BEYOND HUMAN CHALLENGE !

Hi !

I'm joining this challenge a little bit late as I couldn't manage to gather enough time to do this challenge properly. But I got some idea in mind that I wanted to draw, so here are my research. I don't expect to finish the challenge at all, it's really just about being part of this challenge.

So, the pitch this time :

Humanity evolved a lot, mastering robotics/cybernetics. Some of them were looking for a way to be free from the limits imposed by the human body. They decided to get rid of the human body, only keeping brain & spinal cord as theses parts are the main component of the human soul and implant theses on a cybernetic exoskeleton.

Here are the first research on this :

There will be a lot of cable, floating elements, and the character won't be "human" as they don't need the whole body to live anymore. The only remaining parts are for commodity and/or a way to keep an elusive track of their past condition. The "bubble brain" or "brain in aquarium" thing will be the recurent element between all my characters.

Let me know what you think of this project and let me some feedback so I can improve the project !

And good luck to all of you working hard for completing this challenge in time !

This is an illustration created for the Character Design Challenge (a facebook group). The theme of this month was "Carnival of Venice".

I worked on a stiltdancer. It was really hard to find a dynamic pose with theses straight stilt breaking the curve of the figure, but I think I manage to create something interesting.

Let me know what you think about it :)

Hum, with one hour left, and still many character to paint, I can say I'll be way behind the deadline :D

I'll probably try to finish all 10 character anyway, just to end the project I worked on for 2 weeks.  This challenge was a really great opportunity to push me to my limits, having to work on many character in a really short time. I've learned a lot of really cool tricks throughout the challenge, and I've also discover many way to improve my workflow on character design. 

Here's the Wise old man to conclude this challenge for me !

The vizir is done ! After few iteration on clothes/armor, I'll go with this one ! I'm quite happy with the armor render.

I wanted to experiment with Sketchup to get a decent base for a building. So, here’s my attempt working on a small tavern. A classic one though. I wanted to stay on a simple project, so there’s only one room and no floor or basement here.

Here’s a study from a photo (link here) .

It began as a portrait study but... I had to scroll down and keep studying !

[kevinane]

Animals studies.

A Jyn Erso Study

Pffuuu, That was a long time since the last post !

Here’s my latest piece. I’ve been really pleased by Sombra, the new Overwatch character, so here’s an attempt to draw her. As usual, I’ve struggled a lot with hair, but I feel like I’ve really improved throughout the process of this illustration.

I’ll probably try to keep the “portrait” thing for some time as I’ve a lot to learn with the face anatomy.

Some concept for the Artstation Journey Contest ! Now, It’s about time to work on the composition and the final image :)

Few sketches from the BikeShed2016 in Paris !

Here’s the websites of theses constructors :

FCR Original

Down & Out Cafe Racers

Absolut Cycles & Zero Engineering

Le French Atelier

Sur Les Chapeaux De Roues

Daily Spitpaint 2016-4-1. The Fallen Knight. First time I can draw something “acceptable” in just 30 minutes ! Next time, I’ll try to add a background :D

[kevinane]

New exercice !

I’ve took the figures I made few days ago, and I’ve tried to work on one of them to create different characters with the same figure as a base.

I’ve also tried to work faster than usual, and it works ! So, there’s few mistakes (hands and arm length mainly), but at least I didn’t spend 10 hours to fix things that aren’t important for the global comprehension.

Few sketches from recent live model session ! It’s really hard to dispose different poses together and still keep a “natural” feeling :o

23h BD 1/2 !

First time working on a comic ! It’s really fun to compose with boxes :D But I’m really bad at writing stories.

That was a fun contest to do this weekend. Next time, I’ll probably try an easier style, the BnW Values are fun but really time consuming. The theme was Western, and we had to include a huge clock somewhere. But I really wanted to do something with bike >.>

23hBD 2/2 !

Some silhouette doodles for tonight !

I’ll probably keep one of theses guys and see if something cool can be done :)
