Machineflesh 2D Challenge Entry: Aaron La'Gere

#1

Aaron La’Gere has entered the Machineflesh 2D Challenge.

#2

When I read the requirements for the contest an idea instantly come to light. I won’t share just yet but let’s just say it involves a slightly more morale decision on slavery.

The concept has basically a few ideas for the final image, nothing I wouldn’t change completely if I thought it could work better.

#3

hey cool picture!

#4

Because I don’t really do “line art” I mean I tried, it just doesn’t work for me. I have to pretty much just airbrush the image and then submit it as as the line art milestone and move on to wip coloring.

I will add more info about the image on my line art submission.

#5

I’m trying to tighten up the details a little without getting too complex making the image appear to have noise. I did more work on the hand and moved down to the “chain” I’m confident even with the figure deformations in the arm I can create the illusion of depth.

#6

Without explanations of your concept it’s hard to make any comment…

Will it be only black and white ?

#7

I’m sorry, no it will be in color. I don’t want to share too much information about the scene just yet. I will be sure to give more information in further posts about what I’m actually doing with the image though.

#8

I have had to spend all my free time on other projects lately so it was kind of nice to set aside an hour and work on the contest entry.

I have been focusing this last part on defining the feeling of the head. I made a decision not to create the face until last because I believe with a face the viewer searches for emotion and feeling, and until I have the rest of the feeling in the image defined I could end up having to recreate the face.

I am having trouble deciding what to do with the arm, I don’t want to go overboard and miss the deadline for the final image but I want it to be cool.

#9

I decided I am going to try and squeeze in the extra time to make the arm more interesting. I also did some work on the neck area.

#10

I had to stay up a little later then I wanted to work on this, but I think it’s worth it.

I have defined the shape and feel of the arm, and some details. I think the meat in the arm is a good thing.

#11

The shapes and the style and all are really kool… but i dont really get it…:bounce:

#12

Your style is bloody awesome. :slight_smile: It looks 3d but still looks 2d…just cool. :slight_smile: Im guessing you’re using a Wacom and painting in Photoshop or Corel Painter.

#13

I use a logitech mouseman dual optic, no tablet. I use photoshop cs. If you look at teh edges you cna tell I make up for the lack of fluid lines by accessive smudging. Despite that I would say I have one of the smoothest mouse hands I’ve ever seen.

#15

Heres an update.

#16

oof Sorry for the horrible spelling and grammer before I was temporarily retarded.

#17

Just wanted to come show my support for your entry. :smiley: I think this is looking dope :thumbsup: Your mouse skills still amaze me. Cant wait to see the finished image. Keep it up, Aaron. I look forward to seeing the updates.

GL in the contest.

#18

Thanks Kar0…It’s going pretty slow right now but I have motivation with that cintiq to hurry things up.

#19

I suppose it would be a good thing to have a lower half on the body.

#20
