Face Study

It's been a while since my last post, mostly due to my semi-recent employment

at Gas Powered Games. Finally got the concept art job I've always wanted!

I've been doing small pieces and studies here and there

when I have time, so I thought I'd throw something up. Here is a face

study I did based on some of the characters in Inglorious Bastards. I feel

like faces are a real weak point of mine, so this was a bit difficult but

ultimately very rewarding. On average I'd say each face took me about 40 minutes. Ish.

Rag-Tag Band of Robots (and girl)

Here's a bunch of rough characters I created! I'd call this stage...
Silhouette plus. Still rough and undefined, but with some
fun details. Over all, this took me.... 3 hours.

Forest Guardian

Finished at last! My hand hurts. Gotta learn to hold that stylus
a little looser. Probably about... 14 - 16 hours when it was all
said and done. Now time to go home and eat!

Hey all! This is a WIP of a character I have been working on in
my spare time. The only work I've had recently was
environment pieces, so I thought I'd buff up my portfolio with
more characters. I forgot how much I enjoyed them! This is probably
about 7 or 8 hours in, I'd guess.

Guns! That's right, guns!

This is something entirely new for me. I learned a lot
in the process, and feel like I achieved a measure of success.
Each one of these designs was probably about 3 hours in Photoshop,
with a little more time here or there depending on the complexity
of the weapon. Hope you enjoy!

The Man in the Water

On to environments! Here is a piece I did for ART301. Total time
was about 7 hours... lots of fun.

Entrenched Assassin

Here is yet another assignment from Art301.
With this one, I started in gray scale, and stayed there
for quite a while. I got most of the colors by painting into
a soft light layer, and then I went in standard for additional
colors and details. Over all, probably about 10-12 hours
of work. Hope you like!

The Fire Warden (color!)

Presto! Here I was able to get a pretty decent
effect with color and soft light overlays. I use to use
this method a lot, but this is one of the first times that it
was this effective. I feel like I have mad a Photoshop
breakthrough!
