Sketch/Roughs/Randoms

I've finished designing Felicitys website and created all the graphics to go with it. It's been built now and awaiting content, so it's actually going to be launching sometime within the next week or so. I'll be sure to shout loud when it does. You'll be sick of hearing about it.

Fingers aren't much in the mood to type- figured I'd update the blog though. Here's some random rough stuff from over the past month and abit.

I'm still a concept artist for the Perfect Dark Source mod, which incase anyone was wondering- is going to be back online very soon. They used alot of my old artwork on the site and I can't stand the sight of it now so I did a new piece. I drew the pose from photoreference and just painted it up in Photoshop(works best on a white background.)


'Fake' Felicity still, I just badly painted over an existing photo for abit of fun. Results quite nice-


Very rough sketch of Magpie-

Rough thumbnail for a possible Mirrors Edge fan-art I'm thinking of doing. I added basic color to help me define my composition and ideas-


I've got alot of Felicity guff still to do and I'm quite inspired tonight to do some superhero stuff- so expect some doodles.

Oh and Happy new year :D

A few days ago, did abit of a doodle-trade with my partner in lines(geddit?) T-Deines.
She asked me to switch the 'careers' of my Superhero; Magpie and my Race ace; 99.
It's all very silly but it was a really interesting way for me to really see the differences in the characters, if only for their visual design.


Long scarf is long.

I just got to share this.

A random google-image search pulled up a W.I.P shot from this guy. I had a further juke into his files and then eventually visited his main website. He works for Bioware now, which is one of the games companies I respect the most. His work? Incredible.

3D has always been magic to me, especially digital 3D. This stuff is just jaw dropping.

Check it out.

Pencils

I seem to have built the majority of my methods around covering up the fact that I have incredibly messy pencil work. Over the past while I've tried to tighten my pencils to define my lines more clearly, it makes the artwork harder to produce but I'd rather be able to have the option to be able to clean up my lines if needs be.
It's really hard for me because naturally I still sketch with 100 lines where there should be one, it's just the way I've always worked. I'll always maintain that method of production but I figure it's not good for me to never attempt to learn how to control that a bit more.


When it comes to the cell stage or color stage I know which lines to pick out because it's my own artwork. If I was to ever be in a situation where someone else had to carry the artwork to the next stage, I can't leave a confusing mess for them to decipher.

I'm very slowly approaching a clean pencil line with some of my artwork, I've noticed I spend alot more time defining that stage than I used to.

As a result it makes all my methods alot faster.

Boo.

Boo!
EDIT: I've no idea why this image is breaking the borders. It's annoying me : (
EDIT: Hooray, I've somehow fixed it.
