First I was gone for months, now I am practically flooding the forums


Been in love with arabic tales since I saw Disney's Aladdin as a kid. (also Prince of Persia 1 & 2 might have something to do with it, but if those two aren't the most frustrating games in the universe I don't know what are ).

This is a concept drawing for an arabic love story of betrayal and courage (Mr Trailer announcer is visiting me, repeat on a low voice "An Arabic love story of Betrayal and Courage" ). I'm pretty satisfied of how it turned out.. though it could use a lil refining here and there.





Environmental mood scribble:






The only reason this scribble exists is to remind me of the mood of the world.. I like to include my stories in images because it's faster to "read" than text (for me as the author. I remember what I was thinking when I painted it by looking at strokes or differencet parts of the image.. hard to explain really). And I don't write that well anyway. Someone please give me 60 million USD so I can stop doing these miserable sketches and direct a feature film 25 million and I'll make a game.. oh wait they've already done that.. kthanxbye

love the strong blues you used in both of them. I can't say i particularly like the ground in the first picture, as the flat horizontal plane trailing into the distance is distracting from the figure. but i love the background in the second, excellent job on the clouds, and nice atomspherics on the castle/city, it has a great sense of depth. I love the sense of light in both of them.

Think some more warm colors in the mood scribble could help it out, just my taste and thought though and maybe not what u are going for, thought I could tell u anyway hehe.
U are really onto something with the drawing, me really likes.

This took a while.. 5-6 hours non-stop action and my hand hurts.. Carpal tunnel syndrome I'M HIER! COME OM! Git to da Choppah! ..watched Predator recently, Ahnold is my hero. (actually I have Arnold piece in progress and I'm absolutely stuck with it, might post it in the WIP board - it's about the crusades)


Dark Crystal influence is apparent (especially in the ring clouds)





Max, Thankee!
