sry for BIG images)
A lot of you guys are huge inspiration to me, I have been browsing here for 1 1/2 years now. 95% of what I know about art, I've learned here or at Conceptart.org. It is now time to stop being selfish and to start taking the time of posting stuff. Hopefully, I can give back some of the inspiration I have taken from this awesome online community. Sorry if most of these dont have step-by-steps but from now on, Ill be doing a lot more of those.

I really like your last few environments, though. Very nice
MightyPea: I like it when there are some grainy details to a piece, but maybe that balance between crispiness and abstract isnt quite there yet. I am a big fan of Kekai's work and I a still doing some tests to figure this out. So that definitely something I need to work on. Maybe thi piece is missing a detailing pass that will sharpened out those details.
Don't take this wrong, but I do feel like each piece is ......eeeeeeeeALMOST "there" (and I mean that as a point of enthusiasm and encouragement!) I really like your black and whites, but your colors are losing definition. Use color similarly to value. Yeah, you can get nice gradations, but just like a dark gray separates from it's inverse on the scale, the same with hue or saturation is true. Try flattening out your colors a little more at the edges so that there is a distinction between forms. Of course, this depends on where you are trying to lead the eye, but in the first image: his right hand/forearm, sword, and armor seem like they need more prominence. I think as you reference Kekai, in terms of grunge/details, he uses the separation of crisp edges and details from less-important areas that have only implied details.
Here's a 45 min sketch.
I'm surprised how well the bird pic comes together. The head seems more finely rendered then the rest, but ties in fine. The smooth curving shapes at the tail area are the only real distraction for me. They're close to centre and make for some bold lines.
Good stuff.
M3anBONE_sj_:Thx
Vig: heh thank you, I didnt have any intention on the subject, I guess that helped
Heres a mini tutorial on the brush I use and how I use it.

. Ill be posting some modeling steps for it here.
Nado
heres a new sketch, 2-3 hrs
Jesterbox, thanks, I have been sticking with this funky brush for a while, I like also the effect it gives, I use that and dodge on my black and whites to set down the values.
new pic, I took my time , 8 hours no refs.
great color choices as well. great job
A character swap would be the perfect to give me some insight on dynamic poses. If you still agree to do one, Id love to make the ninja and cat, they are my favorites
here another late night sketch...
Here is a sketch trade I did with Jouste. He is a huge inspiration to me, and a crazy art pumping machine
---The Hexecutioner--
http://i249.photobucket.com/albums/gg219/1_jouste/hexecutioner.jpg
thanks Jouste for shooting out the idea! I learned tons from doing this.
i'd really like to do some more of these trades in the future if you get the time.
the character has got suuuch great brushwork. love the metal and the light hits and how the siloette sells so much of the wieght the character has.
amazing job good sir
*claps
EDIT: goddamn it i bumped it over to the next page :{ sorry dude
Heres a shirt design I did last week.
Just took a look at your sketchbook.
Great skills in both 2D and 3D!
Inspired me to have a go at some Photoshop painting again!
....ok so I just came back from this christmas party and I started drawing swirls in a very drunk/clueless state until I progressively sobered up and ended up with this frazetta warrior guy.
Happy holidays!
p.s. more sketch trading!
bounchfx - thanks!
Tinfoil hommage , about 2 1/2 hours
30 min sketch
I havnt posted anything in months, *slaps self*

There, a sketch trade with Jouste's!!
in case you missed it: http://boards.polycount.net/showpost.php?p=967272&postcount=342
Very inspired by the awesome and dynamic nature of his illustrations.
Its the bust for Jouste's BrainShot : Ive tried putting in more detail and posture, character etc...And something many of my illustrations lacked' facial expression.
So thanks Jouste for the inspiration this one's for you, hope you like it as much I like La-senzian!
night fellas.
keep up the great work pal. always good seeing new stuff from you.
great sketch trading!
Alec3d: thanks! I would recommend checking out JF. Targete's DVD volume 1-2 those are the first concept art DVDs I ever watched, they really inspired me alot.
Jouste: heya! thanks for noticing the style or process change, I think its mostly do to being more patient, trying to draw the lineart more than pushing values and painting as fast as I can.
Heres a quickie for tonight, kind of inspired by the sandwhich form of castle crashers.
chesh slow update, im sry !
heres are the steps for the image
Probably because your wolfman is also green.
Very nice wolfman.
And everything else as well.
I was going to say I particularly like your environments but I particularly like everything here. Brilliant style.
