[ResidentSamurai357]

When will we see more of Marko? He did say he was making another one in his first dvd.. Plus his bio is not finish.. "to be continued" haha.

[MassiveDVD]

Soja: Sorry about that. Nox part 1 is compressing right now. I expect it will be ready tomorrow.

Resident: Marko made that statement when he was still living in the States :) Anyway, we'll be seeing him at the workshop in Seattle and I'll see if something can be put together. No promises, though. The Atlantic is not small.

[hm333]

oh man big news, looking forward to it!!

[Qitsune]

I know CA is adding more and more fine art content and I'd really like to see a tut on the different ways of measuring (sight size, plumblines, etc) maybe not as the sole focus, but it's the kind of stuff that is hard to explain textually and is great to see.

[Soja]

OH MY GOD!!! THE SCREEN SHOT LOOOOKKKSSSSS AAAWWWWEEESSSOMMMMEEE!!!! CANT WAIT CANT WAIT!!!
THANKS U SO MUCH CA!!!!

Patience, young padowan. I think Manley said in a different thread that things would start coming together by Friday.

[MassiveDVD]

Qitsune: All of those excellent foundations will be found on Carl Dobsky's DVD on cast drawing. It should be out sometime... uhhh... later :) Q1 2008, for sure.

[MurdokX]

Woo WOOT cant wait, holy *@$$@ layer 89!

[hm333]

Woo WOOT cant wait, holy *@$$@ layer 89!

layer 89? see it again xD

[Justin.]

Just so you guys realize, say, you have 9 layers and you merge them all down, and name it "Merged", your next layer will not be autonamed "layer 2", it will be autonamed "Layer 10"

having 94 active layers would make saving and flipping horizontally take approximately around 5 and a half minutes. The most I've ever had up at once was around.... 42, unmerged, and it took me about 2 an a half minutes just to save, 3 minutes to flip horizontal. when you merge them it takes about 1/20th of the time.


Hey Hm333, with all this DVD knowledge you must have drawn at least 1 picture?

I, for one, found his post very informative. So there! :P *gives raspberry*

[OYO!]

Wow ! The Nox's tut looks pretty sick ! Raaaa such a good idea to reproduce the color wheel in the swatch library like that, how i didnt think about that before !!! Raaa noob !

Thanks for sharing !

Am wondering what are the lab colors and why he s using it now ...

[Jorge Gecov]

I want all dvds, but can't wait for El Coro and your videos Jason.

Cheers!

[OldJake666]

Will Android's come out soon?

[MassiveDVD]

Andrew just completed his voiceover last night. It's filled with incredibly insightful remarks about both his process and artwork in general. It shouldn't take too long to mix in the music and put the final together, but the plan is to release Nox part II first. I can't give exact dates but it won't be too long.

[MattGamer]

Tomorrow Jason's vids come out! *crosses-fingers*

Wow, this is so exciting to have some amazing things to wait for. Thank you for showing us patience MassiveDVD. ;)

[MassiveDVD]

Matt: Sorry, man, but Jason's aren't coming out tomorrow. He wasn't thinking of the GDC in Lyon (http://lyongdc.com/)when he planned the schedule. We'll let you know when they're close.

[MattGamer]

Oh no worries. I'm still enjoying the Nox video. Thank you for the heads up! ;)

[Jason Manley]

yep..am in france for a few days on biz...but i got some more material for my downloads so it will be another week or so...hopefully next friday. I have all the recording done..as well as voice...just need to clean up the edits and add my new material..looking forward to getting this stuff out...have put a lot of thought into it, that is for sure.

Nox download is awesome! Cant wait for Jason's stuff! How about a Wesley
download!!??
This stuff is pure gold.

[miNze]

2. Android Jones- Digital Fine Art Series - Part 1.

Can't wait to see it =)

[Mr. Visions]

Jason, any update on your color theory videos?

- Visions

[MeTaL-Mike]

Jason, any update on your color theory videos?

- Visions

Yeah, i'm totally looking forward to that too. Can't wait :D

[Jason Manley]

Yumiko and I went to Paris and Lyon and took 12 gigs of pictures at the louvre and dorsay. I wanted some great examples and so we went to where we could find the best. My composition vid is fully recorded and voiceover is complete it just needs editing at this point. I am in Shanghai on biz now but both will be done before the new year gods willing.


Jason

[Jaku]

can´t wait!!!

[Mr. Visions]

Awesome, looking forward to them.

