[Here, have some.]

Man this would rock on Skate Board

Really I could see this on a skate board, helmets, side of a van and etc.... You have an interesting style here and I think you could do something with it. I think you line work could still use a line refining but that is just me.

Thank you! I would like to infiltrate some other markets, but currently i've only done shirts, stickers, magnets, and a few indie comics. I'm about to do some stuff for a fanzine in Chile, but if i can find some realistic ways to do some work for skate boards/helmets/vans/ etc etc I'll totally do it.

As far as the linework goes, i dunno, it is a little weird, but i was in a mad wicked rush to get this done. But i do agree with you, i just wanted to send this to the band already.

[The end is nigh]

What happened to Ren and Stimpy?

Reminds me a lot of the Ren and Stimpy cartoons. I think that if you had added more varied weight to your line work that this would have been a more rocking piece. The banana car is a nice touch which makes him seem even more crazy however because he looks like he is in a military uniform I think having him in a "Short Bus" would work well too, especially if you called it "Military Intelligence".

sugarpolyp responds:

I agree with the idea of more varied line work, however, there's not a whole lot i can do about the whole military uniform deal, as this was not one of my original character designs, but rather a take on a friends. He's always wearing army jackets apparently, and she wanted him in a bannana car. However, that's still a pretty wicked idea, if i ever do something like this again.

Thanks!

Interesting character design.......

Like I said I like the design and I am rating you on your concept and not your skills. You have a great start here and looks like a fun character that could be developed further. The character does look like he has coolness to his stride and a sense of his own style.

One of the things I have learned as training as a concept artist in character creation is to keep coming up with different variations based on the same idea you started with. On this thread over at Conceptart http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1603840&posted=1#post1603840 shows some of my concept sketches and what I do to improve what I do.

You asked about help for the name, well I am not going to suggest a name however I will advise you the best I can to guide you to one. The character looks like a Sonic the Hedgehog character, hope I am guessing correctly, and has a rather street punk or homeboy feel to him so that might be a good place to start. Also try thinking about what kind of character he is, how does he talk, walk, fight and so on. Once you start imagining this it should lead you to a good name. Trust your instincts, if you have no doubt then go with it.

You show some talent and aptitude for drawing as well as showing an active imagination. Talent is not enough though and if art calls to you then you need to train your skills.

I hope this has been helpful.

You are one of the few....

so far that I have taken notice as an artist so far on this site worth merit. I love what you have done with this piece. Kind of has the Japanese horror feel to it, you know when the film is all scratched and all that. I think the contrast could have been a tad stronger in some select spots but other than that, bravo.

Is that a Pangalactic Gargleblaster?

That was the first though they came to my head when I saw this piece. I am a little confused about the lighting situation on the bear alien but I am really loving everything else especially the textures you have going.

[Fishmen]

Saw you over at CA.....

But I didn't really have anything I could add to what I saw. Just recently joined myself. I love the color pallet and the comp has a sense of humor.

[Man of the Mountains]

Awesome comp but still needs to be pushed.

I really love the composition although some more foreground elements/characters would have added to the strength of it. The color pallet and values are really working well. Once again however I feel that you really could have pushed the rendering of the piece.

[CTHULU]

Could use some refining.

Just did a quick look through under Cthulhu tags as I do that kind of work as well . The design is interesting but I feel that you really could have pushed it a lot more than you have done here.

[Eye]

Pretty good could use some refinment though...

Just joined this site today when I remembered that this site hosts works of art now. A little after I uploaded a bunch of my stuff I noticed this piece. Caught my eye so to speak. :)

The eye is really well formed and disgusting, very zombie like. The esdge of the nose looks funny to me however particularly around where the bridge meets the nostril. The color variation and value range are also well done. I do think that you could have pushed this and refined it plus added some real good textures.

Good Job., over to check out if you have more stuff.

sugarpolyp responds:

Thank you! Yeah, i agree with you on what you've pointed out. This is actually the first time i actually tried drawing a semi realistic face, in my whole history of drawing. This is actually for a friends flash, but this image goes by so fast i decided not to waste a whole lot of time on details people wouldn't see right off the bat. Once again though, thanks for the review. You have a very educated opinion that I'll certainly keep in mind for future pieces.
