Drawing our hearts out

So looking back over some of wikivic’s old posts, I can’t help but notice that she seems to have a more logical and scientific approach to this challenge than me… Namely getting the perspective right before adding bits of detail and using the shift key to the max. So here’s my attempt at background [...]

Perspective is very off in this…not really sure where I went wrong. Somewhere between layout and detail the perspective always seems to get skewed…

Colour-over of yesterday’s post – I decided to add another colour to this shot in order to differentiate it from shot 1. Going to add back a tiny bit of orange to shot 1 as well in order to balance [...]

Back from my expo hiatus! Had a great weekend, and was surprisingly busy. Didn’t get werewolves done in the end but did manage to sell some issues of totem chronicles and some manga portraits. Ironically the manga portraits had more interest than anything else even though the day before I was in two [...]

This is the 2nd concept paintover for my big giant laser project (you have to enter 2 different shots of the environment, so this is the second shot). Its the evil mastermind’s command area: featuring a snazzy glowing map table [...]

I’m kind of trying to build up a small amount of sample design pieces, for flyers and posters and such … I’m stuck in job applications right now, so I figure showing that I can freelance might help in the meantime. ^^; This has involved making up club nights at an imaginary venue and trying [...]

This was my first concept paintover for a 3D project and it kind of ran away with me a [...]

Today (well, yesterday, as this is scheduled ^^; ) I randomly decided to paint from the same ref as something I did a while ago for DD and see if I’d improved. Check the difference here! –> http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs51/f/2009/296/2/2/Haunted_house_improvement_by_wikivic.jpg
I was actually quite speechless at how much better my sense of colour, painting [...]

Seeing what effect I get from spamming the ‘tap-shift-tap’ control in Photoshop to draw straight lines XD I think I overworked the ceiling on this one, plus the shelves to the right hand side could do with actually having some books on them >.<; But I quite like this painting technique [...]
