doodle after work, after working on above image revisions.

oh, and I changed avatar to the same image I use for most SNS (and at work too...) here's the full version of the former avatar, in case you are wondering where it came from. This is an CD album cover for my writer's band Anarchy Club.:

Hi.
I'm really enjoying your pencil work. Especially of the many legged creatures. It'd be super awesome to see one of them as a finished picture, sometime.
Great job once again! I'll be back for more. Take care now.

[Clur]

Wow, I love your creatures. They're really imaginative,and they've got such personality! The fluidity of the lines in those drawings is very beautiful as well. Makes me want to step it up a notch!

[AdrianNagorski]

Loving your pencil work and paintings not to mention your dedication and the meticulous
time you spend on things, and your faces are so good!!!!

[QPK]

Sooooo AWESOME!!

[Ricardo Robles]

Amazing pencil lines! those female creatures are top notch!

[Vulgar`]

Excellent imagination and most importantly, dedication.

Keep it up!

I really like your pencil sketches, there's great form and vitality in them. Can't really say much about the digitals, they're well done studies but i've been getting fed up with pixels lately some i'm not the best judge. Think i'll be watching this SB from now on, so please keep updating!

[Krane]

Hey thanks for the SB view, surprised you found it buried under all the others

Really great stuff here, I especially love the centaur creatures, feel so raw and believeable.

Currently charging my batteries for the camera so I can update my SB, daunting because of the lack of bulk uploader lol

MORE MORE! :p

[raqmo]

wow what happened? getting more traffic all the sudden?

CarbonBased:howdy! yeah I'm looking forward to do some further concept painting for one of those ladies. come back anytime!

Clur:thanksss! I found doing those creatures is so relaxing. meaning when I relax I draw these weird things. haha

AdrianNagorski: I learned patience to go through tons of revisions in this 5 years at current studio. It's such a luxury not to have a deadline in personal studies...I can go infinite number of revisions till I get it, and it's awesome!

QPK:thanks DUDE! that creature loves cooking, but sometimes she cooks poisonous things too...watch out!

Ricardo Robles:yayyy thank you! I like drawing girls especially when the girls are scary or creepy looking

Vulgar`:dedication is a key to success...for anything. even after I became professional...looking around studio, people who work hard is ALWAYS better than people who doesn't spend time on polishing their skills.

walnut:thanks! and don't hesitate to speak up your first impression even if you are not sure about the subject or techniques. the immediate reaction of viewer is always a good way to examine if my work is valid or not.

Crane:hey welcome! haha charge it up! More! More!

...alright. I've been back at work, so not much time to do personal studies and doodles. here's 2 thumbnails I worked on for the one armed girl side project...(she doesn't look like a girl in these thumbs, but this is first brainstorming, so...EXCUSES!)

...I was feeling down last weekend from some messed up relationship things. I was looking back my old college sketchbooks and found these images. they eventually became this Degree Project animation, KUJIRA.
There's something about those loose drawings that's so "me"...I just felt it's worth posting those here while I'm recollecting my own personal style in doing art...

too much going on and not enough time to chill and study...
I started trying Artrage. I have no idea how to use oil, but I think I'm getting the hang of it...
