Good job on keeping these sketches going regularaly! If you keep this up you will have a great body of work in this thread before too long.
As a suggestion to help improve, try and alternate the sketches from imagination with studies from photos. Maybe for every sketch you do from imagination, find a photo of a similar scene and paint that to see wht you can learn about that type of scene / lighting condition / atmosphere that might have been missing from your imaginative works.
Great stuff, keep it up!

Thanks man. I will definitely do that, thanks for the tip! :]
I'll make a matte painting of the last sketch and I will do the bridge in 3D. Will be the first time I use 3D in one of my mattes.
Once again, thanks. :]
Take care,
Alexander I

This is kinda off topic but I figured it'd be fun to post anyway.
This is a quick drawing I did during my english and religion class, on a WHITEBOARD. Don't worry, I've done all the assignments and I have more or less completed the course. That's why I was drawing.
Archangel Imperius from Diablo III. This is just fan-art of him. I think he is the most badass Archangel. Archangel Imperius was created by Blizzard Entertainment.
Thanks for looking,

This is just a really quick sketch I did this morning before I had to run to the buss.
And this is the last one I do with this "theme". After I've turned this one into a matte painting I will force my self to do what I feel most uncomfortable with; doing SCI-FI pictures. So if anyone who reads this feels like sharing a tip or two, that'd be great.

Just giving this thread a minor update with a quick and rough sketch. Took about an hour. It's the first time I paint a city and also the first time that it's something SCI-FI related. Even though this is a rough sketch it felt nice to leave my comfort zone. You've probably seen what I prefer to do.
Anyway,
Thanks for looking,

Love this last one, your brush strokes have suddenly taken on a much more confident and paknterly style. Whatever you did there, make sure you keep that confident brushwork!
I have to say, that Archangel is awesome! You clearly have some talent, and I'm sure a lot of us here can relate to drawing in class when we should have been working on something else ;)
Your dedication is to be admired, you've done more in this thread in the last few months than a lot of people do in a year. Your improvements speak for themselves really. Keep it up!

Took about an hour.
Diablo and the Diablo series are made by Blizzard Entertainment.
