Hmmmmmmm, i like the drawings...gandalf's robes are lookng rather bland for the high subdivison there are already for. i think yuo should work in to it a lot more before you step up the divs, umm also the lighting isnt brillaint on him the warm and cool from completelty opposing sides looks to symetrialc and boring a tad. things are getting there tho man. keep it up.

Trying to organise self, and start work on my next piece - I was originally going to do a tram driver character for my other showreel piece, as it was originally in our film but was cut. But I haven't been able to come up with any interesting ideas, and it doesn't really lend itself to much interesting design work.. or I'm just stuck =/ There aren't any other characters for me to work on for the film, so I was thinking of taking it in a different direction, and try to get some nice stylisation into it. Thoughts on pushing it away from just 'tram driver'? I was thinking of going a more fantasy route, or just something that I can have a bit more fun with really, like a travelling merchant or a wagon driver.

Here's my current show-reel fix list -

If you want something more interesting but mediaeval / fantasy ish, I find that a trawl through the images of http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com/ is often very inspirational. Also looking at the prints of Albrecht Durer might find you some odd types to model...

Durer's rabbit drawing was what got me interested in drawing way back when I was 8 or so. Man had skills !
