Sketchbook Thread of Jho

Hi Jho :slight_smile:

Wow, the two quick paintings are great! Lovely views and looks like your cat thinks so too :slight_smile:
I can’t comment on your sculpting (not knowing the first thing about it…), but it looks to me like you’re going really well :thumbsup:

It would be great to go to the Berlin Concept Art/ Massive Black Workshop - but like you say, it’s a fair distance :cry: I do promise though, that if there’s a chance of me being on that side of the globe, I’ll definitely try to go, besides it would be a treat to meet you :wavey:

take care
a. :slight_smile:

Frejasphere: Thanks a lot, and I really hope you’ll make it to Berlin, but I completely understand if you don’t. I didn’t expect it, just thought I should ask.

I was working on a new page on the superhero thing, and did some studies from myself. This mythical finish god (a superhero in a leather jacket in the comic) is pounding the door of the land of the dead. His brother runs the place, and they don’t like each other very much, so he’s angry.
People with hammers are hard to draw, and I wanted to get some very dramatic camera angles, so I took some pictures of myself with a hammer (don’t laugh… too much here, here and here) and studied my arms, shoulders etc.

Took a break from the 3d stuff today, apart from work of course…

Let’s see how this turns out in the end.

#334

Working on this…

#335

Just some random sketches before I start working on the Warhammer piece some more and animate the 3d thing with the dragon…

#336

This is a VERY impressive sketchbook! It has motivated me into creating one and learning to draw better.

ShaneHudson: Well that’s perhaps one of the greatest compliments anyone can give, thank you very much, and I’m really glad to hear that. Good luck, and I hope you an awesome journey :slight_smile:

Started keeping a journal of my dreams, I also though I’d try to paint most of them. Here is a start of one:

Also, I finally got my new Homepage out, please check it out.

I have played Batman: Arkham Asylum the whole weekend. Best game in ages! Can’t put it down. I rarely do fanart, but this game really made me want to paint some Batman characters. So I started painting Harley Quinn, shes one of my favorite characters in the comics too. The costume is pretty much completely my own design, just played around with it a bit, we’ll see where I end up with it…

#339

Man, managed to sit through the whole thing. I’m pretty pleased with myself, and I think it turned out fine.

#340

Worked some more on this one.

#341

A skin + anatomy study

#342

#343

Started to paint this sci fi scene…

#344

At the beginning I had toforce myselfpainting this, later I couldn’t put it down… Now I justhave to go to sleep, I’ll try to work on it more tomorrow.

#345

Update on this one…

#346

Wow - such an improvement over the course of this thread. Am very impressed - your hard work is obviously paying off as it’s all coming together really nicely. Great stuff.

#347

Tonik: Thanks a bunch man :slight_smile:
I was hoping this little sketchbook would after years tell my story from a dude who draws occasionally into a professional artist. Well see if I succeed, but its guys like you who bump in here and encourage me that makes me feel I might be able to do it :slight_smile:

Some life drawing…



I also started this. I wanted to make a cool looking character for my demoreel. I’ll probably just rig it do the things I need and animate it just to basically stand around and pose.

#348

I’m making a game at school. Its now somewhat finished, just have to polish it a bit.

Try it!

#349

Haven’t posted for a while…
The lack of a working scanner is a big reason, but I have also been really busy.

We are having this project thing at school with the finnish tv channel 4. We are making 2 characters for children’s programs. I was put to the concept art team as an AD assistant, so I have been painting and drawing lots of concept pictures.

Before that though, everybody created 2 characters, and the guy from channel 4 picked his favorite. Mine didn’t win, but here they are anyways:

Here are some of the concept pictures I have painted:

(Sorry, had to take the channel 4 concepts away. As I think it might not be ok to show them before the thing is released.)

We also attended the fall ACM SIGGRAPH in Helsinki, and I met a guy from Futuremark, it’s a relatively big gaming company in Finland. I asked if I might be able to have my work placement for school in Futuremark next fall. He gave me his card and said it might be possible. Of course he wants to see my portfolio before that, so I have tried to get that together. Here is a character I’m going to make:
