[Dope Fiend]

[htkpeh]

i`m actually drawing some transport vehicle for my degree work.
this is a demon like hackney cab. i think the basic look like is ok but i´m not happy with the hole one so i have to work on some more variations

[Eludor]

[htkpeh]

i scaned some of my sketchbook sites.these mage lookin guys are for my actual semester project.
the pillar were for the last semester project.it was a level which we made in unreal engine 3 and my part of the job was to create the props

[htkpeh]

ok some of the images wasn`t attached,so here they are

[htkpeh]

and the last one.sry for double posting the pillar picture- browser problems

[htkpeh]

a few days ago i finished reading a warhammer 40k book.i like sci fi books because they gave so much inspiration.in one chapter of the book there where a throne room which was a commando station in a huge space ship.so now i try to draw this picture i have in my head.first i startet rough with google sketchbook to build up a perspective basis.this is my first WIP picture from it.

[Eludor]

looks interesting. cant wait to see the next steps.
at the moment i could see a lot of things diffrent than you, but thats ok.

[htkpeh]

next wip from the commando room,on the bottom of the pic are some people on control panels

[htkpeh]

so i found some of my old stuff,its maybe 18-24 month old.
i startet with painting 3 years ago, i`m now 25 years old.before i startet to study game design i had nothing to do with drawing. i only scribbled around in my notepad when i was at work but i had some much fun with drawing that i decided to make it professional.if i found some older pictures i will load it up


OLD STUFF

[htkpeh]

the next WIP picture of the warhammer commando bridge, i added colour und changed the it a little pit . now the throne looks more importent

[Mag-Neo]

---I'm afraid of that I can't give you any critics you wanted, but I can give you a WONDERFUL COMPLEMENT..... GOOD LUCK! for your research & studying...

[htkpeh]

thanks a lot!
often a compliment can help like a good critic

[Eludor]

the old stuff, i remember that. funny to see after such a long time.
well, the work in progress makes a good progress but in my opinion the light is too much.
but since its a wip you probably wont leave it like this.
as it is, my eyes are attracted to the light cores and are bouncing between those.

[htkpeh]

2 helmet ideas,drawn in about 1 hour

[htkpeh]

sketches from my searching for ideas

[Eludor]

the helmets are great, but a bit more light would get them more depth

those creatures are kinda hard to read

[htkpeh]

@Eludor: your`re right,as i was drawing it thought it was more clearly but now its here and i know what you mean

here a new helmet,i love helmet´s yeah
this one was good for metal shading training

[htkpeh]

over the weekend i did one graphit pencil drawing and one in photoshop.
often i don´t realy know what i should draw,sitting in front of my pc and think or start drawing with no plan but sometimes some interesting pictures were born from this

[htkpeh]

currently i `m concepting a futuristic soldier,i have a rough idea of the uniform in my head
now i`m trying
and critics always welcome,i need input ^^

[htkpeh]

the next WIP of my warhammer throne room
i extended the ceiling to increase the epicness of the room^^

[Eludor]

yeah, think its better this way, but be careful with the giant white area.

[Mila]

You have such unique and interesting designs. I like your use of brushes , and I really dig your pencilworks. Big ups for the 40k piece. I myself find a lot of inspiration in 40k novels as well. I'd like to see you paint more and can't wait where you end up with your ship command centre. ( I'm such a sucker for the Imperial navy in 40k novels )

Keep it up!

[htkpeh]

thank you Mila,your words are a real motivation for me
you are right eludor.i think the big white windows are big problem so i changed them to darker once,because it`s space ship i will put some stars in the background and maybe a planet
now i try to give the picture a warhammer feeling

[M1dor1]

I like your artwork with those "warhammer" feeling in my opinion its more than a great work even its not already finished . Maybe you can add these typical "old+used+technique" style how you can find it in these codex's .
