    ive been sussing out monaux’s work lately and have been REALLY tempted to do a design in his style, just because it is bad ass, but im just not sure if that’ll go good with some, here it is:

    Photobucket

    in no way am i stealing his style or his imagery, i just think its good practice for me to do a design in his style as it is different from mine and would eventually increase my range in designing, tell me what you think!

    great, i get to follow edgil, and now i’m going to get completely overlooked.
    Quick sketch to beginning of coloring, i ended up getting rid of the weird ears.


    weird concept car sketch and quick ink

    randomentity. i think yopu try to put too much detail in your drawing and they just loose their shape after a while. im not trying to sound harsh at all but i would like to see you do drawings with less detail and thicker lines.

  14. kyleisez - Kyle Crawford avatar

    kyleisez said 3 months ago

    edgil, I think you need to ad the H in front of the heights, it looks too weird, Maybe put another gig "h" somewhere to balance it

    This is cool. The linework is really good. Just need to thicken the lines up a bit on the undersides of the legs/feet

    i started playing with zbrush tonight

    things didn’t start so great

    then i found the "smooth" tool

    and then i found out how to up the polygon count

    and more progress

    messing with lighting

  35. jimiyo - Jimi Benedict avatar

    jimiyo said 2 months ago

    aye. zbrush is some crazy shiiii. i used to play with it when it first came out. sucky user interface, but awesome tool.

    you should try getting poser, exporting the models out as obj, then import and warp. bet you could do some interesting stuff.

    learning to paint:

    It’s still pretty early on in the process, and the glare from the flash makes things look worse than they really are. But, yeah. It’s fun anyway.

    heavyprints said: learning to paint: http://www.dirtay.com/acrylic_fail5.jpg

    awesome heavyprints. a scholar, gentleman, and a man of many talents. acrylic is tough. dries so fast. hard to blend. although i found using a blend medium helps. i guess oil is just as pain in the ass. easy to blend, but slow to dry. once you are done, i would pop some almost white toned paint for highlights. amazing what a smidge here and there will do.

    new wip. going to source some photos. not too heavily though. mainly for comp layout purposes.

    A lil sketch I made. Just came to my mind somehow, I quite like it.

    Please ignore the umbrella and drool drops (?), I drew them very quickly because I think it’d be the best to do them in Illustrator without any sketches anyway.

    What do you think?

    Give it some bright colors and fresh lines and I think it’ll be awesome.

    I like the honeycomb pattern a bunch, and it being over a womans half face, with her eyes covered by a mask which becomes hair makes me think about sexytime. I’m not sure how the waves fit into it all?
