Your recent work is RAD, dude. You've really hit a stride with the last few pages.
I'd like to see you push perspective a lot more. Many of your more dynamic poses (dancer, librarian) are lacking that extra oompf from perspective. Do you own Force?
Thanks for the love guys. @Joe - Yeah, I do own it. Such a great book. I need to do some more traditional sketching. Tablet drawing feels a bit rigid and limited at times. I'll flip through it again.
Yo man! I very much admire how consistent your recent work is. And that 3d hammer is tiiiiight! What's your process on the heads? Are they starting out as sketches like the demon heads above?
Hey man, thanks a bunch. I'm digging your work on Overdose. Shit's killer. With the heads I just kind of built each one up from nothing. No real sketch for any of it; I just started messing with shapes and then found stuff that worked.
nyx - yeah, looking to start at Schell soon. I'm pretty excited :]
I remember watching Return of the Jedi as a kid and all of the interesting devices on Jaba’s slave barge. The most interesting to me was R2D2′s bartender conversion. I took that concept and applied it to a thumb sketch I did at the airport.
Felt like working my brain a bit today. Took some quick shapes in Alchemy and decided to make some helmet profiles.
I also took one shape and rotated, flipped, and skewed it to see what the angles would do to my perception. It just goes to show the versatility of basic shapes.
I've been needing to work on my environment and vehicle renderings (perspective mostly) so I'm starting a new little project.
I started with ArtRage's pencil tools. ArtRage is great for perspective sketching because you can CTRL + Drag your cursor for a straight line that goes where you want it to. This helps speed up the process of making guidelines for your drawings and is overall much more enjoyable. C+C is welcome
I love the helmet designs from those alchemy shapes! The top most ones are my favorites, they remind me of the mech designs in Zone of The Enders. Thanks for posting them as animated gifs!

Your progress, even on page 1 is insane. The jump you made in the 09-10 year and then the next 6 months is crazy. It's very motivating to see. What were you doing that year you took off? I imagine it was just drawing oodles. Just curious if you had a certain plan, class, etc that really pushed you cause it's impressive man.
Your new stuff is looking great. Threads like this are one of the things I love about PC. Can't wait to see this in another year.
Your work is top notch man, I really enjoy looking through your sketchbook and blog! Definitely very much an inspiration! Thanks for sharing Congratz on the contest!!!
Haha, the new avatar is awesome! You've come a long way even just over the past year. I love watching you experiment, and seeing you post your stuff so often.

Greg: I might expand them. Some have potential, but I think I'd have to do more to merit detailing them.
Had some fun in Zbrush while watching Zombieland tonight. Mostly working with the Clay and Pinch brushes.
(I just finished watching crunch cast 33 haha)

Here's some recent work from the DS2 contest.
Gotta learn how to do that
Also, make that chick in 3D; like now!
tsabszy - I planned on it but I haven't checked it out in a while. I'll take a peek at the page today.
doodles!

THIS! I can't describe how much I love this.

And I also like the service droid. Can really picture this in the star wars universe.
SHOW ME POTATO SALAD!