[Craig D]

Jason

research is a bitch sometimes eh?, :)

[kraal]

one thing needed for these is a quick time preview..... for example i like the idea of the color theory but the question is ' is this what i am looking for or need?'

[Jason Manley]

kraal if you dont know what color theory is then perhaps it is what you need. I have seen your work. You need it. :)


Jason

[MeTaL-Mike]

Yeah i can use the Color theory as well man. Really can't wait for it. Hurry dude, hurry :D:D:D:D:D

[Jason Manley]

ive been learning a ton doing this...digging up lots of my old memories and studies...business has trampled me for a few days...working on em as time allows. soon soon.

[Sig.NAL]

Hhhmmmm... This is very exciting, i have purchased every release i've been able, gonna check out Nox1 tonight after i get off work, and I'm really stoked to check out yours Jason. Is Android's Digital Fine Art Series Part 1 the Shape Theory in Z-Brush video or is it something else? If so, I must have it *clutches fist and laughs maniacally*

And the prices get bumped up after Jan 1. i see. Still a bargain if you ask me, but it seems that Massive Black and CA are getting all of my money this holiday season. How am i going to afford to eat when i'm in Seattle huh!? Hawk my art supplies? Test the digestibility of oil paint? Doesn't matter, it's going kick everyones ass and melt our feeble brains, or i'll eat my hat...

[charger]

so what happened to "2. Android Jones- Digital Fine Art Series - Part 1."

[Jason Manley]

He is scheduled to review the final tonight.


Jason

[Benjamen Christ]

yay!!!!!!!!

- Visions

[MassiveDVD]

Hey guys,

We've got 3 downloads that are about 90% done. Hopefully we'll have at least one or two more out before I have to hop on a plane to go home for the holidays. :)

Best Regards,
mbDVD

[MeTaL-Mike]

Cool. Hope it's the one about color theory :D:D:D:D:D


Nice holidays everyone :D

[MeTaL-Mike]

Kind of quiet with the vids at the moment. Any news on a new release???

[S!R]

I can tell you this: After listening to Jason speak on color theory for a couple hours yesterday, I too am anxiously awaiting his two part download!!
Took pages and pages of invaluable notes.


Sweeeeet!

[MeTaL-Mike]

wow man. Fuck i wish i could be there :(:(:(:(:(

why don't i live in the states??? :D

[Earendil]

I can tell you this: After listening to Jason speak on color theory for a couple hours yesterday, I too am anxiously awaiting his two part download!!

Sweeeeet!

Between Khang and Jason I'm really excited to distill the information, digest it, and apply it to my future endeavors. I also don't feel as weird for staring at a "boring" sunset examining the hue shifts etc.

[Mindflaw]

Dec: 8
3. Jason Manley (yeah me)- Color and the Theory of Light, parts 1,2
4. Jason Manley (double me): Composition and The Visual Structure of Masterworks.

When is these re-schedule to be released??? Actually this finally made me get visa on my bankcard, after years of procrastinating, so I may be able to buy these especially the colour and theory of light. I heard really great stuff about Manley´s colour theory from one who attended one of the first workshops, and now from S!R too :)

to you all for making these :hugsmile:

[Heat]

my god if i have to wait for karl dobskys any longer i am going killlllll something :upset:

[Saturns Gate]

Good Stuff Manley and team! My credit card is at the ready! Gimme some sugar baby! :yum:

[Rabid]

Out with em already!

[Taj]

Jason, Hurry up finishing the Color theory dvd please!!!

[MeTaL-Mike]

yeah man Jason, please dude. don't let us wait so long.

[Call0ps]

i have just a small question, when Carl Dobsky's dvd going out? im sure hes super busy and all, but i read about his dvd when i bought Marko Djurdjevic's dvd ( when it got out ), and i never heard of it since then... any info would be helpful, thxs

[MassiveDVD]

call0ps (and others): Manley recorded his color theory and composition tutorials, but when we reviewed them it was decided that while the voiceover was great, the visuals could use some work. So they're being re-done so that we can deliver a better product. Sorry! :)

Carl Dobsky has been really busy (teaching, working at MB, getting work ready for private shows) and the project had to be sidelined for a bit. This extra space, though, allowed us to really give the downloads a push, so in some ways its a good thing. I spoke with Carl earlier in the week and we'll be getting back on track soon. Sorry, again! I really am.

