Shark!

Hey everyone,

It's been a while since my latest post, but I'm happy to say that I'm all moved into a new apartment and loving my new Job at DE. The people there are really friendly and the company takes really good care of it's employees. So far I'm having a blast!!!


Over the past couple of years I've been trying to work on different personal projects and now I've chosen to work on the "Bounty Hunter Wars" (title will change) for the foreseeing future. So pretty much I will be trying to figure the story and characters out in my spare time, and also focus a lot on developing a style and working on my colors and values.

I'm continuing a couple of iterations on shark, here's my latest pass. I've done a thousand of these and this is the closes I've come to being happy with him. I dropped the four eyed idea, I buildt a really quick proxy in zbrush to get the 3/4 angle working the way I wanted to and painted over.

Anyways, hope you like it.

Bounty Hunter Wars: Shipyard

Last weekend I started a piece for a shipyard idea I had for my Bounty Hunter Wars, personal project, and today I had some time to finish it. So far I'm happy with this direction. I want this world to be gritty and dirty so this was a fun piece to work on. None of the designs are final, just a fun mood and exploration piece.




A co-worker wanted to see how I do some environments, so I've also added a step by step. No 3D this time, I was trying out shape exploration. Hope you guys like it!!

Any comments or questions, let me know.

Bounty Hunter Wars

This is the running title I have so far for my new personal project. This is the other female companion. I'm doing different versions of this character Rook-VIII. Trying to come up with a cool female alien lineup.

It's tough making attractive alien females, the more you draw away from human features the harder it gets, but it's a great exercise and a ton of fun.

I will share the rest as I get them done.

Also as a bonus I'm adding some sketches I did a while back of some environments i was thinking of using. In this case i didn't use 3D, still lots of fun though.

Enjoy,

Enter the new year

Hey guys,

Happy New Year! Can't believe it's almost February, time is flying by too fast.

Here are a couple of sketches of a personal project I'm working on. A Sci-Fi, Bounty Hunter Tale. In it there's a Mob Boss who has two female bodyguards, one an alien girl and another one a human. Here's a stab at the human one.

For her I was inspired by Mercy (Lex Luthor's Bodyguard) and also from different Fashion collections. This one in particular was inspired by Alexander Wang's F/W 2010 collection. I like the direction where this is going, but it seems too military or rigid for me, maybe even to air hostess like. Also not very practical as it seems too tight for her to fight in. I'm still working on her and her alien companion so there's plenty more time for trial and error.

I just wanted to share this quickly and also ask you guys a question. I enjoy painting or drawing clothes and in particular folds the most. I find it very relaxing and a real challenge at the same time. is there anything that you guys like drawing the most? why so?

Thanks for dropping by,

F.Acosta
