Team Chow III: vlk

[faelic]

this is team vlk's sketchbook thread for Team Chow 3!

team vlk consists of EnnuiVee and faelic

should be fun, hopefully EnnuiVee'll pop up here sooner or later and maybe up date this with some clever info and/or links to our work and whatnot.

in the meantime, sorry for the quick intro post!

EDIT: Added finished 'team logo' <created via passing back and forth a sheet from sketchbook, then scanning and passing psd around a little>

[EnnuiVee]

Sketches!

Males and Female versions of each-- except the Queen of course.

Crappy, crappy photographs that were touched up in photoshop to enhance the lines-- No apparent access to scanners yet, annoyingly. Will have access soon, once I figure what the fuck is up with the key-access.


Order of the sketches goes:

Heirophant
Knight Female
Knight Male
Magician Female
Magician Male
Queen of Wands

[faelic]

we should definitely have enough to work with here.

check your email - sent some info/files and also tried to send a psd via yousendit.

[EnnuiVee]

More sketches, got access to the scanner again. so all is well. leaving the other ones, better scans arent necessary for those.

Queen of Wands
followed by Knight of Swords.

EnnuiVee: Oh man, I love that face that's the second down, it's gorgeous! For the last one, and what I noticed for a lot of your sketches are that your heads are a bit large for the proportion of your character's bodies, especially in your last sketch with the lady on the tiger. I'm looking forward to see the cards when they're done!

[faelic]

color palettes inc!
test for size relation, don't want these huge. will edit later to up the other three. (resized to 72dpi once done coloring, so size is reasonable for this)

Knight of Swords:


I. The Magician:


The Queen of Wands:


V. The Hierophant:

[Janos]

I would love to see you guys going with a very eccentric colour, like the green skin for instance. Lovely comical concepts. I like the simplicity!

[faelic]

'finished' linework for the magician and knight of swords, respectively.





emailing fancy scans via yousendit - let me know if you've any issues please.

[EnnuiVee]

More color palettes.

getting started on the rough draft versions of the lineart.

Hierophant:

Knight of Swords:

The Magician:

Queen of Wands:

[faelic]

ha, most of the color palettes are a tad off from being the same, so seems like we're on the same page there at least; that should be decided quickly enough hopefully.

quick question - why the full color shade filling the queen's background? the sections behind her that i colored is where i thought the throne's extent was, am i way off and the whole thing is?

put low res's of your lw here when you've got em, as well as sending me the workable ones for next step please!

[EnnuiVee]

Here's the lineart for the Hierophant and the Queen of Wands.

the scans are mailed to you. I have them as four seperate files. I know you wanted backgrounds to be done seperately, but I didnt know if you wanted them to be on a different layer in the psd.

Send me your linework so I can do the linewarmth. =P

I got this pretty good pamphlet on Concept Design Academy, and I've heard good things about them. I'll scan it soon and send it your way, in case you're interested.

Queen of Wands:

[EnnuiVee]

Never mind. I got the linework. Just a lapse in eyesight, I guess. Sorry about that.

That was just put in there to differentiate between the far background, and her seat. I figured we were also doing a type of background shade like in your octopus example thing, so that was sort of part of the color scheme for it.

I was going to do it with all them. She was the first, and I got lazy. Ha. =)

[faelic]

i've got your files; replied in email. i think we might be ok to just keep the lineworks as both sets are and go onto next step. if so i can start tomorrow.

the way you sent them is fine, but those elements shouldn't count as 'background' elements the way i mean it. it should be clear once i finish the next step though.

do you want to keep the meeting wens or move it to tomorrow? same time either day is fine by me.

[faelic]

First color pass, and placement.

hierophant:
