[ThomasM]

wow really great studies and environments. Nothing to crit from me, you are obviously a busy guy. Just keep doing what you're doing!

[Bleo]

I only skimmed through bits of your sketchbook quickly and THAT is one inspiring journey! I love your studies, your sketches especially and it's just so alive and playful and imaginative! maybe I'll drop by sometime to give proper crit.

[Sebastian Gromann]

Hey guys, i finally worte my a-level-exams (only the oral test to go) ! yippi

Aaand because i really really wanna attend the german game-deisgn university in berrrrlin ! that means i'm posting daily again (aslong as there isn't any plan already made; like 6hrs of work on some days and holidays in the beginning of june, etc.) !!

my schedule says, i will be doing life and foundation stuff the first hours and work for the berlin-uni afterwards. this will be tons of fuuuuuunn ! \/



but, at first, here's some 'old' work i did between learning for exams! cu soon



maybe i'm going to give it some finishing soon



sketches





study, from photos and min on the right

[RaphaelLuebke]

damn great updates

[shambok]

Love the strong atmosphere you create in you environment studies. I also dig the character design ... each of then has a strong sense of personality! Nice work!

[Fetsch]

snooooobbyaaaaay cooles muhbild, viel glück mit der mündlichen. Hoffe mit berlin geht alles gut dann können wir rooohocken

[Sebastian Gromann]

xbert thanks, dude

shambok atmosphere and personallity are strong attitudes ! i'm really glad you think so, because i'm even triying to push things further hah

Fetsch ohjjaaa. Wär BOMBE!



ehr, designing for your own project is harder then i thought before D: so much notes need to be taken, so much choices to make ... but i least i know now what i want to go for hehe


[ Short briefing of what i wanna achieve:
Our topic for the 'game design'-uni is ''CRIME SCENE". We are able to choose the place and date by our own, which is awesome.
i actually thought alot about how to make the 'crime scene' without cheesy elements, like; some gangsta got killed in a dark sci-fi-alley. so i needed to look for other types of crime. And after a while i decided to mix up things i like, cause to draw things you like is better anway. what i imagine and got so far: Sci-Fi, a gardenworld like the earth, with different climes but not as peopled as nowadays, a rich financier arranges a big hunting competition, he hires 4 popular mercenarys (Man/Human/Archetype|| Woman/.../Sexy || Robot/ Clever || Bully Humanoid / .../ Rowdy ) to kill big/exotic creatures, the financier gets big shoot-trophies + popularity because of the tv-broadcast, the competition starts from the house/base of the financier which includes little factorys for the guys equipment ( weaopns, vehicels, etc)
- finally the deal is that the creatures they are hunting are named on the red-list, which still is a crime - the player of the imaginative game should be the human man ( who need to be leveled to gain strength to kill bigger creatures [ jep 'monster hunter' haha -caught me] ) but is also able to hire the other mercenarys himself to catch a particular creature.
that way i sould be able to design different races, costumes, props, the base, creatues and most important... environments ]



so, today.

mirror hands






more foundation: proportions




a stillife, 2 hrs i guess




thumbs for the 'clever-robot-hunter' who will set traps



i chose number 7 so far

[Sebastian Gromann]

Velocity Kendall thanks for pointing that out, man, and esp. for your continuous support



wasn't able to draw yesterday, because of family-meet'n'greet D: was fun though


time to choose ...


and the robotaaa ( need to change the shrimp-arm - way too lame haha ) and his color-thumbs

[.empyrean.]

Man man man. Könnte ich solche Characters und Robotdesigns einfach hinwerfen würde ich mir keine Gedanken um meine Bewerbung machen, seufz...
Bin gespannt aufs Endergebnis, sieht schon vielversprechend aus!

[Philipp Scherer]

@empyrean: ja scheiße wieviele wollen sich denn noch bewerben.


@snobby, your updates allways kick my ass

if i had to choose i´d take nr.5, since i like the mobility in the design besides the big plates. and yep, the shrimp arm is lame but funny

coole sache freu mich auf mehr

[Fetsch]

smooooth snobby, 5 stars all day from me!

[Choob]

Great stuff man, really strong pencils and painting skills. Keep it up!

[SamC]

[Sebastian Gromann]

Fetsch the same for you bro !

Droid great to hear ! awesome, thanks

SamC i'm just doing this because i'm scared of youuuhu \o_o/ srly, mate !

yay, will start rendering tomorrow




tried alot of interiour speedpaints today and the only one i think i can post is this image, .. what a shame D: it's very hard to keep them speedy AND readable.... anyhow one thing i've learnt today !



and maybe this, argh, a better update following in 24hours

[Sebastian Gromann]

a painting (matts influence is kinda obvious )

[VirgL]

time to attack the creatures-zone with some scibbles




and a wip of the financier, maybe an old, wise, discarded hunter/mercenary

[Ricardo Robles]

Hey dude the last updates are mind blowing, the last two environment studies in post#1039 are specially great, i wish i have your color blend skills. This girl in post #1042 is good too, i see some rendering evolution in her.
keep sharing!

[Sebastian Gromann]

Ricardo Robles hehe thanks a ton sir ! i hope you keep sharing too, cause your last two landscapes are looking great!




here's the cover for my project, without the header though. loads of textures were wraped and created. damn clouds D:




anatomy of the bully dude




one of his attackboards, hopefully there's enough time for more of these, aaalot of fun haha




and one of my moodboards, very messy, still figuring out how to keep it simple and interesting

[Lyno]

Liking it all man, another skill boost for you !! Good luck with the exams. It would be cool if you would find some time after the exams to record a environment speed paint !
