[kingkostas]

NoodleDoodle-Thnx mate !!!
zou-thankies thankies !!!

here something quick.I may use this concept for some next works.
I havent done a lot today but anyway

[Emil_J.]

nice mech and the pilot looks great as well. Are you going the put colors on them and render em out? please do

[kingkostas]

Fumble-Thanks mate .If you think it will be nice, i will do it

here something speed to research something while "playing at training".

Keep in mind.
Classic brush-flatten it down from brush tip shape options
(this form offers you the ability to change the angle to the angle of the surface, and then by doing a quick but accurate stroke you have volume,mass,brushstroke economy)
Texture-play with texture with the same brush tip to see some results on your strokes.If you think it suits your object then keep the brush and work with it.(i used some texture from photoshop itself)

anyway with this speed i try to depict mass very fast and by having in mind
"make your hand a 3d scanner"

Thank you all very much for your continuous support and sorry for not uploading very much these days.
I just wanted to play some games on the side,to refresh my game design ideas


See ya

[kingkostas]

here some pre-work thing.
What color scheme to choose?

i will work it tommorow, now i have to attend to some social things
see ya

[Lyno]

Man cooool stuff lately . I would go for the last color scheme, but what do you want to tell to the viewer about the robot. His function,... That kind of stuff, maybe it will be easier now to chose a color.

[kingkostas]

Lyno-I think i will agre, because i want something more "serious"
thanks

[Emil_J.]

Ill agree with Lyno, the last one is the least colorful and most serious looking one of them. If the colors are too strong the mech would be looking more like a toy.

[Jonas_J]

2nd the buttom right one.
Are you going to render it out? could be awesome.

[kingkostas]

Fumble-Thnx mate
Braintree-Thank you

Ok i did something.Sorry for not having a background or something and it may look cartoon mixed with 3d forms and such,but i had some fun doing it.

See ya

[HAJiME]

I liek the way you draw faces a lot. Awesome sketchbook!

[Lyno]

Hey man, looks cool, and you had fun making it, so that's great
Cool!

[JoshDArtist]

Great work!!!!

[xinranliu]

lovely lines mate
in the last bot the rendering is great, but i see some noise/pixels around the line art (probably because of the 3D) making the edges a little bit too hard for the fiery atmosphere

i hope this helps

[kingkostas]

HAJiME-thanks mate !!!
Lyno-thanks
JoshDArtist-Thank you very much
ronaldliu-ahh its because of some sharpenings,i havent used any 3d model or something.I am glad if it seems so 3d. Thank you very much


see ya all and thnx for the great support!!!

[MacTire]

Great updates kingkostas!
Liking these suit designs, great rendering on them. I like what you did with the last one, as you put it, a mix of cartoon and 3d, it's looking good!

Keep up the great work mate!!

[kingkostas]

MacTire-Thanks Mac !!!

here some character doodling.I will have to try a lot harder to make it to new levels.I will not say i am feeling happy.So i have to draw more.

See ya all you are the best

[zou]

hi Kingkostas

as always, awesome design on those robot.
This last figure well designed. but maybe his his jaw is too large (i mean the part of the cheek and jaw)
the poses are so funky its change from rigid poses of soldiers

[Lyno]

Heey man , the jaw is indeed too large, love his expression though.
Funky poses indeed . I hope you finish the last one?

[kingkostas]

zou-Thnx mate .I like to make poses with a lot of motion.I will keep the strict ones for specific works
Lyno-Thnx Lyno .I am not sure if i will work again on this one.Maybe i will use the concept for something else on later works



Here something.I had this concept and i decided to take it on another level by making directly coloring on a new pose from ref.
Its one of the bad guys.
My stars are falling so that means i have to try a lot harder...
see ya all and thnx for supporting

[Lyno]

Hehe updating while I was commenting .
Love the skin tone, really nice, but you forgot his nipples.
I also see you're using more brownish colors for the skin tone. In the future, try using other colors. I know it can be hard to pull off, but the satisfaction will be even greater!

[zou]

the flesh tones are very good


the concept is great: it reminds me of japan games like MGS and Oni

I like these pixelated effect you get on some area. it's inspiring

keep posting

[Jamie Romoser]

so much improvement is being seen man your characters are awsome.
Keep up the hard work man

[kingkostas]

Lyno-I will keep searching things mate Thank you!!!
zou-thnx for the encouragement mate !!!
OmertA-Thnx,i will mate !!!

Here something for today,no refs
Anyway i have to work a lot harder!!!

see ya all

[Lapada]

I do like your Process work , and some Lol-ful faces XD

[kingkostas]

Lapada-Thnx mate !!!

here something for now.will do more later

[Carbono]

Hey man, your studies are coming along quite nicely. Your latest color work reminds me of Broom, always a good thing!

And you deserve more stars, so... Voted!

Cheers man, keep it up!

[Porg]

Wicked stuff!

I've seen a fair few people do this quite a lot but why do you shade the end of the nose? Is it because it's always a bit red due to a threatening cold?

[MuGen'arto]

Oya!! Your style is emerging and it's quite amazing and the color work is obviously improving, especially the skin tone.
keep it up man ^^.

MuGen'arto-Thnx Mugen
Yor-Thanks mate, i am glad you like it !!!

Ok here somethings for now.
No refs and quicks.Please dont mind anatomy and such on the first one,cause i made it random and quick just to sharpen my new understanding of rendering 3d forms and different materials.

See ya all and thnx for the really great support!!!
You all are my motivation
