Machineflesh 2D Challenge Entry: Aaron La'Gere

#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

Nice job! the metalic surfaces are cool!:thumbsup:

I really waiting for some colors… !

Hei dude, I invite you to see and comment my project, the TEMPLAR.

Keep the great job!

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

Hey dude, COOL metalic surfaces!

I visit your site, congratulations, very cool!!!

well,

I keep my eyes in your job!:thumbsup:

Keep this good work!

see the TEMPLAR project

#21

whoa nice pic there. I think you should hurry it along :slight_smile: challenge is ending soon.

#22

Yea I know, I just have so much other stuff to do it’s hard to fit time in.

#23

I think it’s about ready for the next step, I may have to go back and change a few things or add some but that isn’t a problem.

I’ve decided to wait until the final image to give the story behind the image.

#24

oO i think it looks much tighter with the added lower part. it’s looking real good. :] i knew you’d wait until the end to give us the story… building up the suspense aren’t ya? lol :stuck_out_tongue:

anyway, looking good. :thumbsup:

#25

Well that plastic render could be very cool if you had details, at this stage it’s a bit blurry.

good luck

#26

Plastic Render? I’m not sure what you mean. The details are there but the image is extremely shrunk down, when I start working on the second layer of custom textures the original details will stand out in contrast.

#27

:hmm: perhaps bonestudio is thinking you used that plastic wrap filter thing that PS has ?? or maybe I’m wrong, and misunderstood what he was talking about. :shrug:

anyway, your mouse airbrushing skills own. so, finish it already! lol.
