Beast Of Burden - Character/Contraption - Slacker

[Slacker]

i'll post some more updates soon, so you might actually be able to start seeing what it is...

Very interesting image....your process seems really different. I don't really have any crits, but I'll be watching to see how this develops. :wavey:

[Slacker]

still playing around with the basic concept...
heres a couple of changes. I don't think I'm going to go with the wolf like one, but I did kind of like the ideal...

I still have no clue how this is going to turn out when I get done, but for now, heres an update. Just can't decide on what type of head, and what type of emotion to give it...

what makes me think this is gonna be really different looking (for here) and cool? Look forward to it.:thumbsup:

[wildsheepchase]

I'm curious about your process. Are you using filters to get this smooth, liquidy look? Or is it a brush style? Really interesting stuff!:D

[Slacker]

thx for the :thumbsup: 's

I'm mainly just using the smudge tool. I use a combo of filters usually in the end as well though, but most of my work is done with a big blob of spray paint and the smudge tool. A good example of this is below...

In my attempt to come up with a contraption, I pretty much started a whole new entry. :annoyed:

I get side tracked very easily so bear with me this challenge...

Here's what the color scheme would have been

So your not confused, I'm not going with the big bug thingy, I'm still sticking with the artic cat thingy. It will look something like the image below.

Nice style!! Looking forward to your final image. :thumbsup:

[Slacker]

Thx for the comp.:beer:

Still trying to come up with some details for the picture... I think I'm going to ditch the lizard guy and plant stuff on the left and just go with the stubborn artic cat and the bear with a gun. Haven't had much time to work on this as of late, my job's requiring a bunch of 12 hour days again. Plus, got to find a hotel for Siggraph...

Critiques Welcome

Here's a bigger picture of the bear

I like your style. The bear is radical.

[Slacker]

thx for the comp JFrench. :)

Well, I’m still in the contest, I just am being tremendously overworked. I even had to cancel my Siggraph trip, and I only live a few hours away from San Antonio!

Oh well, I’ve been getting a little distracted, and have been browsing the forums and seeing some really good work, so I've decided to up my entry a bit. This time I've started the background and scene work first, and will put the Beast of burden in an update a little later. For now, hope the update will suffice.

Your style reminds me of Dali. :)

Here's another update,
I'm going with a giant owl BoB. Needs alot of work, hopefully I can finish it in time. Stuck a little green man on it just to show the concept i'm trying to work. c-ya.

[Slacker]

I don't know what I'm doing. lol. :shrug:

The more I look at my work, the less I like it. Probably why I hardly ever finish any of my personal projects.
Well, I got like 4 days left to finish this contest, and I'll have something by then, I'm just not positive what....
here's an update of where the owl picture was heading. cheers. :beer:

[Slacker]

well, it's been a LONG month for me, so I'm submitting my final now. I wish I could have spent more time this month on the contest, but that's life....

Gonna go with this one...
