Aanker's Art

Mate you should make an entry for this comp at DeviantArt it seems perfect for you!!

You are correct, maybe it would be worth a shot!

I'll have to see more details, but so far, it looks really interesting! My fear is, however, that I would be pitted against real, professional concept artists... Against which I would stand little chance.

+rep, I shall compete in this challenge.

PS. First, however, I need to come up with something for the 'heat' competition...

[Finlander]

wow, look at the prizes...

I wish you good luck. I'm sure you won't return empty-handed.

It won't be the prizes I draw for. I'm drawing for the challenge.

[Aanker]

Speaking of competitions, which of these should I use for the 'heat' theme?

[edited, see further down]

2nd one, and btw, nice work

Remember to remove your name tag otherwise it will be disqualified.

Can't decide which one, both are awesome

Ah, thank you.

But I should have known.

I have edited the images thus (but I still can't make up my mind):

The first one. I think the implication of heat is a more subtle, and cleaner, way of exhibiting the temperature in a good fashion.

Sorry to comment on the same thing twice, but I really love that burning piece of wood or pumice or such between his legs on the ground. It's real nice, and the figure has really good shading. If only I could do that...

I recently realised/realized () that I have become an addict of secondary lightning.

Oh, and practice is the key to success. If you start drawing now, I am quite certain that you will eventually reach the desired level of skill in a few years, depending on devotion, time, and of course if you attend courses.

"in a couple of years"
My mind went blank when I read that, and I shouted, in my mind, "ballllllllsaaaaackkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk" lol

Well, if you are teaching I'm sure we will be professional in couple of months.

Alea jacta est.

I submitted my entry for the EVE Online 'Create A Starship Contest':

Hopefully, I can at least reach a semi-finalist position.

[Doyle141]

Really nice. I'd vote for ye

It's great! But is that the full size painting? And when you win, since you already have an Intuos 4, you can give it to me

"When you win" being a rather optimistic assumption (), I can safely say that I have not thought of this matter.

Oh, and yes, that is the full-size painting. I prefer to make small conceptual drawings, since larger projects require quite an investment in time.

[Aanker]

You might see a pattern developing, but I won't release too much details yet.

Anyway, here's a clue (it's nothing big, but have a shot at guessing)...



PS. Here we go (originally, I wanted to submit this to the EVE online contest, but I had too little time to complete the schematics):
