New Stuff

[thebeetle]

Hi everyone,
It's been a long time that I haven't post stuff.
These are my recent illustration, all made with Photoshop on a blank canvas and lots of brushes work. Materials created with brushes, and not with photo textures. For composition, I used a preliminary sketch made in photoshop or with pencil for "Twins" for exemple.
Also, if you have time and if you wants to follow my new artwork, you can find others works on my blog
C&C are welcome, I hope u like it!

wow cool stuff...and nice brush work, really like your style, the only minor crit I have is the el gato....(the cat eh:P) logo doesnt really fit the style of the pics...Is it your logo?...and is it intended for these pics or just as a watermark?.....Id suggest mabe texturing it up if you want to use it on the finished images, or mabe going with a different style logo (something like a more traditional japanese stamp). Its a minor thing, but thats what i think....other than that-awsome awsome work:)

Thanks for your critics!
It's right, the logo "el gato", it's really a problem, I think I change it for other thing, may be for a japanese logo, it's a good idea!
Thanks

Love the first image, except for the ladies hair. IMO it needs for the pink linework to at least continue up her right side (our left) and finish off the seperation from the background - like the rest of her body. The hair on our right side can get away with blending into the background I think. But to just stop the pink line at her hair just looked odd.

The last 'Twins' picture is OK, but the really heavy white border is killing the piece for me. The border design is good, but far to heavy and important. The image itself is taking a back seat to the high contrast and bold lines of the border.

If the border was as thick as the box with the text 'twins' in it, it would tie the two images together and not be as distracting.

I really like the detail in the face of the first piece. The dragon floating across the image is a great touch. This is definitely the strongest piece out of the rest.
