Resurgence of the Traders.

After getting over losing something I'd spent two hours working on I decided to start from scratch with the Trader, I think it turned out well so far but I've still got to work on the hands and feet, im going with an amphibian type anatomy so I want to give them a nice colour pattern, though I'm not sure if a dendrobate colour scheme would just look like too much and detract the attention away from the figure.

anyway heres a line up so far.

Ive also started on a concept called 'Cyber Droid' how ever I might abandon this as I'm not so sure I like it.

Trader.

Just using the blog to upload images until I can sort my self out a memory stick so that I can carry files from one computer to another.

The description for these aliens was 'long fingered aliens with armoured suits.'

WIP so far..

The Colourful Trogs..

Ive done some more colour attempts with the Trog warrior, Its the first time I've tried to alter a colour palette on a scrotoshop concept before, usually once completed I can't be botherd doing anything more with them.

Im also going to start using my blog as a means to upload work for uni untili sort out something more suitable.

Colour Attempt.

Recently (or is it recentley?) bought two films I havent seen for ages, Sky Blue and Blade Runner, looking forwards to a quiet night when I can watch them.

I tried a colour attempt in Scrotoshop, not sure at all about the shading but I think the colours are on track. Was a bit of a warm up in Scrotoshop as its been like.. since I posted that Ferrignoli creature that I last used Scrotoshop.





Crits would be very much appreciated aswell as ideas for colours.

Uni

Hey folks. This blog has been a little neglected these past couple of months, so I'm gonna get back into it.

I started uni about a month ago and its going really well, the tutors are great and the stuff I'm learning is brilliant too, favorite lessons so far have been the workshops that we've been through with the artist jonny duddle.

This guy is an insanely good artist, and its been great to see how a professional go's about their work both on and off the computer.

At the moment were designing concepts for three differnt aliens of which we choose from a list of about ten differnt discriptions. really good fun.

I scanned aload of work specifically for this blog post but as usual the computer hates me, heres a couple of thumb nails and a quick sketch of a creature described as being 'an alien around caveman level.

Sicily, Uni & Work

Wow its been a while since I've posted on here. I recently returned from Sicily where I stayed with family for a couple of weeks, a brilliant holiday and a great time spent with family both Sicilian and the family that came with me.

Whilst there I did a little drawing but at 33C inside the house it was just too hot to do anything worth while, I have a new found respect for artists that are actually able to flourish in countries as hot as there, its not easy.

September is inching closer and closer and I'm getting more excited about it, not only the thought of taking concept art seriously but also to a certain extent getting back into being a student, this past year has been very easy, I have to admit I have an easy job which I love (except for the customer interaction bit, Im a little anti social when it comes to that part) (Also I dont love the job because its easy, I love it because its relevant to me) but I also feel quite isolated, for the most part Ive spent my time in the company of people many generations ahead of me and although Ive learnt alot about people in this time, I also feel detatched from my own generation. Theres also the absence of working in a practicing enviroment around other artistic individuals, I think I work better around other people for some reason. Maybe its the challenge of seeing people who out do me in skill or ideas that pushes me to try harder and keeps me focused to a point.

Heres a concept I did a few weeks ago, after so much typing I really can not be botherd adding any annotation to it so for the moment its a bit micellanious except for the teeth part, Im hoping that bits self explanatory.

Dwarrow.

Ive been so busy lately I've had barely any time for anything. Still concentrating on RoR but I'm even neglecting that for the moment.

These are some more finalised concepts for dwarrow miners, Im trying to give them an ingenious twist with unusal apparatus that isnt often accociated with that sort of time period (pre electricity).
