No reference at all?
I'cant wait for the next one from you!

[dinfet]

brilliant, 5* from, post more soon

[SrPaquito]

Ey!

I only use references for the hand, some friends usually says to me that i always draw girls with very masculine hands...well, it's my own hand, so... they have part of reason.

Here's a detail and thank you for the comments!

sorry for my bad english !

[prasa]

Superb! 5* from me! :thumbsup:

[Ishtar]

beautiful work, especially on the light and the treatment of the character: skin, hair… The coffee machine is extra! ;-)

[patboy]

Awesome work man! the skin is so beautiful!:buttrock: and it looks like she really needs the coffee.haha.

[Maidith]

Hi David,
this is a great painting, you have a very good knowledge of technique.

I think she looks a little too young (despite the breasts) to be wearing clothes like that, but maybe that's just me...

Kristina

[Wildlifehoodoo]

Totally blown away! The skin tones are just perfect!

[G-FLUX]

DAMN THIS IS GOOD. VERY WELL DONE, REALLY LIKE THE HAIR. :eek:

[yakonusuke]

Inspiring- Like it a lot.

[SadElegy]

Wow, great lighting!! exelent job!! 5 stars!! :applause:

[Markovah]

i love it so much! it so cute yet very impressive

[nicponim]

awesome! i love character,amazing colours! Great job dude;]

[Chupacabra]

Phuckin' awesome!

"You wouldn't like me when i'm angry ("The incredible Hulk")..."

Hats off, dude!

[veljko-lemonade]

one word: AMAZING....

my god:)

[jramauri]

Man, really impressive, one of the best images I've seen here on last times. 5 stars! Maidith said that she looks too young...In my opinion too. But I believe it wasn't your intention. I had some problems with this in a recent work. It seems that we just can draw woman with enormous breasts and hips, otherwise people think they are kids. :shrug:

[Kyena]

Super awesome. I specially love the minimalistic approach, your style including the overall design and the mood you create with such little to work with.

Real eye candy :)

[Emthree]

Great character, and fantastic pose!

I clicked on your portfolio a second after i saw this and found only this picture. :( I guess ill have to add it to my favorites and wait to see what you have for us next!

[LuizPerezLentini]

Great post. I love all...colors, composition...and the girl is is so sweet, and have great and strong personality too....I can´t wait to see more. Do you have a web site?

[AlyFell]

Really really excellent work on so many levels! :)

[FRENZIEDmind]

SPECTACULAR!

Is that communist coffee (the red star on he military-style-looking coffee-bot)? :D

[mikebot]

amazing work.

and I WANT A COFFEE BOT.

[Dianae]

Excellent work!
5 stars

[PapaNinja]

Amazing .... Oo

[scala]

In the spirit of Norman Rockwell ( see the little foot ) a great great work . 5 * of course and an award and when you gonna have the award lets create another one for you ....

[IlCattivo]

Just love it, brilliant!

[MoonVisionStudio]

Dang, that's GOOD. You and Olijosman have that realism genetically ingrained... Gotta clean up the drool.

Just dawned on me, if this was a little contest at work, I'd love to see the other artists stuff.

[ekah]

In the spirit of Norman Rockwell ( see the little foot ) a great great work ....

Haha, my thoughts exactly. It's a surreal, modern Norman Rockwell. This isn't a criticism. On the contrary. The rendering is really fantatic. As for the subject matter, that's me every morning. ;)

[andreasrocha]

David, you have my admiration. It's a shame you don't have anything more on the internet...I searched and found nothing. Please, show us more of your work. It would be wonderful to see some in process images.

+5

:scream: Yeah, I'm searched a lot too and i found something in avatarpress.com web site.
Only a couple of nice covers here (http://www.avatarpress.com/junglefantasy/jf4cabrerafauna.jpg) and here (http://www.avatarpress.com/hellina/hellinaseductioncabrera.htm)

I'll waitng for more art :thumbsup:

Just dawned on me, if this was a little contest at work, I'd love to see the other artists stuff.

jejeje, Precisely olijosman was the causer of the challenge :thumbsup:. A "no hay huevos...challenge" we call here. Really it was a personal challenge proposed by my companions after knowing the work of olijosman, who we admire so much. So no more competitors.

