You know what I miss seeing here? Visual storytellers.
One thing that made Spooge special was the fact he didn't just paint cool images--he told stories with his images. There were premises with characters in the middle of something, not just cliched armored futuristic soldiers in various scenes or some ultra wide-angle shot of some sci-fi/fantasy scenery. Sure, he did those too, but those were just a fraction of what he did.
I always felt that if you're going to spend the time working on an image for yourself, why not make them tell stories? One thing I see so rarely around here is good visual storytelling with real emotional weight or intruguing premise. |
Yup, but this is not the place for Final renders, I see this place for speed art, fast sketches, exercices, that lead the artists to get better skills and do amazing pictures  and yes, post something dude!

So I finally got my modbook shipped and I�m starting to doodle on it around the house. Fun to do some live painting again.

Thanks guys!
I think it�s pretty sweet Lakka. The first thing I noticed when I started to use it was that I was suffering severely from having no shortcuts. So one of the first things I did was to buy one of these.
It�s been a dream since I connected my new 1337 fps mini keyboard and set up my usual workflow shortcuts on it. The only thing that I�m a little bit dissapointed with is the reflection on the screen, so when you�re outside then you really have to pick some heavely shaded ereas to sit in, but I guess it�s like that with all laptops. We�re just going to have to wait a few years till OLED screens are a standard. |

Why does visual storytelling have to be tightly rendered?
It's unlikely I'll be doing any artwork for a while. Like I said, I'm now concentrating on being a composer.

thanks guys!
alot of eye catching ones!
I need to make drawing a daily habit as sometimes I have problems realizing my ideas. Its hard to work loose and interesting because my eye wants that little bit of detail to catch on, and its tricky getting it to fit in in a good way.
