Hi folks

In a bid to get my lazy butt into gear i'm creating a thread with my latest sketches, paintings, that i'll try and keep updated regulary aswell as posting on other threads and generally becoming more proactive.

If you can stop by to a leave a crit that would be awesome. I'm not afraid of criticsm so really lay into my work, I mean it dont hold back, just as long as its constructive please! :)

Anyway enough of my babbling, on with the images!!

IMO the image is just too dark. I can't really see any details. (It could just be my computer though.) The creatures seem to have interesting poses, like they walk in an exagerated manor, I'd love to see this lightened up a bit. Good work so far.

Good luck keeping motivated. I've been trying to build a decent portfolio for months now but can't seem to find the drive anymore. So more power to ya, let me know if you find a good motivational tool, huh?

Looking forward to your updates, peace!

Thanks for the kind words Wiggin. Your dead on about the darkness, im having nightmare problems getting this damn monitor calibrated right. I want to create a dark apocalyptic atmosphere with the piece. I've tweaked the image below, hopefully its not so dark!

On motivation, I'm just fed up with my job as 3d designer, that's enough motivation to get my ass in gear lol! Also, I look at others work and see how they solve certain problems (eg light, colour, texture). More over, I try and have fun. Before, I was so obsessed with becoming good enough to go professional, that I stopped the flow and got burnt out. Now I try and focus on the basics (colour, light, form and composition) and have fun with it. :)
