Bloody Mary [Convergence]

Character portrait for my personal project. Hopefully more to come soon.



Alchemy concepts

If you didn't try Alchemy, you definitely should. Although it's a tiny programme compared to Photoshop, it's a tool that proves to be very useful at times. For me, the greatest advantage of it is the mirroring mode, that allows to create designs really fast. Sometimes you may have your idea outlined in less than a minute and creating new iterations or versions of it is simple and extremely quick. At least for me, but hopefully for others as well.

Here are some doodles I've mede. In the upper one there are few quick ideas for a character and one really quick raw render created in photoshop. Legs in sketches are a little bit too short because I don't know how to resize image in Alchemy or expand it (as far as I know it is not possible, if you know how, please let me know), so I had to either cut them or make them shorter than they should be. Anyway, I made a correction in the ps render.

The letter are some more Alchemy doodles of mine. I've created a lot of them, but I suppose it's not worthy of posting them all here.




Environments

Here are some world designs/enviranment concepts I've been working on recently. I've spent about 2-4 hours on each.

WIP Teasers

I haven't been here for quite a long time, but things are about to change. I'm preparing a big update. As for now I'll leave you with some WIP "teasers" of a project I'm currently working on. I hope you'll like it.

Tex Mech - Sheriff Junk

Here is an ilustration I created for Crimson Daggers Bloodsports 9 challange - "Tex Mechs". My idea was to build a steampunk-like robot from some rusty, metal junk pieces. I asked Bjorn Hurri for crit and he said, it's a bit hard to understand how those pieces on the arm and stomach work. I guess I made it a little bit too random. I'll think about functionality more next time.

Environment speedpainting

A piece I created today. Took me 40 minutes. I'm still a little confused by all these custom brushes in photoshop. Till recently I painted only in gimp using basic round  (mainly soft) brush like 95% of the time. I downloaded 30 day photoshop CS3 trial and some custom brushes of known artists. Now I test them and sweep out those I'm not comfortable with to keep it as basic as I can.
