what's up guys!

i've had a bunch of sketches piling up over the past few months and i wanted to share them with you all. most of them were done at work when no one was looking, so most of them are quick and dirty! i have a bit more time so hopefully i'll be able to get in more finished concepts in the near future. thanks and enjoy!

some really lovely sketches!
all of them are worth to take more than one look at, but especially the first environment-sketches stood out for me. thanks for showing - make me want to grab a pencil and sketch some cityviews too.

nice stuff! I dig the cowboy (pew! pew! ... i say that all the time actually), beauty'n'beast page, and the girl face nearer the bottom is cool. It has a quality of motion, and nice form w/o shading, which I can dig!

Cool stuff! post more often!

Lovely stuff. There's so much movement in your style even in your still pieces that it makes it look alive. Definitely envy your skill. But more than anything, I'd love to be able to put Ken Kong on my business card. That's just awesome.

I dig that cityspire you got in one of your earlier posts. You should paint that one! It feels like it can fit within one of Miyazaki's worlds.

thanks yall!

geeshin - no doubt, i've been meaning to paint that one for a while, but i feel like i need to sharpen these skills a little more before i do so :o

Your cityspire reminds me of Miyazaki's Howl's Moving Castle and Naruto's creator Masashi Kishimoto.

I love it all the style is cool and alot of variety.

Really nice studies man. Try playing with the brush hardness sometime and get a lil softer blend in your gradients to get some more 'butter' in your painting and this shizzle will be poppin....ok I can't talk cool but you know that :P
