I really love your work. Do you start with a pencil drawing, or just do it all in PS (you use photoshop, right?)

[charlie brown]

thanks sparky.
I never use a scanned sketch, although i should do edleast sometimes, too lazy i guess. Yes i use only ps but will do some stuff in painter when i get my head round it :)

Superb, i love pictures like this as it really shows... gah im lost for words :(

but needless to say i REALLY like it :D good work, how long did it take though?

[charlie brown]

Thanks jackal, it took one hour, no more no less. Ive started to use a timer so i dont noodle and get on with the important stuff ;) if you like stuff like this check my site, its full of this kinda crap.

[Littlejeans]

Yeah dude -
I love the slight texturing you get using that 'spattered' brush - very cool. Plus your sense of color is really bang on. I'd love to know more about hwo you work as well.

Very nice. Reminds me of Craig Mullins? Is he an influence?

[georgh]

Great..........these look really good...........like this style....
browsed your site too.............. thumbs up......

and in just one hour.......

[buzzz3d]

Wow!
I wonder when you're going to post this in the Finished Work forum since it looks totally awesome as it is now.

If you could give some insight in the way you work, that would be very much appreciated :)

How on earth do you get that grainy look?

Cheers,

Erik

[jadedchron]

Such a nice grasp of light and everything on your site. GJ

[charlie brown]

BMunch -yeah i get that quite a lot, yes an influence among others.
Thanks juju, an hour is plenty, it gives me time to put down whats important, most people tend to noodle and thats what takes the time. this is aside from rendering.
Erik, cheers :) I dont tend to post in the finished section, people tend to just send me back here, i will render some stuff out soon, but im not too concerned about the wow factor, i could render some stuff til it looks good i guess, but ill just hide in here. maybe i should copy a photo for 18 hours and then i dunno.. stick on some elf ears?, im too impatient for that and id also like to get better ;)
Dunno what grainy look you mean.. the textured brushes? busy areas? If anything specific, pm me.
jadedchron- thanks, i dont think my grasp on light is anything special i use a lot of cheap eye tricks, there is a lot you can play up. My site needs updating, i have a folder full of crap i need to sieve thru the html torture chamber. dont judge me on most of the crap i have there ;)

[georgh]

I must say again................for a whole amount of "CRAP".................I really like all your crap.............please update much more "crap" on your website :)
I like your crap very much and am very imspired to work my way to getting work done so quickly...........thats definately on my "to do list"

[zionlocke]

Yes! Your crap is nice stuff! Keep up the good work!

[niut]

really nice piece! Keep the good work!!!
