Not Much Normal Sketchbo0k

[Nmn]

Hello there Finally finished a piece.
This one I done as fan art for an Indie fps game called "Harmony". That game's author represents boldness and courage to finish his freeware game, which I lacked 10 years ago while making my own game :( Decided to honor the guy and the game. I've changed some things like the armor design and the monstersies, tho.

More on "Harmony" heer:

On a side note, I just love this guy and his art.
Ch33rs!

some pretty impressive work there. One thing i would say is perhaps the legs are slightly awkward in their pose. The misaligned standing pose makes the figure a bit stiff.

But still a fantastic piece of work. Look forward to more.

You got point there, I've had trouble aligning the legs because the piece was almost done when I decided to draw the feet (the original idea was to have them cut off at ankles but did't like composition). I should probably go back and fix it, but not tomorrow as a trip to uni awaits me.

Thx for comments ^^

Hi there! Been a while since I posted as now I have a full time job so less time for drawing/painting, but I find it relaxing and fulfilling somewhat posting works here, building a private 'folio.









Now the last one is spoilered because:
A) It is very long, but more importantly
B) There are some *cough* poses that imply certain situations, so that my conscience is ok w/ me, kids are warned. I just didn't have ideas for poses xp

Spoiler:

[Lamb]

wow these are quite impressive!

[johnway]

I like the more dynamic angles of the poses and various foreshortening elements. Something that i sorely need to practice/try if i want to improve.

Ah yes, the bane of our lives that is work. I work in IT support and there's that constant nagging feeling that i should be learning new technologies, more into IT/server infrastructure to feed myself. I had hoped i would learn more during working but i've been busy. Plus IT is a dry, dry subject. I do enjoy the luxury of day dreaming when i'm going to work and/or during lunch where i stare vacantly at stuff, sample the various cheese/ham to get my cheese/ham cravings in check etc.

Thanks Lamb and John I appreciate

@John - I work as a waiter xD The job is hard physically, 11-13 hours on my feet, but it's a lot of fun and learning new stuff and I earn enough to make it. Plus it's 48x48, so I have 15 free days in a month, more time for art than if I was working at a normal 24x7.

That's a pretty impressive rendering of a more 'full' body type. One thing I've noticed is that when you ink your cleavage, they feel not as organic and seem more like a symbol. You lose some of that softness in your pencils and the lines for cleave shouldn't come off that strongly.

[Grieverjoe]

Nice angles (pun totally intended)!
Digging the fuller-bodied lady, there.

[Nmn]

Thanks guys, much appreciated

@RobotCat - you're definitely right, and boobs/sternum area are next on my studies list "problematic areas" (w/ hands).

[Nmn]

Boom! I come back. Nowadays I have more time to draw.
Lately I've been involved in a personnal project and made a helluva sketches in my sketchbook, only I lack a scanner and am too lazy to ask a guy that would scan them for me. Eventually I'll get around to scanning those, since I want them by hand in the digital.
But here are some stuff I've been doing. Mostly face studies.

"Full bodied female" returns for some inappriopriate posing. Sure I put my fantasies on paper, I mean who doesn't do that :P Named the character "Caroline" based on her RL version.



Oh looky, it's a fox.


A cover for my scrapped comic book. I hate Mio's (the right one) expression. Poppy before VU was prettier xp


So I watched this game "Enchanted Arms" on YT and thought of doing some art from it. Don't like it much though.
I referenced this drawing when doing so:


The author is MaRaMa-Artz, I apologise for not crediting them


A large sheet full of face studies. Now the ones w/ the red dot were drawn from references, but I tried looking at them 5-6 times max, so it's more a memory test. The ones marked with a green dot are more interesting - I took two references, one some random girl's expression and lighting, and second - the parameters of some game character's face and tried combining them. 1E and 4E are my faves.

[Lamb]

wow you are getting the hang of these facial expressions.

[Nmn]

^^ <3

[Nmn]

Wassup mah people? Comin' bearin' gifts foh yo to see and (ah hope) point bad stuff outta.

Handz0rs studies, some from referencah, some from da mind


Inkin' some bad orc dude


Every niggah draws anime girls, so why not I? Except, dayum ah made her head too big and she looks friggen' 13 o_O ohkay, lets pretend she's 22 midget (like mah hommie's ex). And... ah never draw anime! This is exception. Not that ah hate anime... it's just isn't my tastes.


Uncanny companions, but ah don't like how it turned out, too blourry, this technique sucks


Sumthin' new with them new techniques. Seems legit... I totally lack ideas for new paintings... I mean ah hate them Marvel/DC characters... dunno wassup with me lately.


Gon' back to da drawin' board, but ah takin' a showah first, no? Niggah gotta take them breaks when drawing, no?

[PariahJack]

Damn those are some really nice hand studies :o I should do some more of those too >.>
Im also a fan of the venom vs spidey picture, though i feel like you might have given Spiderman a tad to much bulk.
Venom ftw!

Thanks hommie xD. Oh I make all mah characters too muscley, as mah best hommie said that once to me. Maybe I oughta put them on diet ...

[Lamb]

have you lost a bet? Or why are u talkin' like this, bruh?

The hand studies are amazing.

The Kratos/Soul reaver piece seems pretty cool to me. you just need to connect them into the background. Some dust, and adjust the values on the legs, make the focus pop.

[Nmn]

Ima tryin' that, in greyscale the whole 'piece seems too flatish, not enough focal points.
Thanks for them tips ^^ <3

[Nmn]

How's that for ya Lamby?

[Ninja-J]

Very nice digital painting!
