Grand Space Opera 2D Entry: Patrick Wong

poo… now i feel bad for not posting some of the stuff that i wanted to…

element5. thanks…

W!L: ah… i see so you’d like to see her in a sort of Princess + Guard/Buddy picture ala Masamune Shirow styles :smiley:

to tell you the truth i’ve already started changing the way she looks with a new composition… i mean as i was explaining before, i find the process on line art, to scan to colour has increased as far as speed… so on the one hand while it affords me the luxury to being able to work quickly, it also has prevented me from wanting to post with an incomplete colour treatment… i’m really happy with the way its looking, but i’ve in fact only had little spurts of 1/2 an hour if i’m lucky when i get back from work… i’ve been a bit busy lately so its unfortunate [or fortunate depending on how you see it] in that if i’ve felt inspired or awake enough to work, i’ve had very little time

all that said tho… when i have done something its been quality as far as how i felt about it…

anyway… be patient… [ha you have me feeling guilty now]… btw i like your dice girl… you should work her more… its photoshop, save another version n’ detail it out with multiply, colour dodge, or whatever brushes you enjoy :smiley: to see how you feel about it…

new line art for the princess… fleshing it out better… i think i like the head more…

#32

The new princess lineart might be a bit more fleshed out, but I personally prefered the angle of the face on the other version. It just added a nice touch of variety to a piece with alot of symmetrical shapes.

#33

progress… moving slowly… mostly because i’m just not working on things consistently… o well… this is coming along nice…

#34

Great sketch but a quite messy coloring. I suggest u to use some more saturated colors, and dont make such a great contrast betwen lights and shadows… But this could be just a step in the process so im sure it will be much better at the end! :slight_smile: cheerz

#35

crap… i’m gonna be late fo’ work… o well. i do see the advantage of the other pose…

still i’m starting to develop an affinity to this right now… any suggestions?

[i’m actually working on detailing both simultaneously but obviously more work on this version]

#36

really love the cocky expression and colours on her face so far.great work.

#37

just blocking in colours… i definitely want a more elaborate costume for her… going to research/sketch more…

[sadly i’ve also started considering another concept… but perhaps not… restraint! :P]

#38

hey selvagem!
Man im loving your new princess!

great colors i lloved her nose and eyes!

keep up the good work!

i think the olny thing that dosnt make my taste is her hair.
but taste is taste!

#39

easy Pat :slight_smile:

Just looking at your latest sketches gave me an idea. You know those pictures you see of women in body paint? They are basically naked but have funky outfits or pictures painted on them so they look clothed. You could do something similar with your little lady. Perhaps have a galactic scene painted on her body. Then again I just realised thats a crap idea and I spent 30 seconds of my life typing this out. Oh well. I think that means its time for sleeeeeeeeep!

Keep on trucking with your entry. Unlike Flint :wink:

I think someone should confiscate WOW off you…

#41

ok. i admit it. i’ve been bad.

i got sick… had the flu for a week and that completely destroyed my momentum… that + the new world of war craft… and work of course. in between all three of those, thats my excuse

in the interim however i have been working out different things. I think i may have been beating a dead horse with the original princess but since i’ve come up with this and its been moving more than relatively quickly i think i will run with this…

sigh

i feel horrible.

oh well

keep working!!!

#42

I like the style of your draw, great good luck for the challenge

My challenge page

#43

Yea I’m liking the new girl mate. Looks much more like a princess, she’s got that kind of demeanour (sp?). Make those gloves silk. Phwooooorrrrrrrrrrr!

#44

good character design.:bounce:

#45

ok. it looks like i haven\'t been working but i have been… as this next huge update is going to show. i decided to update by changing one of the protectors… i think by the end of this challenge i may or may not have finished but certainly given it a good go… [i\\\'ve been busy putting together a new demo tape which i\\\'m pretty happy with at the moment. anyways… hopefully this update will be to everyone\\\'s enjoyment]

Protector : \“Stay back princess… i\'ll protect you\”

#46

processing into line art… don’t like the face…!

#47

nu head. i think he looks more angry/menacing… “Stay back princess… i’ll destroy any who dare come near you!” :smiley:

#48

colouring now…

#49

just re-adjusting everything to check what the end layout will look like.

something like this anyway
[i think i’m starting to be relatively happy with what i’m doing here now]
