Book Sample Page

Hi,

Here's a sample Page of the book I'm currently working on. I wanted to show different kinds of looks for Sprocket, yet keeping them close together. Also I wanted some of the elements from her Academy outfit to be present in her Bounty Hunter one.

Hope you guys like them.

hi,

I normally just tend to post finished drawings or sketches, but this time I wanted to share a bit of my WIP. Over the last couple of years I have been developing different techniques to do my art.

For a while now I have been trying to do an alien for my personal project but had a lot of trouble sketching him down on paper. For some reason he just was not coming down right. At work I recently got the new version of zbrush and decided to learn it by working on the alien again, maybe the third time would be the charm

I started with a dynamesh sphere and just sculpted the basic skull and and the planes of the head that I had in my head. I then took  a side view and drew over it with some lineart. I brought the sideview back into zbrush where I used it as reference to further my sculpt. Once I was happy with him I took him back to photoshop where I'm continuing to work on him.

He's getting there. I still want to play with the head and "hair" a bit and also with the colours. So far I'm really enjoying this new process, seems quite fun and quick too.

later,

And so it begins...

Hi,

I had forgotten to share this one. I had to go back and look for it, so I decided to post it as well.

Not completely happy with how this one turned out. Dusk and Dawn are tough to draw specially in a cityscape. I think I will go back and try it again after some more studies.

Anyways,

Have a great week.

hey everyone,

long time no post. Been busy at work and working on my side project. I'm taking my time with it so it's taking longer than expected but i like how it's coming along. So here's a version of the sharpshooter character i had done before, but more sci-fi. I will be doing more variations on her costume as she is the main character. So expect those later one. Trying to get all the texture and stitches details into the designs to make them a bit more realistic.

let me know what you guys think

EDIT: Thanks to Alex's comments I changed the straps on her leg and try to bring out the self lighting shadows a bit more. Thanks for the Feedback!!!

Also here's a study that I did to understand the lighting and the pose a bit better.In the end I changed the lighting, but it was still very useful. I kinda like some things about the study more.

Another Environment

Another CGMW assignment, based on my previous thumbs. Also trying a different color palette than what i normally use.
