Done in the same way as the previous post... more coming soon

something different

This is a quick 20 min flyer design done as a free commission for a friend, who is  starting a club night at 'The Flying Duck'.. Some evidence that i can use photoshop for things other than digital painting

re-think of the helmet design, additional changes to clothing and attire notably the collar, which i have decided to opt for a less oppressive look.

More characters and illustrations from this project coming soon !!

definitely learned a lot from doing this piece,..

Somni-451 Stage 2

Here is stage two in the final design for character Somni 45-1 ... as you can see i have blocked in all the colours except for those in the belt and collar, and have developed the skin tones to a near final stage. From here i will tidy up the helmet, jacket, dress and shoes and overlay some textures.

The beholding eye

[ Click to Enlarge]

Quick study of an eye, painted entirely in photoshop with my graphics tablet.

Been teaching myself alot of techniques, so i thought i'd give this a try.

It was originally a more realistic skin colour, but after experimenting with a few adjustment filters I decided this colour gave a slightly eerie feel.

References - a mirror and an eye picture from google.

and some of my own custom texture brushes used aswell

Soldier Character Concept: Tonal Speed Sketch

This quick half hour sketch lays out the values i will use for the finished piece. As hes in a desert environment, the background and sky is obviously very bright, and he ofcourse will draw contrast against that. The purpose of this is just to put some of the thoughts and images in my head down on screen to make the process a little easier, as this will be the first project ive attempted with the pen tablet/digital software.

The tonal values in this piece will hopefully help convey a sombre mood, which will match the story behind this character.

Keep eyes pealed for more sketches/the final piece !!
