I have recently become active at GFXartist again. There’s something very nice about a small community, although sometimes I think it’s as good as died out, that attracts me. On my first piece, without having commented on anything (I posted in a speedpaint thread, that was it) I have so far received 12 critiques, which is WAY more than I get at DeviantART or any other site. Last time I was active at GFX I got a few critiques that I couldn’t handle, but now that I would love that kind of critiques I only get nice ones. Maybe I have gotten better at what I do.
I’ve also become slightly more active at ImagineFX.com, it being my favourite magazine and all. But it’s almost off-putting because it’s too big. You aren’t seen in the same way that you are at GFX. It probably means I should become way more active (post in forums and stuff) and well, I want to stop lurking and start posting at Conceptart.org too, maybe even CGTalk. Big plans, little initiative. But, well, maybe one day. It’s not like it’s the end of the world anyway.
Here are two pictures that are almost speedpaints (took more than one hour, but hey. Almost!), I hope you like them. And if you like them, please comment! Remember that there are more here and here.
Air Commander (cheesy title? Noooo...)
Snow
IMPORTANT: Even though these are just sketches, please don’t use them elsewhere. Not that I have such high thoughts of my own work, but it’s not fun to see them at other sites with no mention of who made it, or worse, if someone pretends to have made them themselves. If you want to share, please link to where you found them. OK? Thanks!
