SF Character Portrait

  • Seems to have been a while since I did a character design, and the first i have completed in a pen and marker technique!

    Brief was fairly open: Barbarian Warrior, something along the lines of Conan.

  • More additions in my folio redesign. I'm done with creatures (for now) and on to environments.

    will post in exhibition section for crits etc.

  • currently re(x3)doing my illustration folio. Aiming to get it looking more 'professional concept artist' and less... stinky! ... no I mean less aimless illustrator ...less whatever it was!

    So fingers crossed this is latest work is on the…

  • 3rd in my series of roadster concepts- Overall theme of this personal project was to explore design variations within a roadster format.

    This addition to the series was created entirely in Photoshop (except the mags, I admit I appropriated…

  • The latest sketches from my sketch book, With a bit of colour added. Will post them to the exhibition section too for comments :)

  • Yet another painting in my Architecture series, possibly the last one for this batch. Definitely the most finished one so far, although technically still a WIP (I've glossed over the ocean for starters)

    It will be added to my thread in the…

  • This time some architecture/city-scape concept sketches. I have done very little of this type of subject matter in the past (virtually none!) so I thought it would be a good subject to have a practice at.

    As with my previous postings, I…

  • Sketches examining a roman/greek style guard. This work in progress has been posted in the Exhibition section for comments/crits.

    ...I will get onto an avitar soon!

  • sketches in progress. Still needs some technical design aspects addressed (thanks for the feed back folks)

  • I have been sketching some quadruped vehicles recentily (a topic that I have not had a lot of practice with.) I am also experimenting with colouring techniques > Aiming for a fast technique that helps to describe the forms/volumes, and matches…

Something to fill in the time whilst waiting the the next quick activity. Done in Painter with a very small amount of Photoshop and Illustrator along the way.

Thanks for the feedback Brain. The above image is the updated pic, the link below is to the previous version for interested persons. I think I might do some modifications to her top to make to look less painted on and more see through ...hehe, just kidding ...about the 'less painted on' bit ...or am I?

I really like the detail of the face, though the head seems rather large in comparison to the body. And DANG! They be some perky breasts! @:-D Might want to review their shape, as well as how the shirt hangs. It's very loose around the neck region, but skin tight around the breasts. Not even any loose hanging on the underside of the breasts (perhaps she's showing them off to a guy off screen, hence the cheeky smile and eyes? @;-)

The face definitely seems to have received the most attention, and I think the rest of her could benefit from a rework of lighting, in particular some darker shadows. The centre console (with all the nifty looking buttons and lights) seems to be a little off perspective, and seems to 'stick out' a little more than it might need to.

Love the way you've handled the hair too. You can feel the volume of it. *thumbs up*
