Some Sketches...

Heyya,

Here are some quick paintings that I did. Thought that they should be here!

Heyya,

Here are a couple things for the blog!
I just thought I should put this work in progress shot of the centaur warrior I am working on. I also updated a bunch of paintings in the paintings section.
I don't usually post stuff here as often as I do on conceptart.org, but it is good to post here once in a while.

Been a while since my last post, but that doesn't mean I haven't been doing stuff..
Here are a bunch of current and recent things!

I'll start off with my current projects first. Here are a couple of things that are works in progress..

First, this is the dragon rider I have been working on. I have the block in for most of the parts, there are a few missing. Everything needs to be detailed, textured, and then retopologized in game rez..
I have put this project on hold for a little bit though, to work on another 3d project.

This necromancer. I saw on polycount that Mixamo was doing a contest for character creation, and I thought it would be fun to throw something in. So here is a paintover concept. 

I have a lot of the high rez mesh blocked out and fairly detailed. I really need to cram though to get this thing done in time!

Here is a painting I have been working on. I am having a tough time getting it to be what I want, so I just keep fiddling with it.

This stuff is recent finished stuff. pretty random assortment..

That is all for now, I should keep things updated on the works in progress in the coming days. I have really learned a lot about zbrush from doing these characters though. I really should start cranking characters out like this and I should get pretty good. I really should make a male base mesh soon after these characters are done!

Dragon Rider, and more...

Hey,

I got some stuff here to show, and i just added some stuff to thee character paintings section..

First this is a model sheet I have been working on. 

I started with the look from the Dragon Rider illustration as my concept, and worked from there.

I would really love to model this if I have the time.. I have sort of abandoned my last few models because I learned so much while doing them, that the problems they had really bugged me..

I split the model sheet into three layers so that it will be way easier to model from. Also, when it is done, I will have a character that could have multiple costume sets.

Next here is a big ogre monster, fighting a native american, in a future Rome/asian battle dome...

This was loads of fun to do!

Here is some other random stuff that I did...

That is all for right now! I hope you enjoyed, till next time..

Aquamancer

I lied about variety, more fantasy stuff. I promise myself that I will do more different stuff to put up here soon though..
I did the initial sketch for this when I started the necromancer, but I chose to finish him first.
I put a background in this one because the character looks good against the darker colors.

Thats all for now! Till next time!

Ninja Gladiator Painting

Hey, here is the other painting I mentioned in my last post.

I have been wanting to do a fighter character in the fantasy genre for a while now. I just was busy with some other things.

Here is a small wip sheet.

I'm still working on that UDK level, but I don't really have enough to show at the moment to justify another post. 

Maybe tomorrow I will...

Ghost Princess Painting

I really liked the ghost princess on my princess concept sheet so I figured that I would try to take it a bit further and see where it got to.

Here is what it got to when I finished.

I'm pretty happy with the results, and I learned a lot in the process.

So, here is what I went through to finish it.

Well that is all for now, but I do have another painting  in progress, and I am still chipping away at that UDK project. More stuff later!

More Environments

Here are the environments I did today and yesterday.

Snow and Jungle..

After I did the snow scene, I watched some tutorials on youtube. I think that they really helped me understand depth much better. Here is one of the ones that I watched

I made a progress animation for the snow scene.