---
The video department was a one man team (me) for a long time, and we recently added Jonah, and we might be adding another person soon. With all the added resources you should be seeing more and better quality releases in the coming months. And, by the way, it's primarily the support of conceptart.org members that has allowed this growth, so thank you.

Aaron

[Call0ps]

MassiveDVD thx u for the fast reply :)

[MeTaL-Mike]

Hey guys, i don't know if android will be doing any more video's but wouldn't it be a good idea to do on about the self portrait? everyone know's andrew from that, why not make a vid about it, i would really be interested in seeing how he goes about that.

[MassiveDVD]

metal-mike: I think that's a really good suggestion and I'll definitely mention it to Andrew. We'll be releasing an Andrew Boss Monster demo soon, though, which would bring Andrew up to 3 demos. We'll probably concentrate on some of the other guys for awhile, but perhaps down the road. :)

[MeTaL-Mike]

cool! that's good news man. Am still enthusiastically waiting for the color theory vid, also really looking forward to some more oil painting stuff but what ever you guys do it's always cool. the vids are amazing. keep em comin dudes!!!

[Jaku]

feed us, please!!

[OldJake666]

Is it possible that there will be any traditional tutorials? I'd love to see one from Wes Burt. I personally just like the look of graphite renderings. And if you think about it from a business perspective, there's a ton of people out there with a tablet. ;)

[Racasdorph]

Thank you! This is wounderful :anime:

[Dysphory]

Hi' every body.

Thank you for this helpfull and kickass tutorial videos !
Can't wait for the next ones....


Yumiko and I went to Paris and Lyon and took 12 gigs of pictures at the louvre and dorsay.

Jason> hi' Jason, the next time you come in Lyon i will offer you a drink, with pleasure, if you have time, between two museums or bisness rendez-vous. Just tell me :bashful:

[teho]

Jake Kobrin, i'm totally with you, man! i think more some traditional videos will be awesome! everything is coming from it... and of course videos how wes is sketching it's like the highest point of my dreams.
anyway thank's a lot MB to produce such a source of information and inspiration! it's so valuable for people who are learning on this forum.

Rich Doble Creature Design Part 1

by: Massive Black

Price: $1,000.00

that would be funny if someone didnt read the price and bought it :)....is massive black trying to trick us?!:anime:

[MassiveDVD]

Rich wanted to use a gold pencil with a diamond tip... and then he lost it and we had to get another one. This increased production costs significantly, unfortunately.

[ShadowOfTheSun]

Rich wanted to use a gold pencil with a diamond tip... and then he lost it and we had to get another one. This increased production costs significantly, unfortunately.

my apologies ahead of time for poor grammar....was never good at it:(

"Deep inside the bowels of massive black there was a mighty sword being forged. The forger? Rich no less. He raised his hand to the god's and striked down with herculean force. With each strike the formless metal took shape. "aye", he said. "this shall do fine." Then with haste he traveled to the mountains of the dwarves. It was there that the finest diamond was excavated. It brilliance caused gasps of awe. They then went to work. They chipped away, they smothed its edges, they created a tip even the god's would envy. Then with his shaft and tip(not his penis:harbl: ) he went off to the mountain of the divine. This is where he combined both rock and metal to create the greatest pencil the world had ever seen. Then Rich went back to massive black and created a video of huge-like proportions. At this time they created a page for there video and set a price. "how about the regular 15$?" a man said. Rich slapped the man with the cold back of his hand. "this pencil is beyond anything anyone could conceive, how could such a low price be put upon it?" The man pondered. "how about 1000$?" "Aye," rich said. they looked at what they had done with wide grins...and it was good"

[janni]

lol, what a tease... cant wait... :)

[Kaffinated]

Any chances of getting some downloadable content from Steph Laberis or Cheeks-74? Something along the lines of making a vector cartoon character in adobe illustrator or concepting animated characters with Cheeks-74 perhaps?

:yayca:

dodged my Carl update question. do i have to send this guy in after it?:uzi:

woooo what if kev ill did at atelier tutorial

[Kaffinated]

Any chance on a in depth brush creation and application vid? Or a chance to get Lorne Lannings Keynote from the workshop?

[kraal]

what about just a download of some of your brushes or painter papers ect. Teaching how to make them is fine... but sometimes 'someone else made that perfect brush'

[iskon]

Hey Jason,
will be soon some stuff from Kolby Jukes and Ian Joyner for download? More 3D stuff would be great, for sure.

[MeTaL-Mike]

I'm still totally waiting on the color theory video that was supposed to be released in december.>:{ >:{ >:{ >:{

[DBVinalyze]

Any chance you gents and ladies will put out more environment tutorials? I have Whit's...but we are hungry for more. :)

[MassiveDVD]

Hey,

Just a quick note to let you guys know we're paying attention. We've got lots of stuff in the works (and completed) but it's not always a straightforward process getting the final product out the door. We appreciate your patience and support.

Best Regards,
Aaron

[Soja]

Im Thankful for every single update u come up with! Doenst matter how long it takes! U guys rock!!

Still on hold, mate. Sorry.

It's a personal priority of mine to get it done... but MB is a company that makes artwork for entertainment and that always comes first.

[kraal]

thanks

[skrubbles]

erm... perspective, storyboarding, outdoor environment...

:)

Sweet... gotta catch 'em all!

[schlichte]

a nick constantine outdoor enviro by chance

[ManaBurn]

Will we see more from Nox, or is that it for a while?

On Whit's DLs he mentions Coro painting city scapes, any chance we can taste that?

[Studio Colrouphobia]

I'm going to be bold and do a request here, as I looked around both here and with various competition (i.e Workshop et al), and I have yet to find any other then Marko's vids that are focused on CHARACTER.

Androids Boss Monster is interesting, but is more about the process of painting and finding cool shapes then actually concept.


So my request, should you choose to accept it, would be to get some Pipeline character creation/Ideation vids, prefferably going from "Brief, thumbs" (where important part would be "how to follow the brief and think of clients wishes and other things") through Sketch-phase, Orthos, illustration-phase, maybe a bit on modelling (though modeling characters in 3d probably is an entire vid in itself, or even several vid's), and finalizing.



Similarily to the vehicle vids by Kemp Remillard (awesome!) and the Steambot guy's pipeline-dvd's, I think this would be extremely interesing for anyone who wish to learn more about creating characters.

Almost as important as the actual footage of the painting/ideation process would be hearing thoughts on how to cut corners if pressed by time (i.e. what to think of as far as most needed for clients to see, not "quick fixes to make your art turn f****g-A!", as we all know that is more a fact of practice and study.), what to think of when making Orthographics, how to best please the client, how to fit the wishes between modelers (if any), directors/producers and any other people involved in the process of hiring you and evaluating your conceptuals. What to think of when your things get refused (in essence- if my stuff gets turned down, what should I ask, what should I try to think of to improve and come up with better ideas for the client) and so on.


Andrew Jones' videos are great as far as inspirational talk, Kemp does a great job at explaining what to think about with vehicles and their design, Whit also feels extremely inspiring (for me in any case) for explaining the sensation of feeling like a newcomer amongst giants (which is how it feels at times on these forums) and the other guys have their strongpoints in the talk.
I would be very happy if the "pipeline-inspiration" type of talk could be put into such a vid as described above...

Like I said, Marko's vds are excellent, I'd just want to see a pipeline-production-type variant of creating characters. Something along the lines of Kemps vehicle-vids...


Thank you for the vids you have there btw, they are really helpful for me.

[MeTaL-Mike]

I have to agree with Studio above, would be awesome to get some vids on that.
looking forward to it :D

[MassiveDVD]

mana: hmm... he's a tricky one, that nox. maybe yes maybe no?

studio / metal: thanks for the suggestion. we've got something like that in the works, which is another way of saying that we've talked about it but haven't actually done anything. :)

the process is being taught at the conceptart atelier with some really nice results so we'll try and make something more widely available.

Cheers,
A

[MeTaL-Mike]

very nice to hear that!! seems like you guys are always a step ahead.

looking forward to it.

not sure if you've ever taken a look at it, but from GWorkshop, iain mccaig's "visual storytelling" series is an awesome, AWESOME one, dealing mostly with character. check it out sometime. (http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/dvds/imc01.html)

Yeah, I own it. It doesn't cover the pipeline part though...

[milan oli]

oh! nice

[K-bot]

I am really excited for the portrait painting Jason was talking about one of the MB China guys doing. Any idea on the date?

[Theking78]

Yeah! I'm excite too in the portrait video! I really like how he render female faces!

[Brun]

can we expect some igor-alban chevalier (aka the black frog) dvd's by any change ?

[Jaku]

Any news on Manley´s color theory download?

[Pandora's Eyes]

Thought I'd chime in with a list of DVDs I'd like to see (DVDs, not Downloads, I'm partial to holding the thing in my hand. Call me strange.):

Kevin Llewellyn - Portraiture/Drawing from life (His "Puddnhead" DVD is fantastic! Would love to see some life drawing work from him)

Phillippe "HardcorePixxx" Guyenne - Concept Design/Digital Painting

Sean "Cheeks-74" Galloway - Character Design

Daniel "DSIllustration" Dos Santos - Oil Painting

Wesley Burt - Pencil rendering/Drawing from life/Sketchbook drawing

Gez "Gezstar" Fry - Character Design

Dan Milligan - Storyboarding

James Kei - Anatomy

Shelly Wan - Digital Painting

[Dysphory]

- Phillippe "HardcorePixxx" Guyenne - Concept Design/Digital Painting
- Wesley Burt - Pencil rendering/Sketchbook drawing

Yeah, this is a good idea !
Specialy for the hpx one.
In Dvd or download, never mind for me.

[Pandora's Eyes]

whoa! totally awesome how i requested a dvd on oil painting by Daniel Dos Santos and now i see one is on the way.

no luck like dumb luck!

rock on. dan rules.

...now if the MB guys could get Kevin Llewelln, Wesl Burt, Cheeks and HardcorePixX on the ball w/ doing vids... =P

[PieterV]

can we expect some igor-alban chevalier (aka the black frog) dvd's by any change ?

I read on his blog sometime that he had recorded some MB material (maybe that's what you were having in mind)

[meduza]

Kevin Chen or E.M.Gist type anatomy construction for me pls.
Or anyone who can do Reilly method:)

yeah thats what I had in mind

[Saturns Gate]

Looking forward to the portrait and color theory ones.

I would like to see a character based download but focusing on one character, same brief but using maybe three totally different styles: for instance, one style being realism, the other being cartoonish (Ala Team Fortress) and another style, maybe highly japanese orientated. I think that would be truly helpful for anyone looking to get in the industry and having to think about how to adapt well to different projects.

I think you could cover a lot in that respect, anatomy changes and exaggerations, how color will play a key role with the overall style, flat shaded, blended etc. Bring something like that out, and ill buy all three of them within a heart beat. :) Thanks!

Why not delete it by yourself by using the "edit post" button?

I am waiting still for the Theory of Color videos from Manley Jason.

...

[kraal]

erm... perspective, storyboarding, outdoor environment...

:)
ok those are done what next????

[ManaBurn]

Can we get something from Bengal? I dig his work.

edit: Looking over some artist works I think are cool it occured to me that there are two questions that could be addressed through this form that would be awesome.

1: How would you go about creating a painting of a broader scope. Not just a single character but a large piece with multiple charcacters engaging in different ways in a full enviorment. Kind of a this is how you put everything together in a larger scope series. Maybe it's because I've been at this whole drawing and painting for only about a year but I find the thought of doing a large piece daunting, and would find instruction on the development and execution of larger works to be very informative.

2: Bridging the gap between stylizing and accuracy. We got to see Chan doing a speedpainting and it was pretty cool to see him work, but during the tutorial he mentions that there are artists who are very good at using very few marks to give you the impression of forms with very little actual exact rendering involved. Jason Manley seems to have a pretty good handle on that really painterly form of speedpainting. Honestly though I would be willing to say that you would be a much better judge of who at MB would be best to tap for something like that. Again maybe it's just a lack of experience on my part but the looseness of form that an artist can achieve while putting forth this cool image is confusing to me.

Thanks in advance for considering it. ;)

[Pawkfox]

When can we expect the Videos from Shanghai?
(zhangulu)

[ManaBurn]

Anything at all from Hussar, and I mean anything! I think I'd pay to watch him brush his teeth. Really though, i can't be alone.

[Theking78]

Does someone know which videos will be released next and when?

Jason showed some samples of portraiture work from a M.B. Shanghai artist that was sic. Mentioned there was one in the works on portraits from that artist. I read on one of Androids posts that he had recorded some illustration work he had done for Dragon Torch, and if they give him the go ahead we'll get to see that one. That's all I know at this point. (crosses fingers)

[Studio Colrouphobia]

There is still the long awaited colourtheory... and the perspective vids that deal with multiple perspectives from mrDobsky aka Sweetheart :) all worth the wait, but still impatiently awaited...

[thelefthand]

Does anybody know the release date for the Dan Dos Santos - cover illustration vid? I saw the trailer for it on YouTube a few months ago. I really looking forward to that one!

[Benjamen Christ]

dido ......GIVE ME DAN DOS SANTOS!

[MassiveDVD]

Dan's DVD is going through the final tweaks as I write this. It's still going to be a couple weeks yet before it's actually on sale, but rest assured, it's coming! :)

And Carl Part II is coming too. :)

[ManaBurn]

Sweet!

[Studio Colrouphobia]

Whohoo! new dvds coming... :D

waiting for them!

[K-bot]

Is Dans a dvd or a download?

[nickmarshallvfx]

Cant wait for Carl Pt 2. The things i learned in his first dvd have helped me so much since...

Nick

[RogerAdams]

Yeah for Carl Part 2! Would love to see more Nox too.

[GNL]

Dan's DVD is going through the final tweaks as I write this. It's still going to be a couple weeks yet before it's actually on sale, but rest assured, it's coming! :)

Is Carls Cast Drawing Dvd on hold still?

Aye its been over a month, hope this is done soon!!! Also in case you missed it, I was wondering whether this will be a download, or just a dvd?

[skrubbles]

Here are the upcoming downloadables to look forward to for December:

Dec: 8
3. Jason Manley (yeah me)- Color and the Theory of Light, parts 1,2
4. Jason Manley (double me): Composition and The Visual Structure of Masterworks.

This was December 2007 and it's nearly December 2008 :(


yep..am in france for a few days on biz...but i got some more material for my downloads so it will be another week or so...hopefully next friday. I have all the recording done..as well as voice...just need to clean up the edits and add my new material..looking forward to getting this stuff out...have put a lot of thought into it, that is for sure.

"next friday" passed a while ago :(


Yumiko and I went to Paris and Lyon and took 12 gigs of pictures at the louvre and dorsay. I wanted some great examples and so we went to where we could find the best. My composition vid is fully recorded and voiceover is complete it just needs editing at this point. I am in Shanghai on biz now but both will be done before the new year gods willing.

Maybe before this new year?!


call0ps (and others): Manley recorded his color theory and composition tutorials, but when we reviewed them it was decided that while the voiceover was great, the visuals could use some work. So they're being re-done so that we can deliver a better product. Sorry! :)

Still waiting............. Any updates? Geez, it's not like Manley's busy running a company, workshops, and a large community. I totally understand the delays, but I'm just anxious for the vids.

[MeTaL-Mike]

I second that :D

[jcdied4me]

Just wondering what the time frame is for Carl part 2 and 3. Also, is the color theory video coming out soon?

As an aside, the videos you mentioned that needed a face-lift because the visuals were not up to par - wouldn't it be better to just release what you have for those who would benefit greatly from them rather than to wait for a prettier version? Surly, if the information is solid and applied in a practical manner it would be of benefit all around, no matter how fantastic the artwork was.

Personally, I would love to have the perspective and color theory vids ASAP. Its been a long wile since I learned about these basics. I would love to get a fresh "perspective" (pun intended) on the foundational techniques for these subjects. If for nothing else but to reground some of my bad habits that have accumulated over the years.

I really appreciate what you have done for the art community and can't wait to get my hands on those vids when released.

Take care,
Jeff

[NulEnvoid]

I'd love to see Jason Manley's Colour Theroy released too, he's an awesome speaker on the topic.

[ManaBurn]

LOL@Skrubbles

[kikindaface]

I'm looking forward to see color theory and composition vids, but almost one year that it was announced, so is it still an actuality ? wanna know more !

[Arshes Nei]

I'm looking forward to see color theory and composition vids, but almost one year that it was announced, so is it still an actuality ? wanna know more !

Jason Manley is a procrastinator, and he'll rule the world....once he gets around to it ;)

But yes, I'm also looking forward to his color theory video even though I know he's busy running his company among other things and can wait.

[Burtzum]

How about an animation tutorial vid with Chris Hatala? He made it all seem so easy at the Seattle workshop.

[DanielC]

Is there anything from the last workshop(s) too ?

[AdventDawn]

Personally I would love to see more DvDs where the artist is using painter vice photoshop. Seeing what inspirational stuff Andrew Jones and Jason Chan can do with the software has left me craving more!

[dcriler]

Anyone know if the Dos Santos DVD is next in line for release?

[MassiveDVD]

UPDATES!!!

1. Dan Dos Santos' DVD has been done but we've been awaiting the final legal paperwork with a record label before we can release it. Sorry.. hopefully soon.

2. In the next couple weeks you'll also see new releases from Whit, Carl, and Andrew. Environmental Speed Painting, Casting Shadows in Perspective, and Painting the DragonForce Album Cover.

3. Burtzum ... shhhhhhh :) That's a secret.

4. I don't have any dates, but I do know that Jason's color theory lecture form New Zealand was captured in HD.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo... Finally.

And of course we have lots of other stuff planned as well, but I don't want to get too far ahead of myself.

Thanks for your patience and continued support everyone! :)

[N-man]

good to hear i need more things to download on christmas:) hopefully you guys make another nox video im really enjoying watching it even a year later. can't wait for the color theory video either.

[MassiveDVD]

I talked to Nox and he will be doing another one, but he's currently in France and very busy with Massive Black work. Same goes for Chan, except for the France part.

[Asatira]

So much joy about the new releases. I look forward to them.

[BlackGuy]

I remember reading something about Jason Manley doing a vid on composition. Or did I just make that up?

[teho]

i'm still so waiting some pencil sketching vids... from Wes. :bow: :bow: :bow: :yayca:

[Nyarlathotep]

I have bought and downloaded alot of these and they have been very inspirational. The Andrew Jones fine art vol 1 was great... when is vol 2 coming ?! Also the photoshop masks vid from Whit was super cool, would love to see more like that. More like a foundations course applied to photoshop/painter. Theres so much technical knowhow involved with photoshop/painter some kind of video on ramping those of us with less knowledge of the programs up to speed. Cant wait for the new ones to arrive!

[Tjers]

Awesome can't wait =D

[Yautja892]

I would love to see a dobsky or coro oil painting dvd :yayca:

[FASM]

OK, really nooby question coming up, but where do I download these training videos. They look really informative and would really help me.

[Call0ps]

It would be very nice to have a video by Marko Djurdjevic of the process of making a full pencil comic book page like the ones he did for Thor. Those are beautiful.

Thanks:wink:

So does this mean Carl's DVD is taken outta pre production limbo?

[Ian Barker]

This isn't exactly on topic, but I'm looking to buy one or two downloadable vids (all I can afford at the moment), and I was wondering if there are any relating to Photoshop that are exceptionally popular that I should look at first. Think I'll get Whit's masking video in addition, since that one's so cheap and looks really helpful.

[janni]

can't wait for the new vids from the europe gang :D. black frog, hpx, djurdjevic.. oh my..
what's the status on those?

[Saturns Gate]

Great work on the new chan release, cant wait to watch that one! :)

Ok next up I would like to see would be something focusing on composition in a complicated scene, ala some kind of exterior shot of a hard edged city, industrial overlook.It could just be me but i find these types of complicated scenes difficult to balance out and any help in that area would be a great one for me. Cheers guys, amazing work! :)

[Studio Colrouphobia]

Request:
I have recently realized that quite often in MB downloads it is said "normally the client would [insert various things here] but since I am my own client for this video I wont..."

With that in mind, it would be utterly cool to get a MB production-pipeline video. I have seen the ones from the steambot-crew but it woudl be very cool to see MB pipeline ( 1: Character, 2: Creature, 3: Environment, 4: Props, 5: ? etc )
I have seen Marko's dvd which is gold for character creation, but it doesn't show the pipeline, just one step in it. Kemps vehicle-series seem to be a pipeline-video though. (I lack the last part but for the rest it really seem like a pipeline-type series).

Just to get an idea over the possible ways.

I can easily see paying 50 USD for each of those... Alternatively splitting them up like Kemps and with ~USD20 for each part...

I've lurked around here enough to see the talent here and would love to start my learning curve as well. I ditto Liffey's request. Are there any Photoshop videos you would recommend on painting using PS? A link would really be helpful.

Thanks,
Dennis

[Ian Barker]

Well actually I've already checked out several vids, so I guess I can answer my question for you. Jason Chan (quick sketch or final illustration) and Whit Brachna (speed paints or outdoor environment) are probably the ones I would recomend for technique. I haven't seen Nox's yet, but seeing as it's much more polished I'm guessing it spends less time with the basics.

[Burtzum]

Whit Brachna's mountain, speedpaint, and masks vids are great. He talks about general art basics, about getting a more natural look in photoshop, working efficiently in photoshop, and he also supplies his brushes for you to play with... all around nice downloads. They were helpful to me even though I had already been painting in photoshop for a few years. There are some key things that he said that have helped me begin to break away from a serious problem I've had with all my digital paintings.

