quick doodle.

Steamboat Rob

Keeping with the theme from last week, just doing some character concepts. First up is a robot dude....will be refining this design further down the road....Gotta figure out those joints (magic!)

Cowboys and Robots

Here's some quick sketches for series of concept paintings I'll be doing. I'm thinking of keeping things to a theme so I have some context to what I do. This week is cowboys and robots, not sure why..... just because. Trying to incorporate more color into my stuff since I've been working mostly B&W with layer of color on top which feels limiting.

Was nice to see everyone at Anomaly '10 event last week, thanks to all the artists who gave me feedback. Craig Mullins was great, lots to think about for sure....Hmmmmm

WIP 2

Something from the WIP bin...

FIN

Well here it is. Not quite what I initially visualized in my head but this has it's own appeal I suppose. I treated the W.I.P picture more as a concept of what I was going for and reworked things a bit for more darker palette.

Here's the early stage of lineart and blocking in light and shadow. This is where grid line comes in real handy for keeping things in perspective



From here I would use the color balance layer to get the general color scheme I'm looking for. The whole thing came together relatively quick because I kept things loose without trying to render every little detail which would've taken forever.





Then comes the fun part of scouring the internet for neon signs and other random bits, tweaking the colors, re-tweaking, and adding textures.

And there you have it. Go Canada Go!

W.I.P

Quick sketch. Will get around finishing it sometime in the (hopefully) near future. Thought I'd share the process a bit

Beam me up Scotty

And now for something completely random, I give you Captain Kirk

Did this as a study on lighting, complete with J.J Abrams lense flare. Phaser is set to stun, obviously...
