusta es el (sith?)rojo pero el tigre está muy bien conseguido también.
Las texturas geniales, los brillos del metal super conseguidos. estás mejorando un huevo!

[Droid]

The one with the sith guy standing in a room full of bodies looks really good, I think it looks more realistic due to the effort you put on getting the lighting right.

(The one with my thanks)

Plus I love his evil grin.

:D

Keep up the good work!

[KromNz]

jajaja me hiso reir lo del Warcraft ,

muchas gracias por tus palabras Ricardo, me alegra mucho saber que concideras que estoy mejorando, es un gran alivio :D hay que celebrar... Salud!!
jeje

TouchStone : Thank you very much for your words man and thanks for your visit.


something a bit out side of starwars hehe... I really needed this ;)

This pic started out a few weeks ago as just a painting practice, my goal was to paint some guys face and that would be it( the blond guy's face which I later changed it to the one you see now)

I liked the face and decided to paint his body, then his alien buddy, the girl and so on lol. Thats how I created this pic and it was very fun but there were many moments in which I wondered if I was ever going to finish it hehe.

I hope that this is just the first of many other concepts about the story I created for them.


program: PSCS4

time: I lost track of time long ago...

I hope you like this, Thank you very much for watching!!

have a great day!:D

[KromNz]

small update,
some drawings, a few based on pictures hehe, others from imagination.

[jackpot_anjr90]

Nice faces! Good practice for values :) I think you should work hard on your anatomy though. Figure studies would be really good for you.

[KromNz]

Thanks mate!

[Catatafish]

oh man, those digital paintings at the beginning of the page look stunning, i wish i could get those life like eyes some time in the future too!
your rendering is really great and anatomy and everything works perfectly(those faces are awesome)
i can not wait to see more stuff

[Peetaer]

Fuck yeah!!! Love the star wars art! So much detail. What's the average time you spend on those?

[KromNz]

Thank you very much Catatafish and I am sure you will be able to draw very realistic eyes :D

hehe Thanks a lot Peetaer, I am glad to know you like my starwars pics. I think the average would be around 20 hours, very slow ... I know.

[Ricardo Robles]

Hola!:D
Está conseguida la imagen del bar futurista, no me parecen muchas 20 horas, poco a poco irás ganando velocidad.
te doy mi opinión de lo mejor y lo menos bueno, por si te sirve..;D
Lo que más me gusta:las vestimentas, el equipamiento, la personalización de los protas. La iluminación buenísima también.me gusta el detalle del almuerzo con una botella de vino, muy terráqueo, supongo que lo pusiste a propósito para celebrar, como decías unos post más arriba.
Lo que me gusta menos: se pierde un pelín la perspectiva atmosférica al dotar al los personajes delanteros del mismo detalle que los del fondo. En esto a mí me han llamado la atención también recientemente, por eso lo observo.
el alien no me convence mucho.
y ya está,

En general buenísimo!
Un saludo!!
Very good pic!

[SMILEFACE]

WOW YOU HAVE SUCH AMAZING SKILLS SOOOO COOL haaahaa YOU RRRRRRROOOOOCCCKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!

[KromNz]

Muchísimas gracias Ricardo por esa critica!! :D
Estoy de acuerdo con tu crítica se te agradece mucho. Lo de la profundidad sii jajaja, me pasa mucho eso, me entretengo mucho detallando algunas cosas que luego no ayudan con la profundidad jeje, me pasa casi todo el tiempo.
La botella de vino y los quesos, realmente me inspire en ese thread que me habías recomendado participar, y vi que estaban haciendo ese tipos de objetos con cristal y objetos traslucidos, y utilice la temática para meter la botella de vino y los quesos, objetos que nunca había intentado pintar jajaja, así que bueno fue un ejercicio necesario.
Pero además creo que ayuda con la idea de que en el futuro sin importar cuanta tecnologías nos ayuden siempre estaremos comiendo lo mismo jeje. Bueno esa es mi idea.
Muchísimas gracias otra vez,
Saludos

Grandmassa Mr. Spect : Thanks a lot mate!! bUT I don't think I am thaaat good yet hehe. anyway, I am honored by your words :)

[KromNz]

hey guys!
10 small concepts for a request that I got.

