"Cutie"? wtf? he's more of a "Eloy" type of guy..sheesh..

MrHoot · 12th March 2010, 22:37

Some fan stuff for a book i'll be selling at a convention

Also, a sketch for an upcoming color illustration

Kel · 12th March 2010, 23:15

Edward Scissor-hands meets Prototype?

Second one looks good though..

There's quite an improvement from the first to the last pieces here, so keep up the good work

I agree with that critics. Muscles, proportions, extremities (feet!) - these lack a bit.
Same applies for architectural elements (basic rules of physics, construction).

I like light and texture as well: 'easy' done, not too detailed, rather using 1 stroke instead of 2. All in all maybe a bit dark, would be interested to see something brighter (like to see how you gonna highlight stuff in way brighter environments).

Also i'd really like to see more sketches or maybe some work-in-progress- pictures.
Good work

Thanks for the comments, Alanthera. I've actually started to take anatomy classes again, which helps a lot

and well, with the sketch above, you'll see soon enough how I can manage more bright scenes

MrHoot · 29th March 2010, 00:21

Sorry, haven't posted in a while. Convention stuff is coming up nicely, sadly it's composed mostly by fan arts so i'm not going to show them as it's quite unpersonal :/

I can show you this thing i made to troll the public though

Trystram · 29th March 2010, 01:30

I love it can I put it in my signature

MrHoot · 29th March 2010, 01:38

Fo' sho' boss !

Thunderdome10 · 30th March 2010, 20:31

you've got a lot of talent, keep up the good work =)

Aalandriel · 30th March 2010, 23:20

Hehe cute pika.
Now show up some of those fanart creations as well - even if they are unpersonal!

Trystram · 13th April 2010, 09:10

assume you are busy with your convention hope it is going/went well

MrHoot · 13th April 2010, 19:40

Yeah convention was okay, thanks a lot, you people who support my work

I will get back on track as soon as possible, just need to get some things straightened up here and i'll get back to work.

MrHoot · 20th April 2010, 01:19

Holy shit new stuff

Okay, so this was kinda a trial to do something with a clear blue sky. It didn't turned out bad but FUCK I HATE DRAWING CLOUDS FFS (seriously, making GOOD realistic clouds is a pain when you don't have a reference)

EDIT: This is kinda a wip (fucking clouds), i'll post an update a bit later

MrHoot · 20th April 2010, 19:56

Also, as requested, here are two stuff i made for the convention (vincent valentine & kamina from gurren lagann). I liked their designs so it was cool to make, at least, even though if I had to deal with the screeching fangirls afterwards.

Spiderspy · 20th April 2010, 20:03

Nice I like the valentine, even though the start of the gun and the hand looks odd.

Good going!

Well he's holding his gun so you see the top of it actually, if that's what's bothering you ^^; other than that well yeah they were all quick works so I was too lazy to work on them fully, my bad :/

MrHoot · 20th April 2010, 23:55

Also, my website s'been updated. If you want to check all my work without having to scroll, i recommend to go visit it.

ALSO, other notes, I DO take commissions. Thing is, they're not free, at least not totally. I won't necessarily charge you for money; I don't make a living from my drawings, though I kinda would like to start doing some professional work for others, that means also setting some small standards (anyway, i do not ask for much. And if it's just for a sig for example, it'll be close to nothing). So we can either discuss a small price (depending on what you're asking), or some other kind of arrangement (nohomo)

Trystram · 21st April 2010, 00:00

good work Busard even if it is WEEABOO

Niiiicely done Busard *thumbs up*

Jade · 29th April 2010, 00:44

Very very very very happy with this

Big thanks man, anything in 3D you want let me know!

You sir are a very talented fella!

MrHoot · 29th May 2010, 00:18

More stuff, this one's for a client.

Jade · 30th May 2010, 10:21

Thats excellent mate

Saphirix · 30th May 2010, 12:07

Awsome art +1

MrHoot · 2nd June 2010, 22:01

Monfols · 2nd June 2010, 22:08

Really cool better then that sacrifice thingie.
I think it looks to toony in that this one with the banner has more MO feeling in it I really like it.
(frogs would look cool too "hint")

MrHoot · 2nd June 2010, 22:58

Your frog will be coming this week end since i'm done with my commissions =p

Pretty good, but your right, Your clouds do need alot of work done to them. Perhaps use a softened brush to get rid of slightly visable brush marks and make it blend into the background more.

The dragon also contrasts with the roof, however that could have been intentional.

Jade · 4th June 2010, 14:54

Nice one mate, there looking great

MrHoot · 4th June 2010, 15:25

Thanks a bunch.

I think i'm gonna stop posting there though, because so far i'm just spamming my stuff and it ain't that much interesting anymore, as the point was getting people interested and look at the website, etc...now I just feel i'm pushing it =p so I'll leave this stuff to die a bit, and maybe pop it up for some interesting announcement (like if my work appears somewhere).

Anyway, thanks for the support, glad you liked my stuff all of you

kio1992 · 4th June 2010, 21:24

you have a website?

i didnt even know

Edit: oh wait a minute, i have seen this website before..

Your website is pretty good, some portfolio websites i have been going take ages to load each picture.

MrHoot · 4th June 2010, 21:40

Yeah, i coded the website to make it quite light. It's not perfect but at least, everybody can browse it smoothly without kind of flash bullshit.

Also, the magic of image optimisations for the web, something that NOBODY does :/

Jade · 4th June 2010, 22:16

Thats a shame mate, I often look in here to see if you have added any new art.
But I completely understand why you are doing it.

I don't know how I missed seeing the finished product. Well done.

Vegas · 8th July 2010, 19:40

Awesome stuff! Makes me want to go buy a tablet. I had one for a week, decided I preferred acrylics & pastels to have something tangible for all the time I spent working on it.

varghulf · 14th July 2010, 22:15

Red Jack · 14th July 2010, 22:27

the problem i think with just starting out in concept art is that you should be giving each sketch less attention (coloring each one to completion isnt necessary for just a sketch) and instead pumping out more work so that you gain experience with proportions and architecture and such

also it might look cleaner if you left less evidence of your original lines

Thanks, I actually completely agree on that. I tend to spend too much time on individual stuff that are more average illustrations than quick concept art, and tend to bee too methodic while doing so. I'm trying to explore and acquire new techniques atm so i can pile up more work at once

Thanks for the advice

Red Jack · 18th July 2010, 02:38

like you should do some more practice on clouds if you are unused to them, dont just let them be

stuff like that
