SF Character Portrait

  • 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…

  • 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.

  • 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…

  • 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 :)

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

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

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

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*