Nox said something in his video that also pointed out a critical flaw in my work to me. Every vid I've watched has some good nuggets here and there. But for general PS painting I'd recommend Whit's vids the most to start with.

I would like to nominate Aleksi to make a painting video. I love his free-hand textured style.

[LumoGraphite]

Any word on when that video is going to be done with production? Been patiently waiting since the workshop. :)

[Hive_minD]

ehm : http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=144172

Been out a while now...

[Ian Barker]

Erm... what happened to the Jason Chan 3 thread?

[Burtzum]

Jamie Jones vids would be sweet. Just sayin'.

[Noah Bradley]

I think sPCLaW is referring to a painting did at the last workshop by Manchess which was essentially a sequel to the first video. I believe they recorded the process.

[Theking78]

I read the Justin Sweet's name a lot in these last threads.... it would be really good to see a complete illustration by him... I bought the video in which he did a centaur and even if it's only 15 miutes long it really inspired me and opened my mind...
Want to see more from him if possible.

[espaki]

+1

Jamie Jones is one of my favorites.

[KarylGilbertson]

[MassiveDVD]

Erm... what happened to the Jason Chan 3 thread?

It's coming... just figured it was a little premature since a few other vids are coming out first. My bad.

Anyway, requests noted everyone. Thank you. :)

We've got a few surprises coming. :yayca:

:mod:

[-Zer0-]

JFC it's downpouring videos, this is glorious!

[Bushido]

Jamie Jones vids would be sweet. Just sayin'.

+1!!!

[Burtzum]

To be more specific about Jamie Jones, I'd like to see something from him focusing on how to get a more traditional painterly look with photoshop. I can't seem to figure that shit out. And hes one of the few who really has that down. I'm willing to bet its half about thinking like a traditional painter, and half about knowing how to properly use photoshop and the brush engine to that end (and what not to use/what to use sparingly).

Of course I'm sure he also has plenty to say about color and composition as well.

[LumoGraphite]

I think sPCLaW is referring to a painting did at the last workshop by Manchess which was essentially a sequel to the first video. I believe they recorded the process.

Bradley is right. If you had read my post more thoroughly you would have picked up in that. Im talking about the new Above the Timberline with the composition looking from behind the figure up the mountain. I watched him do the whole thing.

[jubjubjedi]

Here's a pretty decent step by step with Mr. Sweet... no audio or anything, but you can get a gist of his technique.

well i bought almost every downloadable video yet... those are the ones id love to do a vid...

jon foster (oil painting, ideation)
ron lemen (color, portraits, life painting)
kevin chen (life drawing)
blackfrog (whatever his style is just awesome... comics/storytelling/ideation probably)
dan milligan (storyboards ofc)
david jon kassan (painting)
mike hussar (painting/ideation)

more to come ;)

[Darkside]

I can only agree with sone_one, all great artists and very cool topics.
I´m waiting for Dobsky´s too, the first two downloads had tons and tons of applicable and hands-on information in it.
Thanks for all the work you people put into these :)

[AdventDawn]

crap....posted in wrong thread...my bad :/

[MeTaL-Mike]

Hey, it would be nice to see some more vids on drawing in general, like you know, pencil drawing, like Marco's dvd.

[Kan Muftić]

Agree with Mike there. There are dozens of digital tutorials out there but just a few on traditional drawing.

[Ian Barker]

So... wasn't Android supposed to have a new download pretty soon, and Marko a DVD on painting? Any word on those?

[Zoriy]

It would be nice to see another Whit Brachna video more focused on atmoshperic perspective. Maybe some simple solution how to create depth and space in black and white or with colour. His videos is very helpful and educational.

[NickGuy]

is there anyway that 2 day workshop mr djurdjevic did will ever be available as a download?

[test8025]

is there anyway that 2 day workshop mr djurdjevic did will ever be available as a download?

for sure if this would happen, i'll buy the video... :)

[Hive_minD]

is there anyway that 2 day workshop mr djurdjevic did will ever be available as a download?

actually doubt it. Though it would not surprise me if they put it up for on demand again...

[NickGuy]

i know id be willing to pay alot more for a download of it than an on demand type deal

[nickmarshallvfx]

Any word on when we can expect Dobsky 3 point perspective? I've been looking forward to that for a long time, as 3 point melts my brain... I love the fact that you can learn really solid fundementals like hardcore perspective here, its stuff that too many artists fake or ignore, even at a professional level.

Nick

ps. Sorry if i've missed the answer to the same question on here somewhere already