I did some works to avatar press and IDW publishing few years ago, and after a "relaxed time" in the world of the CGanimation realizing studies of color, backgrounds, mattes, etc... I want to start drawing new personal material with all that i learned.


Thank you to all for the comments!!! it's really a pleasure!!! No web yet and no much extend CV, hope that change in no much time.

here an sketch...

i prefer to paint from shadows to lights, and no so much tricks....version 6 of photoshop (i like the airbrush and the brush in diferent tools...J 'n' B...odd habits i supose) and things like a noise pass at end to get off the antinatural digital aspect of colors.

Bye!

[AspiriN]

Great work.. no more words :S

[siouxfire]

I LOVE this.

(And it's not often I'm stuck with so few words like that)

[CharlesVarenne]

That is greattttt, I like it a lot

[digital-bobert]

Awesome. I love it

[jgriffin]

Amazing work, I can really feel her restlessness. Wonderful Work!

[siouxfire]

Now that I've peeled my eyes off the monitor, I have to say this is one of the best paintings I've seen in a long time. I had to take a look at the Kandar website and it's amazing; what a brilliant collection of works. I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Are you a fan of Jamie Hewlett by any chance?

HI! Thanks! but it's not kandar, it's kandor (http://www.kandorgraphics.com)
Kandar are a gore-films producers, and kandor is a cganimation studio for childs XD

And yes...She's a little look like Noodle! :)

[GreenShellFactor]

First of all, it's great to see 2d that looks 3d. The character itself is great too - it reminds me of Noodle from the Gorillaz. Keep up the amazing work!

Oops. Well, same site that I saw.

Are you working full time or do you also work freelance?

[notpill]

plugged! I told you so :)

[Adam]

This piece is really awesome. And I have to disagree that she looks a little young. Although she doesn't look like the average 22 year old she is easily believable as 22. She looks young for her age but not unbelievable. I have known plenty of girls in college that look like this but are not minors. Also I really love her her proportions, although her hands and feet seem big I think they add alot to her character. If she was purely realistic and not stylized she would not be nearly as interesting. All in all a really amazing piece

[ced66]

Amazing work !!!
5 stars for me :)

[Jadetiger]

Superb job. Love the lighting and the details around the hands and feet. 5*

[ManoVelho]

You did a GREAT work man, don't bother with people saying that she looks too young.

[Spex84]

Awesome! I enjoy how the design of the coffee pot suggests movement...the bellows-pump, the tap, the hose, and then, finally, the dribbling flow of coffee.
My only crit is that her knee is 0.o kind of large!

[VonMarsch]

Beutiful! Very realistic and stylized... :D I specially like her legs and lightning on her thighs. I also like how you made your sigranure as part of the picture. 5 stars and "save as"

[Blackhorse]

oh, this is a kind of Contemperary Art. Very good idea and nice expression of the girl. I really like this painting. very very like it...

[Digiegg]

Normally I don't stare at an image for too long but this.. wow.
You've captured the morning mood so perfectly w/ the expression of her face and her body language! Beautifully done. Her toes curling on top of the other foot is just absolute genius!
Love the colors you've chosen to paint this piece. Bravo my friend!

[IestynRoberts]

You've done an excellent job here! I first thought it was 3D! The shading and lighting is spot on! I like the simple background as well - this has gone straight into my 'insperation' folder.

[Orbits]

Simply Amazing

5 Stars

[TRHaDEs]

Awesome pic,great view~I like it~:thumbsup:

[Curia]

if this doesn't get an award, then i don't know what does. i question the "art judges" more often than not.

[wesware]

That is really just a great image... artistically and technically speaking (imo).
I'd swear it's 3d (not because of the look)... only because you took such care in the details such as the knuckles reflecting in the mug... along with other subtle lighting properties... also looks like a little sheen or reflection on the tattoo... all very nice, things that if prepared correctly would be done for you in a render engine. Hope that came out right :)

Excellent.

