WAR WITCH sketch

[Misty Feather]

Wow-- Simply gorgeous. The movement and form in this is very appealing. Keep it up!

[Charles Ratteray]

Misty Feather- thank you ! yes i hope to do some more types of designs using this graphite approach....its gives it so much different depth than digital sketches

[Misty Feather]

Misty Feather- thank you ! yes i hope to do some more types of designs using this graphite approach....its gives it so much different depth than digital sketches

I agree-- There's something very raw and free about traditional work. You handle digital in a very traditional way, though, so you should be pleased with what you've accomplished, I think.

[Charles Ratteray]

thank you much

Your stuff is super stylish. It makes me realize I really need to up my game, too. Thanks for the inspiration

[blue-magpie]

Wow, just checked out your TMNT storyboard. It's great work, I love how you capture the momentum of that scene.

That War Witch design is also fab - I like how you capture his design with only a few shapes (at least to my untrained eye).

Looking forward to seeing more of your work, until then, I'll just have make to do with this thread

[Charles Ratteray]

blue-magpie - Awesome! thank you so much
