Based off a statue from the anatomy thread. This was fun.

Evil Wizard WIP

Tue, 23 Jan 2007 03:59:13 +0000

Well, this is me combineing some of the techniques of the gnomon dvds.

First I do a thumbnail marker sketch. I use digital water color to quickly block an idea out, maybe not even an idea, I did this for a while till I figured out what I wanted then I came to this. Then I use a scratchboard tool to find my character in the blobby mess. This was from JP Targets dvds. They are awesome.

I blow my image up to 3k and �light box� my image and do pencils overtop. I acctually damaged my pencil pass which I�m really pissed about. I unify the design with stronger shapes and add details. Steven Platts comic book penciling dvd. Tottaly awesome.

For the value rendering I combine soft and hard brushes. I got this tip from Sasha. I paint a shape then shade with a soft brush. I also add more details here. I try and focus on the material.

So right now I have a background I�m doing for this to make it finished then I will move on to color.

Venus

Mon, 27 Mar 2006 00:36:00 +0000

The Most Useless Creature

Thu, 27 Apr 2006 19:56:03 +0000

This was a design for the conceptart.org creature of the week.

The Ioapathieanea dolichocephalus. A creature of the planet Etheeniakala. Also known as the most useless creature in the universe. It serves no purpouse, produces its own food and because of its unique defense mechanism, the "Iopath" has no natural predators. Its 6 eyes allows it to see any natural predators approaching. THis tirggers it to expose its nerve bundle. It communicates that the migratory group might be indanger so all Iopaths reveal their nerve bundle. Together they empthiccally transmits apathy. People that come into a prolonged contact and strength of empathic waves of the Iopath haven known to stopped breathing.
