Hey

I have some new pictures and have also made a new site on my new domain. The same info about the pics can be found on my site. This site is gonna be an entering too the Random musings web-site contest.
Thank you.


Pictures:

I made this girl more as a loosely sketch, reference was used for her and I also borrowed some of the skin color from the picture.
I usually don�t use reference but will definetely start to use it more.






This is the first picture that I have worked on for a very long time. It was painted over a loose sketch and the work period was about 2 weeks, I didn�t work on it all the time so I dont�know how many hours that was spent on it, I also had the flu the 2nd week when I made it.
I tried to achieve some Quake influenced texture on the armour.





A budgie I made with my wacom, still trying to get a hang of that pencil. I think it turned out pretty good, reference was used for this one.





This one was also made with my wacom and I think that the bird in the middle is too big. Some other problems too but I kind of like the picture anyway, must be the smoke in the background....
I made this one for Siegewar too, dunno if we are using it thou, maybe.





Also, check out my new web-site one the adress:

And as always Comments and critiques and also, I�m sorry if I have stepped on anybody�s toe�s with making crits in your Threads.

Hey, I see you improved again!

First pic: Quite good but try to use brushes with sharper edges.
3rd 4th: like them very much! The hills are too flat but the pic shows atmosphere.

Your site is much better then your old one.
The navigation is simple!

Woo I really like the bird. Polly wanna cracker.. Well yeah are you going to make a background for the birdie pic? Good job, keep 'em coming

[Matthew]

Hey Max, thank you.
you�re right about the brushes and the hills, but that is some killer budgie, isn�t it.
I�m glad that my site is better, I tried to make it as easy as possible. I like those easy navigated sites. It totally rock with an own domain.

cool double-A, thank you.
I�m not gonna make a background for the bird, mainly concentrated on the bird, it kind of looked cool that way so I stayed with it.

thank you
Matthew

OK now you're really improving. I wasn't expecting the budgie and final pic, I'm impressed. I think you should check the shapes of the various body parts and how they compare to your reference on the first one though - try to picture them not as a leg or whatever, but as a shape... e.g. 'an elongated triangle sort of shape' - know what i mean? for starters her torso is too long.

great improvement though!

Thank you gezstar

Oh yeah, the torso is very long.
Elongated triangle for the legs, never thought of that, cool, thank you.
I have actually bought myself several muscle magazines cause I am still a bit confused when it comes to muscles, but the magazines really help.

thanks again everyone who has replied.
