The break up.

cgtalk dailysketch.

Falling star continuation story

Elmo3d from cgtalk started really cool continuation story from his and mine Falling star sketch. Really cool idea. Here i made little more of this story :)
First picture is from Elmo and second is from me.
(edit: Elmo made third continuation with the story! Really nice comic imho hehe!)

End of the road

20minutes & cgtalk sketch.

Falling star

I tried animation today!

Family Legacy: The moonshine factory!

hehe todays dailysketch topic. Only thing I could think of was moonshine factory... :D

3d pirate again!

here is currently how my pirate character modeling is getting along. I made a skeleton rig for him.. currently I have to still adjust some of the vertex groups to make everything work more perfectly.

But here is falling down (I came up this totally accidently) and running pose.

A girl called sunshine

Fast sketch again, I had pretty much no idea what to sketch / paint.

Duke of lies

Todays dailysketch. I wanted to make something more naive style, and also make it fast..

Continuing my pirate model with Blender 2.6

I finally got into stage where I am doing texture for my pirate. Here is current render. Still very unfinished stage. I have to say that these 3d-modelling applications have went so much further in these years. This Blenders texture paint is just awsome!

3d modeling: Low Poly Pirate carricature

Today I started character practice of my own. I thought low poly character caricature would be easy enought to do.

Here is my fast sketch & blueprint and my first render. I am having some problems with Blender. in viewport my models are ok (all quads) but in render it makes crazy triangles. Well Im going to find an answer to this problem...

edit: Ok, problem solved! the verticies make the plane little bit twisted so it is normal to have this kind of result with low poly modeling. Edge split modifier fixed this problem!

day after saint patricks day!

I tried to keep in the 40 minutes time limit. It seems I have problem adding stuff even if I dont have time for it. I had story in my mind and I wanted to finish that in the painting. Maybe I made just more mess. Here is the result. Maybe I keep finishing this because I kind of like the "gnome".

Life in the fast lane!

Cgtalk sketch again: This time I wanted to be fast, so around 20minutes.

Food for thought

Todays Cgtalk sketch I made was Food for thought. Usually the first idea is the best, and I had an idea about boy reading fantasy book. So I tried my best to paint it..

Women of the swamp.

Yesterday I was making those fast sketches about people. There was one I had that I wanted to continue. The form reminded me about women skeleton which is on the ground.
So I continued that sketch and this is the result. I think I spend atleast 3h making it!

 

and here is the original sketch.

Human form studying

Making again short croques. Human forms. 60 seconds each. Very good style to learn human proportions and you will get dynamic characters pretty soon! Everytime I make these, I feel that I am improving really fast! Rather than making one study in hour, you make 60 studies!
Should fasten your learning into another level.

Brazilian girl, pixel art vol 3

Today I really got into this pixel art. I like to make it, because I feel its easy for me!
Here is Cgtalks dailysketch Brazilian Girl made in pixel art!

Pixel art vol 2

I tried to make another pixel stuff. Now whole scenery.. took me few hours.. I spend too much on background which in the end wasnt shown much.

I think i went too far of this image and it just looks bad quality normal digital painting rather than pixel art. Well anyway I had fun to do it and learned alot!

Pixel art!

Pixel art today. Concept cookie had this lesson. And actually I like pixel style. Now days its very fashionable to have retro 8-bit style on games and such. I think this style of painting is really easy, its not so accurate as normal painting. So you dont have to have perfect anatomy in example hand, because it wont show anyway.

And also I am painting with portable laptop from last decade, so making pictures with only 100x100 pixels wont use CPU or anything else at all. The painting just flows so fast!

Troll from the hobit movie

todays dailysketch.

Todays resource!

Today I found a link into site, where is a cool feature. Slider showing animals (or humans if you choose to) and it changes the photo every 30seconds. Croque sketching! Should be great style to improve your overall shapes and learning how to get movement into your creatures.
Here is the link for the site http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/animal-drawing/
Here is only few I made now, I am planning to do lot more of these in the future...

3000 topics on dailysketch.

Todays topic was "the 3000" because thats the number there has been dailysketches at Cgtalk.com.
Was really hard to invent something to paint.. first idea was some futuristic painting with really old rusty wacom.. but then thought that it would be stupid because wacoms dont rust! hehe.. and the beginning of this painting didnt satisfy me... other was more or less joke. First post made into to dailysketch forums thousends of years ago..

Wacom Painting

Caveman Painting

Painting eyes practice

I have huge problems with eyes on my paintings. I always mess them up!... I was watching tutorials on cg-cookie`s and they had one part in this creature series that how to make an eyes.
I watched those few videos and then tried paint from reference.

1 and 2 are from cg-cookie`s reference.
3 is a frog eye, 4 a cats eye and 5th is human eye, which of course was the hardest and i am not very happy with it.

Green spot

Dailysketch topic I made today was Green spot. I only could think of a frog... thats atleast green! :P
I wanted to add some story also into it and humor.
Today I am really happy about the result.

I call this, "Mommy! Look what I found from the forest".
 Around 1.5h.

Turbo Meson Cannon, wastland 2

As i am huge fan of Fallout series I accidently found a game project called Wastland 2. They had this old topic where they are asking fans make them assets to the game.

I thought it could be fun to try out to make concept art from this. Because it would feel "real" job.
Here is my concept art of one of Wastland 1`s drone called Turbo Meson Cannon. I tried to mimic little Wastland 2 teams style.

Dark side of the moon.

20minutes. I wanted to be fast and have some humor.

Wicked

Wicked old guy...  1st one after 15minutes and second after 1h.

Two daily sketch today.

Ice storm (maybe more snow storm)
I had again no idea what to paint.. and then I looked out of the window... not ice storm but snow storm.
Not the weather to go out today.. :P
and ofcourse it ended before I finished the painting and now sun is shining!

Sword in the Stone.
