Concept Arts Thread: WIP and Finished Works Thread

this is a dumb question guys....but err how the heck do i get the tiny gfx or concept  graphic under my avatar

oh and nice work zombie. im only iffy about the back of the neck on the profile view but thats cus i worry about anatomy too muhc

Two of these "I have lots of other things to do and I don't know  what I'm doing here...."-pics...
I did the first one a few hours ago....the second one is older~
...uhm....very...green-brown.."...

And I've a question, too~
Is it allowed to post nude pics, if all important things are covered? May sound silly but... 

When you're building a power armor there are two ways to focus: realism or design. Usually the latter is the one that works best because power armor doesn't work well in real life. Come up with something cool looking and don't be afraid to bulk it up like hell, or to create something that would naturally require the wearer to have a BMI of 12,5.

yo, some new stuff been workin on. startin to finish this one up

yea someone is actually gonna try and model it so i was tryin to keep that in mind, but ill probably have to explain a few details to him and draw up a side view too. on this particular one i was just keeping the concept in mind and not too much on the modeler, i really wanted just a cool lookin robot but ill definitely have to keep the modeler in mind

Here is a concept of a little VTOL craft I've been playing around with, the R-15A Also known as the Bumblebee mainly used to transport medics around to hard accessed areas.

Thanks Sinking =), yes indeed I did imagine it to be steam powered while I drew it.

I like the look of your CEO, it reminds me alot of how i imagined Humbert Prestel and the stereotype of a Class-A Pencillneck =P
( might ring a bell if you have read The Gone-Away World )

The neck does look a tad strange but great work

Yeah, I was really trying to have this guy's head ooze out of the neck hole of the shirt and I actually made the small hole on intention to increase that effect. Perhaps I'll redraw him with more detail and better care for detail, because his slobby double/triple chin, didn't come out so good. Think of a pig wearing a tight neck sweater and you get where I was trying to take this.
I try to paint something every day, but in the end I don't have that much time and I still can't organise my sessions right, so I end up spending a lot of time creating a certain part of a picture - mostly faces - and then just slob on the rest in half an hour. This is what I did today and it was just a fun idea I had, when I saw a photo of the women (you might recognise her) in a boulevard magazine. I'm sure my Thai-Take-Away is already suspecting me, because every time I'm there I secretly rip some images out of the great tabloids he has lying around. Fun!
thanks for the crits, you are very right Miyavii and I'm trying to improve by making speedpaintings every couple of days.

I might as well have a go.  I'm fairly new to drawing concept art and mostly all I've done are zombies and guns.  I have trouble doing anatomy especially.  I might take some classes if I have the time, but I doubt that.  Anyways, tell me what you think so I can improve.

Hah, thanks Miyavii - that's a big compliment for me, because I only started "learning" art and color theory about 15 months ago, since my team was always desperately in need of concept artists and I only found very few reliable ones. I did draw when I was younger and always liked it, but it's just one of those talents that get washed away, when you grow older and work stupid stuff for a living.

I'm gonna redo my android in classcal 80's airbrush style, maybe later. I just wanted to get an impression on what I was trying to say with the picture, so I spend only 30 minutes on the robot body and it even looks like maybe 10 (I was tired). I spent about an hour on the face and 30 minutes on the armor, so it's not really a speedpainting any more. I do call everything speedpaint though, which I do on one or two layers and within a 2 hour range. A "real" painting would take up to a week, I guess, and I'll see if I can finish some environments for our film "Mech Override" n that way and put them online, later this year.

Since I'm very busy with a CGI-film I'm making with a great team, I cannot take any other work onto me for at least one more year.

Simpler said - the areas closer to the light will be lighter, further away from the source will be darker. That goes for any light with the transition from white, yellow, orange to red color, if we're looking at most light sources. Lights these days turn out to be more white than yellow, though, so they have some cold blue colors rather than warm yellows (check your lightbulbs).
Lighting is very important, which is why some people prefer making a picture in shades of grey, just to determine, which areas receive more light and which ones are darker.

Same ole Woman, with a bit better proportions and small retouches to detail, like the eye(s) and neck:

I realized painting white stuff is really the hardest it gets and unfortunately she came out grey. Against a dark blackground she'd still look light, but to paint something white on white is near impossible, I think.
