Port concept/matte paint

The base was taken from an image from when I went to Dubrovnik recently.I've a follow up image planned for this so stay tuned

An Old Pal

I was stuck for something to work on so I decided to work up an old concept I stumbled across.  Doesn't quite have the lines and angles of the concept but still maintains the forlorn attitude. Lesson learnt from this exercise is to be more daring and push it more at the sculpt stage

The DEEEEPP!!!

 I wanted to have a go at some creature design using the multitude of techniques I have at my disposal.  The first image is a quick image board of reference and inspiration.  Then there is some quick thumbnail generation which explore design and and shape.  I then roughly modelled it in 3D max and exported it to Z Brush (the model of which I'll post a little later) to flesh out the design and continue to make further design decisions.  Lastly I use that Z brush model as a base to a digital painting.  I'm sure I'll keep tweaking it and eventually ruin it but here it is as it stands.

LG - Awakening of the Titans

This is a first attempt at marrying Z-brush and 2D painting.

Sci Fi Racer

Here is the final design and finished treatment. I feel I've pushed it as far as I can. I like it, feels like the late nineties were never gone I will certainly look into doing another one or two of the other designs. I'll add that to the backlog of projects I 'mean' to do

Splash!

Here is a mermaid/Siren character I was playing with over a lunchtime.

IN YOUR FACE 2009!!

Wow so that goes to show what a dry year 2009 was. Its only March and I've beat the total of posts in the whole of last year. Hopefully it will continue.

This was the first time I ever used acryilics and a palette knife. It wont be the last as I enjoyed both.

Life Drawing week 5/10

Only two this time. I must admit I wasnt a big fan of this model. She took herself way too seriously and her poses were rather pedestrian.

Life Drawing week 4/10

First off a big thank you to those who are now following and those who take the time to comment it is very flattering. I've been a little quiet of late due to laptop failure but hopefully now normal service will resume.

Here are my most recent life drawing pics. As you can see two of them are white on black and I've also included a warm up sketch that I liked. The proviso for that one was that we were not allowed to take the pencil off the paper. This gave some interesting results.

..but the flower sucks

So here's another speedpaint. I did this on an intuos rather than my cintiq I think it shows, it doesnt have the energy of the one I did previously. Plus the flower and butterfly are terrible but I thought Id stop fussing over it and post it as is.

Oh well, back down to earth, I guess I'll have to make a better go of the next one.

Life Drawing - Week 1/10

So here are a few choice cuts from the life drawing course I've just started. Plus my own creation, showing me her creation, yeah it's self indulgant but hey, it's my blog deal with it :)
