Sci-Fi Painting / Character Portrait

  • general image update

    I don't seem to keep my journal very up-to-date with what I am producing. So it's high time to do a bit of an update... and here it is!

    some sketchbook environments in pen, a second GTA style illustration just to prove the first wasn't a…

  • GTA Art

    This piece has been created to display (and practice) alternate styles / techniques.. In the style of Rockstars game - Grand Theft Auto. Created using Photoshop and Freehand.

  • character portrait

    whilst waiting for the next quick 2d activity I though I would 'doodle' a face in a few spare hours. Things got a little out of hand and a more or less finished painting have been the result.

    Created in Painter with a little Photohshop and…

  • character painting - revisited

    Seems a while since I've posted any 2d work! This little painting is a revisited character concept that I originally did as a model sheet excercise (it's was posted here some time back).

    Created in Photoshop :)

  • aircraft concept

    A revisited personal project. The original project was a set of different air/space craft finished to a pen and marker stage.

    This piece was created entirely in photoshop.

  • ocncepts for Sumea Mod project

    finally managed to get some thing done to post to the mod concept art thread!

  • Model Sheet

    Refining the processes of creating a character concept and model sheet. all tone and colour added in Photoshop. Initial drawing were pencil on paper.

  • character/avatar painting

    I have finally invested in a tablet :) and this as the first more-or-less finished painting. Created with 'Corel Painter Essentials' and some minor photoshop work too.

  • SpaceRacer - Concept Art

    Finally recharged the markers and got around to doing some sketching again! These images are sketched by hand and coloured in P'shop.

  • quick activityAvatar/portrait

    Well... this is my final painting for the current 'quick activity'. Painted in Photoshop. see thread for more details on process etc.

Work in progress

My latest digital painting, I'm not sure if this piece is actually finished or not. I have spent several evenings on minor changes and feel like forward progress has ceased.

painted in PS7.

really nice mate.

I realy like the background. and the metals.

I think somthing structuraly about the face bugs me a bit. Not to sure. I think if the helmet was covering his ear, the ear would be far too back on the head. Assuming he has ears :)

thanks for the comments :)
I spent another hour or so tinkering and I think that i will call it done now. For those that say "hey! he posted the same image again!" the one below has lighter forground features (to pull it off the background a bit more), warmer colour in the characters face and clothing highlights, a little texture etc added and a minor helmet adjustmet (thanks denz).
