Visual development for Tarzan (1999) by John Watkiss

John Watkiss is just phenomenal. A self reminder to study every EVERY of his pieces.

Feel like there was room for improvement, so I reworked on this piece.

I'll keep the old version on my blog for study references/notes.

Hi everyone, thank you for the warm welcome :) I'm just an old Zelda fan and entertainment industry storyboard artist, looking to try something new: Zelda Fanart, and skillsharing demos directed at up-in-coming artists.

For those interested, Here's a timelapse-gif of my coloring approach for Young Link v Ghini: Rough thumnbnail sketch to make sure reads well at a distance, and then inks and color flats, and then i drop the output levels to darken it within an inch of its life. Then I start adding color and lighting, starting with the dimmest light sources, then building up to the dominant and then bounced light. Then materiality effects, then particles and atmospherics, then finishing details, and then finally some fine tuning in photoshop to get the exposure looking nice.

I'm really excited by all the amazing Zelda art and fiction i'm seeing on Tumblr, its like the zelda promised land here, haha

I'm continuing to work on pieces but the holidays will have me super busy with family stuff and work obligations, so my next post might be a while. I stream-draw these on twitch (@maxfwd) usually super early or late at night so that might be best place to check in until then.

Thanks and let me know if you have any questions!

There is just something captivating with this art style. It reminds of me the early concept arts of Zelda, which we now don't see. I can't stop myself scrolling and checking this artist's works. Worth reblogging on my main blog.
