SF Character Portrait

  • Testing a Microsoft Surface for digital art along with Krita. The latter is proving to be a very capable drawing/painting program. In some aspects equal to - if not better than - Photoshop! MS Surface is good but not as good as a wacom tablet.…

  • I quick illustration depicting a true story (or so I am told) of a tank crew rescuing an australia soldier in the Vietnam war. Rough sketchy styling but required some research and accuracy as vetaran's seeing it would be critical. Painted in…

  • A recent game interface job I completed for an Adelaide based iphone/mobile developer. Final graphics included animation on the handkerchief as the rope moves and animated icons on the menu screen. Graphics are all based on photos then heavily…

  • It's not really directly game related but I thought I'd post it anyway (Let's pretend it's a character study). This is where my recent illustration energies had been going rather than into concept art related topics. Created for a charity Auction…

  • Revisiting the first fleet of ships for Tsumea Team C project. One new design with the other 3 polished/modified small to moderate amounts. Whilst the details are still loose I'm satisfied with the overall designs. fingers crossed the rest of the…

  • More thumbnails for Team C game. These are my first round of ships for the opposing team. More angular and blocky in form with a relatively raw/industrial finish compaired to the other set.

  • More thumbnails. These ones are variations working a single design idea.

  • update of potential artillery/ planet attack ship.

  • A small update on concept art for Team C project.

  • Some initial sketches whilst I warm up for the task of producing some concepts for tsumea's team C project.

Something to fill in the time whilst waiting the the next quick activity. Done in Painter with a very small amount of Photoshop and Illustrator along the way.

Thanks for the feedback Brain. The above image is the updated pic, the link below is to the previous version for interested persons. I think I might do some modifications to her top to make to look less painted on and more see through ...hehe, just kidding ...about the 'less painted on' bit ...or am I?

I really like the detail of the face, though the head seems rather large in comparison to the body. And DANG! They be some perky breasts! @:-D Might want to review their shape, as well as how the shirt hangs. It's very loose around the neck region, but skin tight around the breasts. Not even any loose hanging on the underside of the breasts (perhaps she's showing them off to a guy off screen, hence the cheeky smile and eyes? @;-)

The face definitely seems to have received the most attention, and I think the rest of her could benefit from a rework of lighting, in particular some darker shadows. The centre console (with all the nifty looking buttons and lights) seems to be a little off perspective, and seems to 'stick out' a little more than it might need to.

Love the way you've handled the hair too. You can feel the volume of it. *thumbs up*