Xella lem, a character I created in another pic (http://kromnz.deviantart.com/art/Three-Deadly-Siths-117554366),
this image about her is still a WIP, But I hope you guys like her.

have a nice day!

[Ricardo Robles]

Muy buenos los estudios de cristal.. ¿porqué no los posteas en el thread?
La chica está chulísima, una mirada penetrante...muy conseguida, como siempre.
quizá falla un poquito la mano.
salu2

[KromNz]

ah muchas gracias! y si esa mano si no quedo, por eso le puse el WIP para recordarme de rehacer esa mano jeje.
claro, me espero intregrarme pronto a ese thread.
saludos :)

[KromNz]

hey guys
well from those 10 little concepts I posted, Zstroyer who requested this pic, chose #9, this whole pic was his idea, from the poses to the location, I just did my best to portrayed it. lol.
have a nice day

[Ricardo Robles]

Madre del amor hermoso, esto es lo mejor que he visto tuyo:D
Esta gente está loca, no dejando ningún comentario.
GUAPISIMO
El cielo super conseguido, el gesto del malo igual, el fondo de módulos y explosiones se sale. NO HAY CLEMENCIA MHAHAHAHA
¿dices que es un trabajo pagado? Pues el cliente debió quedar realmente contento.

Muchísimas gracias, me hiciste el día con tu comentario.!! Si el dueño quedo muy contento según me comento y por lo tanto yo quede feliz como lombriz jajajaja.

Me alegra mucho que te guste la imagen y como siempre es un honor contar con tu visita y tus comentarios.

Update
Doing some studies and fanart at the same time lol.

[X@v.]

WOW! really nice paintings, colors are real joy to watch.
Your detailing is really good.

I just have a lil advice that might be useful, about environments, to apply more atmospheric perspective (lost of details, lost of contrast) would really help your image depths, and would help popping out your beautiful characters even more, that s just my humble opinion.

But anyway you are doing way better than i am, and i love your stuff.
Will come around often :P

PS: thx for posting on my sb.

[Rafal Dorsz]

Hey man, really nice job. It was fun to go back to the first page of this sketchbook and watch it all. You have improved!
Keep going!

[sh1fty]

Awesome stuff man.
Keep it up! :)

[KromNz]

X@v. : thanks a lot for your comment man! . I love your sb and your environment pictures, so I am very glad that you like my sb man. Thank you very much for your advise, I will try to follow what you said for my environment pictures. :D

Gildorek: wow thanks a lot man, I really appreciate your words and for you to check out my pics so far. :) Much appreciated.

sh1fty: Thank you very much.

Hola Ariel! que bueno conocer a mas artistas de México por CA! :D
Bueno yo soy de La Habana, y llevo viviendo en el Estado de méxico desde hace ya un rato jeje ;).
No he tenido la suerte de trabajar "profesionalmente" en el area de pintura digital de forma profesional, aunque te agradezco que lo veas así jeje.

Holy crap, post #133 owns!

Those faces are great, and the girl halfway down on the left side is perfect!

Looks like pro work man.

Boy, get your butt down to the CHOW or DSG section, and start showing off those skills!

Muy bueno!! Los toques de rojo le dan un aspecto chulísimo.:D
Vaya trabajazo de fondo!!
Los brazos quizá podrían ser más entendibles, es mi única crítica jejeje

[KromNz]

Muchísimas gracias!! me alegra que te halla gustado esta imagen.
Si tienes razon jeje, los brazos podrian ser mas extendibles, mi falla esa.

[jigje]

Really enjoyed this book mate. #133 is an epic piece, so well done. Thanks.

[Ricardo Robles]

Este último es "killer" como dicen por aquí.
definitivamente le has pillado el rollo a la pintura digital y desde hace un tiempo todos los que haces son buenísimos. El fondo esta super trabajado, tengo ganas de ver cómo quedan los personajes. ¿van a ser personajes de starwars o inventados?
Lo único que veo es que quizá después tengas que simplificar el terreno un poco, ya que con tanto detalle, quizá (sólo quizá) se desvíe la atención de los personajes. Habrá que ver cómo evoluciona pero va teniendo una pinta brutal, podría servir como poster promocional perfectamente.
un abrazo!

