Stuff by me - update 22.11.08 photo studies

**ATAnderson** · February 10th, 2007, 02:11 AM

I'm new to the site, so I figured I would post some older stuff with some more recent just to show some history. Posts from now on will be as I do things, nothing old.

Hope you enjoy and please feel free to speak your mind.

Adam.

Nice work with everything~ I think you have some pretty awesome stuff posted so far, can't wait to see more.

**ATAnderson** · February 10th, 2007, 09:17 PM

Hey Zoroko, thanks for looking, will return the favour and post more.

Sunday speedpaints.

**Zoroko** · February 12th, 2007, 03:53 AM

Wow~ Nice background studies~! I like the choppy colors you put in them as well. also I like the amount of depth~

How long does it take you to do stuff like that and what is your prefered medium?

**AbstractPagan** · February 25th, 2007, 01:15 AM

WOW these are friggin' awesome maan! I just wanting comment on this since it is sooo cool. I cant paint my way into a paper bag, but I got decent pencils and markers (blehh) but I bought a Wacom tablet so that may change to digi-color soon enough. I would love to get a comic book going with your color schemes! I have been trying to find someone good like you to jump in on a short one for a while. ANyway cool stuff!

**ATAnderson** · February 26th, 2007, 03:34 AM

@Zoroko - thanks for your comments and feedback - It takes me anywhere between 15min and 3 hrs to produce these type of things just depends how good a day you are having. - I really like the speed and evolution of digital painting but I believe you should have strong freehand & lineart skills also as these are what most artwork is built on. I cannot paint traditional mediums.

@Abstractpagan - Thanks man, appreciate your comments and time. See what I said to Zoroko about freehand skills - once you have them tight you can use digital to enhance what you already have to create your own digital style. - Also thanks again for the info on my signature.

Here is some leftovers from this weeks CHOW and an environment I started but don't know whether I should finish it. Figured I would get vibed if I asked that in the Critque Centre so I post it here. Keen to hear thoughts.

Thanks again.

Adam

**ATAnderson** · March 10th, 2007, 04:44 AM

@Andronicus2814 - Hey thanks man, mabye I will get round to finishing it now.

Here is a little design I am working on and my first working sketch of this weeks cow.

**ATAnderson** · March 18th, 2007, 05:48 AM

Just a little cheeky one i'm afraid. Trying to work hard on light and how it effects colour & material, I quite often just end up with a photoshoped looking image,

Adam.

**chaosrocks** · March 18th, 2007, 08:23 AM

**armando** · March 19th, 2007, 09:29 PM

I just saw you're water fall city in the EOW. You've got a quite crispy style going on with the environments. Everything is good but it's the environments that really pop. It's all so busy, and abstract, like a lucid dream.

**hardsoapscum** · March 19th, 2007, 10:43 PM

love everything. esp. #5 on your first post. i am surprised you have not gotten more comments. really strong stuff man, and please post some more!

**Trashy** · March 24th, 2007, 02:29 PM

Hey man,

Saw your piece in the eow and was like...wow...and woah. There is some real cool stuff happening in here. Alot of neat sketches and designs. Your enviroments are looking pretty sweet. About the last piece thats bothering you...just maybe think about pushing your shadows more. I'm honestly new to doing the whole enviroment thing so I don't know if maybe that will help you or not. Sometimes slapping down a texture might help too or experiment with. Check out this place called Mayangs textures- http://mayang.com/textures/

Just keep working on it. Keep up the great work!

**robmorfin** · March 24th, 2007, 02:52 PM

Hi ATAnderson,

Thanks for stopping by at my sketchbook and for your nice words, help & advice, hopefully one day I can create stuff as awesome as yours.

Man, it's really awesome, great concepts, great painting, great color schemes, a lot of detail & I can't believe how fast you can create them, , it's amazing what you can do.

I really dig the way you paint, where did you learn?, did you say you don't use traditional media?, do you make your sketches directly in the computer?

Please post your Waterfall City from EOW#49 here, everybody should see it!, it's great.

**Beelow** · March 24th, 2007, 07:19 PM

Hot stuff ATAnderson! Your designs are really nice dude. Nice sketchbook. I am hip to what you are doing with your works!XD

**Ryan DeMita** · March 25th, 2007, 02:55 PM

nice book so far man, i love the design work. keep doing what your doing. one thing i noticed is maybe try to tighten up your edge quality in some of the digital paints. otherwise its all looking great!

keep posting!

The multi-tiered waterfall is great. Good idea and nicely finished.

**Konstruktion** · April 9th, 2007, 05:14 PM

Mmm sweet robots and envos man! I myself find it really hard to do them kinda things but it looks so easy for you! Keep it up.

**Ryan DeMita** · April 12th, 2007, 07:48 PM

hey bro, nice update. hit me with some more! also i would consider sharpening some of your edges up. it would also be nice to see some smaller scale studies, like taking one or two space ships and really focusing on rendering and detailing them out. smaller studies are always good ways to help boost you techincal abilities. great stuff so far bro, keep rocking.

take care
ryan

**reaxion** · April 12th, 2007, 10:00 PM