[MrPositive]

Pro is what comes to mind first. Your understanding of the human figure and the style you've developed is nasty awesome.

[Kei-Acedera]

Ah! what a coool piece! I love the style and colors--very nicely done! fantastic! cant wait to see more :)

[wolfbane]

U stunned me man! i LOVE it... the concept, execution and style is very unique. It looked very 3d to me too :) gr8t work! really love it!

[DarkTownArt]

You are too good to be true - oh look how all people have already said what I wanted to tell you :D

[warpy]

huge! so funny.. 5 stars

[kenshinw95]

Yeah. I myself thought it was 3D artwork. Well, originally 3D, but painted in a paint program. Looks great. :thumbsup:

Well, except for the already pointed out hand, and knees. The youth "problem" maybe be caused by her small looking torso. Maybe that's what's making her look younger than what she is supposed to be? :shrug:

Also liked the aforementioned P-Chan tattoo, and the possibly unmentioned Akira coffee mug. :)

[Raul-Reznek]

beautiful! i like the whole thing, very nice! :)

[tinitus]

good morning everyone...this is exactly the mood I am in right now!great work...really!

[rasmusW]

hahahah... that's exactly how i feel in the morning.
great image and beautyful execution.

[Gabba]

:eek:

:bounce:

:scream:

:love:


No words... fantastic!

[AndyH]

Wow, this is outstanding!


Superb idea - so funny!

Love the posing too - right down to the feet positioning. Loads of character. Her face expression is excellent - she looks really tired

The tones and shading are spot on, and i love the little touches, such as the Ranma pig tattoo.

5 stars all the way, and a very very well deserved front page!

[animalunae]

Wha, really cool drawing, very monday morning! :)

[Ramitxon]

Impresionante.
Awesome man, excellent work. I didn't know Kandor studios, great stuff you have there, hope to see a lot more images from you. 5 stars.

[GQ1]

I love it! one more for the road ;)

[michael-olszak]

Nice piece man. i love the lightning here. awesome.

[duddlebug]

BliMEY!!

What a stunning piece of work! Absolutely jam-packed with character and finished off with incredible technique. Everything about it is just so very very RiGHT!

I LOVE it.

I even voted and i never vote... 5 stars and worth more! ;)

[shtl]

¡wow! perfeeect!

construction is nice
light beautyfull
funny image
stuning mood


just maybe is she a very little too rough? But this is might be a question of taste? Well in an another way, the fact she looks like a little boy a bit, gives her this "not yet awaked" not yet refined...
Funny, I just awake too and without some cofee I feel just like the same!

Thanks for sharing


¡5 stars!

[Guanny]

¡¡¡Wow!!!,

Really great work dude.

Five from me :):):):):)

[galgot]

***** ! The style make me think of Norman Rockwell... Superb.

[hertzchim]

the material of the coffee driod is totally superb, just the right amount of reflectivity - surprised it's not a 3D element drop in

I love the painterly quality of the skin of the girl and the super-sleepy pose - the hair is extremely distinctive and the presentation (that 50% grey look) is eye-pokingly good.

it's all good - I 5***** this with no qualms

[Digitalpaint]

Awesome!:scream: :thumbsup: 5*

Hello to all y tal.
This first illustration was made in photoshop in answer to a little challenge proposed at work. it's really a good way to spend freetime for practice...for me, the only way in fact.

Hope you like it, and please be patients with my english in future posts!

[Dosia]

Real wow idea! Inspirative idea! Tnx )

Buen trabajo tio ;)

Lovely work. Beautiful use of colour.

[Dennik]

Awesome concept, rendering, lighting, mood, subtle stylization.
I'm just awed, and surprised that we haven't seen more of you before.
The whole thing is such a tease. I wish it was a frame from an upcoming movie. Darn!

[SrPaquito]

this pretty amazing mostly... havent done it in a while but i signed in just to comment on this... did you use any textures on the skin?


