Description
A collection of sketches that have floated to the surface. The ones at the top of the page there must be 5-6 years old, 'cause I haven't taken a course they'd apply to in at least that long. The doodles probably explain why I don't remember any of that stuff, though... I wasn't really paying attention.The rest are from scattered projects that stretch over the last few months. All pencil over various types of paper.

I was thinking more of a Celestial Dog from a classic D&D Summoning I spell, but I'd lie if I didn't say I liked a lot of the designs for wolf-form Amaterasu. I still haven't gotten Okami but I have an art book for it, amusingly enough, and it's silly-gorgeous.

I think I learn something every time I look at one of your pictures. I think the count's up by 6 or 7 for this one.
It's just amazing. Even when you're just sketching it's all really great. It's really inspiring me to pick up my pencil again and have another go.

I think its funny that your rough sketches are better than most people 's finished art work.

Oh and I understand why you took no notes. Philosophy is kinda boring.

Cool concepts. I like all of 'em. Especially the skeleton; definately the best thought out. I also like the Muskateer with the rapier, and the lined paper sketches

these are so so awesome. You need to teach me how to sketch like that. Seriously.

Just stay loose. A sketch is the stage where you can make mistakes and scribble. If something doesn't look right, just keep working at it until it does.

just wondering, since you do thumbs, how do you go into details?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You mean for the final? It's drawn a lot larger for one, which makes it easier... and since I usually rough in red pencil, I can add detail over the messy rough without fear of the two conflicting, since the red pencil gets stripped.

ah, I see. Hmm..I should try that. What I'm trying to do is draw a thumbnail, then go into Painter or Photoshop and enlarge it and apply the final lines.
BTW, was wondering, do you use a tablet?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh! In that case, you can just scan the image, copy it to a New Layer in the PSD that's sized the way you need it, and then use the Transform Tool to scale it up to match. I do this ALL the time... turn the properly sized thumbnail to a low Opacity and then start to ink away.
I do use a tablet. They're pretty much essential for digital drawing, which is a lot of the drawing I do, lately. They're expensive (the good ones are REALLY expensive), but it's an investment... I really believe that tablet technology is the future of illustration, they're already becoming very common amongst professionals. I started with a tiny 4x5, but I recently upgraded to a 9x12, and what I really, REALLY want is a Cintiq.

Well, then, what you really, really want is this little dohickety right here [link]

Yep, that's the beast. I work on those at the studio, but they're a little expensive for home just yet.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey, at least you get to work on them. So far, all I've been able to do is drool... metaphorically speaking.

Ah. I'm still stuck with my 4x5 graphire 3. I'm...way too poor at the moment. lol.
Illustration/animation for me is more of a hobby for now.
I really really want a 6x8 intuos though...

Woah you skeleton was the best piece, although i liked the pose of the guy with a 2h sword.. (i love zweihander) and those weapon designs are cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Your sketches and figure work always have a certain dynamic quality, with motion and life that pervades, even when they're just standing still. The skeletal warrior for example: right knee bent just ever so slightly, the fabric in his clothing catching on the wind, his left hand gripping the shaft of his weapon, ready to strike even when at rest.
And always the lovely ladies... buxom, short hair, powerful. That certainly shows a bias... 
Still, there's always that great life energy you have in your work, which is wonderful to see.

Sketchy but freakin' clean. >_<
I tried to perform a 540 in anim, it was a bit strane ( scrap gallery )
Isn't it too hard to anim a character with to many details ? i mean when i see your process ( tests ) i imagine them with many details and real form.. it scraed me. : /
but anyway, i like the study/ character design and research that's all i want to say.

It's not easy, that's for sure.
But it's not so bad, I think, as long as you fully understand the design and you have the time to spend with each frame. It's that last factor that really kills you, because animation is a time-consuming process to begin with, and complex designs only make it more so.
For beginners, I really recommend working to simplify designs. Learning how to do simple stuff well will make the more complex stuff later on less difficult.

Oh... ok i see. animator is a good/ fantastic/ interrseting job who can kill easly.
so i should continu to pratice myself with basic form/ animation.
I'll progress with the time as everything... i can't be a genius now, i'll grow'up by practicing way.
thanks for the Advice/ and the lesson.
