Chav Frogs.

Just some more Chav frogs, submitting work for uni projects soon.

Crits welcome as always.

New stuff

Not new ideas (still alien fauna and... Alien people) but new images non the less.

During the week I was sketching on the train trying to add some 3 D definition to my drawings after my girl freinds critique about it all being too flat which shes very right about unfortunately, so I started sketching and ended up drawing this which Ive dubbed 'Fisher Beast' after an old concept I did which might be on this blog somewhere. critics are welcome as always.

Heres a finalised version of the Trader, going with an amphibian anatomy to explain the 'long fingers' in the breif.

And I've also started doing some drawings of alien frogs which im going to paint with dart frog colour schemes, in particular the species Tinctorious and its many hundreds of sub species (the one below is based on tinctorious citronella, google it, they are amazing frogs to look at) , these are all predominantly blue, black and yellow frogs which can be quite difficult to paint as they are not contrasting colours to me, there also quite shiny so its going to be an exercise in lighting for me aswell, expect lots of terrible attempts with the 'chav' frogs in the next few posts.

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.
