Hey guys! My name is Gabriel Vasali, I am a 17 years old high school student currently living in Hungary. I started art 3-4 years ago and I quickly become passionate about it.

I really like character and enviroment design, architecture, and basically all the things you can see in movies or games. Later on I would also like to try out other stuff, like 3D and animation, but now i want to focus at 2D Digital Painting mainly. Here in the next years my main goal is improving these skills. I think I have a big potential so I hope I can progress fast.

I really want to get into art school, but since my high school does not teach art at all, I literally have to self-educate myself. Luckily I am very good at that, but I still have to ask for your help.

I found this site 2 months ago, when the Art War was on. I was watching some digital painting tutorial videos back then so I quicly jumped into it, and brutally failed (as you can see here). Either ways, it was a nice practice for me and it was actually the thing that got me into the art even more, and in the last month I made several much nicer (altough not finished pieces).
Here they are:

My last failed attempt for art war:

A nice idea which started only with a single cloud (btw. i killed this pic becouse i accidentally merged all the layers ):

And this thing:

These are the pictures I want to start this blog with. From now on I want to draw something every single day. It will be preety hard, since i have other studies to do, but i will try. I will try to upload them here if it's possible, so you (and I) can see my progress. I am looking forward to it. Please feel free to critisize me or ask questions and stuff. Wish me luck!

ps.: A little more about myself:
Favourite artist: Oliver Chipping;
Favourite musician: King Diamond;
Favourite game: Age of Empires II;
Favourite song: Vektor - Recharging the Void;
Favourite beer: Argus Strong;
and i can't think about more

Edit: Please criticise my work, and my progress! It would be really helpful. Thank you!

So the first thing I have done is the base I would present my art on. I wanted something sleek looking, and professional, so this is what I came up with. Feel free to use the pattern I made.

So, today I started up with something simple. I am really bad with proportions, so that's the first thing I wanted to focus on. This is the result:

Hey guys! Today I didn't really have time to draw since I was at Budapest, at a Metallica concert, so instead of drawings, I share you some picks:

Today I was practicing thumbnails again.

Hey again! I had some more time today, so I tought I could practice digital painting a little, so here I am now with the results of today.
Oh, and I forgot to tell you that please criticise my work! It could help me a lot. Thank you! Have fun!

I continued the previous picture today.

For some reason I couldn't upload this picture, becouse it was 'too big'... It was only 3MB (while the one below is 4.15MB) and the same size.... Anyone knows about this?

Hey guys! Yesterday I was not able to upload so I will do it today. I continued my Digital Painting project, and I finished with the character. Please tell me your opinions and advices!
Tomorrow I will try to make some kind of background for her...

Hey guys!

Today I finished my digital painting project. Here you can see how it turned out

I could not actually decide which color scheme should I go for, so here are both:

Hey Guys!

Apparently my Computer is dead, so I was not and I am still not able to continue the thread.
During this time I made some traditional pieces, so I will try to upload them, but it won't be easy, since i haven't got any devices to do that so. :\
Wish me luck with that PC, and "God bless you my friends!"

Hey Guys!

So they finally repaired my Computer, so asap I started working on my stuff.
First I continued my Machine digital painting:

It's still pretty raw, but not for long

I also started to work on a new piece, as I had been inspired by a picture i found at a gallery yesterday:

While I was away I made many traditional pictures too, mainly sketches with pen. If i don't forget I will upload some of them.

Hey Guys!

Today I found a great opportunity to test my skills.
My hometown is currently hosting a competition where you have to make an artwork onto two buildings' frontage digitaly and if you win they will project it on the chosen building during a big event here, the festival games.
These two building are the city hall, and the lookout tower in the castle. I obviously choose the tower first, becouse I already had a great design for it (as you can see on the top of this page), but I wanted to combine that with my other idea, to make it even more cool, so today i worked on that, and here is my idea:

Hey Guys!

So today I continued my robot project. It's still not done but I am pretty close

Hey Guys!

So apparently I spent my last days with no internet connection (Hungary rules), but I was still doing stuff. Either ways, my art teacher told me about a competition where I have to make a picture about Mathias Corvinus (Important hungarian rennaisance king), so i was working on that.
I was trying to go for a medieval feel, and I think I pretty much nailed it, altough I still feel like that something is off. What do you think?
