Glad your liking it, I may do some more in the near future (hopefully better ones), as it is part of my Uni work :)

Title: Re: Digital Paint Sketchery [IMG Heavy]
Post by: Rian on September 19, 2008, 09:35:12 am: Wow, these are gorgeous. I’m particularly enjoying the texture and liveliness of the 2D paintings and sketches. Nice work!

Not sure if you were looking for critique on these, but just a few thoughts: In the first black and white sketch, the woman on the right has very strange proportions. Her torso looks oddly short – I don’t see this anywhere else, though.

Compared to the detailed musculature on the aliens, the chained woman looks oddly smooth. Almost doughy – she should have some muscle, even if she’s not corded out like the aliens are. I would find this piece more convincing if I could see more signs of the underlying anatomy. Also, I don’t understand what her legs are doing – is her left leg crossed behind the right? The way her leg fades so abruptly into the shadows kind of makes me think “amputee.”

Loving the attention to detail on the robots and aliens. Now I’m curious about what project they’re intended for.
Title: Re: Digital Paint Sketchery [IMG Heavy]
Post by: Raven2001 on September 19, 2008, 09:49:09 am: Aye critiques are always welcome, even if their about auld work :) Although I can't understand **** due t' this 'ere pirate talk thingy :P

The chained gal were bein' me very first high-poly 3d model... wot were bein' afore I had a date with Zbrush :D

As fer what they are fer:
The floatin' alien were bein' me Dominance War entry fer this 'ere years 3d category
The lassies in black an' white fer Dominance War as well, but fer th' Concepot category (note wot I didnt finish either due t' Uni work)
The other aliens an' robot 2d\3d were fer Uni projects an' fer a personal project o' mine
The rest is just personal doodles :P

Edit: oh and here's another one I just finished ^^

Post by: Flipside on September 20, 2008, 08:37:47 pm: I've never normally been a big fan of the 'moody mud' backgrounds on pictures, but your penwork is almost as awesome as your 3D Modelling.

Are those 6-figure polygon models waiting to be normalised, or already bump-mapped?
Title: Re: Digital Paint Sketchery [IMG Heavy]
Post by: asyikarea51 on September 20, 2008, 11:37:00 pm: you sir, must have a really in-depth idea of something big, racked up in your mind. These images just don't give off the same feel as a doodle. More like they're production art for something serious...

I don't like using the word "cyberpunk" for some reason I myself don't know, but that's the only word that I can think of right now...

:yes2: :nervous:

The robot is 17k poly, normal mapped... so you could say it is almost game ready (too many polys still)
The aliens are objects with millions of polys... I'll get them to low poly state when the mood strikes me. :D

More stuff to come when its done
