Meet Joe!

This is Joe, one of my latest characters. Joe is a grumpy toy who thinks he's a G.I. Joe but in fact he's just a soft doll with plastic guns. Joe has a best friend, "Boom", a robot-bomb to which Joe has the detonator, he likes to use it a little bit too much. Joe is not your average children's toy, he's mean, sarcastic and a real asshole.

Work in progress

Photoshop CS4

Skull Painting

Stuff from painting class today.

My painting skills are still limiting me a lot, I think the detailed drawing turned out nicely, but the paint ruined it...

Some amazing comic book pages

Corbeau is producing pages for his comic book like crazy!

Sketchbooks #01

The internet is full of inspirational artists. The things that inspire me most are most definitely the sketchbook threads over at conceptart.org. The greatest artists have a sketchbook there, and whether it's a simple doodle or the most detailed piece of art, it can be posted and you can expect advice from other great artists.

That's why I've dedicated this series to all the great sketchbooks of fantastic artists. I've saved a lot of sketchbook bookmarks that have inspired me tremendously, that's why I'm sharing my favorites now.

Krato over at ca.org (link)

10 pages, there are some nice studies in there, definitely worth a look!

Sidharth Chaturvedi (link)

Some very nice oil studies in there, as well as graphite and digitals.

If you ever need some motivation to get started with anatomy again, or you just enjoy anatomical studies, then this sketchbook is a great place to start! 2 pages and counting (I think).

Another inspiring thread full of studies.

More will follow!

Daily Link Dump #01

My bookmarks folder is huge, and I mean HUGE. There are over 500 bookmarks in my art bookmark folder and that's why I'm sharing my finds. Consider this a way of organizing them for myself, having a look again at what I have, and sharing them with you guys.

I'll give a short explanation with each link.

Great thread with a lot of nice concept art.

Here.

More to come, will be for tomorrow though.

Portrait

I'll start off with a portrait I did recently. I quite like the end result.

It was done in charcoal on A3 sized paper.
