#305

#306

#307

#308

#309

submit127, cheers mate! much appreciated. :smiley:

naresh, welcome, and thanks for the kind words, i will…with a little progress shot of the BabaYaga piece:

#310

Oooh long time since I visited this thread and there are lot more nice pictures too :slight_smile:

Love the punk girl with the green hair… very expressive.
Also love the new year update with the faces. The bottom one looks better than the middle one of which you say you used reference. Is that something that comes because you are too caught up in the reference? I have that sometimes.

The sacrifice image does not work that good for me… it seems that only the boy and the knife are really though out and the rest was added as an afterthought. Composition could be much stronger there.
Looking forward to the colour on the babajaga piece. I have two hopes, one that you will be using a little more daring colours and two that you will work it out in brows and greens (would be great for ink style) like the swap setting the story has.

But I’ll wait and see. Cheers!

matsman, thanks for checking back in. not sure i was too caught up in the ref, it’s just a different exercise i guess, and the result wasnt spectacular i agree :slight_smile:

bout the sacrifice picture, i’m still reasonably confident that i can pull it together if i push this further, but i think i see your concern. and…it’s a girl…lol!

here’s a step on the baba piece, still a lot to do and directions i can go with this.

#312

How do u do the colouring, human?

submit127, not sure yet…could go with human flesh tones or even something more alien.

#322

guys, i decided that i am going to ask for this thread to be closed. the images that i linked in almost all of the previous pages are on a host that just keeps giving me trouble, and i hate having people take the time stop by and then there’s nothing that shows up in here.

i have moved on to a new service that should take care of my hosting issues, so i really hope to see some of you good people who have been kind enough to stop by in my new thread that i am hoping to open up soon.

best to all of you and see ya round :wink:

Jan

Jan, i understand your issue and i look foward to seeing your new stuff whenever you put up a new thread. Your latest work has been really engaging in both technical execution and the themes presented. This thread has evolved just as you have…into something great.

#324

Too bad you didn’t have time to finish, great start on that one. Will you have time for the main challenge? Would be fun going to war with one more familiar face. :buttrock:
