Oni's lounge room

[OniRiK]

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, to the nonsensical artsy carnival that is my thread.

My nickname here is Onirik (most people call me Tiger though, you might as well if you feel like it), I've been a lurker for quite some time, and I finally decided to man up and post my art yesterday. I aspire to be an art director someday. I mostly paint in traditional manners, but I actually do a bit of digital. Apart from the three drawings I've posted here so far, I will be posting my WIPs and sketches here, as well as my finished pieces. I do a bit of digital paintings, but mostly lines. I'm greatly influenced by comic book artists and UDON artists, I'm a street fighter fan, I also love Valve's work with TF2 or Portal. I like just about anything that's groovy or funky, I absolutely love Jamie Hewlett's Tank Girl. In terms of painting, my greatest inspiration would be Chagall and Cézanne.

So, without further ado, here are said WIPs and sketches.

Here is a painting of a town not far from mine. It was a gorgeous little sunny seaside village. (Sorry for the image qualities, I'll have to compress/reduce them a bit to be fit for NG's standards.)

Here is a digital painting of a wolf that was done with reference, based upon this picture

Haha, when I first did it I had no idea it was such a well known meme, I was just googling cool wolf references!

Here is a robot I doodled in a few minutes after playing me some Cave story! (wonderful game by the way)

It's pretty much a lounge because I'm a lazy artist haha!
Thanks a lot to you and everyone else for commenting! And you're welcome.

Here are some concepts I made for a game I'm working on with a team. I took pictures of some of my other paintings too, I should post that later.

Thanks!!!! That means a lot really!

Here is one of the paintings I was talking about! Unfortunately I have a little problem regarding posting paintings as I'm taking them with my mobile phone, the quality is really bad.

woop I think my tablet is broken suddenly :(

I guess I'll only be posting pictures of my traditional paintings for a little while if I can't manage to fix it, I surely don't have enough dosh to buy a new one for a long time

I like the values and color in your digital paintings, they lack in definition though, everything is kinda blurry.

Yeah that's my biggest problem, I can do lines fine and I can do lineless paintings somewhat fine but they do really lack definition. I don't really know how to work on that digitally. Once I'm done with my base layers I reckon zooming in and starting defining more isn't a good technique, is it? However when I keep in mind that I'm painting a piece as a whole I get carried away and do blurry things.
