Sketchbook: Kyle Jensen

KyleJensen

Hey there! I'm gonna use this thread as a place to post 2D concept-related work, whether it be for projects, practice, or just for fun. I'm more focused on 3D, but I enjoy doing 2D work. Feel free to comment and/or critique. I'm always open to tips, suggestions, etc.

So let's get this started!

Really nice use of values in the last illustration

KyleJensen

Thanks for the feedback guys.

Here's something I've worked on recently. Just an iteration of one of the thief sketches I posted earlier:

Been a while since I last posted in this thread. Here are some environment sketches (and an action scene)

squareko

Good work. Now color them!

Jessica Dinh

Sweet thumbnails! Middle ones are my fav - instant read and nice, wide value ranges. I'd also love to see one of them taken to a colored finish:]

Selaznog

Yeah, middle two thumbs are awesome. I actually really like the first one too. Would be fun to make in 3d

KyleJensen

Thanks for the feedback.

@Squareko, Jessica Dinh, and Selaznog: I'll go ahead and color a few. I'm probably going to end up turning at least one of these into a 3D environment.

Krell

I love these environments! It's what I imagine it would look like if Middle-Earth had an Asian land. Must color! These have such a wonderful sense of space, I'd love to see good atmospheric perspective applied to them. Good luck!

KyleJensen

@Krell: Thanks, man!

Hey everyone, I was out of town for a week, but I've been doing a lot of painting/sketching lately since then. Here are a few of the things I've been working on:



This one is still a WIP because I took a tiny break to do some weapon sketches:



And here are the aforementioned weapon sketches:

A few warm-up swords:


A round of butterfly swords:



And here's a quick monster sketch I did a few weeks ago, but forgot to post it in here:

Thanks for the feedback. I'll give night/dusk scenes a shot sometime.

Made a revision to one of the thrones. Ended up combining them:
