Painted in Photoshop CS5

A mock Twin Peaks poster I collaged in Photoshop. It was going to just be a plan for some further work... actually, it probably still is going to be the foundations for further work buuuuuut... here you go.

ps I'm not dead!

More texta and wine shenanigans!

Lots of wine dribble doodling tonight! Haven't played with my textas for a looooong time. Swear I'm not dead!

Just a character design that I worked on in class today! It's pretty rushed but I think he's a cool dude! The brief was 'Modern Aztec'... so naturally, I drew a man with an Aztec tattoo, covered in the blood of his human sacrifices and invoking the blessing of his gods! Naturally. Bring on the holidays!!

yeah!

Almost forgot how to hold a pencil! It's been awhile!

Really quick 20min speed paint in Photoshop of some weird colourful chickadee... I should probably do these more often...

random sketch i liked enough to add colour to :)

This dude is the product of mucking around in Mudbox this arvo! I think he is going to be a little bit of a hipster beast man… Having fun with all the hairs! I’ve probably spent 2 and a half hours on him collectively which isn’t great but I’m still learning and I did spend at least an hour of it with no mirror effects. It takes longer, but.. I like the outcome a whole heap better. Sooo much hate for his lips though ha! I plan on finishing him up tomorrow so watch this space! :)

For maybe fourth time I've opened Mudbox, I'm pretty proud of this!! :D Sculpted and textured in Mudbox and it only took me the better part of 2 hours this afternoon... Must. Get. Faster! He's called the Bane-lien... kind of a sub human / alien hybrid ha!

Really crappy 15min speed paint of some kind of demon monster dude?

More concept art! Aaaand.. I can't recall if I've ever attempted an interior design before... Awesome! First time for everything I suppose :)

Interior concept for a star wars inspired level design we are working on at school! I can't believe how much stuff I've learnt in Photoshop when I thought I knew most of it! Ha!
