Spear Warrior concept - take two

Second pass. Second scratched concept. I dont think I’m ever going to get this one right :/

Octo-Samurai WIP

So I'm creating this weird concept...it started out as just a gag to just piss my teacher off, but it has actually moved into the concept art stages and that's just scary.

It's a Samurai. And an octopus. Octo-Samurai? Anyway, here's a few sketches and a color concept sketch that's probably gonna be remade, but it's just to give you an idea.

Spearwoman

First pass/scratched concept character. I need to re-work the concept with a better working pose. Figured I might as well post it instead of throwing it to the recycle bin.

Environment #1

I think I’m done with this for now. Environment painting study.

Concept sketch

some quick concept stuff. Leaning more or less towards the big one, but probably take out that belt, cause it looks like a penis >_>....

sketch 04042012

Broke out the Moleskine sketchbook I've been saving for almost a year. Quick sketch for it. The paper is so....smoooooth....

Anatomy study - back

Or the alternate title - "Strong, independent woman will break you"

A more developed version of the speed painting I was working on in this video. All in all, I'm pleased with Photoshop CS6 so far, painting wise. I'll keep poking around to see what else I can find on it.

Speed painting - Photoshop CS6 trial test

First time recording myself on a quick sketch, so hope this works. No sound, so play something in the background before you get bored.

I downloaded the Photoshop CS6 beta and tried it out. 90% of the time I only use PS for painting, so I tried out the new brushes, and while I can’t say that custom brushes are not necessary, it is coming close to that. I mainly stuck with the hard round brush and a textured paint brush. I can positively say it’s leagues away from CS5 in terms of digital painting.

My one grip was with the pencil-textured brushes. Some of them weren’t as responsive or useful as I would hope, but that’s fine, there’s plenty of those on the web to grab.

Retro pin up

After a year of having the WIP around for almost a year, I decided to go back and work it out and get it over with. The concept and technique changed way too much, it doesnt even look like the model anymore. But overall I’m kind of pleased at how it turned out.

Though it could use some tentacles here and there o_o

more Mermaid and random doodles

Speed sketch/paint of the Witch from the Little Mermaid tale. Different painting style than what I normally do.

A speed paint of a floating head. Just because. I was killing time, playing with an iPad >_>…
