unimaginably stagnant

Henchman 21: why thank you. I'm sure I'm not all that though. still I am tenacious and trying hard every day.

Hybrid_75: something else.

inverse catheter: cheers! great fun making these. Just need to find the time to work some up into realisations of wierdness in my usual fashion. I'm a bit burned out from a hard fortnight of semi-crunch so I might take break tonight and have a try tomorrow.

thanks for the kind words! I shall post some more things as the weekend progresses.

new doodle, 1st thumbnail from the shapes page I did -

Great work you have a unique style i can always spot your pics straight away in the DSG,s. Love those sea critters.

[cw]

why thank you mitze. yours are prettu swishy too!

[cw]

another one

[cw]

half hour zbrush doodle - i made a new base model (very low res)

this one has the usual proportion issues, but I guess more practise will help with that.

[fionkell]

I really must learn how you get such nice hard edges on your forms, I have trouble with that...perhaps it has something to do with me sucking at the values knowledge heh.

Some crazy critter designs being fleshed out which are awesome!

[cw]

iolarnula: i dunno if im all that good at it (more often its happenng on its own rather than with anygrand plan of mine) but I just think of sculpting with the light/dark. I work with 3d a lot at work so maybe some useful stuff has rubbed off - dunno.

I am lazy at thinking beyond the basic lighting though, no fancy setups, and not a lot of bounced light/realism in that way. Another thing to add to my list of things to work on.

cheers for the comments

hi - I just wanted to say I really like you creature doodles.
They actually freak me out! And that's a good thing. I don't think I've seen creature designs that actually creep me out like that before - Good stuff!

[cw]

i hope they don't give you nightmares! they are a bit wierd though, but I guess thats the way my brain works, so who am I to argue ;-)

[Pad&pencil]

i have to agree your creatures are wierd as hell, but for some reason i love em'.....i dont know where you come up with them, but keep doing it!!

[cw]

I might do some more vanilla monsters too, just to balance things out - all these wierd ones are doing things to my brain I am sure.

thanks for the compliiment anyway.

[cw]

havent done any characters for ages, so im gonna try to do any charcter DSGs for the next few months.

.

Then, there will be more character topics appearing, sir.

[fionkell]

Perspective looks a little crazy on the first ship illustration (or that could be something to do with its hyperspace location heh?) but otherwise nice DSGs, I should get back into those.

The latest bounty hunter there looks great, a bit of a departure from your usual palette and style somewhat? Sweeeeet

[SanXavier]

Unique creature designs! I especially like the top illustration!

[cw]

william b. hand - heh heh thanks, it will help me I am sure. I hit 30 the other day and I have renewed vigour in improving myself over the next 5 years! I wanna get good before it's too late!

iolarnula - yeah its googly perspective (wide-angle) but I would imagine it is accurate-ish as it's a paintover of a 3d block though - super-fast style. thanks for the comments!

sanxavier - cheers!

catchup dump

feeling re-invigorated after 30th birthday. its a new decade for me and it will be a positive one, I am determined! a dsg and doodlebug - palettes spookily similar - oh well. I'll watch for that next time.

[cw]

1/2 hour bedtime doodles

want to do some more landscapey things as well as characters

[roidvoid]

good stuff man!
im seeing a lot of improvement in each consecutive image
keep up the pace
i like the 3d base meshes but try to integrate them with some characters and with the scene better

[cw]

cheers for the comments roidvoid - I shall try my best! Time is a precious commodity at the current juncture but I shall bear your points in mind.

[cw]

dsg


was a fun one that, un-dynamic though, someone said - a fair point.

[cw]

guff

[prepsage]

You've got some great color palettes goin' on. Do you pull them out of references or just lay it down as you feel?

[brentos8]

Oh man, you got some nice shapes there. I love those black shape thumb pages you do, they must help you with those cool looking critters. Later

[cw]

@prepsage - just paint it how I like really, no particular plan for them usually. I need to do more studies from ref though.

@brentos - cheers!

[cw]
