tim: hm... i tend to choose the most static compositions.. i'll try to remedy this in future compositions.
Thinking more I think the white birds make me think of rain forests or beaches, maybe if they were black they might fit in a bit better. Either way for a concept piece it more than does the job.
I don't know if you know, but it appears you don't use the pen pressure. Apparently if you get JTablet (im guessing Java Tablet) you can use that feature. Hope you didn't know that so I feel less silly. I'm in love with the landscape, I hope to do something of that quality some day *gets to work for the next 2183712398 years*
scosglen: : ) when I go on the sketcher it's normally after class and have a beer and a sketch... in the late afternoon, or evening EST
ksblair: thank you, now go and learn and draw
sammu: Yeah, I don't use pressure.. I like it that way. it makes sketcher even more basic. I like the fact that sketcher forces you to think and there are no crutches
I've gotten hooked on the sketcher(obviously)... and one of the drawings turned out quite well i thought.. and so I painted it.
original sketch
initial layin
crunch: I make billions of cheerios.
freek: most of it is saved for web... but you're right, a few things aren't. this is my first site, so i'm making a lot of newbie mistakes : ) thanks mate
sublimus: thanks! it's always good to find another whit, no? (is that how you spell it? because if you don't spell it that way it's not as sweet... 8) )
i almost like the quick layin better than the final just because the focus is clearly on the woman. the final has too much evenly rendered detail on the dress and it pulls us away from the boobs...
tits...
ta-tas...
woman.
edit: or maybe its just the big white flowery thing on the dress thats too distracting.
Now if only your site design did your art-work the justice it deserves!
Ugh at the "mystery meat" navigation buttons at the top. I didn't know they were clickable until I moused over 'em. Rather than repeating the text and image links, just make the text visible straight away on the images. That way you don't have double navigation and aren't confusing my poor brain
Afterall, I'm a stupid, impatient Internet user! I want to know where I'm clicking straight away! I don't want to spend the extra 1 second to find each link! I'm a busy person!
Just think like that and you'll be fine when it comes to designing the web-site
And upon further inspection, the text links appear to only be on the main page... I'm guessing you will want to stick some sorta intro paragraph there? Overall the site needs some fleshing out, cause it looks a little unfinished as it is, but I'm guessing you're working on it
Definitely don't want to creep upon your existence, but I put some of your art on my wallpaper, live in a dorm setting, and constantly have people demanding a name or site or exhibition...
Is there such a name/site/exhibition available? For the commonfolk? For the people?
Also, have you considered titles for some of your work? I know much is casual with you, but especially in your portraits I feel a title would be beneficial. Or helpful. Or even just nice.
Thanks, I think if Van Gogh had a computer, his stuff would look a lot like yours.
You should definately get this work out on some canvases for people to buy, I'd really like to own quite a few of these pieces of art. If you got it put up on a borderless piece of canvas, tyour art would look awesome in a white walled gallery or something. Good good work, for some reason i really like your style. *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap* *clap*
indigo apoc: thanks mate! i did a bit more work on it
hunterb: I pushed th eflower back a bit value wise... i think it helped. mmm boobies!
iruka: you're right, the sketch has better motion. fuck! i always make things so damn static!
sami: thank you very much!
tweaked_bat: I changed the buttons (well, one of them... hoping that the user could figure it out with that clue) this is my first site. thanks for the feedback!
pent: danke
gafoto: i sorta thought it was accepted that my work is NSFW nowadays, o well
staleghoti: MMM bum bum bum
tylerbroor: don't worry, this is the internet. My existence is not creeped up upon. www.brushbook.com is the site I just got online! I never really think about titles.. Thanks so much for the kind words!
johannen: thanks dude, maybe someday i'll have an online store to buy giclee prints and such on my site! someday....
This is my background now, and it looks really really good.
It's good when you work with lighter colours, you blend the colours well and the shapes show nicely. Your darker works are more defined but don't hit with me as well as the others. I'm pretty sure that's just personal taste though.
Alduar, I say this in all seriousness - how many American Moon Dollars would I have to give you to have the original of the picture featured above my post?
Wow, I dind't think the picture of the woman in that bad-ass dress could get much better, but you proved me wrong!
!
I Always love the textures you're able to represent in your paintings. Like all of the different fabrics in the dress and in her headdress. Very nice.
Also, I just have to say, the little bit of light reflecting off of the edge of the fan gave it a much more definitive an believable edge. I definitely enjoy your feel for detailing.
If you ever sell a copy of it, I will totally buy it.
indigo_apoc: thank you.. If everyone's claims for buying my pieces were true and I had a store online, i could actually make money for my art! that would be a rather novel idea.
megaman001: hm... moon dollars aye? I don't know
johannen: heh, thanks. I generrally try to work with a full value scale... representing all the main values.. thanks for your input
indigo_apoc: thank you.. If everyone's claims for buying my pieces were true and I had a store online, i could actually make money for my art! that would be a rather novel idea.
I'd rock an Alduar original on my wall. Also asspat.
My biggest comment with the characters would be that they all seem to be in akward poses/positions. This is a big problem for a lot of people, including myself. But I sometimes find it useful to think of something that character (if I have a character in mind) would be doing and draw them doing that. That way you dont have arms or legs in strange positions because you didnt really know what else to do with them.
If you don't know what the character is going to be ahead of time, try to think of an action like picking out some fruit at the grocery store and try to draw a character doing that. And then say, if you dont want your soldier squeezing an orange, put a grenade or something in his hand instead. Whatever it takes to make the poses, and the characters feel more natural.
Hope this is helpful.

Also, the second abstract looks like it might have started out as a still life with some melon/tomato slices!
Don't forget to upate your PA-profile or the url in your post above will be the only link to your website. That would be a pity ^^
Would you tell me what the original size of "absland4" is?

artmonkey, nightdragon: thanks!
timthe sloth: hm. yeah, I just chose the white because it worked in the composition, you wouldn't see dark birds against a dark background..
volta, cola koala: thank you
jonis: it's a lot of trouble to do that, thanks though
i love the sketcher!
a collaboration.. i did the inks over an extremely rough pencil sketch
keep working hard and learning, dude! your attitude is awesome...
ksblair: thank you, now go and learn and draw

kokosmasher: hehehe... artistic inspiration>homework : ) thanks mate!
well i got a website up finally
brushbook.com
still a few things that need tweaking, but it's mostly finished!
One thing though, looks like one of your non break space is caught in between an <a> tag. (between portfolio and links.)
Its an honor to share the same first name as you. Maybe I can ride your coat tail because of it later in life.
And Crunchy, your sig really creeps me out.

I've always loved your work, and this one is no exception!
I love the lightling and colors you used on it. And there's a very nice feel to it.
Awesomeness all around, good work (as always)!

Just my two cents.
P.S: poast moar artwork plz!
Dear satan I wish for this or maybe some of this....oh and I'm a medium or a large.

ms paint time!
I'd pay several more for your other pieces. Maybe tens of dollars. Three digits? We'll see.
However this whole thread is without doubt some of the most complex and truly wonderful work I have seen in a good while.
I'd rock an Alduar original on my wall. Also asspat.
aumni: thanks! i'm honored to have a place on your desktop
fresh: thank you very much... I am glad you dig it
mr.inkswitch: thanky you!!
