Sublimus

Been a while, if anyone even remembers me. Here are some duddles from my sketchbook

(spoilered for oldness)

Thanks for looking!

MKR

The only problem I have is that most of the characters seem to be fighting sleep. Otherwise, good stuff.

beavotron

4th from the top is my favorite
it's actually like 2nd row, 2nd column.

NakedZergling

interesting style! I like your stuff. I like the guy with the big ears and wings on his head a lot.

Chop Logic

The last two are really nice.

Sublimus

Chop logic: thanks, probably because those two were actually from life.
NakedZergling: Thanks, I like that one too.
Beavo: yeah, its one of my favorites
MKR: Yeah, thats probably due to the large amounts of eyelid in all of them, haha.

And now for some stuff since then, sorry for the crappy pics of the bigger stuff.

(life drawing of buildings + robot head)




(figure drawing class)




And a page of character thumbs.



And also some greyscale landscapes, I'll get better pics when they are done.

Sublimus

And also, Im redesigning my website, what do you guys think of this? Is it an improvement, does anything stand out as particularly bad??

Sublimus

YES EVEN MORE STUFF!

Here is a poster design I did this morning for my type and image class. We had to take a letter, and show it with five words starting with the letter, and also have the letter form itself. I obviously got 'K'

Here are the thumbs I started with, and then the poster I made. Still need to ink the guys, and lay down some flats on them or something.

I'm a sucker for character/creature thumbnails.

I don't know why...i just love the energy and the compulsiveness of them.

These are great...one of my favorite pages in here.

As far as your figure drawings go...i think you need to do a quick sketch blocking off all the areas of different shade before you start rendering.

Here's a great tutorial that will help you with that.

I think the biggest problem with the newest portrait is that the ear is waaaaay too low.

Just pay attention to where everything is in relation to everything else...if that makes sense.

I love your ink still lifes and environments.

Sublimus

Dee Lock: Thank for stopping in. Yeah, character thumbs are a lot of fun, and since I am doing an independent study about them, expect to see a lot more. About the ear, usually I would agree, but the dudes ears are strangely low. And yeah, Im no good at values.

Here are two vector things for a button maker my friend has that Im going to use the shit out of once I get a few more ideas. And then two little sketchbook pages. I have a butt-ton of figure drawings too. But Im too lazy to scan them (unless you bug me to).




edit: TITS! I have to fix that white crap on the skull.
edit2: fixed.

Bug.

Sublimus

Aw goddammit. Gimme like an hour.

Sublimus

I'll scan those figure drawings after class. But for now here is this.

Sublimus

I said I had a bunch, but i did not say they were any good. The first batch were two minute sketches. Some of them, the model would pose for thirty seconds, and then we would draw the pose from memory.


For these the crappy ones were 5 mins, the others were ten, I think.





Aaaaand uh, here is a thing Im working on.

Sublimus

Here's something I just did. Im trying to use the technique in the skull above, but for more realistic subject matter. I think its worth doing a few more times to try and get it right.



The outline on the hood is killing it, and I need to knock the eyes back too, I think.

DeeLock

I like you're figure studies (thanks for posting them!)

I'm a paint noob so i can't really give you much advice about it but the guys eyes seem a little big and too bright.

Pretty worthless crit...sorry...

Sublimus

Well, deelock. It looks like its just you and me in here, haha.

Here is a comic for my sequential imaging class. Needs love. But I'll tighten it up and finish it tomorrow.

Sublimus

THUMBS AHOY!

Another page of character thumbs, this is the jolly giant of the group.


Two pages of composition studies for a painting I need to start and finish by the fifth.



And then a drawing from figure drawing class when the model does not show. All you can do is draw people drawing people.

Mustang

Like a movie about people who make movies about people who make movies about people.

I like that last one, I like it very much.

Sublimus

Thanks Mustang. They were sitting in a surprisingly good composition.

Here is todays work.

Scribbles


thumbnail for a random word exercise. I got 'hard dad, hyper plane, chuckles lightly"


Small painting color study (bad water/sky separation)


and one from figure drawing class. (excuse the crude stitch)

Sublimus

wip. Something I am trying to prepare for my honors studio portfolio.



They way I have the little guys cut off straight is bothering me, but Im not sure how Im going to fix it. Ideas? And obviously, the main character has not been rendered out yet.

(And I should have a big post in about a week.)

Sublimus

One year difference post!

The first two are what I submitted to the end of the year show here at my school The second two are what I submitted this year, the digital piece got in!

bombardier

I'd like to think the lack of comments in your thread mean you're doing something right. The digital piece that got in is awesome. It's got a foggy feel, but is still sharp.

Sublimus

The silence is broken! Thanks Bombs.

Here is a project for my sequential class. We had to take little red riding hood and put a twist on it, then illustrate five story beats. I turned it in, but I think its worth putting in some more time to clean up.

Isn't it funny in most forums it would mean you're doing something wrong but everybody is too polite to say it. Here, a lack of scathing criticism means your work probably isn't too bad.

BTW I like that last one Subs.

Sublimus

I guess silent approval is better than vocalized disapproval. Though, it can be a bit frustrating, haha.

Some stuff from the last few days.

DeeLock

Are those on napkins?

Awesome...

Well...guess what i want you to work on

I can see what you're avoiding in all these.

Hands!

Drop and give me 100 *hand studies* right now!

Sublimus

There actually on brown paper bags! Heh heh. I got a few looks when I brought them out to draw on! I like the material though.

Yeah, I could use some hand studies. Its tough to squeeze them in with the limited amount of time each pose is.

Here is something from my design class. A boring vote poster!

Sublimus

SKETCHDUMP!











All from life.

Kochikens

I really like the second one of those.

Sublimus

The crappy self portrait? weird...

Greatnation

The last is rock solid. Excellent seeing.

Sublimus

Thanks greatnation!

Some more stuff from the sketchbook. And I realized I have not been drawing enough, so expect to see more frequent updates from me in the coming weeks.

Mustang

Where would we be without the moleskin? I fookin love those sketchbooks.

I honestly can't see anything here I dislike, apart from the fact that your sketches are much better than mine.

Sublimus

Thanks mustang. Moleskins are pretty nice, but I think I am going to try and find something a bit different. While the pages are thick enough to paint on and stuff, they are so nice, I feel like I am wasting them by just drawing. Which in turn makes me draw a bit less.

Here is a WIP. Crits??

Believe

I really like the ones you (presumably) did for class assignments, the studies of human figure and life drawing. Ever since taking a life drawing class, my fascination with those kinds of artwork has grown considerably.

Does the skeleton you drew have scoliosis or am I looking at it wrong?

Sublimus

Thanks! Life drawing is a lot of fun.
Negative on the scoliosis, its just a broken piece of shit.

Sublimus

Small update.



Oh- and I have more sketches, but am too lazy to scan them right now.

Mustang

Needs more contrast, it lacks depth.

Sublimus

As I suspected.

I'd like to thank you mustang for your consistent feedback. I don't really know why my thread yields so few replies, but all feedback helps, and I get so little it seems.

Perhaps it's due to a lack of socializing in other threads.

Mustang

Rest assured were you to be pompously over-confident in your abilities, the replies would come thick and fast and none to re-assuring either. I'd like to think your lack of replies more lies in your ability to see your own failings in your work and your humbleness in your successes, it kind of leaves us no-where to go.
So in short, start being more of a jerk
