You've got an eye for details and your proportions, and lighting are really excellent. My one issue is it feels that your "final products" feel unfinished. They feel empty and just abandoned. Aside from that you have a knack for interpreting texture (I can't figure out how to do that stuff) it's really impressive.

It's up to me now, turn on the bright lights.

Thanks, and yeah I'm a very lazy person. I usually tend to start one thing and never finish it unless I absolutely need to. The fact that I myself consider half of these to be "finished" is more than enough for me.

Maybe I'll turn into a hard-working artist one day.

Good stuff, I like it! But I think you could be spending a lot less time with the same or better results if you got used to an easier method? I may be wrong but it's just a guess on my part!

its kinda hard to find a good balance between going into the extreme details, and leaving things "unfinished"...
overall I think you would benefit from going a bit more indepth on your drawings...
Obviously, your interest is more on the concepts etc, but that is why a bit of focus on the details could help a whole lot.

Dude... I think the Blademaster is pretty bad ass.

Lovely thread you have going on here. I can clearly see how you would relate your own works to mine.

Great work on the blademaster though, very well done. I'd love to see more finished pictures like this in the future from you. I can see you making great art in the future. :)

I haven't been able to draw in a while, simply because I just don't feel like it anymore. It's as if I almost don't enjoy drawing anymore. I don't know why, but it just hasn't been the same in a while.

Anyways, here's a new piece. I'll hurry up and upload this to the portal. Thanks for all the support and kind words so far.

Taking a break from my other style. I still feel a little bored when drawing, although this was a bit more fun to make than the previous picture.

Any thoughts on this one?

Circle of life? Alright then.

I can't stop drawing. I want to, but I can't. I don't even want to draw right now, but I just can't control myself. This is a little messed up situation for me.

Oh, I can see where you made the connection from.

Here's a quick sketch of some invisible guy with a gun. I don't enjoy coloring, but I love trench coats.

Hey man, I hear on the not wanting to draw anymore...

I'm going through the same thing. It's as if I know I should be drawing, and I know it's totally worth it, but I just don't have any fun doing it anymore... :< Meh.

But glad to see you're still managing to make yourself do it, and be productive about it.

Rofl, yeah no... Whether or not you think so, it really is. :D Sometimes it shows more than others, but I can tell you're improving.

But yeah, it's rather odd how similar we are...

Kind of scares me, lol. :D

I just read what I wrote after posting it, and I realize it looks like I was saying it's getting worse. xD

Lol we both even had to double post in the same thread right after each other. Did you do that on purpose or something? lol.

Yeah, this is getting a little weird.

Lol, I knew it'd seem that way after I did that, but yeah. I didn't intentionally mean to make it seem like we were twins by doing that. D: I just thought I'd clarify what I had wrote, so that it wouldn't make you think that I was saying your art was getting worse. ><

Mah bad, sir.

You know what the spy needs? Some shades.

Quick draw, less than 3 hours.

Needs more smokes.
And Russian ushanka. Drawing is lacking of Russian ushanka. Everyone in Russian gulag had Russian ushanka, drawing should have Russian ushanka also.

Back in Russian gulag, everybody has Russian ushanka. Especially in holodnaya zima.
How are you liking of this Russian ushanka knowledge? Russian ushanka very helpful in motherland.

I'm glad to say that it's finally done, though. Drawing this was a pain and, frankly, I never want to do it again until I any get better.

If you get any better you'll be French.

The French are ok, but their language is just plain horrible from the way I see it. Being from Canada, I've had French rammed down my throat for up to Grade 9. After that, I was freed to choose not to learn it.

Anyways, just thought I'd throw that out there. Also, the Famas (aka Clarion) was made by the French, correct?
