Dare I start my own daily thread? Oh yes... I dare. Well, my first 2 are just some sketches for an idea I had running through my head.

Welcome to the Daily! Cool sheep too! I really like the big one on the first image. The face has great character! Kudos

I second Dan's comments.

Just wanted to say thanks for the kind words. I'll be sure to post more.

Here is a quick picture of a cow secret agent. I'm hoping to reconstruct him in Flash this weekend.

Here is a picture I did of the character Scarface from the Batman comics. Not my favorite work. I seem to really like my pictures scratchy and sketchy and then they lose something when I clean them up. Oh well. here it is.

KalEl118

P.S.: Just realized I forgot to draw the scar on his face. Yet another reason to get off of the crack ;)

Kick ass Kal.

[KalEl118]

Kind of staying with the whole Batman theme. Not sure if I'll do anymore, we'll have to see if I get the urge.

This is the first time I ever attempted digital painting, and I don't completely hate the result. I guess that's a good thing. I'm sure it could have come out better if I planned it around being painted. I will have to try something more intricate next time.

Picture is a revamp of the above "Clayface"

Great painting. wish i knew how to digital paint:(

This is a background I painted of a cartoony barn for a multi-plane camera move I needed. Its actually 6 different sections flattened into one. A few problems with the lighting but I wasn't really going for realism.

I know I am abusing the phrase "daily sketch" when I only subimt once in a while. Never the less, this is a picture of a unicorn that I made to paint on a friends wall. Her little girl likes unicorns and the movie "Spirit" so I sort of tried to combine the two.

Went back to an old pet project of mine and redesigned one of the characters from my first page of this thread. I think I can get more expression out of this design. Hope you like.

I really LOVE your sheep!!!!! Cool expressions!!

[rupertpiston]

This stuff looks pretty neat! I hope we'll get to see your piece when it's done. I love the characters, and the barn (seems like we've spoken about this) is just awesome.

[KalEl118]

I think I finally locked down the design for my second character for my sheep project. I only wish I could stop being so lazy and get some serious work done on it. Hope you like.

This is just some doodle I would play with while I was on the phone. I just drew some fingers and over the course of a couple of days, little by little, I would add to it.

Great work on the barn! Love the Green and black Wolf pic as well as the study above. Rock on!

[KalEl118]

Felt like doing a little film noir work and wanted to try and tackle some of my shortcomings as an artist. Hope you like but I would appreciate any critiques.

haha i like the jason and the freddy ghost sketch. cool stuff. keep up the good work!

[KalEl118]

Just thought I would try and brush up a little bit. Never was very good at drawing girls and am now trying to change that. Thought I would use some reference and then try and stylize it. Once again, I loved it while I was drawing it, but now I'm not sure how I feel. Hopefully a step in the right direction.

And a quick color job I did.

Saw a new bust that is being released of the demon character from Legend and drew this real quick.

Was working on a picture that I wanted to try and paint and thought I would post a little "work in progress." I had been flipping through a few Alex Ross books and saw that, to the best of my knowledge, he had never done any pictures of Doomsday. So I had an image in my head of Superman and Doomsday in the middle of a stand-off, possibly getting a second wind at about mid-way to 3/4 of the way through the fight. I wanted to show destruction and debris already covering the street in the background.

So I started with a couple of thumbnails and ended up liking this one. I wanted to make Doomsday look big and imposing and leave room to show off some of the aftermath in the background.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/sman118/Thumb12-3-05.jpg

And now I'm at the point where I've finished my general look for Doomsday. Some changes may occur when I start to paint, but this is the direction I wanted to go.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/sman118/DoomsdayWIP_01_12-3-05.jpg

This is where I'm at now. I'll probably due the rest in seperate layers because I tend to give up when I Like one part of a picture and hate the other :mad: .

[cartuneman]

Howdy,

Love your work, can't wait to see more! more! more!

cartuneman:D

[KalEl118]

I swear I didn't mean to put this off a whole month, but now I am back into it. I guess the holidays are my excuse for post poning and my new years resolution of doing more art is why I got this far.

Just started blocking in some of the colors on Doomsday and added a rough of Superman. I was going to wait to paint until I had a finished background, but I decided it wouldn't kill me to start without it since I really want to try and make the pictures stand out from it.

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/sman118/DoomsdayWIP_02_1-5-06.jpg

After I finish Doomsday I may go back in and adjust the saturation and color to bring him more to a grey color.

Any comments or critiques are appreciated.

KalEl118

[powerglove]

sweet man..i like how the beastly character is turning out so far, id like to see how it turns out with the grey effect, im wanting to do that with one of my drawings, too much bright colors looks cheesy to me on atleast realistic type drawings...gloom is good :).

[KalEl118]

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a332/sman118/DoomsdayWIP_03_1-8-06.jpg

Here is my latest WIP on my Doomsday project. Woke up this morning and decided to put some time in on it. I'll probably go through and tweak it some more and correct the eyes but I wanted to show what I had so far. Also, I pulled the saturation out of his skin to get him closer to what I had originally intended. Hope you like. I'll put more up as I finish it.

[KalEl118]

...man I suck. I wish I could say I've been busy, but i've just been lazy. I still check in from time to time and everyone's stuff looks great.

Made this as just a little test. Something to practice my painting on. Probably wont finish it because the anatomy is off, but you never know. Enjoy.

Your sheep are SO AWESOME!

Trying a new paint program, Art Rage 2. Only $20 bucks and its almost the same as Painter. Little trouble blending the colors but I think I've found a way to pull it off.

This is a little picture I worked on. Its a small demon/gargoyle creature bringin a pixie a rose. The background will be a forst, Probably both of them on a branch. Hopefully I will be able to pull of the scale and make it automatically noticeable that they are small.

Here is the original sketch

And here is the beginning of the painting.

Simple and clean. I wish I could draw such art pieces......
:(

[KalEl118]

just an update on the painting project from above. figured out to blend a little better but am really regretting not doing the whole thing over a middle tone background. live and learn.

well coloring is really really hard. You cna make a bad drawed painting look nice with good coloring, bud also make a nice drawing ugly with coloring. I was trying to make a colored painting to bud its hard. I will post wip on my thread

[KalEl118]

Hi KalEl118,

Nice inking on that Turtle, there are some proportion issues on the legs though.

I love your Artrage speedpainting of the werewolf. It's tough program to use isn't it?

[KalEl118]

Just a quick loop that I threw together the other night.

Haven't really done anything in a long time. Feel like I'm abusing the term "daily sketch."

Sketch took me about 15 minutes with a ball point pen. 4 hours painting in photoshop.
