Hey guys and gals! Joined a while back and have not been keeping up on posting so heres attempt number two.

I'm all over the place in my studies (though am lately on an animal/creature binge) so I hope to keep growing as much as I can.

I'm a huuge fan of getting some real crits and suggestions so those are the best things you can throw my way. Don't crush my soul, but play nice and tell me the truth

Ill throw in some fairly recent stuff to get started.

And sorry for the newb question on the forum - how can I upload my files as I have done, but have them show up only as large images and not just thumbnails? Thanks in advance

Cj_Marsh · 07-18-2010, 10:41 PM

Hey man glad to see you got some stuff posted here, im a bit of a fan of your work from CA.org : P well to answer your question the manage attachments button has a drop down arrow and what you do is when you upload your work and close out of attachment manager click the drop down arrow and you should see a list of the uploaded images and just click on em and something like

[attach]24532[attach] will show up like this and it should show big pics.

Got some nice stuff here. Digging the pencil sketches. Only suggestions, esp. as it applies to the first image posted, would be to watch the amount of texture/pattern. Lots and lots and lots of brushstrokes makes it a bit busy to look at. Looking forward to seeing more!

Jakers · 07-19-2010, 10:17 PM

Undeadartist Hey thanks my friend. I really appreciate the help for the posting system, I guess CA.org does it the same way but automatically inserts them. I will see you around here as well

FreddyScribbles Thanks for that tip, I understand and will try to find a good balance. I think I overwork areas that don't need so much definition and it takes away from it all.

Just tossing in some more recent animal related sketchings, sometimes starter reference images to get things going or pure imagination.

Some good stuff in here! Really like your line quality, keep it comin.

Jakers · 07-22-2010, 09:01 PM

Agelaos Thanks for the visit

I would agree my lines have gotten better, definitely been one of those background focuses. Any crits throw them at me.

Heres a few more recent things, I guess I'm all over the place in studies

FreddyScribbles Thanks bud! thanks for your visit

Heres a few design pages - painted image is for Creature Planets, taken from one of the thumbnails...bit of a rush job but it felt confident at least in approach? Let me know what you think! Like turkey?
