Awesome, sketches, man, the detail on the armor is incredible!
Yeea, I'll definitely buy your book, mate! Do you gain any profit out of it from selling it through blurb? Check that out, if so, I'll buy it directly from there. Otherwise, I'd love to make some arrangements so I can get your book
Great job!

[stace]

Whao, really awesome sketchbook, can't wait to see more!

[richartworks]

kevin- - cheers mate, making books is HARD!
Amaakir - There's a base price from blurb, and I can set a price higher than the base, and I'll get the difference. But I'm thinking that I shouldn't sell it because there are screenshots from the NeverEnding Story film in it that are probably copyrighted and need a license? So I dno... I'll PM you with more info
stace - cheers stace, here's some more!

Had enough of concepts and studies, so today's illustration juicy fun -

I've got my graduation project defence next week Monday, where I have to defend all of my choices against industry concept artists! Both exciting and terrifying at the same time lol. I also got my first freelance gig, and I just randomly found out I'm getting a feature in Digital Arts magazine, apparently my library piece came runner-up for image of the week

uh oh's nudity!! This was a self test sketch of today to see what I could do using only the imagination, turned out okay and shows some good flaws that I can go study -

[richartworks]

So today I did some quick studies and started on the CHOW a sci-fi pinup -

[kevin-]

studies came out pretty good! and the scifi pin up is looking cool as well! but i do see anatomy and proportion issues with the self test thing so just bang out some more studies! :b

[MarcSampson]

wooow nice study of the female, but ive noticed some anatomy issues on your characters, the hips need to be wider and the ribcage is bigger . feel free to use reference and photos if your unsure. everyone does it

[richartworks]

Kevin- yea, its always good to test yourself and see what needs work.
MarcSampson -Thanks for the crits mate, for the chow I made her chest and hips extra large As for using ref if I'm unsure, if I only did that then I might rely on it too heavy and not learn as much, this way is working for me.

chow update, crits always welcomed

[JoseVega]

nice coming out great!!!
maybe some shadow under here so it does not look like she is floating?
keep it up!

[richartworks]

JoseVega - thanks mate, bu unfortunately I didn't get around to finishing her. Maybe I'll go back and add it in

So A LOT has been going on since my last post. Firstly, I passed my graduation exam, I'm finally done with school!!! Now the real work begins lol! My family all came over, and had a blast. I then went to Disneyland to unwind...on rollercoasters lol. I also had a job interview that went really well, so fingers crossed. Other than that I've been keeping very busy with freelance work that unfortunately I can't show.

Here's a fantasy themed mockup coaster that had to be done in a certain style etc.



A fun sketch from earlier today -

Ahhhh been playing guildwars 2 all day! LOVE IT! After a while I was crazy inspired to paint fantasy, might take this 'ambush' further, get to the choppah! -

[Voodoo-Mama]

The chow girl looks really good. She's very cute. I love the rendering
ahhhh I like that rollercoaster design xD
Congrats on graduating! I hope you get the job!
