i drew the spheres and background from reference - eyedropped most of the colours for the environment, bad boy me, but I suck with environment colours anyhow... should do more studys of that tbh, anyway rendering material after this stage

[Pigeonkill]

Very nice gun concepts. Has that blacksmith feel to it, iron work heft.

[Cold]

thanks pigeon man, there was alot of textures overlay involved, sure you could do it too

[Tawnos]

Gosh, how awesome are you??

I hope you push this last image further, it's looking phenomenal. The latest changes you've put on it really makes the perspective pop. Keep updating sir.

Really nice work on the cyber Hellboy Cold!! Nice idea too with the material spheres too, I think I saw Matt Kohr do that once before.

Great work as always!!

Whos Matt Kohr? And what does once before mean?

I don't think drawing spheres to get the jisst of what you trying to create as something new.

check this link - I do spheres all the time on the side, started 2 years ago

Yep, using spheres to show the textures is pretty much a standard practice in the video game industry. It helps the 3D artist get the textures that the 2D artist intended. And Matt Kohr is a digital artist; he has a sketchbook here on CA - link.

Anyway, the latest piece is shaping up really well. It's a privilege to be able to see your process. Also, I'm interested to see how you handle the environment; how you manage to preserve the extreme perspective and the sense of action it brings. Should be a learning experience for me.

i like it man, but i have one thought, maybe we can see "bigger" hand more, and i must admit i didn't like that branch, hope you won't mind this overpaint

Keep rocking

awesome paintover, and idea.... of course this is a serious matter... hellboy is known for his big arm, and it should take stage at a more dominant position... however personally I always hated the cheap ass big arm design... kinda brain lazy to me when they came up with it...

I can't say yes or no to that suggestion yet. But Mateja, I will seriously think about it, coz its a good point.

Thanks man appreciated.

I thought same, i also hate that big arm, but it became iconic, so think about it. Her glare kinda suggest it by it self, and if hand was in flames(i don't remember if that hand burst in flame or not) maybe it will give some cool additional light, or storytelling element

good idea rendering spheres with all the materials that you're gonna use...

[yongs]

Wow thats a really challenging pose! but it's looking awesome!

[Dan MacDonald]

Maybe make a big tail instead of big hand in the foreground?

[Cold]

I tested it out and decided to go against the idea.


new direction

[Nemome]

Yeah i am also AGAINST the idea
With the wood branch it looks much better in my opinion.

By the way super dynamic pose and overall great look.
Keep going!

[JakehC]

wow dude... sexy

[Cold]

thanks here some stuff im working on the side

[NickyBeats]

YES! oh my god! this is so flippin awesome dude!! your skills are really leaping forward man. seriously the improvement from like the last 4-5 pages is just GODLY.

[FUSHANDCHUPS]

Man, nice depth (and the rest) on that last piece. Ace

[kirill]

the stuff for cerebrus is INSANE!!!!!

[Cold]

thanks kirill, ive been out travellin for 2days, so haven't done much since

small update

[Nettle_Mountain]

I like that latest cerberos painting where there are two soldier shooting, the only critique that comes to my mind is that it could use cast shadows on momnsters, light is too much omnidirectional so it doesn't give too much depth/form, putting cast shadows from the light of gun muzzles would give it more believability, also little hue/colour variation could pop it out more.

small progress

[devin platts]

perspectiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive :3

[NickyBeats]

this is gonna really turn out sweet! love the design, and those soldiers in the bg! awesome!!

[yongs]
