Quick study of a sculpt from my house:

Pheonix: It looks like a Satyr

#22

Just a quick study of jack zhang’s last suclpt ( http://forums.cgsociety.org/showthread.php?f=43&t=802740&page=1&pp=15 ), it reminded me of dr warhole

#23

about 1.5h concept (not finished…):

I never said what I wanted to practice but i think that for the next couple of weeks id like to concept as much as i can

#24

lol. i’m flattered. thanks.

If I may. it seems to me that you execution needs a bit consistency, in terms of style. personally i like the spawn the most. it is the closest toward a real concept. I suggest you go with that direction. Also if you seriously consider becoming a concept art, may I suggest start with silhouette study for a month. you will notice the result, i promise.

#25

Yes I am definetly serious about being a concept artist if I can get there, and thanks for the tip I will try to do silhouettes for a month, so far drawing everyday for the whole summer helped me alot so i trust that this will help aswell. Thanks for the tip!

Heres some quick silhouettes before I go sleep:

#26

Shame on me that I don’t participate that much, :blush: unlike how Jack does, he is crazyyyyyyy! I am doing some small projects on the side, will pick up the an hour every day as soon as I can! :arteest:

Hey everyone! I’ve been a way for a few days so havn’t been able to keep this up! However I shall do it when I can…

I decided rather than start something new, id work a bit more on the pieces I put up before. I was really unhappy with my dragon… it was far too soft and plastic looking! So I’ve redone it with a hard brush and more saturated (I think that’s the term!) colours. I think he’s looking a bit more angry now!

Btw Spez I love your silhouette work! They have a lot of movement to them, great poses and great anatomy! I think ur concept work is going well. What is alchemy? Is it a painting program of some sort?

#31

Pheonix thats a really cool update!! keep up! I like that style change alot!

heres a couple of thumbs, i didnt do the whole 1h today :frowning: but I will try to do more later tonighthttp://img36.imageshack.us/img36/403/tmbm.jpg

Hey btw Phoenix, Alchemy is a free drawing program that you can download here: http://al.chemy.org/ check it out its really cool

#33

Hey,

Thanks for the encouragement spez! Wow that Alchemy program is difficult first try! I have no idea how you’re creating such good work with it :wink: I tried drawing something and it came out as a big splodge! Might be good for fine art…
How long have you been drawing/doing cg for?

I have probs spent two hour playing with this. I wanted to do more but my brother wants me to work on a website… so best get on.

#34

The reason Alchemy is hard to work with is because Alchemy isn’t made/designed to be used to make clean pretty picture, you don’t go into alchemy trying to draw something, the randomness is crazy abstract shapes is suppose to help you design thumbnails and get ideas.

#35

Iv been doing cg for around a year and a half, drawing for a couple of months

just a couple of thumbs, tried to explore alchemy a bit more so i put more time on each but probably more to come tonighthttp://img38.imageshack.us/img38/1381/tmbw.jpg

#36

wow nice idea jack :smiley:
i have a question tho…can we spend more then an hr a day and just post several pics if we want to (like first hr,second hr,third hr etc…on the same day?)
and what do you mean by setting a focus? we need to study something or should we try making a concept of our own?

will try to join :smiley:

and zacd- i think alchemy is a great software just for the fact that its random as hell cuz sometimes you lack the inspiration and cant just let yourself wonder around for several hrs waiting for something to inspire you and then out of the randomness you get in alchemy you can find some interesting forms that will inspire you :smiley: it was made just for this purpose :smiley:
and some artists prefer using randomness in their works cuz they then can create things that they even didnt think of :smiley:

#37

you can do more than 1 hour, you can post multiple images per day (but I suggest keep that number low, else the thread will be pretty heavy to open at the end).

focus means, don’t draw a car today and a rabbit tomorrow and your granny the day after. You can check the E.D.A.H in 3d section and see how I focus.

i love the last two updates spez. compare with the first few alchemy sketches, the latest presentation is a lot more mature. I can actually pick up pretty good silhouette and even details from them. I love the last two characters on the right of the last update. I think i’m going to zbrush the one on the top right corner for my next head.
