looking great alti. Ive seen some awesome work done where people regarded the sketchbook itself like a work of art in its entierity. I think the term for these is supposed to be visual diaries or some such, in any case im about to start keeping one myself for uni

really digging your recent pencils -- seems you're working up gradually just in tones after a loose sketch nowadays? Either way, it's working for you - you're getting quite a bit of control and incidental detail from the forms you're pushing in there, especially on walk the dog, and mr. back scratch.

I'd love to see what you could do with a fine tip eraser pen to put some tight highlights in there, or whatever those cardboard pencil things are called (the name escapes me) that you use to smudge but with clean edging.

keep it up! [:)]

the colour is brilliant! it adds so much to the overall image, the overall use of light around that area was well structured (the silouhetted border like shapes, the light shafts etc, it looks great). The creature could have used a tad more definition but then again that seems to be your style. It just depends what kind of purpose you intend to direct this towards (ie its ok if this is just supposed to be a fine art kind of thing)

thoughts and critiques:

colour = sexy

it's great to see you working in a wider and more vivid range of contrast - would love to see more of the brush work that you where doing a while ago though (kinda sparth-ish). I think you could really develop your style further with your own brush work.

keep it coming!

i'd love to do a texture for somebody if they have a texture sheet i can work on, i'd just like to see how i go with it.
i got a whole bunch of gnomon dvds on texture painting and it looks preety far out.

... I love. They look fantastic. They sort of remind me of this film called Mirror Mask. Have you seen it?... Sort of remind me. Well that's the first thing I thought, but anyway. If you haven't seen it, then you should. BUT I really, really like your stuff. So obscure and [I quote J.I Styles] the colour is sexy.
Please sir, I want some more.
