Interceptor's Tablescraps :Feb 28th update

[Interceptor]

Attachment 51283


Going balls out now. Time to start anew. New sketchbook and all.
Working on designing a world as a portfolio, and for just a fun story to make. With myself and a few others from the site. If anyone else wants to participate for fun, just let me know. Or just start making stuff

Anyways. The first part of the story in my head is about a pollen that comes across the Eile desert ruins. That makes those who become infected incredibly violent and resistant to pain. Eventually those effects wear off, however physical harm will come to your body. Rashes and cancers will take you over. The infected have joined together in search for a cure. The scariest enemies are those with nothing to lose.

Romance made the Eklipse logo
Ramona and Kell are the focus of the story in this first part.

[JERI]

Sounds like an cool project.

Damn I feel like playing Resident Evil 4 again now.

wait a minute I don't get it, why wouldn't all of the infected band together and find a cure? some of them are a-holes and don't wanna?

Way cool stuff interceptor, but there is only one thing that bothers me in this one, the highlight on the guys hair: http://www.conceptart.org/forums/att...1&d=1157714977 seems to not be consistent with the highlight color on his clothes. I'm no expert at lighting, but it seems that maybe the highlight in his hair should be a little more off-white than the purple-ish color you put. Very small crit, but other than that you have some great stuff interceptor! and congrats on starting a new sketchbook. I bet it feels good haha.

They Do. Maybe I should write it out a little better, I'm not good with wirds.


Skeiff. I appreciate what you said. It makes complete sense. I'll keep that in mind when I re paint him.

[VoodooPimp]

Isn't that what he said?

Hey loren.. awsome to see u tackle colours.. and nice character stuffs. I am going to point out something though.. I think you need to look into lower legs, ankle a little. I say that coz they seem a little too tense in the joints.. the weights not being carried properly I think.. but i can't give u more details, coz I have that issue too!! so that's why i am making this comment. your upper halrd is much more strong though. hope to see more mate. cheers, Min

[Danomight]

[Beelow]

Before We get down to business on the 16th, I thought I'd spent my free days from work doing something for Eklipse to get myself inspired. Kell , battling some massive creature. WIP.

EDIT - I don't like where this is going...

[hp]

the colors seem a little too "out of the tube" when it comes to the red and green. beautiful renderings though.

i think your story sounds just like the ff spirits within or whatever...or even the latest ff movie kind of...

[Kliment]

very nice

I'm looking at it now on a different computer and you're totally right. It looked alot darker on my home monitor.. It looks terrible here actually.. hahah Thanks for bringing that to my attention, Emily.

[Interceptor]

speedpaints. creatures very soon. also posted at the top of the page.

[Kian]

Dude, I'm happy as hell with what youre doing with your colours. Getting right in there, experimenting, and finding what works. Great stuff. Keep on in that direction and you'll be pro in no time.

[hurricane]

nice stuff !!
good direction with it all !
paints, chars..

keep at it !
cheers

[Jackwhat]

I love your style, like muchos love.

Update more often so i have more things to add to my masterbatorium!



Not got much to crit but i have much to learn... go go!

[silvestri99]

Bam! Great stuff in here. Love to see how you work your speedpaints. It's something I'm about to get started with but I don't know ehere to start. Love the characters in the begining...keep it up!

[poise]

Nice Loren.
these are pretty cool. I like the intensity or your Characters and the action, very nice. I think you can still benefit from really refineing your poses and studieing anatomy more. Your feet in the last Wolf character especially his right foot is off, the ball of the foot is too big, take a picture of yourself doing this, and you will see how it looks. Also his mouth a bit flat, and he has no chin. Again take reference photos, or really look in the mirror a lot to see how things are constructed. You should really do a lot of studies from life and photography. This is how I was taught, maybe other people will dissagree that you don't have to learn like this, but some people have other ways I'm sure. Realize that everyone has their different way of learning, so do what fits you. I say use reference more, and draw from life, but do what way you think will make you progress faster.
Another thing, I can nit pic this character to hell, but I think you still need to learn the basics, right now you have a decent base of knowledge, But I think you can have a much stronger base for your art. My advice is go to a good art school. I think you can progress much faster this way. It is always up to.
Still keep working Loren even if there is no way you can go to artschool, get lots of instructional books, and go to traditional classes. Like Life drawing classes, and painting whatnot, even if they are at you local community college. I think it is great you are going to these MB worshops, you get to know alot about concept art, and the buisness I'm sure, but you need constent practice with the traditional application. All this art has stemed from that, it is the base of everything visual, and you need to get a good base to be a strong artist.

Hey man, hope it isn't too out of place for me to make some Face suggestsions...
