Awesome progress. I too need to work on environments... Yours are looking pretty good, the first one seems a little flat, but I think that's just the lack of texture on those rocks, and you've all ready had some good advice on that. The only way forward is studying... We are Crimson Daggers, there's nothing we can't acheive with a bit of hard work :3

Nice figures and portraits as well, and I really like those Bridgman hands. Looking forward to updates :3

That gift is pretty sweet; how was it received? :}}

{also, other-Alex, useful rock texture tips }

[alexson]

Arnici - Thanks man He liked it! I think he has it as his desktop pic now wich is a compliment!

Some studys from today and a few concept pieces I did last week for a game company.

Hey Alex! These look cool Great we get to see them so soon! Keep up the good work man!! Really liking this mechanised stuff especially.

[alexson]

AlexTooth - Thanks! I need to study more metall/armor etc. tough. I don't think I captured it's specularity and texture etc. all that well.

Ooh I have a scanner now!
Did some Vilppu etc. today.

[alexson]

Todays shiznic. Whatever that means.

Nice updates Alex, I particularly like this nude - I think you've got the lighting just right. Is that your on skull? It's awesome anyway! I want a real one lol I've only got this plastic skull, it's so meh>.<

Faces are coming a long nice, you're a fast learner so it's only a matter of time before you're drawing awesome faces from imagination.

I've got a tip for your line quality though - Try and hunt down Bob Kato, drawing the head Gnomon DVD. It's a set of 3, the first one is just lines, the 2nd lines and tone. I guarantee they will improve your lines and forms - just work with him and do all the same drawings, then try your own. If you don't improve, sue me!!

[alexson]

Thanks Alex No I don't have any skull, besides my own that is but I am using that for brain protection and stuff. I want one too, they are really cool to draw with all the textures and cracks and whatnot. Thanks alot for that tip I will defenetly check it out! And if I don't master the art of portraiture from it you're in trouble!

[vatsel]

I like your work on construction. Keep up it looks really helpful

I can spot some odd stuff in the face construction though - try to watch perspective and focus on postitioning the features on the curved shape that is the face.

See you around

[alexson]

Thanks alot Vatsel positioning of the facial features is a real bitch for me right now, working on it tough.

Some sketches, should do some color stuff too >.<




Some quick figures, first time for me. Used posemaniacs in lack of a program that shows images in a specific time.

[AlexTooth]

Nice figures mate. I heard about this program today during zachs stream where you can display a slideshow - it's called irfanview, check it out! No more posemaniacs for me

[alexson]

Thanks Alex, will try it out!

Some sketchezzz

Faces, trying some different approaches.



A couple of figures, after watching Vilppus videos. No confidence at all in these lines
