<--my new art for today..well for 2010 i suppose lol just playing around with composition and some dynamics on the character. Hope you guys like it :)

New Name Poll

So here is the Poll for the new name. It will close
on the end of the year, so that should give you all
some time to vote.

Ninja on Japanese Rooftop

I was thinking of making something Xmas related, but I wanted to do something ninja too. In the end I ended up drawing something ninja, but I guess you can say I took the snow from the Christmas theme. Too bad I can only draw stick men xD

Study - Woman

Face

Finally something I feel happy with. I really like how the eyes came out. I know it still needs work, but getting there. Watching all those tutorials is paying off!! If you haven't gotten any, you are missing out!!! Thanks Xia!!!

Merry Xmas

Pencil sketch for Christmas card

Lady with Sword

Having trouble fleshing this out. I have the look I want, but adding the value and having it look right challenging. Can anyone give me some advice on what to do next. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Tutorial Tank

I was able to do a tutorial since the last one is lost. I have no more fantasy so I painted a random paint. Enjoy!

Vali The Leader (Happy Christmas!)

Hey everyone, I have just finished a character concept and thaught to share it with you - but since it's Christmas time I want to be generous. Just a small gift from me! I wanted to show and help you (especially you beginners) how I did this painting from start to finish. It's always nice to see different approaches. I have written the most valuable information and my tips in the WIP. Also I want to give you something more -- I have uploaded also 2 underpaintings I did that I use sometimes either to get some texture, or to start off the painting. One tip I can give you if you don't know how to use them is to tweak their size and angle, sharpen them, desaturate them, change the Hue & Saturation and adjust the Levels. ;)

Oh, just one last gift, I have also uploaded my color palette. It's quite similar to Xia's but I have added some things that I find quite useful while I'm painting. Hope you find it useful as well.



Let me guys know what you think, especially you my brother Xia! Hope you see some more improvement. Your feedback helps me and motivates me a LOT! :)

Peace

Your opinion:

Ok everyone, we got something going around for a while now
and we came to the point that we would like your help.

The community has been around for some time now and has
been growing ever since. We had a slight spin off with a
new platform, but we ended back up here.

Of course the Blogspot site works fine, we know and love it.
(till a certain extend) but we find it is time to get our
stuff together and start looking for something better.

Specially since we hit the 100 member cap of Blogspot.
We drafted some ambitious plans but the whole thing
still needs a name or domain name (the www. * .com/.org what ever).

So for this we would like your opinion. Lets us know what
you think would be a suitable name and post it in the comment.

After a while I'll gather the whole thing and we can take a poll.

Ok, let me know what you think!

School Work

This is a concept I did for school. We need it to make it slowly loop into itself so I had to make the far left match with the far right.


Here are some more I did pretty rough, as I needed for a western animation.




Finally this is a piece I did where we had to combine Art, Design and Film into one painting.


ps. I'll try to give my share tomorrow for the Christmas time. Just a small present to the community... I'm workin on it :)

Peace!

Speedpaint 50min

Waiting.

"Are we waiting or merely passing by..?"

This is the latest completed artwork. I felt that this piece took me too long to finished, need to paint faster next time.

Merry Christmas everyone~! :)

Tools: Photoshop CS

Thank you.

Tunic

A simple trace in Illustrator again with the Mesh Tool.
I would like to have this one actually tailer made one day.



I clocked this one and the basic Mesh was 1:20.
The colouring was 1:05. Total of 2:25.

If I have some more time, I'll add the other sides.

Some Personal Studies

Hey everyone, it's been a while now. I was quite busy with school work (and still am!). I thaught to share with you some personal work I did a while back. I will try to post some school work I did and some personal stuff soon.



Thanks and wish you all the very best with your art!

I hope more than one like this illustration, it is my first post so I am going to upload more and share some tricks. (I did not use mesh)

Kamikaze Allstars

Well here is one I had laying around from when I just got back from Lombok:



Also made in Illustrator, but not with the Mesh tool obviously.
~
So I came up with this one after I came back from Gili Trawagan.
(there are 3 small islands N-W of Lombok, called the Gili's)
Where I stayed at a Dive Center where one of my friends is a
instructor. A DiveMaster there had a t-shirt with something from
Monkey Magic or something, didn't know it. But it had a Asian guy
on it dressed up and Allstars above it.

I thought it was a Kamikaze Pilot, but he later explained what it
was. But I found the idea of Kamikaze Allstars also rather appealing,
specially on a t-shirt the way that one was. So for now it ended
up like this.

Jump!

Tomb Raider - Lara Croft

Ok so some of you might still remember the Dragon I posted some time ago.

Now here is the actual project I was working on:



This one is made exclusively using Illustrator. Mainly the Mesh Tool.
No Photoshop or Fireworks.



Here is the Vector view of the previous image.

If I ever get the time I might try to put together a tutorial. Also I should note
that this doesn't fall under anything with "speed".
