That's a beautiful setting, Charlie, as always!

Thanks, glad you guys like it.

Another new arena - Crystal Overlook. Inspired by a visit to Death Valley a few years back.

guh, stop it charlie D: too much good in too little time >.<

lovely landscape picture, just perhaps a bit too uniform at times.

Aeronwen · Sep 19, 2011, 09:11 PM // 21:11

Lovely but aren't those birds huge?

Anyhow I thought you were too busy to draw?

Death By An Arrow · Sep 19, 2011, 11:44 PM // 23:44

It is clearly a flock of rocs.

Its the only explaination o__o

@Death: It's just some swamp gas reflecting off Venus. Move along.

@Urania: Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that in mind in the future. Are you referring to the surface textures, organization of the mountains or a combo of both?

@Aero: I see the birds as spread out in terms of depth - mostly foreground and middleground. If they were placed lower in front of the rocks, maybe that would better express what plane they're in so their size isn't so ambiguous.

And I was too busy to draw during summer classes. But now that those are over and Fall semester has started, all I've been doing lately is drawing

I laughed far harder than I should have at that :|

Meh, I don't really feeling like entering this year. My two studio classes are keeping me pretty busy on my off days, and I'd like to work on other things during whatever free time I have left.

Charlie Dayman · Sep 30, 2011, 10:51 PM // 22:51

Whoa that's a big file. Some fun ink and brush sketches. The cowboy ones are pencil.

Assignment for one of my classes - 30 pages of live drawings with hats and heads as subjects. Used myself and a couple of friends as models.

Haaats! <3
I love the style here. The limited lines are really cool.

Charlie Dayman · Oct 10, 2011, 09:26 AM // 09:26

PUT ANIMATION HERE.

ANIMATION GOES THERE

Thanks Drel, the fashion illustration style is pretty fun to work with.

It goes without saying that you are awesome and that looks great

Tommy's · Oct 10, 2011, 11:10 AM // 11:10

Bwuahahahahaaaaa epic! A bit short, but epic nonetheless!

Death By An Arrow · Oct 10, 2011, 12:14 PM // 12:14

So great. Screw ANet, just submit THAT as your halloween contest entry. Break their website, break their website!

Charlie Dayman · Oct 10, 2011, 05:51 PM // 17:51

@Hail: Glad you like it. Sorry it took so long for me to get finish animating, lol.

@Toms: This is exactly why they have teams of artists to do these kind of things - definitely not feasible to take on four jobs at once, lol. It was 12 seconds long at first, but after time-remapping it shrunk down a whole lot. After working on something like this you can really appreciate all the work art teams have to go through; drawing, animation, sfx, sound, etc.

@DBA: If I could I'd like to submit this to the Halloween contest, but I feel like that would be kind of a cop out. Though I would like to break their website and delay the results by a couple of hours again.

Death By An Arrow · Oct 10, 2011, 06:34 PM // 18:34

I dont see why there would be a problem with submitting this to the contest. Last year, penguin made his entry in april or something because he couldnt make time in october. It certainly fits the theme and is original artwork; no reason you couldnt win some computer parts for the effort. LOL

Sidenote: i cant seem to watch the whole thing smoothly, its too much for my computer (to be fair, my computer sucks.) :/

Charlie Dayman · Oct 10, 2011, 06:40 PM // 18:40

Hm, I see your point. I think I might submit it just for the purpose of having some of the Anet staff to see my work. I don't know what any of the rewards are - haven't really checked the thread or the official announcement.

As for it playing smoothly on your comp, it's probably just because it's a large file.

Gattsu05 · Oct 10, 2011, 06:43 PM // 18:43

Hardly a cop out. This is something you've put forth a lot of effort in. I say submit it and take top spot.
