My way of getting through the day 2010-06-14 16:59:17 Reply

This is my first post here on NG's been lurking for a while figured its about time to introduce myself.
and how better than by posting a personal art thread since my first animation is nowhere near done...and if i want to be able to talk...people should atleast know something about me....visually....maybe?

anyhow im not sure how strick you guys are about the whole size thing...however resizing most these down made me sad (the width restriction namely since i like using "widescreen" settings...so if people can let me know if i can get away with slightly...wider images id appreciate it.

so ill start this thing off with a few drawings ive done lately and then add more to the thread later if there is any interest in it.

thanks for looking :3

Are you NilesRockwell, or are you just stealing his art?

The dragon and the dryad,(I think that's what that is), are uber-awesome. Love the textures in both.
Not too sure what I think about the other guy...I think because of his wide nose...but I'm sure you meant for it to be like that.
Great work.

Wow man, the stuff I've seen so far in this veritable gold-mine of a thread is awesome, I couldn't even imagine myself being able to produce this quailty stuff for a while.

I'm loving that dragon pic man, thats amazing the amount of detail on the face, and, tbh, the only fault I have found so far is your pic of the elf girl? the face seems a little . . . . squat, for lack of a better word.

What you've done on flash is nothing short of remarkable! Youve got some really nice, quality drawings here, keep it up.

really soon...sorry but im not sure thats possible, im...very nooby when it comes to flash and im just now finishing up my animatics and keyframe layout/timing etc for my first project...which is about 3 minutes of non stop fbf action sequences...soooooo i have a feeling it will be a long time till i get all wrapped up

however...and this is for anyone who reads this thread, i would like to work with a writer on some kind of series, or even a collab movie (not just a compilation of clips but a full out project) that would be able to come out much faster...but this is all just thoughts and what not...

You've got style, color, details and composition down really well! I love seeing someone handle colors with style. What bugs me in these pictures are the disoriented shapes. This is a classic graffiti-problem, haha.
Am I right when I guess you start working with details before you've defined shapes and light? Excuse me if Im just jumping conclusions.
Your stuff (except the jade kitty temple) has an slight flat feeling to it, and thats a shame. Do you have any still life-drawings you can show?

Also, dont hold back, spam too many pictures a day! :D
