[robogabo]

>>>
trying to start doing more
overhead views
i should had introduced a lot
more bouncelight in that spaceship
on the shadow areas oh well

[Victor B]

Freekin fantastic gabo love the color and edge contrasts your playing with while atmosphere could have perhaps pushed the distance/space between the planes I think I works without it + I can't belive what you're putting out as "doodles" the amount of elements the details, props my friend!

[robogabo]

vctr: yeah i actually added some atmosphere
cause there where some darks on that background
that where poping a lot, but maybe i should had
pushed a lot more :-S , thanks for writing victor

lunch doodle

[Idiot Apathy]

Hrm, your server is down gabo?

[+ONE]

Um, I was wondering... It seems like you add noise to all of your sketches. Is that intentional? If so, why?

Love your stuff by the way, I wish I could weild brushes as you do.

[robogabo]

Idiot Apathy: seems to be ok now,
but dude i dont know what happens
my wife has the same hosting service
and her sketchbook thread always seem
to load the images i just dont know ill look
into it to see if i can make it less flakey

+ONE: well i dunno i guess i like the noise
effect, altough i usually just add it to this
sketches not the ones i do at the studio,
i hope it doesnt look like cheesy for you
i might not have good taste for photoshop filters

lunch doodle, trying not to make
just side view ships

[Idiot Apathy]

I think the noise is good, breaks up large areas of color and adds interest. It works best with those most photographic, especially nice when there is a mecha

I'm not sure it would work as well if it were more painterly or a photo texture, but try out soft light layers if you get curious

Keep on rocking gabo

[Sammy]

very awesome sketchbook here --- such a great understanding of color and rendered forms !

[robogabo]

Idiot Apathy: i agree, all this sketches
have large areas of same color and it
helps break those i mean add little
variation, good point Tom :-D you a
library of knowledge

Sammy: Hey dude thanks !! ive always
liked your work and your dedication is
inspirational i remember seeing you
practice comp thumbs at austin
your work has grown to new heights

[blog]

I hate you...


I must agree with one of tom's earlier crits where he said he'd like to see you tackle some more finished stuff, u know, push yourself kinda thing. Cause at the moment u kinda seem to be doing this stuff without a sweat. Now I suppose that defeats the purpose of a 'sketch' book, but yeah.


thats just a personal request though I suppose, keep rocking man!

[Idiot Apathy]

Mmm mm mm, wow that's cool.

[cubesoflard]

Hey man, just letting you know that your perspective is dynomite. Your undustrial designs are very impressive also. I would like to see more of your character designs. From what I've seen, they look really sick.

[robogabo]

blog: thanks for writing, well i cant come up
with any excuse except i have more fun doing
this quick ones , i spent lots of hours
on the ones i do at the office and at the end
they all look so stiff and boring to me
they loose the spark, by doing this speed ones
i wanna be able to keep it going
at a point where i just have to do mindless retouchs
that take lots of hours thats my goal,
but again ill keep your opinion in my mind all the time :-)

Idiot Apathy: thanks Tom :-D,
stop watching my crappy sketches its harmful
for your artistic senses
might hurt your eyes

cubesoflard: alright ill try push
some more characters
seems almost everybody around here
kicks my butt doing that
theres no reason
;__; ill never be as good,
again thanks for writing !!!

PFfffffffahahahahahha, yeah right. Sir Gabriel is one of my favorite influences! If I had half the talent ...

freehand spaceships, is a different
control on the design phase, somehow
the friction of the paper helps in some way
i dunno is different from doing this
all digital doodles but still fun and good
challenge , i might quick render all this for
portfolio someday pld:

trying do more front 3/4 stuff, i dunno
my brain just goes directly to side view or something
so gotta try more fronts or tops . .what about
a dramatic down view . . . . i should shut up

[Idiot Apathy]

Nahhhh, don't ever shut up! Write a novel each post if you have something to say, I for one love reading your thoughts.

By the way, you ever use SketchUp? Basically 3d sketching, really good for buildings I think. Google has a free version; http://sketchup.google.com/

[robogabo]

Idiot Apathy: yeah i use that software
is very handy , actually i found the link
here on conceptart :-D