[KromNz]

jigje: thanks a lot man! I am very glad you enjoyed my sb and that pic !! :)


Hola Ricardo!
Aprecio enormemente tus palabras sobre todo porque te considero como un excelente artista!!
Tienes razón también pensé en la cuestión de los detalles del terreno me preocupa si le robe mucha atención a los personajes. Pero bueno a ver cómo con los personajes ya en su lugar.
De hecho como esta pic es un encargo de un guild de Starwars , pues muchos de los personajes los hare basado en descripciones que ellos me dieron, pero igual tendré muchas libertades para los diseños jeje.

un abrazo amigo!

[KromNz]

Inspired after watching some of Naruto tv series and the artbook, I decided to do something based on the World of Naruto.
The guy is an "anime version" of me hehe ;).

[Lateman]

awesome stuff man! realy, this is totally great. just work a bit more on studies and colors aber you totally rock :) mbit would be very nice if your would work mir this texture overlays and some funny custom brushes. keep at it man ... its great!

much probs, l8man

[ariel_medel]

Ese de Naruto esta muy bien! Tambien me encanta tu avatar, es algun personaje existente?

Y espero con ansias cuando termines ese de la nave saliendo de las nubes :D

[Ricardo Robles]

Hola!
Muy buena la gama tonal en este último, me gusta mucho.
Si me permites el comentario, la composición mejoraría si eliminases el pequeño espacio entre el pelaje del lobo y el borde de la imagen.
Por cierto aver cómo sale esa nave, tengo ganas de verla.
muchos saludos!

[KromNz]

Lateman : Thanks a lot for your comment and your advises!
ariel_medel: Hola Ariel! me alegra que te gustara este último, mi avatar a excepción del rostro todo el atuendo está basado en el de Shikamaru (creo que así se llama)

La pic de la nave, bueno pues...todavía le falta un poco pero espero que este fin de semana estén listos los 18 personajes jajaja.

Ricardo: muchas gracias!! ya le hice esa corrección que me mencionaste a la imagen, a ver qué tal. Yo quiero pasar a ver tus nuevos trabajos! que he estado súper inactivo por el concept art.

Muchas gracias amigo!
Saludos

[Leo Ki]

Hola Krom,
No paras de progresar en direccion de un estilo de realismo total, que podrias hacer matte painting!
Aunque a mi me gusta mas el estilo mas relajado como en la imagen del perro narutesco - yo quiero un perro asi para ir de senderismo! :D

[Ricardo Robles]

Bueno perdona, me he liado explicandome y te he liado a tí, jejej ahora veo el foco de atención un poco desviado hacia la izquierda ¿no te parece?
perdona por ser tan poco preciso, me refería a que anteriormente se veía el borde del pelo muy pegado al borde del formato, en recto, y eso no conviene, quizá la solución hubiese sido dar más espacio entre las puntas y el borde, y no quitar simplemente ese espacio. en el caso actual puedes quitarle un trozo a la zona del personaje o bien ampliar por la parte del lobo.
Mis disculpas de nuevo:(
Estamos esperando la nave, la naveeee jajaja

[KromNz]

Muchas gracias Ricardo, no te preocupes no hay problema por mi parte :D todo lo contrario, agradezco enormemente tus comentarios y tus concejos :) y muchas gracias por tu apoyo por la nave jaja, yo creo que ya esta lista.

Hola Leo! muchas gracias, me alegra saber que consideras que he estado mejorando aunque todavía me falta un largo camino que recorrer. jeje. Y también me gusto mucho intentar ese estilo naturesco, fue unas buenas vacaciones hacer esa imagen.

sorry for the watermark ;)

[Ricardo Robles]

wooow!! ha merecido la pena la espera, ha quedado chulísima.
Los personajes muy conseguidos también, me gustan mucho las poses de algunos de ellos, como el que amenaza con la espada hacia adelante. Se nota que tienen que ser estáticos pero al mismo tiempo mostrando su personalidad.
Aver si me lo expicas bien.. ¿esto es para una comunidad de gente qe juega a SW? un clan? muy muy interesante, felicidades.
Envíame un poster!:D

[KromNz]

Muchísimas gracias! me ha alegrado mucho saber que te gustaron ambas imágenes.
y si todos esos personajes son avatares de los representantes del The Black Empire jeje, son un Clan creado para el juego nuevo de Starwars the Old Republic...el cual todavía no sale ...jeje... y ya tiene muchos seguidores.


