Activity #1 2D - JohnN

  • Test painting, Surface tablet and Krita

    Testing a Microsoft Surface for digital art along with Krita. The latter is proving to be a very capable drawing/painting program. In some aspects equal to - if not better than - Photoshop! MS Surface is good but not as good as a wacom tablet.…

  • Magazine illustration: tank crew save digger

    I quick illustration depicting a true story (or so I am told) of a tank crew rescuing an australia soldier in the Vietnam war. Rough sketchy styling but required some research and accuracy as vetaran's seeing it would be critical. Painted in…

  • Tuginator iphone game graphics

    A recent game interface job I completed for an Adelaide based iphone/mobile developer. Final graphics included animation on the handkerchief as the rope moves and animated icons on the menu screen. Graphics are all based on photos then heavily…

  • Faux Comic Book Cover

    It's not really directly game related but I thought I'd post it anyway (Let's pretend it's a character study). This is where my recent illustration energies had been going rather than into concept art related topics. Created for a charity Auction…

  • Team C concept thumbnails 6

    Revisiting the first fleet of ships for Tsumea Team C project. One new design with the other 3 polished/modified small to moderate amounts. Whilst the details are still loose I'm satisfied with the overall designs. fingers crossed the rest of the…

Here is my first post (hope it works!)
I started with redrawing the figure, then played 'Dress-ups' with it. Total time for these added up to 3ish hours in front of telly.

These are good, I like the idea of the first one (the semi samurai lady). Only crit is maybe some more detial in them as well as some more colour, but that just maybe a style thing.
Good to see another one finish this activity.

I felt that being a quick activity that I would keep the sketches fairly basic and try to create a 'visual synopsis' of each character rather than fuss with details.

If I were to do the activity over again I think that I might have done several variations on one theme rather than spread my thinking/drawing time across 3 different ones. I think this would have resulted in a more detailed finishing point, which inturn might have lent it's self to a more sophisticated application of colour (I don't mind the simple, bold colour. It has done its job of describing materials and form.)
