Thx for continuously stepping by my SB and trying to push me in new directions (be aware I'm a stubborn middle-aged man - approaching 35 - though and might not be that easy to teach new things)

. If you don't mind telling, I'm curious to know how old you are?

I almost exclusively do my digital work in ArtRage3Pro, trying to resemble traditional techniques. Don't feel at home with custom brushes and textures - if I can't paint it it shouldn't be in my picture. I only use PS for post-painting adjustments.

Have you got any advice (or speedpaint video) from a more traditional point of view?

Anyway, thanks again for taking time and trying to steer me away from the same old comfortable route. And congrats on your inclusion in the tutorial book.

@JoseVega : Thanx man this is what I'm tryin' to do, hard time to have free time though.

@Cerkvenik : Thanx and anytime man !

@mindbender : Thanx for droppin by, If you have dropbox I have a great video to send you, also send me a pm for that. for advices work fully on photoshop, and you'll have better control than Artrage. I just hate that soft, you'll have more with photoshop, this is the tool man.

Anyway one of my new pics, others may follow in a while.

Amaakir · 04-12-2012, 03:48 PM

Awesome, Sketchbook, and congraaaaaatz on getting your art published! That's a great achievement, great work!

Kherns · 04-14-2012, 03:47 PM

@Amaakir : thanx a lot, but I neeeeeeeed more work !
@cerkvenik : You'll have more and thanx !
@malo : Thanx a lot Malo, I'm jealous of you too you know.
@JoseVega : I will always love you buddy !
@Token : Thanx mate, guess everyone is inspiring each others...

Okay i had a few minutes to finish those off, so here we go, I had so many crazy things to achieve, maybe one day I'll get out of the water.
I'm listening to Korn to keep me awake, and even with a Freak on Leash I was about to fall asleep. Those times are weird.

I have tried to work with more saturated colors, in order to have maybe less whity shiny stuff....Kinda weird too.

Jeromo · 04-14-2012, 04:45 PM

I have a look at your sketchbook and... I'm really impressed!.

Mate, thank you for your comments and congratulations for your work in the book.
I want to see more.

Amaakir · 04-15-2012, 09:34 AM

Duuuuuude, it just hit me while I was reading ImagineFX's #74 (October 2011)...You made it into the FXpose! Hahaha I knew I recognized the "Facing them" artwork!
Man, I'm so jealous! Huge congratz on that, not sure if you mentioned it somewhere on your SB, but still, I consider it a great achievement.
Great job, man, keep up the awesomeness, I'm rooting for you!

JoseVega · 04-17-2012, 07:11 PM

Nice man,
im glad ur experimenting with more saturated colors.
maybe have the very contrast and shine stuff over your focal point, the rest more subtle highlights so the viewers eye focuses on the focal point instead of the whole image.
i hope that makes sense lol
keep it up man!

MrBrown · 04-18-2012, 12:52 AM

WOW! so much awesome

loving the composition in here

Kherns · 05-07-2012, 11:49 AM

@Jeromo : Thanx a lot, I'm tryin' to do more, but those day are not as easy as I could have imagined.

@artsymptom : Thanx a lot, you're right this is what I have tried to do, but too much time can get me bored being on the same thing, though I don't like speed paintings too speedy. Closk ticking is a flail to our world.

@Amaakir : Thanx too you and your kind words. Gr�ce to you I have found in which issue I was. After the interview done nothing, not even a new mentionning the issue, and I have mailed them more than 2 times to have a clue. Don't be jealous I'm sure you can make it into. What this has brought ? In reality nothing, except boosting my fucking ego for 20 minutes on two days. One when The have accepted me, and one when I've read your post here. And then have a new on my blog.

@JoseVega : Thanx a lot for your support, for sure this makes sense at all. I'll try to keep that in mind. But I'm so fucked up those days.

@MrBrown : Thanx a lot, you know you have awesome black and white sketchs. Lotta balance in them.

OKay I'm going on step by step, with some new old and fresh stuff.