Hi!, I use a filter/texturizer/sandstone in a grey top layer in overlay mode, and mask the zones i don't need. In this case was valid for the skin, the chair and the sock. And them add a noise to all...here you can see how that affects! :thumbsup:

Efectivamente, en España no es precisamente talento lo que falta.

Un saludo a todos! Greetings for all!

[roqsteady]

MR. little is it?


i use mask in photoshop too, sometimes i forget all the nice things u can achieve with a mask... i usually find existing texture and sometime i use filters... but none of the work i have posted here reflect what im doing now...

ahh tu saves... yo necescito prakticar en espanol... muy prakticar

These days one cannot tell what's in 2D and in 3D anymore.

This looks too 3D if you ask me...wow!

Well, well done! ;)

[paultheplumber]

Where can I purchase one of these flying coffee bots, and more inportantly, do they make flying tea bots?

[michelkoch]

Wow, I'm speechless !
The renreding is perfect, I don't know how you can achieve such a smoothness in Photoshop.

The colors, anatomy, and concept are brilliant :)

[Briareos]

:thumbsup:
Thanks for posting.

[ha-dou-ken]

Thank you for this incredible image. The style just bleeds from the image. Too cool. And that texturing tip is awesome too. THANKS! *****:bounce:

Wow, this is an awesome piece. Almost looks like a 3D render... the lighting is so good.

Great work! :thumbsup: (http://www.vancefry.com)

[francis001]

that is amazing. really lovely rendering and draftsmanship!

[hamairon]

great textures!
amazing lights!

[nethus]

wow.. that is incredible..

beatiful work!

[Pamyla]

Wow awesome concept and artwork!

[ploink34]

Unbelievably well crafted!! I love everything about it. The lights, especially around the hair. Skin tones great, Character sits in space, expression conveys what is is suppose to convey. (Easier said than done)

The only thing I don't like is that she seems to trust that coffee thinga-ma-jig, a little to much. One wobble and I can see her skin tones changing to something less desirable and more painful.

keep up the good work.

[lauranonce]

great! it's amazing as subject and how it's painted...

[pkok]

totally amazing! Deserve front page

[PavelPetrenko]

Very, Very cool work! :thumbsup:

[Cityboy]

I just cannot believe that this is straight photoshop. You would think Max or Maya is somewhere in there.

Your skill in texturing is superb!

[ABT]

i just wonder where comes the light
from the girl, it seems the light comes from the background towards the screen
but the background isn't bright
anyway well done

[Is-boset]

I made a wallpaper for may desktop with your image, terrific, I want to see more!

[alexichabane]

Great stuff! The soft skin tones and the rim light are particularly impressive, and I love the character's expression. I need a robot like that. Alexi

[AnimZiggy]

excellent piece of work! i loved your sketch too very strong, i bet you would do great comics!
now where can i find that coffee machine? i want one :deal:

Sadly

Being the artist I am, I can appeciate the painting skills of the artist.

What I DON'T appeciate is the message and that it is a little girl with
her panties kinda off her, and that she look like a seven year old abused girl.

So I'm NOT offending the ART oonly the SUBJECT and it's MESSAGE.

What the hell? Are you kidding? She looks like an adult Asian girl to me(my half-sister is Korean). Also, I'm surprised you don't notice the character is highly stylised and similar to Noodle from the Gorillaz or Jamie Hewlett's other work(adults by the way). And would you consider a statue in a fountain of a nude child offensive or carrying some "message"?

And how does she look "abused"? How many seven year old girls do you know with whopping big tattoos with breasts who drink coffee in the morning?

You really should be careful about accusing someone of something so serious or at least choose your words more carefully. You make a lot of assumptions on the motive of the artist and stating what the message "is" like it's a fact when it most definitely is not.

How could you even call yourself "artist" when you are judging others' arts with such twisted perception? don't try to bring your issues and baggages into this forum, man!

