Destruction Continued

Just wanted to post the rest of the WIPs for that environment in between my finals work.

Once I started to define the upper city, I started liking the painting less and less even though I was really into the sky. I decided eventually to just cut it out and focus on the destructed buildings and wall off the top side city.

Boo, sickness!

Got a cold during finals - figures! Unfortunatly I've had to lay around doing nothing since Monday to attempt recovering. I guess it's worked since my fever is essentially gone by now, so now it's hard at work again to finish everything up for the final week of the semester! Here are some more WIPs until I have more time to free sketch again:

First one's the sketch I decided to work on for the cityscape matte, and the second's laying down some basic colors and getting some details going in the rocks.

Photoshop for both.

So..

I think I mentioned finals lurking around a week or so ago...that's why I haven't been posting so much. I did recently make a matte painting for a class, so I'll post some process shots of that for sure.

Top is my refined value for the random dragonlette I was working on a couple weekends ago - you'll have one more update of him before finals are over, then hopefully I can actually finish the painting! Below that are some of my environment sketches for the class in which I'm painting all my mattes...which strangely enough is Advanced Character Development...

Both are in Photoshop

Tree!

Just wanted to update quick before heading to bed - today was tabletop night, so I was away from the internet for most of the day, however I did get some good sketches done of the character that I played in our World of Darkness one shot! I'll be sure to post those in the near future.

This was a 30min speed painting that I did about four months ago to demonstrate my speed painting process to one of my friends. Painted in Photoshop

Finals are coming.. o_o

Finals, they are approaching. Unfortuanately for me, I took two huge project classes, so although the end of the semester is still around three weeks away, I've already got a mountain to start chipping down. Luckily, one of my finals has a lot to do with painting, so I'll be able to post sketches and WIPs for those, however my other one is a level in Unity, so I might not be posting so much of that. Either way, here's a backlog sketch!

I posted the initial idea sketches for the steampunk spartan airship a few entries back, and this was the general shape that made the most sense. During these sketches I was playing around with the functionality of the craft. Drawn in Sketchbook Pro.

Dragonlette

Last week was quite a busy one, but such a great one at the same time. One of my best friends came to visit from San Fransisco and we had a blast! Strangely enough, we spent a lot of our time together drawing, so here's the initial sketch of a painting I worked on over the weekend:


Done in Photoshop. It started strangely compared to how I usually work, because instead of just sketching or just blocking, I worked for in the style of silhouetting, then sketching what I saw in the silhouette.
