Moonbase concept

Standoff

Stylised druid

Thought I'd mix things up by working in a different style. More cartoony and colourful...it's ok-have not done stuff like this for a long time as I've been concentrating on my speed-painting and realism. Was very aware i was tightening up when i was doing it, which has made aspects very forced and flat in some cases-mainly cuz i was been more mindful of the style rather than what I was doing. I'll do another soon with a more dynamic pose, think that will help things....i think i was fighting to make a boring pose look interesting...Right! Gunna redeem myself this weekend with a 'boss(street lingo)' posed character!

Outpost

Spent the afternoon on this. I started with the top quarter as the composition but realised quite quickly into the sketch that it was kind of boring so I extended the canvas waaay out and knocked up a duplicate, to help the depth. Could probably add a couple more tiny elements but I'll look at it with fresh eyes tomorrow...
Cheers

Industrial sketch

Just a sketch today. Have been ill with the flu this past week so just looking to get back into things with something that isn't really... anything :D wanted to go with quite a muted realistic palette. Maybe it's my mood or maybe it's the weather outside...

Some Great news though from a couple of days ago: I came runner-up with an honourable mention in MPC's digital Matte Painting Contest which was run on www.mattepainting.org. Really chuffed! :P
