Sleep Gooniteee!!

Hey! I got some time to work on this piece over the weekend. Still allot of work left.
I added a bit of mood to show you where I`m heading with it. This is a personal piece so I will take my time and not rush this one.

I working with layers on this on. One is for the foreground elements and one for the rest of the background, Smoke and lights/ is also on separate layers grouped as a mood. At this stage I still keep the painting open for new design idea and color changes. If you have any question please feel free to ask. Hope you enjoy!

WIP

2010-09-16T12:37:00.000-07:00

Hey!

Alright here is a WIP. What I did here was painting myself a basic colour palette to start from, with a layer under my line work. The colour palette is not final tho , will be more worked out during the painting process. When basic coloring is done I then lower the opacity on my line work so it blends in with the colored layer. Added a scratched metal plate texture set to softlight to get a little bit of texture and to break colors slightly. Then I merge all layers. ...and keep a copy of the linework separate.

Then its all about painting define shapes, check references for material study, back to painting and thinking.
I did some quick rendering on front of the machine to show a bit how it could look like. I did much of the design job with the line drawing so I guess many of you will know how the process will go on. painting painting rendering rendering.

I will keep you updated!

2010-09-01T14:38:00.000-07:00

I have noticed my absence, work is taking most of my creative time and I have been really hard on myself lately artwise. But things is starting to let go while the journey continues. Not sure what that meens, anyways.

Something I played around with a week ago, but forgot about it. Fun!!! might do some more creatures in action.

Another rough one

2010-06-24T02:42:00.000-07:00

I finished this one pretty quick honestly to fill up my portfolio for the Made event. Could have work so much more on it, but the good response I got for it at the event made me decide to let this one go. I did get some very good crits about it, but i decided to absorb the crit and think about it for my future work. Sometimes you just gotta let go and move on to the next one. Hope you like

latest Concept art.... *added the first bloobs

2010-05-28T03:21:00.000-07:00

Yooo! Here is some new concepts i have been workign on, on and off again!!! work is taking all the time so during lunch breaks and afterwork. Miss the all the free time I used to have and work on personal stuff and projects. Anyways! For these concepts or was trying to keep it pretty loose but still some how rendered. I intentionally worked pretty much zoomed out with both of them. I had fun with both of them and was also my intentions to have, aswell as playing with colours. And I also worked with 1 layer or 2 maximum 3 but all was merged as soon I was happy with what I did. I prefer working on one layer, why? to lazy moving my hand to the layer window and click on the right layer to work on. Also the pixels behave differently for some reason and it fits my way of working as I just wanna go in with the paint and put it there on the canvas without any other step before that. But sometimes I must have layers especially when I am doing concepts at work.

BLAH BLAH BLAH!!! you talk to much! Hope yoo enjoy the concepts and more is def coming.

First Portrait Painting ever

2009-08-28T01:55:00.000-07:00

Its been awhile since i posted something for sure been very busy at work and also had a nice vacation in Sicily. but now i think i am back being productive, I hope! anyways
This is my first portrait painting I have ever done and and of course its a portrait of my girlfriend, my gift to her. She have been waiting for this for very long time and I have finally done it. Its very different from what I usually do, I must say its been a struggle and fun at the same time. Most importantly she is very happy with it, myself as well with the result.
I worked on it on and off couple of month and I have change it so many times, paint and repainted it. I hope you like comments and crits are highly welcomed.

This speed paint took a little bit longer then my other ones, it took approx 2 h.
I am trying to keep my speed paintings under 30 min but sometimes it gets slightly complexed with the perspective. My opinion the perspective doesn't have to be perfect on a speed painting but it should still look right and not be too obvious.

2009-02-18T23:06:00.000-08:00

a very quick one, no motivation yesterday to much work at the office.
But still I felt I needed to just do one at least.
