Here is a color portrait done for Don Seegmillers class. I had to make the flesh tones myself from a b&w photo. I will come back for more refinement...but right now i would just overwork the crap outta it. Hope you enjoy!

I think its way to orange and yellow at the moment, its reminding me of a Simpsons character. It needs for the majority to be less saturated, also you need to start introducing some cooler shadows.

**Kaffinated** · March 17th, 2008, 06:14 AM

smartkyle: thanks for stopping b and pointing the overly orange tones. I think i may of fixed the orange tone and will come back and touch up the shadows. For now im to the point I'll overwork the wrong areas.

Here are some more random pocket sb updates and a update to the color portrait paint.

Quick Thumbs for a magic invoker. Running with the idea of such a proficient magic user he has crafted a new body using a serious lvl of magic. running with the forms of his body attached to his familiar or his old body meshed with his new body.

I shall give it some further pencil treatment then take it into PS for gray scale colors.

Will get to replying on comments soon. I need some sleep atm.

**Kaffinated** · March 29th, 2008, 06:05 AM

Sorry for the horrid neglect of my SB. School last week was insane! I shall give this SB some serious post love. Here is more of my work from my cgs class.

**Kaffinated** · April 10th, 2008, 02:54 PM

So i decided to work on the concepts for http://www.gameartisans.org/dominancewar/ Dominance War 3 to help get more into the concepting groove and to get practice in for next year. I plan on covering all four classes.

Here are the first batch of thumbs for my Stalker/Warlord concept w/ an artifact empowered with darkness/void.

Here is my concept so far.

Stalker/Warlord: He or she is part of a mystic society of Buddhist-like culture. They have recently come into posetion of a ultra powerful artifact known as the Negator. The Negator is the embodiment of the void god Eridanus power left on the mortal realm for his own sadistic glee. The Negator has the power to erase one or hundreds of organisms from the physical realm with a single stoke of its blade.

The Stalker/Warlord is called Ecks Gee. Playing on the word Exegesis which is a Buddhist teaching on the emptiness of persons and phenomena is unique to Buddhism, constituting an important metaphysical critique of theism with profound implications for epistemology and phenomenology.

Ecks hails from the SunYata clan (infusing a bit of Feudal Japan into this) Where they teach everything one encounters in life is empty of absolute identity, permanence, or an in-dwelling 'self'. This is because everything is inter-related and mutually dependent - never wholly self-sufficient or independent. All things are in a state of constant flux where energy and information are forever flowing throughout the natural world giving rise to and themselves undergoing major transformations with the passage of time.
This plays off the Buddhist word Śūnyatā.

The SunYata clan teaches this through their own brand of martial arts. In this I figure Ecks can be a Warlord or a Stalker. If Ecks was a warlord he could use the SunYata teachings to call upon the strength of other living organisms that will allow him...almost taping into a life force unseen. If Ecks was a stalker he would use the same concept to be able to disappear and reappear by willing himself.

Now here are some thumbnails. I need to work on my silhouetting a bit more after doing this. Maybe more thumbnails are needed. Also i shall post thumbnails of the Negator weapon soon.

let me know what one you like the best

cheers

**Kaffinated** · April 11th, 2008, 10:55 AM

I decide to take some of the thumbs i like a bit further

**Kaffinated** · April 14th, 2008, 09:05 PM

CGS Classwork. Soon I will check out Kai's Demo.

**Santon** · April 18th, 2008, 04:24 PM

I like the figure drawing, but the right arm and face look a bit off...the arm for the colours, I think, and the face because the features, the cheek and nose aren't doin' it for me.

But lovely on the back and legs, I think...

Kudos.

Progress Shot of my WIP

**Kaffinated** · April 22nd, 2008, 12:38 AM

Update on WIP.

**Kaffinated** · April 22nd, 2008, 01:44 PM

thesadpencil: Thanks for stopping by and for the C&C! I gotta get back on that concept work you liked.

Quinn Simoes: Thanks man! i keep em coming!

FedDark: Thanks for commenting!

Santon:Thanks for the input. I think alot of what you commented on is my problem im correcting with trying to keep my eyes on the ref for about 80% of the time and 20% on the painting. So still having that ratio off a bit make some proportions look a lil wonky.

Lander: haha. yeah found me. you are doing quite well in the class yourself! thanks for stopping by.

WEEK 6
CGS class work

**Kaffinated** · April 22nd, 2008, 11:23 PM

more practice.

**Kaffinated** · April 23rd, 2008, 02:57 AM

Drawing a skeleton w/ low back lighting and slight side light from a computer monitor. so trying to get the colors right from dark shadow to bright bone color is interesting. still in WIP stages.

C&C anyone?