This is a painting I did last weekend for fun, I wanted to try something "different" and with a girl as the main character.

I hope you guys like this picture and her!

[Ricardo Robles]

Muy muy bueno KromNZ, estás alcanzando un alto nivel de realismo, casi diría hiperrealismo. Las ropas y los detalles están muy bien logrados, aparte de ser muy guapa. El fondo muy bueno también y la composición.
Sigue posteando!!
Great artwork, you´ll always get my support!;)

[KromNz]

Mucísimas gracias Ricardo :D, me alegra enormemente que te guste este último y es un gran honor tener tu apoyo :)

[jatherip]

KICKASS ILLUSTRATION, KromNz! im in love with the lighting!
the eyes though seem to have a bit big distance, probably you should fix that....whatever, i think im not allowed to criticize your stuff, because im soo under your level ;P
keep rockin!

[KromNz]

hey Jatherip, I am glad you like my work man! and thanks for the crit too. Always appreciated.

here is an avatar for Kota from the blackempire.net

[jatherip]

ha, awesome trooper!! btw, is it possible that you like star wars? quiet unsure^^ whatever, fell in love with the helmet, i want mooore!

[KromNz]

ha, awesome trooper!! btw, is it possible that you like star wars? quiet unsure^^ whatever, fell in love with the helmet, i want mooore!

hehe I do love starwars!
Thanks man, I am glad you liked the helmet :D!

This is a 3D model I did to speed things up a bit for another SW pic I was commissioned to do, and it is a good way to get back into posting more 3D work. hehe
The whole scene was made out pretty fast and with around 8k faces, I tried to keep it "simple" since I'll be doing some paintover to add more details ...stuff and the character lol.

note: I have no idea how it will look when its finished...lol

[KromNz]

Some character designs I did over the summer for a personal SW project which is sadly on hold until I have more free time to work on it.

Some of them will have a major role, others or all, would just be extras.

Thanks for your visit!
Have a great day!

[JoshDArtist]

Holy crap wonderful work!!! :d

[Bombur]

Nice designs and poses, man :teeth:

Keep it up!

[Morgado]

Very good designs Aldo, I especially dig the second one. Very neat.

Only crit on these is that the head on the first one is oddly rotated. Also, in general, sometimes your rendiring is too smooth: some "faceting" and hard edges go a long way some times. Hope that helps :)

[Steffler]

Good works in here. Id like to hear about how you bring your models into the scenes.

[KromNz]

JoshDArtist: Thank you.
Bombur: Thank you
Morgado: Thanks David, nice to have ya over here
Steffler: Thanks man, hehe, with trial and error hehe

[ariel_medel]

Hola! Hacia rato que no me daba la vuelta por aqui. Ya vi que completaste la ilustracion de los personajes de SW con la nabe imperial saliendo de las nubes!!! muy buena :D y esa de la muchacha en el campo se ve muy bien, para mi una de las mejores que tienes aqui. cuanto tiempo tardaste en hacerla?

Hi, long time no see. I see you completed the SW illustration with the imperial ship on the background, great stuff. and the girl in the field, amazing, to me one of the best in your sketchbook. how long did it take to do that one?

[KromNz]

Hola Ariel! que gusto tenerte por aca :). me da mucho gusto que te gustaran esas imagenes y la de la chica en particular, ya que tambien es una de mis favoritas. Para hacerla me tomo de 15 a 20 horas. Thanks man.

small update.
An avatar commission created a few weeks ago.

[KromNz]

As a first small project together, we chose to do a group of characters inspired in Halloween. This is my little demon :)
I started out with creating the first 4 character shapes(to the left) and picked up one to do. From there the character took a lot of evolution hehe.

I hope you guys like.

wow, I can see a lot of improvement in only 8 pages. really like your stuff.

[xbert]

great sketchbook they look like everything is painted with real passion! ;)
i especially like the portraits and (!) the boxer piece!!
looking forward to your next sketches

just one little crit:
compared to the overall quality of these images the hair looks a little weak sometimes, you should focus on that

hope to see more in this thread soon! :)

[Kambei Shimada]

Beautiful sketchbook dude,

liking your work alot.

