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.

Wow, 5 months and no posts. I'm getting lazy. Here is a return to my youth in anticipation of the film. C&C are welcome.

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"

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?

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Just a quicky. Really just wanted to practice some new inking techniques. Enjoy.

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.

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.

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: .

Looking forward to starting something new. Not totally happy with everything, but I am excited about what else I might be able to pull off.
