Hey Prabath, thanks for dropping by. I’m not quite sure if I’ll finnish. I could push it and work every day, but that would be sacrificing too much, I’ll see how my situation turns out.
However, I’m sure you’ll finnish. Definitely. Armor concept looking great, don’t know what to crit since I can’t put it in context to the character. Alone it stands greath though. Great detail.
Hey DV,
Thanks for the comments pal. Yup its a lot of work getting it to fit together with the rest.detail wise I used a bunch of custom brushes i mainly use for metallic surfaces. They seem to be doing a bang up job. try harder pal. You should owe it to your self to finish this time around.
Cheers!
Its 1.00 am here in Colombo I’m still going. Just finished the Upper Armor & the Blood Gauntlet.
Working on the Head now.The weapon/background/effects is all that’s left.Hopefully I’ll be able to turn it in.
All C & C are welcome.Good luck to everyone else.
Cheers!
Wow, it’s been a really long day. But I managed to finish some more of my painting. I finished the armor…
… and added the sorry focal point of my character’s wrath…
The initial idea would be that Dantalion is raising his Rune Blade to chop of the machine’s head and end it’s misery.
And here’s a few steps i took to do the machine…
Seems like I’ll be able to finish off in time I guess.As usual all crits are welcome.
Cheers!
unusual workflow (at least for me) you have there -painting piece by piece
but it seems to be working great
waiting for the head and the rest
cheers
Hey man,
Yup, most people see it as an unusual method. But like you said it works. Especially when you are on a truncated timeline. The important thing is that you get the scale and composition in early by roughing in colors. Basically pathes ofblack and white in this case.
Cheers!
Yay, an extension! Never mind though I was going to finish any way. So here’s my scene sans background…
Working on the background as you’re reading. Once that’s done it’s only the effects. Expecting a lot of Crits on this before I can finalize it. All the best to my fellow Warriors.
Cheers!
I really love it man. You know who he reminds me of? That demonslayer or whatever from that upcoming game “Darksiders”. Really badass, gives me a woody. Good job!
Hey man,
Thanks for the comments. I checked out Darksiders on www.gametrailers.com, and you were right. I wonder if it will affect my entry also. Hadn’t heard of it. before. But that cinematic is stellar.But still my inspiration was more towards a cross over between the hulk and a death knight. And the gauntlet was inspired by the Witchblade/Darkness armors.
And here’s my W.I.P. with background added…
Let me know what you think.
Cheers!
You have a pretty cool style man! I really love the painterly feeling of the background and the effects on the sword! How do do that? Do you start with a photo or do you paint all the little pieces of plasma / fire stuff? I’m discovering there is a lot I don’t know how to paint because I’ve never actually tried, so I have to learn a method when I run into these things.
My only crit, which is probably too big to actually fix, is that i really want to see all the details in the solid black areas. But I guess that doesn’t really go with the style your using. That said, I really enjoy the shapes you created in his armor and the ground using that harsh shadow and lighting style. Pretty impressive draftsmanship! Nice work!
hey Matthew,
Thanks for you thoughts.Well, here’s a neat trick to try.Pick an object you want to paint.And paint what you see and not what it is.Only think in shapes and values.Do it in B & W.We interpret form in shades of Grey. It’s not the details that count. Only the implication of it.(See the WIPs I have) Play light against dark and you can emulate detail. Color and the rest is just the icing on the cake. For effects I make my custom brushes.Best way to go.Hope this helps.
Cheers!
Hey Everyone,
