[MichaelZHsee]

fabulous stuff cok3,great improvements on the orge guy,especially the one with the helmet.some crazy strokes u've got there~hehe~spooge inspired eh:scream:,keep it coming dude.

[Guesscui2006]

Hey you got some really nice stuff here! I love them all especially the Kong's head. I also like the stroke and the sketchy feeling. Keep up! :thumbsup:

[Rebeccak]

Hey, some great stuff here! Awesome to see the Bob Kato stuff here, I had him as an instructor back in my Art Center days...or was it daze? :)

At any rate, will definitely be following this thread, and pop by the Anatomy Forum when you get the chance! :thumbsup:

Cheers, :)

[PSMouse]

I've always liked really sketchy works. It amazes me how you can be so loose with the brushwork but still produce a legible image.

[mindofka]

Your raugh direct style is wonderful, I love your choice for colours and the use of strokes.

Lovely orc dude :thumbsup:
(I love very much the portrait in acquagreen colour)

[cok3]

sh@ke - thx man, spooge inspired? heheh i dunno man, wouldn't wanna make him look bad :P Nywayz, so u like the helmet version eh? dang... i just can't let go o that face though, guess i'll have to make 2 versions. Ur doin well urself :P finnish the horseman dude! i beg u! great work on the mononoke by the way.

CuirassYuan - thz for the kind words, actually the sketchy feeling is just my lazyness :P I'm tryin my best to actually make a finnished piece but it's proved harder than i thought. speedy's transform to neverending wips :P heheh

Rebeccak - thanks for the comments. Wow, thats great to hear that u had him as an instructor! Who's daze by the way, if you don't mind me askin? Been a fan of ur anatomy stuff here in cgtalk, i've read a lot of em, but haven't really gotten myself to take time and study anatomy. Anywayz i'll hope i can fight away my lazyness and get myself to pop by the anatomy forum more often (and actually post... :P)

Mindofka - thank u for your kind words. i hope i can get myself to finnish the orc dude. those portraits in acquagreen colour are actually study's (most ar copies) of bob kato's step by step portrait dvd.

PS_Mouse - Thank u, hehehe. those loose brushworks are actually attempts to cover up my horrible drawings underneath :)

gonna be away for the weekend, so i guess i'll post some "semi-old" stuff tday. step by steps. hope guys enjoy. c&c's always welcome, and paintovers would be great :)

i pretty much prefer to go straight into painting than refining the sketch, so i probly spend around 2 minutes of sketching and the rest goes into painting and tweaking while painting. not the usual way of doin thing i know, but due to my limited drawing ability this is what's worked for me for the moment.

[Nazirull]

I love your stuff!! Totally inspiring! Subscribing!!:bounce::bounce:

hey maranello55! thz for the reply man.

[kinomoto]

heyz, just found out this thread. did u sketch in paper first then painted in painter?
anyway, u r improving lots!

[cok3]

thx kinomoto! i don't really sketch on paper/pencil first since i'm a bit lazy to scan it afterwards, i usually just go straight in photoshop or painter since i'm actually more used to the wacom tablet than traditional media.

[cok3]

Been gone for a while.. should probly change the title o this thread to monthly sketch dump. been lookin at some craig mullins paintings got really inspired, here r some sketches, based on spooge's stuff. Congrats to everyone who finnished their journey entrie, it was a fun ride.

[MichaelZHsee]

[cok3]

heres some more sketches for today. Some kinda fantasy ogre warrior maybe. Not really sure what it is yet.

Was taking too much time on this sketch, so decided to go back to sillhouettes and refine some shapes. Still not what i'm looking for yet though.

[jmBoekestein]

Good loose works in here man! :thumbsup: keep it up, I think for crisping things up shape and form wise you caould try adding the specular hints to shhow how the light hits the surface in places, osme well placed dabs should do it. :)

[cok3]

Thanks a lot buddy, i really need to work on lighting in all my stuff without ref its probly one o my weakest areas, thx for the tips, i will try to improve in my next post

[zng-Y]

Yeah great sketches n work in here! Indeed, somtimes i miss the lightning too, but nevertheless realy cool works.

[Iridyse]

You have some really interesting sketches here! I like how you carve out the negative space with all the little bits around. The blue one is gorgeous!

[cok3]

thanks Iridyse and zng-y, i appreciate your comments.

heres a warmup for eon, not really worth to post in the eon page yet. just for fun, just some ideas on patricia.

Awesome thread, cok3. Your style is fresh and edgy. Plus the texturing is just insane. Keep pounding them out :thumbsup:

[cok3]

thz mike nd daniel, appreciate ur comments :D

[aldog]

Your last one you've posted is just great. The lighting, the angle, the colors, it's great.

[Runecaster]

I Love Shannon Sossamon, that pic has been in my 'people' folder for awhile now :D

http://www.aequinox.com/images/shannonsoss.jpg

A Knight's Tale was her very first movie =D Great flick :D

Dig the hoooooouuge texture brushes!!


You know I wonder if someone painted her whole body if people would freak out and call the anatomy wonky because she has a really long torso... haha!

[cok3]

hahah thanks Runecaster. YEah she looks like she's got a pretty long torso now that you mention it hahah, i still think she's superfine though :scream: Hey do you have a larger version of that pic of yours? Its got way better colors than the reference i was looking at

[Oninoko21]

Runecaster,

Hey I have that pic in my Celebrities folder too!! hehe

[Runecaster]

she is seriously too beautiful not to capture :)

This was the only one I had cok -- I just nabbed it browsing one day.


can I ask you a question? How you handled her hair -- I really like that. How did you do that? I see some eraser work, but there is like this cool textured opacity.... I just love how that looks.