***********************
Ive just started a new sketchbook for 2010 crits would be most appreciated!

hola compatriota! voy a echar una mirada a tu sb, se ve muy bien esta última página, se ve increíble!

your skin tones are really good, those photo studies are well done. One crit. for the last one on post #220 the way you have the guy holding the gun it looks like he's pointing it at her, just some food for thought.

[Ricardo Robles]

Hola Aldo, cuanto tiempo sin pasarme!
La ilustración de los astronautas en el paisaje épico me dejó del revés sinceramente- un giro realmente inesperado y una ilustración con un potencial buenísimo. Por otra parte los edificios están muy bien logrados.
Estas últimas pruebas con pinceles muy buenas también.
Espero ver algún update más, tengo ganas de ver lo que estás haciendo últimamente:)
Saludos!

[KromNz]

Back!! :D
So a yeah ago I moved to Canada from Mexico, to join Vancouver Film school's intense 3D animation & VFX program, we barely have time to sleep but at the end I felt I learned a lot and it was worth it, I made awesome very talented friends and also got a chance to meet many aritists I love, and would love to work with in the future.
Anyway, now one week away from my grad :), I want to get back into my forgotten and still very hungry sketchbook and fill it up with some of the stuff I have been up to this past and present year.

my apologies for you guys for the long reply but better late than sorry.


@ Ricardo: Muchísimas gracias por tu comentario, como siempre un honor tenerte por acá. muchos Saludos.

@ exodusparadigm: thanks a lot for the crit! yeah I noticed that very late ... I was laughing at the mistake.

@ Pixie Trick: Thank you!

@Turbosnail: Thank you so much!

@DHTenshi: HOla! muchísimas gracias, me alegra que te guste el sb! un saludo

@Cameli: lol I dont know man, I try to learn as fast as possible

@Lyno Thank you!

@Kambei Shimada: thank you!

@xbert thank you!! yeah learning how to paint hair its been most challenging...I will keep working at it. :)

@Junpei: thank you!

@ole-x : thank you!

@CarlSpringer: thanks man, yeah I felt that I am still a bit shy when it comes to use colors, with those two I was trying to use more colors, and experimenting.



Ok here are some of the work I did last year starting from the oldest.

*the first one was the last painting I did before going to Canada.

*second another skin tone study.

* the 3 picture, was interesting, It was one of my first assignments in VFS and I had to come up with something really fast. Done in around 10 hrs.

[KromNz]

Over my first term I found myself with lots of free time, and since the school was open 24hrs! well...I went ahead and started practicing some Zbrush sculpting... here is the first result after 8hrs straight lol!

[KromNz]

back in Term 2 we had to do many assignments which actually helped me out a lot in learning more about anatomy, organic shapes and hard surface shapes, characters, vehicles and environment modeling, it was crazy!
here are some pics from my modeling assignments.

the female and the male sculpt were done in a very short time, maybe 6-8 hrs each
Bane took a while longer to do, 2 weeks for him, I built a base mesh in Maya, then took it to Zbrush for sculpting and texturing.
Corsair was done in maya.
and the environment was done in 8 hrs or less. Yeah the school pushes us to be as fast and efficient as we can with our time.

In conclusion I felt I learned a lot in this term.

Check out Bane Turn table here!!! http://vimeo.com/20719549

Thank you for watching

[KromNz]

Term 3 we had to present the teachers with ideas that we would like to go for our final Demo reel! Very stress ful times. but also a lot of fun we bc we go to explore many different Ideas.

These are some rough sketches I did until I found the one I was going for my Modeling demo reel, which is the last.

It was funny bc before I came to VFS I had my idea in my mind about what I was going to do (the witch and the dragon) but once there I had many many others ideas that I would love to do, so I began exploring and concepting ideas, in the end, my love for SCi fi won! while watching Alien (1979) so thats how I got the idea to do the corridor, and from there it grew much larger.

Please check out the link for the Final Animated Storyboard.!!! :D

@ Parsakoira: Thank you very much! Yeah it was my goal to make the 3D be more like a painting, and then I had the challenge of making my paintings be more like the rest of the reel haha. The picture of the Alien its an example of that, the creature is 2d but the environment and the tentacles was in 3D, this was also because I had no time to build the creature in 3D, I only had one day. So making a painting was the fastest solution.

@ LA-Fairy: Thank you!!

@ Hellbeard: thank you!
