Thanks Ged. He is meant to be swimming tbh. Or should I say sinking coz that gun would drag him straight down...Anyway. Yep Skulls n that would look good. Anyhoo...Onward Did another "Giant Amphibious War Beast" (Unfinished as well) CgTalk Daily Sketch 2103 35 mn "◦death rides a horse" 35mins 1.5hrs…
Cheers Rich :) Pearson: Thanks man. I think your spot on about the brush size. Its too uniform and a bit scratchy through out. I tried to add focus on the central spire by increasing the contrast there...but I dont think its worked and it's unbalanced the Atmospheric perspective. Anyway...Lesson learned. I plan to try and…
Whoa, Long time no post here! Btw, Thanks Pior. Sorry such a late reply. I never really come to the sketchbook threads anymore. Saw this video over on G+ http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=y4OwR1Pj_DU Haven't used Alchemy for ages so I thought i'd wack out a quick 15 min sketch at lunch. Kinda ended up…
Cheers Stephen. Expect a lot more zombies in future and some of them might well be sharks or other animals. In the meantime. Here's a mock up Woodland sketch. I plan to use this as the backdrop for a piece I've been thinking about for a while now. I'll not say too much yet but it involves a meeting between two of the…

I think it doesnt get you where you want to go. Do studies and stuff, not random pictures out of your mind. You first have to get a library in your mind in…
Thanks JaySmitt :). I must admit i hadnt heard of HatchFX. Brilliant stuff!. One studio that has been my main inspiration is Steambot Studios. Check them out if you havent heard of them. They recently published a book called Exodyssey. Which is just massive ammounts of awesomeness. Anyway. Sorry for the lack of updates…
Cheers paulsvoboda. Yes. I agree with all you've said tbh. I dont use any photo reference at all on the speed sketches. And I know that if I did, my work would be far better. But when I sit down to do a speed painting I just want to get on with it and not have to dig out pictures to work from. At the moment i'm in a bit of…
Thanks for the comments guys. I was really please with the way "Hello Crab" turned out. I really like underwater scenes so expect alot more like it to come. Ok. Here's what i've been doing the past few days. I wanted to explore some other ways to highlight and shade the silhouetted scene. So I spent a lot longer than I…