[cok3]

i didn't really have a real systematic method when doing this portrait. I sometimes like to copy merged the whole image and see what happens. Kinda had an appy accident when i set it to linear doge or something. Loved the pinkish shadows so i decided to accentuate that more. Some areas like the hair weren't working that well (too dark) so I slowly erased to the underlying layer. Sometimes i use a pretty large brush, set it to color blending and put some strokes near the edges of her hair to add some sort of lighting effect. Just play around with the brush and layer blending modes the opacities of those layers. happy accidents are bound to happen. Thanks for dropping by my thread.

[cok3]

This ones not finnished yet. Plan to take this slower and hopefully more detailed than my other portraits.

I'm late to the party here but I like your character here called "Stripes". Cool name and freakily cool looking dude.

Diegoth - thanks buddy

[cok3]

Here r some updates for the orc dude I did way back. Still not really good with the details.

didn't really like this one. didn't seem faithful to the original sketch.
http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/2654/orcronin35ok.jpg

this ones a lil better in my opinion but still not there.

[cok3]

Some more updates on a concept for a scene

[stuh505]

cok, some really fab stuff here...i like your impressionist style, and i particularly like the detailed girl portrait. your last pic, the djinn, strongly reminds me of greg staples' djinn:

http://www.wizards.com/magic/images/mtgcom/wallpapers/Wallpaper_MahamotiDjinn_1024x768.jpg

[Asatira]

Hi, thought I'd check out your thread. Some great stuff. I like the scythe pic in post 24, namely how it glowed around the "scythe". And I especially loved the second image in 34, I think you did a great job adapting the source and keeping in the spirit and all that. Lastly, I just love all the textures. I have yet to get the nerve to practice digital, but to have textures in my pieces like they are in yours are something I hope to get.

[MichaelZHsee]

man,this thread showed tons of improvement in ur work.i'm impressed and some of these actually blowed me away!those quick thumbs study are pure awesome!

hehe,yeah i will try to finish that horseman piece before christmas:D

[cok3]

stuh505 - thanks bro, glad you like my sketches and the portrait. Yeah come to think of it the djinn guy looks almost exactly like staples pic hahah, especially the face. Kind of a consequense of lookin at too much reference i guess hahah. Loves staples work though man such a big inspiration. His recent Warcraft card illustrations are awesome!

Asatira - thanks for the comment on the scyth pic. Will be glad to share any techniques on textures like you mentioned however do keep in mind that most o these are actually purely accidental. I have started labeling my layers properly now to prevent happy accidents from being forgotten. So whatever I know I'll be glad to share (I don't like keepin secrets).

Mike - yo dude thanks for the heads up, well hope i can keep improvin man, lookin forward to doin som collabs with ya someday. And yeah, do try to finnish that horesman bro, i know its still in the sketch stages but even then it keeps knockin my socks off.. cheers man, cya around

[cok3]

Hey there. Are you going to finish this character (sorry if you have already said what you plan on him)? Just thought he would be nice to look at finished.

[cok3]

Wow, you have a really nice little gallery goin' on here!
I'm loving your technique, it's very expressive. I especially like the little thumbnails and the latest portrait you posted, you show a great sense of movement in the thumbs and the portrait is superbly coloured. Keep it up man!

[cok3]

thanks a lot buddy! workin on some new stuff. will post em soon

[arnocob]

:)
Hi!
Really a good work!
Your quick mouvement's thumbs/studies are really impressive.
Bye

[kaladen]

hello,
I agree with Arno, the quick sketches are great, this thread has to be seen!

Cheers

[Salubri3i]

hey! that one with the girl looks awesome man. :)

[cok3]

arnocob - thanks a lot! glad you like the studies, i'll try my best to do more of those

kaladen - thank you hahah, i really appreciate your comment

Salubri3i - thanks buddy!

here are some more quick characters. didn't have much time spent on these because i did them last minute and had to pass em up for class... I'll revisit these to finnish em off, and i'll work on more members for the band

http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/995/chardes1az8.jpg

[cok3]

Here are some more newer ones

can't really tell whats going on here hahah but it was a fun learning experience
http://img463.imageshack.us/img463/853/fig1bakst1.jpg

and some random characters
http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/4750/thumb2qw6.jpg

revisited an old sketch o mine and blew it up. lookes kinda blurred and pixelated but i liked the effect. provides an interesting base for painting more details
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/1959/thumb1ck7.jpg

Revisited an old character sketch of mine, and gave him a sidekick. the first guys more of an agile sniper type o character while the other one is the heavy weapons dude
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/796/thumb3sd5.jpg

[razz]

Great new stuff Jose. I find the faces to be the most awesome. Just very beautiful. And in this last one all the chaos around the face crates a nice feeling.
The revisited characters are good, only a bit hard to read. For example if someone would have to turn them into 3d. Well, you get the idea. The silhouettes read very well though and I find that sketchy look pleasurable.

Hey, and post more!

[PeGGO]

WoW..!!

What style..!!!
really stunning hand and eye...!!
I like your work so much.. considering that I watch you first page only..!!
greetings and see you..!!!
:D

[danielh68]

Those last sketches are awesome...very fluid and abstract.:thumbsup:
