Madeleine Peyroux portrait - failed xDDD

SO I began to make a portrait of the awesome jazz singer Madeleine Peyroux. but I gave up half way xD
the lower part of the picture was left not even half finished, I put most of the time in to drawing her face :]

Katzu and Karma

this took longer than it should have. I half assed the backround ~~




Chili fighting Karma. started doodling on the next page. Not that I have any time to do so >___>

some random yucky speedpaints

Ca scenery drawing

work for school. not super happy about it. it lacks some depth Imo

Your Pathetique Light

inspired by Mono's song with the same name. and Mushi Shi (watch it!)
Jef and I had a discussion on the topic of art (as always) :D
and interior lighting came up. so I think I had that somewhere in the back of my head. and then Your Pathetique Light kicked in and this idea came to me :]

in retrospect I should have put the window a bit further down and to the right I think.

Shodo: the samurai in red

finally he´s finished :0
been working on this for a long time. still some stuff to finish >__>

shool project: character illustrations part 2

Elif Fannar

Age: 46
Occupation: Miner. Reassigned to the excavation after an accident.
Race: Synthetic [80%]

History:
He was formerly a Human, but suffered an accident at the factory he used to work at and had to be altered to save. He would probably not have been saved if not for the fact that his grandfather was a powerful and important politician. He was later employed as a Miner just before the excavation started. His brain is connected to a net terminal computer located on his back. This let´s him connect to The Complex Net Terminal. Where he can receive daily updates on his work progress amongst other things, including reading the news, sending messages etc (not on working hours though). He is of a tall build, common for industrial working Synthetics. With his powerful arms he can lift and carry heavy mining equipment that would otherwise require either a vehicle or a small team to transport and operate. This lets him use the custom made mining laser with ease.
Since he is not a complete Synthetic he doesn't suffer as much discrimination as the 'pure' Synthetics.

Personality:
Elif swears. A lot. And he has mood swings that are most likely the result of the trauma from the accident on top of that he is also a very cynical person, known for speaking his mind.
On the other hand, he does perform his job very well. And firing him would upset his grandfather so he is safe. Though sending him out to the dig site was probably a way for his employee to get him out of the way for awhile.

List of implants:
Retina screen – shows data to the person, on the retina, making it easier to send and receive information.
Synthetic muscle and organ replacement - Enhances performance significantly.
Terminal net connection. He can connect to the Core Terminal Net. Information from there is shown on his retina.

Joseph Becelle

Age: 32

Occupation: Soldier. Currently enlisted in the Special Recon And Assault program.

Race: Human [No records of any extra implants besides civilian and military status implants]

History:

Born on Mars, he moved with his uncle at an early age to The Complex [located in the beta gamma cluster 005]. What happened to his parents is unknown. Most likely they where lost in the riots of the Synthetic Uprising. As a young boy he worked at a coffee shop before enlisting to the army. He enlisted to the special task forces of C-core. After years of service protecting important politicians and upholding law and order at the Complex, his squad was picked to defend the digsite from any potential threat (terrorist attacks or strikes most likely). This was a standard procedure ordered by C-cores AI, Akakios.

Personality:

He´s a quiet man and mostly keeps to himself when he´s not on duty.

He is known to put on a small headband before he puts on his combat armor, it is rumored he does this to be able to focus on the task at hand better, or to 'get in the zone'.

His somewhat sarcastic attitude got him into a lot of trouble when he first joined the army.

Joseph is an excellent team worker and is suitable for the position of team leader. His ability to quickly assess a situation and react accordingly will win him many battles. He also has a very good grasp on military tactics in urban environments.

He is trained with the use of assault rifles, sniper rifles and close quarters fighting. Including melee combat.

List of implants:

reflex modulator – improves speed and efficiency of reflexes.

Retina screen – shows data to the person, on the retina, making it easier to send and receive information.

various lung, muscle and stamina improvements are also in place.

Sniper Town

Soul Eater on Chikusho asked me to draw a sniper ^^
so here it is!

crappy warrior portrait

ergh, I messed up badly. >__<

Chili speedpaint

Ninja Love! <3

this is the ninja called Chili, sheathing his sword (for once)

Icy!

worked on this during 3 days. I´m not really happy with it either.
especially not the big mountain in the center. >__<

oh well.
Peace.

Photoshop hates me

twice in one day -___-

XML-201 laser mining cannon design

final design? we´ll see what the teacher say >_____>

early laser cannon design

the bottom one might be the most relevant version ~~

armor concept

armor.torso.finished. GET!

Speedpaint. Smoke deployment

C-core troops deploying undera a smoke screen.
I´m pretty happy with this one actually :]

new combat armor design. back probably finished (?)

