Cool sketches.. I like the way you're working out your brush strokes, such as in the Rocket Knight sketch. It's interesting to see how you're playing around with the movement of the strokes in some of these and how it builds texture and form like the Harbingers.

MikeC: Coming from you that's a huge boost for me, I really enjoy seeing your study drawings and creatures. You develop your concepts so completely, it's awesome. I appreciate the comment, even as late as I am to respond to it.

hello again all. haven't posted in this sketchbook in a long time (obviously). I got several new things going on but I want to keep myself committed to the sketching of ideas when not doing other projects (hopefully soon, steady work). so I decided to start posting daily sketches. not trying for full out rendered illustrations or anything. just drawings from life and random things in my head, scans and digital works, combinations of the two in most cases. as long as Im drawing and posting, Ill be satisfied with this sketchbook thread. so heres a few sketches to get things started...

good stuff. I would definately love to see some more finished pieces because you do have a solid start on some nice works, shame not to see them seen through but you are getting the form across in certain drawings which i like. keep posing.

[AppleCrow]

Twice: yeah, I need to get around to finishing a lot of the stuff I have. for now though with these dailies, just going to be sketches, but who knows, I may grow fond of some of these and start rendering them out, thats usually how it goes..

here's one last post for the night, need to get some form of sleep...if only the party next door would just hurry up and die down...

[AppleCrow]

Twice: I actually started to really like a few of these sketches and I think I'm going to take your suggestion and go ahead and take a few of them to final. thanks for the nudge, lol.

here are some sketches for environments and a few illustrations...still undecided on which I will finish out but its down to about 2.

[AppleCrow]

Princess and the Frog:
there was a girl reading "Princess and the Frog" to a bunch of kids and I just randomly thot about doing a creature fairy tale where the princess is actually this horrid 3 headed beast, and the frog is a gangly hunchback looking little critter who has set out to slay the princess as a knight would a dragon. it's a pretty early wip, but I cant seem to let the idea go, lol.
