Some after work doodle...

[Eerin]

I love the latest update; lovely color scheme, not to mention that there's nothing cooler than huge skull masks

Your work is so fantastic, I wish you would update more

[monotony]

kickass work you did for faith and a 45. the scene with car looks especially nice.
In that enviro with futuristic planes you posted before that it's a bit hard to tell the distance between the very foreground and the big station in the midground.
maybe you could play with the saturation and contrast a bit to seperate them some more.
but amazing work really
the girlportrait and the demon are awesome!

[staticpen]

I've gotta say, your color selection and subject matter are just super. Great stuff!

[Rostas]

Hey Mikael ,epic sketchbook ,and you have a great style,I love the harmony in your colors and how they blend perfectly.I hope you get better than this and post more ,I really love your portraits and environments,keep being epic and all the good wishes for you! Cheers!

[Mikael Leger]

Eerin thanks, I really dig the direction you're sketchbook is heading. Sweet stuff! Thanks monotony, the enviro you mention was a bit tricky. I wanted to get a RTS fell to it... like small landscape and oversized units... Regardless you're so right about saturation control to create depth. I'll keep it in the back of my head. thank you staticpen. Rostas Thanks a lot for kind words.

I initially wanted to do that one for the CHOW back in February. But for some reason I ended up been so fucking busy with work this particular week that I had to abandon all hope of getting any personal work done. It's got clone troopers, twi'lek, lightsaber and generous cleavage. What more do you need?

[LisandroG]

really nice paintings on the first page

good work

[Nadiamoon]

Great sketchbook! Like the variety of your stuff and sense of composition. thnx for swinging by!

[Untouched24]

Amazazing stuff man. You have some really cool concepts and pieces in here, I especially like the portraits.

[sourgasm]

man, i love that triceratops head piece. really cool stuff there.

it actually kinda reminds me of that conan spoof comic by the mad magazine guy. i can't recall the name of the comic, but hopefully you know what i'm talking about

great work!

[DStraX]

this wish i could +fav it

[PieMonster]

Amazing man, the 2 recent paintings are really cool, especially the triceratops guy.
It looks like there's something weird going on in the torso area though, as if he needs more of a back or something. (:

[Verehin]

Great! Im glad to subscribe)

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Great first post, and I like most of the things after that, the faces in paticular are great, and some of the other stuff is really nice and painterly, but I think the Twi'lek thing is a little stiff, even if the clevage is damn good^^

-E

[Lyno]

Great stuff Mikael! Keep things going

[kelly x]

It's got clone troopers, twi'lek, lightsaber and generous cleavage. What more do you need?=that's all I needed, thanks!!! and you forgot saying something about the brilliant colors?? Thanks

[Icecold]

I love the softness of your works, you know how to use it to not destroy the overall quality, but the airships in the autumn valley or whatever it is well i think you picked abit wrong colours for that because the image dont speak to me ( shush i'm not crazy! )

Best wishes, `Ice

[JesArt]

MORE PLEASE MORE, iam studying your style

[Muscari]

you have some amazing concepts man. that last guy with the bone helmet is just awesomely interesting

wanna see your next update xD

[TheDirtSyndicate]

fucking killer sketchbook dude... wow
5 stars from me
could we see some process shots?

[Teundeboer]

That Sith Lord has special hypnotic powers (im talking about her hooters)
Cool stuff

[Mikael Leger]

Thanks for the feedback everybody.

LisandroG, Nadiamoon,Untouched24 thanks for the kind words.
Sourgasm thanks dude. Actually I don't know that comic yet... but google is my friend.
Thanks DStraX.
PieMonster Yea, the torso could use more refining and the proportions are a bit wonky. Glad you still like it.
Thanks Verehin.
Mischeviouslittleef Totally agree. The more I want to refine a painting the harder it get to keep the informations organized. Thanks
Merci Lyno.
Kelly X Thanks, I'm a fan.
Ha ha ha thanks Icecold yea colors are funky on that one.
JesArt, Muscari thanks a lot.
The DirtSyndicate Thanks dude. Good idea so I don't have to post blank. he he he, lazy me.
Ha ha! Teundeboer Thanks, I was thinking about Hsien-Ko from Darkstalker when painting those!

Ok there a small update. Got some new HI-TEC and been given a hug to my Moleskine. Weird... Since I started working, I've barely touched real paper. I've also added some process shots from the last two digital. You can see how the triceratops head dude went really smooth and how the Twi'lek girl was a total struggle. I remember at one point my girl looking at the painting in progress and going something like "Whaaa! It's so ugly! Look at it! Her face the colors, Yak! just fix it, it's really not good." Got to love her, she's my own personal QA.

[Gabriel_Cunha]

Love your stuff man very inspiring. keep drawing!