I think the back is done now. I wanted a slim and simple design with some sort of wierd "power plant" thing on the back. did some helmet designs while I was at it too xD

sci-fi combat armor sketch 1

doing some sci-fi armors for school. but it´s too warm to get a good workflow today. So I will try to get at it again later.

peace!

Stones by night speedpainting

I failed to put something interesting in the scenery .__.
drawing a lot of forests and stuff lately. I listen to Midlake too much I think xD
gotta do some props for the Concept Art class this week. I´m almost done with the design for one of them but the other needs more work >__>

peace!

forest creature custom brush job

I tried out some of my custom brushes :]

He lost his way btw ~~

Concept art: Monster fixed

fixed the two biggest errors on this one, also I removed the white fram because it bothered me ~~
still one or two errors, but none as irritating as the ones fixed. oh and I over-worked the 'husks' -__-

Concept art: Monster try-out 1

ba-da-bing! it´s been millions of years since I last drew a monster/alien or even a robot I think ;___;

this is my first go at it in ages. kind like how it came out but first I was all 'oooh no no no' .

Comment bitches :<

Concept art: Joseph Becelle

a speedpaint of the Maincharacter of my school project currently titled The Complex.
going to draw a character sheet of him when I get the time.

the legs are too short and perspective went out the window on this one.

tell me what you think :)

Concept Art Speedpaint

this is a quick sketch featuring (some early versions of) the two maincharacters for my story I´m currently doing for my Concept Art class. Not really happy with the current design on the character to the left.

He´s supposed to be a 'synthetic' human. taller, stronger and more resilent to harsh envoirements they are mostly used as miners or as heavy security.

Speedpaint No1

I reformated my computer this week, reinstalled everything and gave speedpainting a go.
uhm, very uncoordinated so there are ALOT of errors in this one, I forgot to use any resemblence of perspective to mention one thing X___x
but this was mostly to get used to paint in PS. it´s a bit tricky I must admit.

I´ve also done most of the storyboard for my Concept Art Class assignment. so my next speedpainting will probably be scenery from that story :]

Peace bitches! :<
P.s. GTA IV and Beatiful Katamari is love <3

mr.baldy - PS colour tryout [phail]

Tried to follow a tutorial from conceptart.org
but it was really vauge and I think I didn´t manage to get half of it xD
so I just doodled around with ze colours and then called it quits ~~

moar sketches!

sketch-mania! been drawing stuff for almost 4-5 hours straight now Oo

Satisfy - Guitar Vader inspired

I´m not too happy with this one. then again it´s just a quick doodle. I probably spent most of the time drawing those damnable circles on his 'cloak'/robe thing...

Go listen to Guitar Vader, they´re awesome :]

Concept Art classes have started :}

this is just some perspective training :]
ignore the shadows, they where thrown in at last minute and really just messed the whole thing up xD

Peace.

NInja flip flop chili sketches

a couple of sketches for Ninja FLip flop. "The coloured" one to the left is a younger version of Chili ;}

Hare Humour

furry eyebrows bunny/hare is back (made a sketch with him/them/it awhile back.

WIP: Chinaman

my current WIP (2008-05-24)
A warrior from ancient china :D
playing Romance of the three kingdoms and Dynasty warriors too much leaves trails xDDDD

I like this WIP so much I´m even going to colour it and maybe add a backround :0

some sketches made in good ol' Photoshop cs 2

program crash

The above drawings final version would probably be up here if it wasn´t for the fact that open canvas crashed on me when I tried to save it O___o

It had happened once before so I took this picture with my cellphone before I tried to save. xD

character sketch

started out as a sketch of the head, but there was more space to fill xD
this is a sketch of how the main character in my new idea for a comic/manga may look like.
and the scene behind him is from the beginning of the story. I was too tired too actually put in details that would hint at it being a hospital, since it was just a quick sketch.

selfportrait

not too happy with it. plus the hood makes me look like a hunchback xD

fight guy

I have no knowledge on how muscles look >___>
don´t judge me .___.

brown sketches

a couple of sketches that I did in one go.
I messed up the arms on the guy to the left >__<

a random doodle of some guy battling a big beast/machine ~~

Giroro from Keroro Gunso :]

I was just going to do a simple avatar for Naruto forum, and then it got out of hand. xD

I´m pretty happy with it except his head should be a bit more circular
but in the manga their heads aren´t perfect ball shapes actually



Giroro belongs to the dude/dudette who made Keroro Gunso


comments are welcome

selfportrait.
Used a photo from the recording of one of our albums as reference ~~

Proportions are a bit awkward here due the massive fail on the perspective xD
But I still like it :]




guess the eyes are a bit off on this one, but I still think it´s pretty funky <3
