I think this is a good sketch. I like the detail and lines in the face.

I like the characterizations and the illustrations for the most part, but the effect breaks down at the coloring stage....it just seems to fall short imo. One example I can point out in the first one ...

The goat is really good - i enoy the splash of blue Did you have a reference on this as well?

This is the earliest one I could find -several years old, I am pretty sure its the first, and if its not its a close second for sure. It was based off a reference I found in a Commarts mag - a cover o ...

I definitely like the new direction you are taking. The image has a photorealsitic feel without actually looking like a photo graph 'fantasied up'

The scene and characters/subjects are very well r ...

Very nice I like it as well. He has alot of character and its rendered very well. I like the subtle back light. Smile

Keep up the good work.

I used a photo I took of my father last year as reference for this digital painting, I plan on giving it to him for his birthday. Because I have never painted an older person before I managed to inadv ...

You are truly and wonderfully talented. Smile

You never fail to amaze me. I love how you interpreted the pose from all the refs and made something fantastical...very imaginitve and the image is captivati ...

Nicely done, and great use of color!

Individually the background and the subject are rendered very well, and your style and talent seems to have improved a great deal from when I first saw your stuff many eons ago at a lil forum called P ...

No, sorry the spearhead looks fine, its the pennant flapping about - There something odd, not necessarily the way it was rendered but perhaps the composition of it, how it relates to the spear and the ...

I am sure you hear this every time you post work: WOW!

Beautiful paintings, I am a big fan of this style of "brush work" wether it be fantasy or not. Beautiful stuff. Your gallery at epilogue.net w ...

Considering the subject and the deformation, I dont think there will be any anatomy objections. Smile

Nice work...disturbing but good nonetheless.

Thats pretty good for a first attempt. I think what I like about it is the fact it doesnt have the typical comic style digital color feel to it.There is some texture which is nice.

Where it lacks ...

Yes I agree, this is a nice painting. I also agree with the sig suggestion too. Such a natural looking medium (even though it was done digitally) deserves a more hands on signature. Smile

Cheers.

Wow. Amazing start, and I honestly think you should take this doodle to the next step...I would love to see the finished piece. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I love it. Well done. Its gestural yet 'tight'.

Cheers.

I like them both...although tactically speaking the first (agreeing with cptoonz) one is more effective but I like the shine onthe second one aesthetically speaking. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Nice work man. Superb. The final pic is greater than the sum of its parts. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I really am in awe.

very nice indeed. are any of these sketches adaptations from a reference, i.e. photo or otherwise?

Yeah, thanks for sharing man. Nice work. It's inspirational to wannabes like myself. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I am a big fan of Rick Berry, Frazetta, Brom, Justin Sweet and the ilk...now I must ...

Absolutely wicked illustration, love the expression and the stance is great!

The background and overall design(fonts, etc) could use a bit more consideration but thats just being nitpicky. images/sm ...

LOL, yeah the flag thing, I was really limited to the two colors for the stripes images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

At first I didn't recognize him, but its been so long since I have seen that movie. The ear is what really identifies him for me now that I recognize him. I really like the lighting and color in this ...

I seem to remember the reference photo from a book jacket(back) or something. Nice and simple render. Yeah the smoke could use some work as it would certainly add to the atmosphere of the image. ima ...

Thanks for the comments and crits guys.

Its good to get a new set of eyes on this. images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Swany: No I didn't just add smoke, I colored this from the ground up. I have never seen the colored version Joe Mad posted here, the only one I saw was the one on his site...which quite frankly looks ...

Saw the line art by Joe MAD and had to color it.
