Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro

Well, I would have to say "Welcome, visitor."

If there is any newcomer, you are free to roam around and try to understand a little of the mess I call "My World". You might actually catch a thing or two. There is some order in my chaos, after all... And, of course, you are free to ask for some guidance up here...

For the old friends... How come you haven't been much around?!!! Hehehe! Nevermind. I haven't been much at yours either anyway...

And for everyone: you should know that this little lair is open to all who come here in a friendly and constructive way.

Feel free to critizise my works, as long as it is a fundamented comment. I always appreciate a good feedback.That allows me to learn from my mistakes.

I do warn you. Some of my works are quite old by now (some even dating from more than 6 years ago), so know that I'm better than that. At least a little.

In case you are wondering, my special superpower is my unique creativity. I love to read, write, draw, play or simply talk about anything of good quality fantasy. Or for that matter of sci-fi, RPGs, Manga/Anime, literature stuff and the like...

I like details. I like detailed stuff... I'm obsessive compulsive, as you may notice in my works. And I simply love to draw. So I always put my heart on it. Did I mention I do like details?

And I love creating the story and background of the characters I draw. Most of them, at least.

I like practicing new techniques and mastering the ones I already know.

Something that I value a lot is the uniqueness of people's characters and style, so I try to innovate as much as possible. If anybody believes my style is similar to anybody else's (and has a way to prove that to me), please tell me (but understand that I like Manga/Anime a lot). Have I been succesfull? I think I have, but you are not me.

In case anybody cares... I'm form México, I am a graduated Graphical Designer, and I'm 26 years old.

Update 07/09/09 It has been a while since I updated. I have had other priorities in life, and my other projects have left me with little drawing time. I do have a few things in the works, but to be honest I'm not sure anyone would actually care around here...

Date Name Comment   28 Feb 2004 Brittany 'Autumn RiverRose' Cali Loading... Hiya! I bounced about your galley and I dig the style! Well done matey! And don't listen to Melissa, I know her and she doesn't know what she's talking about ^^ plus we all have issues with proportion *shakes fist at it* But I think you're doing well! *gives many cookies for your gallery's coolness" Later! Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Wow! Thanks for the comment. Honestly I didn't understanded on what did Melissa based her comment... Hey, it doesn't matter that we have proportions issues. The thing is to keep practicing to improve that." 6 Jul 2004 Jarrad Eve Loading... Really wicked gallery you got there. Good job! Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. ome back again some other time, won't you?" 26 Jun 2005 Scott A. Horrocks Loading... What! No new art! Looks around for the artist in the area of thew woods. Come on! I want to take a look! Anyways, I enjoyed your works! Keep on working and hope to see new art soon. Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Oh, worry not. I have already uploaded some new art... Of course, with so many pending tickets, it will take the mods some time to accept mine... So anytime soon. For sure." 17 Oct 2005 Kestrel Loading... Hey Gray Wolf, cool name. Yeah I like anime, I generally do my eyes smaller though (but then that's how I do it) and your wings are really good, mine always look weird when I try to draw them on my characters, oh well. Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Actually I find that sort of funny, since my eyes are "small" for anime standard.. My friend, all it takes is practice. I like wings, so I draw them all the time." 29 Nov 2005 Leonie van de Poppe Loading... hey I thougyht I do ya a favor and returned to ya page. since ya gave me such a comment I loved to do the same. you told me to make more movement in my pics but look at your own characters. they can use that 2 and as colors they could use alot of them I am a big fan of colors but further a great gallery Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "First of all, thanks for the comments. I think you misunderstood me. One thing is movement (action) and a different thing is dynamism (aestetics). Yes, my drawings tend to be just standing there. But I try to make them look dynamic. It is a more subtle thing. Of course, most of the pics I have on here could use some more dynamics. After all, most of these are mere conceptualizations, character designs, not finished ilustrations. In fact that is also the reason of why they lack color. What is the point of coloring a sketch?" 12 Dec 2005 Meliawen Burnett Loading... I don't think you need to be telling ANYONE about body proportions. Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Uhh... Excuse me. But if I talk about them it is because I have been studying them for years. Perhaps my older pics don't seem so adequate, but the later ones are actually much more proportionate. And, of course, you need to keep in mind that the fact that I use a different standard (Manga like, with 6 heads) doesn't mean that proportions are not ok." 12 May 2008 Jake "GreyWolf" Blankman Loading... I like your style keep it up!! hey, my nickname is Grey Wolf too!! (not my name here in the woods) Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Well, thank you. I have been working on getting my very own and personal style for years. I’m happy it has been noticed by someone." 15 Sep 2008 Karu Hernandez Loading... Mwahaha!!! Si, ya vine a ver tu galería y pues me gustó mucho tu diseño de personajes!! Muy interesantes Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Gracias! Me alegra que te agrade. Precisamente el diseño de personajes es mi especialidad. Y viniendo de una artista como tú, es todo un halago. ^_" 1 Oct 2008 Vineet Aggarwal Loading... nice gallery i liked the ’big, bad’ dragon Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Thank you. I’m glad you liked it. The Big, Bad Dragon salutes you. ^_^" 9 Jul 2010 Necrolaico Loading... Quedé impresiondo con lo aquí expuesto, de verdad me parece una muy buena aportación (y sobre todo atinada) este trabajo artístico, el cual deja en evidencia el trabajo de una persona talentosa y sobre todo con una enorme noción de valores estéticos. A su vez, el dominio que tiene el autor sobre tan basto conjunto de técnicas, es merecedor de mi mas sincero respeto. Saludos y están re chiditos tus dibujos compa! A darle que es mole de olla!!! Damian "GrayWolf" Fraustro replies: "Se agradecen los amigables comentarios. Jo! Y eso que hace bastante no actualizaba la galería, y la mayoría de los trabajos que tengo por acá tiene ya bastaaaantes años... En cuanto a la parte técnica, siempre me ha gustado aprender cosas nuevas. Y tengo mis especialidades, claro, pero no le hago el feo a probar y experimentar un poco (a veces con más éxito que otras, como en todo)." Page: [1] 2 3 4 5
