MetalFingers, Thanks! Yeah i've been working out, you know..

irawan, Thanks Heri, I appreciate it, yeah i'm going for the second one

malo, Thanks buddy! Yeah def, going for the second one

Here's some Breast plate armor before starting to paint a new piece, nothing really great but yeah:


I have to teach myself how to not rush things.. sigh D:

[JohnSilva]

Just did a clean up of another illustration next in line, now its ready for some colooooooor,

[irawan]

hi john,
great update!
i think the composition much better without the dragon on the lower part(dragon no head), the small one is fine.

if you still want to show it, better you draw completely( with the head), a big object and cut the head is not a good way,imho.

but overall look great, looking forward for coloooooooooooooooor version.

Hey John,

great update!!! Love the line work and the composition. And I've to agree with Heri (a second time ).
Or at least - show a bit of the head (some dragon eye, etc.).
Hehe - I'm having the same issue - I also have to tech myself not to rush thing. Or at least be able to spend more time on a single art piece.

just my poor 2 cents.

Keep up your awesome work, pal!!

Cheers

malo

irawan, Thanks buddy, yeah totally agree with you, i'll fix it

malo, Thanks friend, yeah i'm going to make the full body of the dragon and then move it around to fix the compo


Just something to relax,

New thumbs for my next illo, going with the very last bottom one :>

[Howie]

cool updates John, nice character design...love that sword, I think his left foot should be pushed back a little and positioned underneath him more to give him a little more balance. Otherwise nice piece really like the way you handled the figure on the ground, really nice lighting.

Nice thumbnails too, I think the third one is the most clear but I'm liking the top the most, it has a nice composition

[JohnSilva]

Howie, Thanks man, yeah there's a few tweaks need to be done

Some morning starting sketch thing, damn you lack of time.
