yall got the madd action in this one sooooo gggooooooooooooddddddddd i hope you keep play'n w/ it cause yall hit paydirt an i cant wait to see some more enviros' cheers'

[Josef K.]

awesome work man! the latest envio rocks! love this concept! - keep rockin man! never heard of ArtRage - is it worth a try?

[Eon]

Artrage is giving your digital work a real oil paints look! I think the way the brushstrokes remain unblended on the elephant give it a lot more character than if it had been smooth. Props on the water for that enviro, tough task!

[Sorknes]

That last one is really good, a step forward! The orange and blue doesn't have that muddy look at all and the strokes are really neat, you should keep going at mixing mediums

[mariusz]

Hi man!

I like your last enviroment paintng. Great feeling of traditional media use. This is the effect I'm looking for in my paintings. I try ArtRage but this program doesn't offer so much freedom in mixing paintng like PS, so I decline. Maybe I must back to this program and try it again.

cheers

Slash: Thanks bro! Just got the full version of ArtRage at the office yesterday.. hehe.. Suddenly I can add thinners to my paint! *geekout*

max1975: Thanks for the crits and thoughts! I'll have a look at dividing the larger shapes and post an update!

Spect: Thanks, homes! Yeah, I'll do more of those fo' sho'! Starting to like doing enviros.. hehe

Josef K.: Glad you like! ArtRage is a soopah cheap program (full version for 25$) that simulates traditional media... and yeah.. definately worth a try! I love it! Here's the URL for the homepage.. they have a free version to download as well: Ambient Design

Eon: Thanks! Yeah, I kinda liked the chunky feel too

Sorknes: Thanks Sorky! There's gonna be more ArtRage coming from this corner

mariusz: Yeah, I revert to Photoshop for the stuff that ArtRage can't handle.. so it's often a mix of the two. ArtRage is so much lighter than Painter.. and I kinda like that the options are kinda limited. The full version supports layers and blending modes and imports/exports .psd files, so it meshes really nicely.

Ok.. a few sketches.. was outta country with my girlfriend for a screening of a bunch of shorts on the London Film School.. was an awesome, tight scheduled trip.. Big sorry to the CA people in London.. I wanted to meet all of you guys, but I didn't have time at all.. full throttle all day and we collapsed at the hotel every night.. heh.. Got a few sketches in though..





























Thanks for stopping in everyone! Really appreciate the comments

[Grandmassa Mr. Spect]

freak'n rad every time tha hac is wicked an the sketches are on piont characters enviros paints sketches yall gunna bring down the house lets see some moe'

damn i love that thing, you're a great painter but that one in particular you take it even further cause its really lovable. something about the colors. alright on second look the colors are fleshy and sexual and maybe... i need to get a grip on my mind lol

[Eon]

Bad Muthafucka! lol. Nice updates. I like the humor in your sketches like the banana and this one.

I don't understand what's happening with the hand on the left side. Did you forget to paint it while rushing or am I totally missing it?

[dCepT]

Hey ya'll! Just poppin' in to post this. Thank you all for the replies! I'll get back to ya asap!

like it green colour scheme (heh) is more coherent and makes more sense for underwater scenery. perhaps use white stripes on the red for more agressive state? e.g. since you can't see red itself that well under water. (change to orange?)

[hp]

last concept is really neat. your concepts are getting a lot better.

for some of the sketches of the lamppost and stuff a while back, i would watch the middle parts of your sketches. for instance the outline of the lamppost looks good but the middle is kind of confusing.

[Nettle_Mountain]

Ilustration and speedpainting enviroment shows clear improvement, more 3 dimensional aspect in form i think would make them more better (in perspective)

more

[dCepT]

grenapples: Hahaha.. Awesome! Cool to see it resonated that much with ya! Sexual or not Thanks!

Eon: Yeah, it's a blooper.. hehe.. Glad you like the sketches!

Carnifex: Thanks for the input, and the image! Makes a lot of sense! I'll try an orange and white thing on it for sure.

hp: Thanks! Good crit! Think it might be my tendency to jump straight into rendering that's the culprit for the centre areas getting a bit.. unreadable.. I'll keep it mind!

Nettle Mountain: Thanks! I'll try to get more stuff in there that describes the perspective better.

Warmup with ArtRage It's just a turtle.. from reference.. I'm trying to get a bigger mental library of creatures, so a study seemed appropriate.. hehe..

[Eon]

I like that vivid palette in that last piece and how you often maintain that painterly look in your digital work. Wicked idea with the war octopus!

[Sorknes]

Busy man! Hehe. I totally love that sea turtle.

Keep a lil eye on your peopleses though. suddenly you have a little of that stiff pose thing on in several of your sketches there.... Keep it loose and build on it!

[Chris Noeth]

I really like your work but whenever I'm looking through your sketchbook I have the feeling you should put some more time on each piece. Maybe you are concentrating to much on quantity instead quality. I think some extra time (or slower creation of each piece) could bring your art to a totally new level.

Best,

Chris

[Josef K.]

awesome updates man! hehe the last one makes me happy - sea turtle love! the heavy attack crab is cool as well. thx for the artrage link - i'll definitely check it out! keep rockin man!

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Woo man! Keep up the good work. DO MORE STUDIES

-E

[hp]

dude what happened to updates?

[dCepT]

Eon: Thanks man! The painterly thing is fairly recent though.. haha.. only got that in there after discovering ArtRage

Sorknes: Thank you! Appreciate the crit! I need to get into more studies.

Chris Noeth: Yep! You're absolutely right! I'll try to think quality instead of quantity.. I need to make a jump up with my work. Thanks for the kick!

Josef K: Thanks dude! Where have you gone on twitter though? I haven't seen an "Artist inspiration" link in ages

maxetormer: Glad you like, hermano! Hope you're settling in nicely up in Canada! I really need to get on MSN and harrass you.. haven't talked to you in ages.. haven't talked to any CA'ers lately.. I suck.. being busy is not a valid excuse.. hah..

Augmenton: Thank you!

Spect: yooooo! Sorry for being away for so long! Been painting Can't show a lot of it, but I've got an image dump fo' yo' ass right here!

Mischeviouslittleelf: Thanks for the asskickin'! I'm well aware.. heh.. studies comin' up!

hp: Yeah.. updates have been.. neglected for a while.. Been busy (lame excuse)..here's an update to make up for it!

Ok, ya'll.. I'm really sorry for being so negligent of my SB, and CA in general.. I'm gonna make my rounds to all of you as soon as I've posted some pictures! Keep kickin' my ass about updating though!


Right.. this is a mix of a couple of pieces that'll be used (the profiles with the feathers and such, and the red dressed chick), sketches made for my own or for projects and for studies Some I'm happy with, some are crap, but I'll just post a bunch for you guys.. heh.. Hope there's something worth looking at! Appreciate any and all crits and comments!
