[Vladimir_Gasai]

Greetings Cghubers!

My name is Vladimir Gasai i am 22 and im trying to get my foot into the concept art industry as a concept artist's of course i have been doing stuff for around give and take 2 years now thats when i took it seriously before that i have be drawing really casualy.
I havent been to an art school or taken a single lesson i am 100% self taught which sometimes can be very hard.

Now why i make a post here? Well i got a sketchbook here and a portfolio but i havent got any response for a long time now a critique of how my work is and what i should improve and that to be honest worries me a lot i mean whats wrong? am i that bad? Anyway i know as a logical person and designer (fancy word to call yourself heh) what are my weak and strong points aspects lets say it in concept art generaly.

BUT i NEED some critique from other people as well i cant go blindly like that anymore.Im aware that i must improve the overall quality of my portfolio (characters,mech's,vehicles,enviros,portraits,crea tures) it all needs fixing and better understanding.

My focus is to be as good as possible on all of these areas in the concept art field in order for me to get jobs easily and so i become more valuable to my clients you understand that

Im doing a lot of studys from life from photos from observing and from books and tutorials and DVD's and learning more of the fundumentals in the process im working currently on 2 projects which i get payed and on few of my own personal as well and i keep a daily sketchbook here and on my blog just to be on my toes and conctantly become better.

So if your not bored could you please have a look on my blog or at my sketchbook or my portfolio here on cghub and give your 10 cents of mind to me!

I would really appreciate that i know its a lot to ask for but i could really use the help!
I dont want to repost art since its all posted on the forums anyway.

Hmm... Looking at your work I'd say that you need a sharper edge on your pieces, you seem to be progressing well though. I would perhaps look into Painttool Sai for more quality lines than Photoshop; I usually just use photoshop to touch up the images.

Also you work could be a tad brighter you know? Adding more vibrant hues would help many of the pieces pop more.

Also, what are you inspired by and going for while creating your pieces?

Well,having seen your portfolio on cghub,I can't agree with themindofmaltese more,that your works are needed sharper edges.You have a focused point in most pieces,but ignore other details.
Anyway,design is good,like the first one.

themindofmaltese: Thank you! i will check out the software,I think you right about the edges now that i see it closely thats a point.I will work on that.Yeah i guess i need to bring more brighter color i have been told that one before.also i get inspired by everything a human eye can see and hear its really easy that part at least.

amileduan:Thanks i will do that!
