Wow. Been a while huh? Well I thought I'd drop by and show what I've been working on. If you like, please lease comments and ratings.

"Clicker" prison entrance to Cell Block A

A small clicker soldier

A larger clicker soldier

The mammoth 13' Uber clicker soldier

Yea...Pretty stuff

You still have excellent character design, and the images are very nice, and here's my analysis:

The design of the characters and the buildings in Image #1 are great, and that's the strength of the image, however the building still sorta looks like a pen drawing coloured in. The thin dark lines suit the characters as they are very small compared to the wall, but I don't think you should use such thin lines to draw out the wall, perhaps use it for concept, but maybe draw over it when you scan the image.

With the next 3 images, they are certainly great, very much your style. I see that your technique of paintbrushing in photoshop/whatever program has improved and you have a much smoother hue of colours.
The background of the last character image is a little unconvincing. I think you should incorporate some photosource and brush it up to look like cartoon concrete.

The last planet image is good, but the surface of the planet is a basic 3d texture, cellular. It looks great to those who don't know 3d, but to me, I see a common texture. What am I saying, it's wayy hard to create convincing planets in 3d. You'd have to paintbrush a whole surface yourself to texture onto the sphere. Regardless, it has some great lighting and it's a solid 3d image.

theses are amazing, you should make a comic out of these.

Bob Toasted · 10-18-2005, 06:50 PM

If you keep it up and goto Art School, you could be a concept artist... most likely for sci fi movies and video games. If that what you like to do. Its good stuff.

The fourth image is awesome.

Jatz · 10-18-2005, 07:19 PM

I love the textures in the first one. 5/5

Jacob Adams · 10-18-2005, 10:07 PM

The first image is really rockin', but the dude in the front's arm is too long. The fourth picture is the besticle.

Dean: Actually, its not 3d, its Photoshop. I picked that texture because its like a veiny metal thing, i thought it looked cool. But im glad you like my stuff!

Jon: Eventually i will, it wil lbe called FALLOUT

Bob: Yea, im saving up for AI in Denver its like a art collage. I would LOVE to do concept art for games.

Based Scrooge · 10-19-2005, 11:02 AM

whoa, that's brilliant. 10/10

Pozin · 10-19-2005, 06:48 PM

those kick ass! except for the planet, i could be wrong, but it looks like a photoshop texture on a circle and some roundness distortion

Mikepjbell · 10-20-2005, 08:59 AM

Yea i sorta agree with pozin. Its all extremely cool artwork drawings, but then the planet is a sorta rendered picture, just kinda doesnt fit, but, nevertheless, it's freakin awesome.

Your art style is very unique and awsome.
