Hello again!

I have another update. Ive been kind of busy with life-stuff, but Im trying to keep painting. Sometimes I spend a whole month without even sketching, but with this new year, i hope this changes.

Here are some of the things I have made so far.

So good.

I love Microns, love them to death.

I really like the "simpler" digital pieces you did (2nd and 3rd pieces). They seem almost like an exercise in getting a point across in as few strokes as possible.

I really like your depth of field, though one thing that I think is a little off is how it looks like your second and third pieces are taken from a perspective of laying on the ground. It's just not a way that I normally look at things so it's probably just my eyes being confused about the positions. Depth of field in general is really hard to pull off I feel, so that might be part of it.

I will say that especially showcased with the first piece, you're excellent at drawing the eyes to what seems most important to a piece, with nice control over light and detail.

Very well done, thanks for sharing!
My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

Thanks Noobity

I do agree with you. For me the speedpaints are much more gratifying since they evoke much more movement and artistic freedom. Once you finish the base concept and start fleshing it out, it starts becoming more rigid and still. I applied a filter blur for the 2nd and 3rd images to simulate lens blurs for depth of field. This happens when focusing in on small objects (king frog image), or when setting the focus to distant objects but have objects really close by (winter landscape).

Again, thanks for the nice comments and taking the time to write your feedback!

Hi Bigfan, glad you like my stuff I started drawing since I was 8 years old, got into game design and modding at 14~15, and went to animation school at 21. I am now 29 years old

Thanks, Im glad you like them! Animation school doesnt really teach you how to speed paint, it was more of a generalist approach to animation career. I've been painting on my own for a while now. I used a Wacom Intuos tablet.

I work as a producer on a gaming company, and every now and then art direct. I almost never have a chance to make concept art however for the company though due to not having enough time.
