those hands are epic o.o

Thanks Z4m97 , worked hard on them hand studies hehe

painted details/designed armor/painted clouds

update time :p designed the armor more, adding detail to the wings, refining the lighting, changed the composition slightly and overall detailing

Your rendering and drawing skills are GOOD. I think you could try to make the hair (and probably the dress) more flowy. The excellent artist for flowy hair is Alphonse Mucha. Well, his clothes are very flowy too. I guess you could study him a bit. But overall, your painting is really good! (What I mean by ,,make more flowy,, is to make them less stagnant) (My english is lacking and I can't explain it well, so sorry)

Thanks RAC00NIE i tried to make the hair/dress a but nicer and more flowy, also made the flow of the swords follow the wind more (ps: mucha is awesome )

I think it's done now, i will let it rest till tomorrow if i get more feedback or see any mistakes i'll fix that

The angel piece is turning out pretty amazing.

For the girl on the image with the ghost I feel that a POV where the camera is looking up at here would be more fitting to convey the idea of power. She just gained control of a throne and a kingdom, right?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Steeliebob! Great idea for the ghost one, i'll revisit it later

thumbnail for something new

will probably finish this one, since i like the pose/expression. Lighting etc is not established yet. I do feel like something is off, so if u notice any anatomy/proportion mistakes let me know

Her right forearm is too short.

finished this one!

You've progressed exquisitely since your first posts in this sketchbook, really incredible. Bravo, man!

awesome stuff man!
so much improvement is this sketchbook

Thanks guys! always great to hear that the hard work shows ^^

quick character exploration for a new illustration

second phase, onto thumbnails for the actual illustration now

I really like the woman in yellow. Rough but... it has something to it.

Thanks Oli, that one is a study so credit to the original artist (jeremy mann)
Quickly redoing this painting from a year ago. comparison in link : https://gyazo.com/bf4a1ef53b41e7f2c5424 ... 8pr6_p3Fuw

still a WIP

Just echoing the others. Looking back to the beginning of your sketchbook really shows some immense improvement, especially in anatomy. It feels like your painting skills and designs have honestly always been pretty strong, think you have a knack for those. Your most recent painting gives me some MTG illustration vibes, along with some nicely rendered metal and texture.

Thanks man, really nice to hear . To work for mtg is my ultimate goal, a long way to go but comments like these keep me going! Appreciate it.
