[Prehistoric]

ok, here's the first post of my online sketchbook.

more to come.

first, on the left is "angel playing the lute" by Albrecht Durer, c. 1497.
on the right is my "copy" of it.



and a few other things:

Holy crap!

Man... if this is what you start with, I can't imagine what you finish with! That rendition of Durer's piece is incredible! I love that style you have! Awesome first impression, man.

I'm subscribing for sure.

Welcome to CA, and please, PLEASE keep posting!

Hey, it was awesome meeting you! I love your works here, you have some real skill and some cool ideas. I can't wait to see more. I'm going to head over to your finished works now that you mentioned posting. See you the next time we're both at sketch night.

Great start to your new sketchbook! It was cool to meet you the other night at the Seattle Sketch group. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of new drawings from you.

[Prehistoric]

here is some still life stuff from school.

and some paintings.

[David York]

Beautiful. I love being able to look at the same composition twice, once in color and once in value. I like your shadows and highlights very much. I look forward to creating work this cool in time. Thanks for posting these.

[Siobhan]

I've seen you sneekin around some other sketchbooks, thought I'd check yours out. You're a tough critiquer, but lookin at your work, you have the right! Your work is very thurough and then, you got some sketchy stuff too. Variety is good. Keep it up. ---Sio

[Prehistoric]

here are some pages from my sketchbook from working on the Thunderdome picture.



an environment sketch.



and a couple sketches i did while watching "Troy".

[cburt]

prehistoric, this stuff is lookin pretty good..your rendering is very nice and smooth and you have a very definite style going on. i like your latest characters because i love the arabian feel, its something i like to incorporate into my work often...such a great culture hahaha...those paintings look pretty good too, i like the first one a lot and the second one is nice but looks like a couple objects could use a little more work. nice stuff, keep it up

[Prehistoric]

hey cburt,

thanks for checking out my stuff. i had a lot of fun working on my Thunderdome drawing. though i think i'm happier with my sketches than my finished piece. i'll try to post up the finished Thunderdome drawing soon, but you can check it out Here for now.

keep checkin', i'll keep postin'.

[Prehistoric]

here's my Thunderdome drawing



and some more recent drawings

[Shylone_Breath]

yes very good sutff ! i love your paintings!

[David York]

Your thunderdome drawing ruled your competition. Good job on that. I love the ideas behind your work. I would love to see a concept painting, I think you could do really well at that!

BTW - I swung by Utrect (awesome store) and they mentioned that you don't work there anymore. Should I have known that? Anyway, take it easy.

[Prehistoric]

thanks david, there were some issues, but i was generally pleased with my thunderdome drawing. and by the way, i haven't worked at Utrecht for over a year now, but that's cool. it's still the best art supply store.

as for concept painting, i really need to transfer my traditional painting skills into the digital realm. i'm currently bidding on a wacom tablet on ebay, and if i get it, expect to see a lot more digital scribbles here in my sketchbook. the other night at my friend's place i did my first wacom drawing EVER. it was a weird experience, and even though it's nothing to show off, i'm posting what i did here.

hope to see ya at sketch night soon.

[klinesmoker]

Great sketchbook here, and you have a very strong control over values, something I really appreciate. Keep it up!

[spicy meatballs]

Love your paintings as well as your sketches! It was cool meeting you at vittas on friday. Keep up the awesome work!

[plsangel]

really nice renderingyour pencil strokes are soft yet confident. I'm kindof partial to the angel but I also really like your 1/2 machine self portrait (I'm guessing that's you) and the robot drawings...and like chris said, your use of values is great

[klinesmoker]

COME ON! COME ON! COME ON! COME ON! MORE NOW! I demand it! I thought I'd reiterate that your confidence in shading still amazes me!
GARRRRRR!!!! Haha, those are fun.

[Prehistoric]

klinesmoker, i'm on it man!

i've got some stuff in the book ready to scan, but as to the fact that i have no scanner, i'm at the mercy of my friend's computers.

i've got a local sketch night tomorrow night, so look for an update on sunday or monday.

ember - thanks for stopping by. glad to see this myspace thing actually working. see, i even used your real name

[Prehistoric]