I think you are such a "sad" case who thrives to get attention.

sorry, I looked at your portfolio and nothing was impressive as this art.
Whoa. That's a little much. I didn't agree with how he expressed hisself(he's entitled to his opinion), but there's no need to critcise his work or call him "sad".

[Rebeccak]

Please knock off the bickering or this thread will have to be closed.

Thanks,

I definitely went too far..going back to reading what I said..

I can't judge sadly's art based on what he said or done...it was my bad..it's his right to express his thoughts...

I do overeact when I don't agree with others..I guess..especially when someone sees the world in narrow view or with closed mind (i guess that's my opinion, too)

anyway, my apologies

[Rebeccak]

nitesword,

Thank you for your apology, please remember that these forums are heavily moderated to prevent flaming to and amongst artists. I know that you are new here, but we try to maintain a respectful tone on the forums. It's not to say that you cannot critique work, but please refrain from acting in a beligerent way towards individuals.

So long as the rules are respected here, you will learn a lot here on CGTalk. :)

EDIT: For the record, I plugged the image, and I'm asian and female, and don't find the image offensive at all. However, everyone is certainly entitled to their opinion. :)

Cheers,

[gangus]

Amazing image,

Welcome to CGtalk!
I love the presence of this piece- the way you have simplified the background to make the subject stand out more.

The characterization of the girl is awesome, the coffe machine brilliant in it's simplicity.

excellent!!
5 stars from me

Respectfully,
Gangus

[gangus]

wow I just read the controvercial talk! Sorry about that dude. It can happen

on such public forums. Please don't take this as the norm, people are ussually really cool here.
I hope this hasn't turned you off CGtalk. Trust in the quality of the moderators- your stay here
should be pleasant, and they will do their utmost to see it that way.

Speaking from experience.
Respectfully,
Glen

PS-I don't see any of the things that were implied.

[nitesword]

it was not cool calling those with different views as "closed mind" and questioning their professionalism...

What I don't understand is people making assumptions based on their perception, instead looking at the context and see what is really happening.

The context here is a girl who just got up, which is done very well with her eyes closed, one sock missing, and panties sort of coming off...it would have been awkard if she had pajamas, etc. I know many girls going to sleep without their pajamas...or cloths..

another thing about this piece is the artist's interests in japanese art.
the girl's tattoo is from Ranma 1/2, which is one of all time favorites and the writing on the mug is possibly "Akira" which is one of the best animation for decades..I have not yet seen any animation so far that matching the scale of this animation even though it was released almost ten years ago...and there's lots of nudity in japanese comics..whether they are for kids or adults.....

speaking of nudity, people often see nudity in old paintings and sculptures as artistic (naked young girl angels) but feel uneasy about it in modern arts. It was to my surprise that even artists (CG forum) have these "perceptions" about nudity.

[SrPaquito]

...excuse me moderators...

I suppose that cas3dxserve gave an opinion and not an accusation. But with incorrect words...

I believe that the image is understood well. In anime/manga is habitual to exaggerate the size of the head (or the hair) to obtain a candid aspect in girls, it's possible that causes some misunderstanding.

I am delighted with the forum, charmed with the level and quality that exists in it and wanting to contribute with much more opinions and new illustrations.

Cheers!! And once again, thanks for all the comments and critics!!

AH ... and it is normal that the panties (:scream:it's a bikini!!, look at the knots :)) are like that if you sit down in this position!!

Amazing! Simple, elegant with a twist concept and highly endearing in a non-intended (for the girl) way. Kind of like a snapshot of a precious moment where all she thinks about is whatever she was dreaming about a second before and this little voice in the back saying 'must get up ...'. The arm is holding the cup more as a reflex than an intended action, not noticing anything around her.


Also, nice mix of stylished shapes with realistic rendering.

And I don't think she looks too young. I have a Japanese friend who's 24 and looks half the age of the girl in your painting. Small face on a rather large head tends to give that effect. Quite common in Asian regions actually.

[TheRobotEye]

It's like Norman Rockwell meets science fiction. Very cool.

[Rocwell]

this is unbelievably fantasic! lightin', form, concepts, technique......its all great!
