I cleaned up my image directory, so most of the images in the old thread are dead now. These are mostly sketches from over the break. Some may be a bit old.

WIP.

(Expect a city/castle thing in the bg where that ugly blob is)

NibCrom · January 2009

Dang. Looks cool.

It took me a bit to see the cliff the castle on the foreground is on. But maybe it's my small monitor.

winter_combat_knight · January 2009

That latest WIP is looking cool. i think the only problem is that the cliff (closest to the viewer) and the ground through the canyon are the same/similar tone and colour. this makes it a little hard to see it as a cliff. I think the canyon and further background would make this stand out better if it was a little lighter in tone. Grass from far away almost looks like a pale dirt kind of colour. I did a little paintover (dodgy!!! with mouse and gradients). Im not saying i'm right, i just applied the methods i was tought to your illustration.

I hope this 'illustrates' what im saying...

Thanks guys.

I'll try and keep that in mind as I continue!

Allan · January 2009

Great stuff all around, Sub.

Sublimus · January 2009

Thanks Allan, it means a lot.

Here are some car concepts. Im going to take two of them further and do some variations of them.

And here is a theatre poster for my conceptual illustration class.

Channeling your inner Alduar, Sub?

Sublimus · January 2009

Not too much progress on this, but a quick color splash.

earthwormadam · January 2009

Whoa lovin the sketchbook stuff man.

Sublimus · January 2009

RubberAC: Trying, haha! He knows a low about color and atmosphere.
earthwormadam: Thanks!!

Loomdun · January 2009

What exactly do you plan to go with this, do you have any full body studies and/or gestures, have you taken life drawing before, how do you design to draw a hand, and do you have any hand drawings, do you know what point perspective is, and are you in a college or have you graduated from a college and gone to a university.

Kendeathwalker · January 2009

Loom- What the fuck? Seriously.. What the fuck?

Loomdun · January 2009

What?

Kendeathwalker · January 2009

You asked those questions as if you were the fount of all art knowledge

Loomdun · January 2009

huh? how would I of said it how do questions make me sound like I know everything? lol

Kochikens · January 2009

Oh man, I love this. The colours are so nice and work so well together. I dunno if it was intentional or not, but cutting someone off at the joints (The ankle) generally really bugs me.

Sublimus · January 2009

Loom" Im going to assume you questions were in good intent, but poorly communicated. Im a college senior, and have done many figure/perspective/hand studies. if you were trying to asses my background and/or relative skill level, I think the work mostly speaks for itself. Especially if you ever popped into my old thread which had almost a years worth of work in it.

Kochi: Thanks! Yeah, Im going to try and address that in the final drawing.

Here are some water color tests, since I think Im going to do the final in water colors. (First serious attempt with them.)

And here is a from life study.

It was a metal skull with designy things on it.

Loomdun · January 2009

oh, where am I? *waddles away*

winter_combat_knight · January 2009

nice watercolours, and tonal study on the skull.

RubberAC · January 2009

Watercolours are super fun eh?

Sublimus · February 2009

Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, water colors are pretty fun if you can hold yourself off from trying to get too detailed.

Here is the next iteration of my Galaxy Grand Prix. They aren't done yet, but I got antsy and wanted to post, haha.

And here are some sketches. It's been a while since I've drawn from the live model, so I'm a bit rusty.

Godfather · February 2009

Wonderful!

Mustang · February 2009

I concur

rts · February 2009

Beautiful hand studies, though some of the figures are getting wacky. watch how much you emphasize musculature, it is usually more subtle than you think.

Sublimus · February 2009

Thanks for the kind words guys! It means a lot.

cakemikz: I'll keep that in mind! I had a lot of fun with the hand studies, and they took like no time at all. So I think Im going to keep doing them until I can do them from my head.

Allan · February 2009

You left-handed, Sub?

Sublimus · February 2009

Yup! (Weird factoid: I draw and eat with my left hand, but write and arm wrestle right handed)

Allan · February 2009

That weird fact automatically makes you a man's man.

Kendeathwalker · February 2009

but which arm does palmela and her 5 freinds turn tricks for?

Sublimus · February 2009

Im an extreme multi-tasker, so it depends on what else I am doing atm.

I was doodling this thing in class and the girl behind me was like 'Did you draw that?? Like, right now??' So I feel like I have to post this. Took like five mins I think. I'll be posting proper thumbnials for this piece in the next day or so, but i was just fooling around when I got the assignment.

And two sketch pages

Betelgeuse · February 2009

I'm really liking what I see here, and the hand studies and sketchbook pages particularly strike my fancy. What did you use to color the sketchbook pages? These specifically: http://wsmisch.com/2k9/sketch/006.jpg and http://wsmisch.com/2k9/sketch/010.jpg. Marker?

Sublimus · February 2009

Thanks Betalgeuse! I love drawing in my sketchbook, its much more fun than trying to make complete images, haha. The pink and large black areas are made with pentel brush pens, and the blue is brushed in later when I'm at home, and its fw acrylic ink (process cyan color).

Took that guy from the sketch above further.

Sublimus · February 2009

ON A ROLLLL

DeeLock · February 2009

Head's pretty big, so are the arms, especially the hands.

Otherwise, you're awesome.

Or the torso and legs are too small.

The sketches are effing brilliant Sub, I really should take the time to study them a bit more closely.

Sublimus · February 2009

Gah! Proportions are always shitty on my drawings, haha.

And thanks for the complements guys. But Mustang, there are plenty of other people on concept art that you would probably learn a lot more from, haha. Or shit, even other people here too.

Mustang · February 2009

I try to learn from everyone, even you.

EDIT: God, I sound really creepy sometimes.

Sublimus · February 2009

Im going to try and have at least one sketch page a day from now on. Either from ref, or not - who knows.

And a small update on this one.....Tried to fix the proportions some

Mustang · February 2009

Yup, better. The enormous right hand (his right) is still enormous, but you could always claim gigantism and leave it at that.

DeeLock · February 2009

Head's still giant though.
