M6 project start.


Another game idea hit me in 2008 ( out of the air when bored.) .  I guess I would describe it as a mash up of GTA4,  Wing Commander,  with Armored Core all thrown in the pot for good measure. I received a mess of notes and sketches scrawled out on the back of an old bill and now I'm transferring the story and paintings into Photoshop & In-Design.

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.

1st Landscape in CS3


Well, the color got washed out in the change over to a JPEG. Hmm, well I'll just have to fix it later. So enjoy the pee yellow fortress of doom.  :)

We seem to be having a technical malfunction

Okay it's all back. Whew!

Playing around with color and some filters on Cs3. Not much time lately, especially with any new art. Probably have to update everything from AVT to Gorgon in April.
