Finconauts: Collective Sketchbook!

[Rotor]

Greetings!

The idea behind this sketchbook is to chronicle the collective endeavours of Finnish aspiring digital artists.
What we hope to achieve with this is to inspire each other to push our work to the limit and beyond, as well as have a shared space to post our work and share any ideas or knowledge based on our experiences as growing artists. Alongside sharing our personal artworks, we would like to preserve this sketchbook for forthcoming collaborations aswell as being a newsfeed for future Livestreams.
Critique is both welcome and encouraged.

As it stands we are FIVE in number:

~KJK~
Vablo
Rotor
Keppo
Juhani

The list will change in time.
Let the games begin!

[~KJK~]

Ill have the honor of kicking off this sketchbook, with this sketch, may art be ever in our favor!

[Rotor]

Prepare for battle!
All are works in progress.

[Keppo]

Greetings!
As it is, i may be the least talented finconaut present, but one day i'm gonna rule them all

[Vablo]

Hey all!

It's Vablo here and this is something I'm working on currently, work in progress still
Thanks for looking, let's make this a good thread guys!

[~KJK~]

Looking good fellow finconauts! something new for ChoW



and more progress

[Rotor]

Allright my lovely boys!
Here's an update for that Alien piece. And so as to not make this post so dull I'll show what I'm doing in Uni at the moment, bits and bobs for animation.

[Vablo]

You sexy dudes, I need to join this party.

Here's a character design and the process steps I did for a game that we are working on with a couple of friends, gotta love fantasy, gotta love 'em goblins.
Nasty little fellows.

[Keppo]

dun dun dun.. some night sketching

[Rotor]

Allright!
Keppo, you're laying down good values, the characters look really solid. I'd like to see a stronger, more thought out structure in them though. How does the silhouette look?
Here's some crap for the mill.

[Vablo]

The portrait is awesome Rotor, love the colors! Also Keppo, good job with the value characters, simplification is a great tool for learning.

Couple of fun fast experiments, need to start doing more of these.

[Rotor]

Thanks man!

Fart.

[Juhani Jokinen]

Wow boys! You are kicking some serious ass here.

I'll be mostly lowering the average artwork quality of this thread with my WIPS but I'll quickly introduce myself first. My name is Juhani Jokinen, I'm 25 years old and live in Helsinki. For the past 5 years I worked at Frozenbyte and was responsible for the concept design and promo materials for Trine and Trine 2. Currently I'm employed by RedLynx which is owned by Ubisoft.

Enough chitchat, Here's a piece that I recently finished and a WIP I'm currently working on

[Rotor]

Welcome aboard Juhani! Stunning work.

Here's that crappy animation I talked about!


I will now proceed to take an artdump.
Bloodsports 14 and all kinds of crap!

Sick! Nice book boys.
