Take a break from my painting...and all
Back to my root...anime type stuff. Mad

Havn't draw like that in a while.

"First Child:......Lucifer"

Here is a painting I am working on, I am trying really hard to finish her.

I am gonna leave it like this for a few days. Then come back and finish her off.

HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!

I love that first pic!
Did you use blue pencils? I think so.
I have been searching for those pencils for months, can't find 'em. Rare stuff here in Austria!!

Second pic is quite nice too but the the "First Child" pic just has alot of emotion - unique.

Max>> My fav artist is here! "MAX" Happy New Year! Miss seeing your stuff.
Love that latest cityscape you did. Yeah, I have a stock pile of 'Blue' and 'Tuscan' pencils. Love them because they are waxy and smooth. I used to be a 2D animator so I used them all the time. Havn't been drawing much lately 'cuz I am learning how to paint. Too much to learn and try to catch up with things.

Go online and find some art suppply store, I am sure they have it. YOU will love it.
Thanks for the comment buddy!

Matthew

Xia: wow, I am your fav artist in here? Very Happy

Thanks anyway, I fell honoured!!
Happy New Year to you too!!!!
I should paint more Very Happy

I am a lazy bastard Cool

Thanks for the tipp! Let's see if I can find some....

You used to be an 2d animator - now that's cool
I am very interested in that kind of art! for film?? commercial??

Matthew: hmm,...maybe when it's more advanced, still a very..ah..boring pic

Post more of your stuff XIA, please.

Matthew>> I will try to finish her as good as I can. It's difficult to make finished painting for me, it seems slow and I usually got bored before it's done. You too keep up the good work. You work ethic and persistance is unbeatable.

Max Kulich>> Yes, dear. You are one of my most fav artists here! Thanks, Now you are stretchin it about me. Why is the most talented ones also the most humble ones? The stuff you came up with are pretty Unique and filled with imagination/ great execution. Stuff that me myself would never be able to come up with. You and people around SpeedPainting thread has inspire me and make me a better artist than I was. Keep up the great work! I will be waiting.
I was an animator for small game company in Seattle, we work for Disney Interactive in BC. That my first art job ever for almost two year, it was fun...just draw and draw from key frames to in between all day. Then other people will clean them up and color them. But now I am a 3D modeller/texture artist for different company. Someday, I would love to just paint all day long...as of now I am still learning how from you guys and great artists around me.
And your mountain? Show me, I wanna see!!! or at least send me the link.

And here is the project I am currently working on

btw XIA, you said something about the computer re-booting in the speedy earlier, I am having the same problem and for me the harddrive seems to be broken, perhaps there are more faults in my computer. Anyway, this seems to be a common fault in the computers nowadays so I am curious if you managed to fix the problem and what you did to fix it?
I guess I need a new harddrive though, have to start saving money now I guess before the computer totally cracks down.

very cool to hear about your career there, that animating feeling can really be seen in the dynamic in your characters, also the poses has a lof of rhytm in them, that�s what I really like in the characters you are doing. Smile

I also wanna paint all day and I hope I can make a living out of it sometime in the future when I have been finished with me studies.

oh yea post more of those anime characters if you are doing anymore new ones.
Keep up the good work XIA-dude and I see you in the speedy. Smile

XIA: check your PMs Very Happy

Matthew: Try different formations. Fat32 or NTFS. I had Fat32 and alot of errors, then I changed it to NTFS the problem was fixed....otherwise buy a cheap 80GB or 120GB drive. More than enought for photoshop and some games. Good luck

Matthew · Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2004 6:58 am

Max, ah yea I might try with that, thank you Maxinator. Very Happy

later
Matthew

XIA · Posted: Mon Jan 05, 2004 11:30 am

Matth + Max>> Sorry guys, I forgot that I post something in this forum.

Matthew>> Thanks for the comment there. Well, I am not a really good animator to be honest, not enough passion (Really important element in this field). I used to want to be comic book artists really bad, but it just ends up that way. Wink

About my computer, it's a fan problem, the IBM guy suppose to come fix it sometime soon.

Max>>Thanks buddy, I will check it now.
Very Happy

ME! 'cause I don't even have a girlfriend, never had....

Cool stuff XIA, I dig those alot. It's the expression again.
Keep 'em coming mate!!!

XIA · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 12:10 am

Hey guys!!!!! Sorry for the late reply. I've been busy getting drunk and get beat up by a bunch of young hot female. Young hot females these days are so angry for some reason. Should I blame it on TV or Hollywood? Maybe VideoGames?

Matthew>>Thanks buddy! Me? Tell me about it! I am there all the time. pretty used to it. Me love getting dumb and rejection! It awesome! Just be as honest and as sincere as you can...I am sure they will like U. Be confident, don't ever put yourself down! We artists are way cooler than RockStars...we can only gets better, but they don't usually do. U wll be awesome artist someday and then they will have to beg for it. Woot Woot! Sorry I've been slacking...havn't stop by in Speedy in a while.

Neff>> Yes, even the hottest thing in the world will get turn down. Ha ha ha

Max Kul>> Thanks, my advice...it kinda bad. Don't get a girlfriend...they will consume your time like crezy. She will always wanna hang and do stuff...not cool. I would say get a hot friend with benefit, is way better. (I am just kidding! Girlfriend are not bad, but they are time consuming and they are just so angry all the time.) I got those pics u send, Pretty damn awesome, great job!!! Thanks a lot. Keep Up the great work! Been busy sorry...I will reply soon.

Max · Posted: Sat Jan 10, 2004 3:22 am

XIA: hehe, yeah,...I can imagine! Well, I don't even try to get one. I am just sitting at home, sharpening my skills all day long - that makes me a freak for all the ladies out there Very Happy

I am not normal. People at my age normally get drunk on saturdays and hang out in some bars and stuff...

Thanks. but now you are overdoing it Very Happy

Just take your time XIA!!

XIA · Posted: Thu Jan 15, 2004 9:12 pm

Max>>I am glad U won't forget me LOL... My process steps is like all over the place, almost like no planing. I actually did plan, it just that I change my mind a lot. LOL.

Here is a quick sketch of some chic I found on the web. I thought she is freaking hot!!! Can't resist to do..uh draw her.

I like your emotion in the drawings... it shows alot of action and your every line tells a story. Very nice

Nice one!

But be careful with the shading. It looks abit,..let me say "confusing"
Try to shade WITH and not against the form and keep clear strokes.

I ain't better thought, I just talk about theory all the time...hehe
Keep up the good work XIA

XIA · Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2004 9:49 pm

Armadon>> Thanks. People often mention that about my stuff...I guess that's a good thing? They are kinda goofy like me I guess.LOL

Max>> Thanks buddy! Yes! U are axactly right...I have to improve on that shading thing. I was wondering what was wrong with the pic. Now it's all clear up. Where were U when I was sketching this?!!! Thanks dude.
