I'm forcing myself not to use any ink and lines this time for the conceptual & environmental drawings, I can expand a little further while brushing up on my digital paintings. I am working out the bugs.
This ship was done by using Cs3 and painting it in as a big ugly blotch of green and then refining it into an uglier blotch of black and green. I'm trying my hand at Mechs this way, so the learning curve is steep at the moment.
Hopefully I can get Z-brush by the end of summer, then I can really get into the design of what's playing out in my imagination by creating the 3d molds saving time while not having to go back to figure out the profile or perspective lines for a mock up sheet.
