Nice color and comp. I think you should add some texture to the branch. I understand it is stylized, but I still feel it shouldn’t be totally smooth. I like your bird.
Love the bird on branch composition and colors.
Thought I would add a bit to an old project.
@Mr-NYM Hmm, I guess a little more texture could not of hurt. Maybe a porous feel and a few bumps on the branch. I do tend to avoid putting bumps and micro detail on stuff, maybe a little out of fear.
A quick self-portrait
You make great and wildly varied things, Thanks! Its great fun.
Started a new project. Debating on how to render the characters. Also hope to get two heros done and rendered before school starts…
@MealeaYing Thanks, I always try to keep it fresh and switch it up.
I call him crabby a sketch I did for a bigger project.
Hi Mcteapot
Nice start to your sketchbook thread…
I like that skeleton with the cigarette piece,…came out nice
My favorite so far though, is the bird on the branch…Would be fun to see a small series of those, with maybe a different kind of bird in each one, maybe even showing a different season in each one,…like winter, sping ,summer, and fall type of thing…Would be a good color practice, and composition experiment.
Some of the old Chinese Masters did some really beautiful silk paintings similar to yours…Would be nice I think, and interesting also to see similar types of pieces done using ZBRUSH…Just a passing thought that may be useful to you somewhere along the line…
Anyway, …keep posting, and progressing…Looking forward to seeing more of your works…
This one took forever to get done, but I am kind of happy with it.
@SpiritDreamer
Thanks so much. I really dig your idea of doing birds for each season. Would be a great study in color.
It has been a while since I posted some work. For approval of my colleagues.
And a few more…
Started a new project, with an initial sketch.
Big Daddy Roth fan? I grew up with Roth stuff and all the kids copying him in art classes. Stickers on the walls and his T-Shirts. small_orange_diamond
I heart Roth. Trying to give it my own style in ice cream form
The latest color study and will start to 3d this ish out soon!

Work has started!
