Sketch 3/365 for my challenge

I decided to add monochromatic color, because pure black and white is a bit boring. I'm a little uncertain at which point somehting stops being a "sketch", so i'm taking it as a time limit of under half an hour.

Nice! I really like that last sketch. It already has a nice mood. The character looks pretty cool too.

Thanks!

Here's 4/365

Number 5/365! I think this one is my favorite yet. I followed the advice to "compose with triangles" and i think it worked well.

Great Work! Good luck on your comic!

Thank you!

Here are some other recent sketches

Those sketches look very nice. That hellish centaur-demon thing is especially awesome. And I see a lot of medieval/fantasy in those sketches. Are those ideas for your comics?

ragamuffin 2016-10-19 05:38:52 UTC #21

Thanks! Yes, most of these are.

First off man I hope you make that comic. I love fantasy and your stuff is cool. From what I see, your doing everything right in regards to studying and creating cool illustrations sketches. Is your final goal to do everything in color?
In my opinion I still believe you should work on your line arts a bit more and do some more value studies. A quick tip regarding values is to do things in layers. 1 layer for shadows and another for lights. Another layer for Ambient Occlusion and you should have a cool base. From there you can merge things and do a paint over to fix things. Anyway keep up the awesome work man. I see lots of potential here.

Thanks for the tips! Yeah, i do wanna go full color.
Thanks for the kind words too!
It may be a little while yet until i can start the comic, but i'm getting a lot done. Designing, plus writing, plus art studies plus writing studies has been kinda daunting, but it's engaging work

Sketch 8/365

I think i intended all these sketches to be original ideas, but this one turned out as fanart somehow. It's a 'redesign', tho! I think the design itself turned out kind of uninspired, but i got a time limit for these, gotta go with it!

Sketch 10/365

"Daghaxes are stocky carnivores that roam northeastern Varos, growing naturally to about seven feet in lenght. They hunt in packs in the rocky terrain, and burrow underground lairs that can grow to be quite extensive.
Daghaxes are susceptive to infestation and possession by earth elemental spirits. The beset animals; usually large, aggressive alphas, progressively become even larger, and their rocky protusions cover more of their body like thick armor. With supernaturally extended lifespans, some of these monsters grow truly enormous and fearsome over the decades."
