Jetscapes

Tried some organic landscape approach to some jet fighters, I might explore this idea further with other subjects.

Sun Bathed Towers

Here are to speed from today, tried to hit the 20-30 min time limit with those and almost did it, one is for 30 and the other 35. I just couldn't stop :P.

Crimson Resonator

Bright red car ref based tank-thing. Second in the series

Planetside Patrol

A quick B&W sketch with some curves for flavor. I should try to suggest more with some colors on top for that time, but I still lack the confidence I guess.

Flotilla

Something out of the archives, this thing I started somewhere in 2008 and had several failed attempts to bring to a finished state. So I guess it's not getting more finished than that. It's weird that there's something in that image that I still like after so much time, so I decided to share it.

The Huntress

Here's little something from the end of last year. I didn't originally post it because I had plans to have it polished a bit, I never did it. Finally decided that some sketches are a lot better left unfinished.

Conversation with the master

Here's a speedy from last month, trying to improve my speed a bit, finishing thinks faster preferably in one go. Still doesn't work most of the time and I find myself overdoing parts again and again. I also tried out some new brushes here.

Burn

A random figure sketch. Just trying to loosen up. I haven't done anything even remotely related to figures or characters lately. I evidently need more studies from life or ref. Life preferably. I tried bringing it a bit further in several directions, but finally resided it's not going anywhere and I should maybe rest for a bit from overdesining stuff and just enjoy the painting.

Teal Thunder

Part of series of experiments I started that include picking a really small photo thumbnail of random vehicle(car), with a pallet and overall perspective I like and using this as a starting point and building on top, whatever comes. In general, turning old cars in a futuristic and some times retro-futuristic, armored vehicles in bright colors. If I get time to finish them expect me posting the rest of them in not so distant future.

Out in the Desert

A derert patrol bot and its crew, meeting the sunrise.

Shaded thumbnail, B/W sketch and final.

Aerden

A recurring character of mine I keep drawing and redesigning from time to time. Here's the latest version.

Magic Hammer WIP

This is a sketch a started a looong time ago and intended to finish before posting, something I'll probably never do so here it is all of it's unfinished glory.  

The idea in few word:  a bad ass warrior mage with a knick for picking locks and brewing potion, wielding a great hammer of war. In other words - the most thinly spread multi-class possible to achieve in Eschalon Book I by Basilisk Games (http://basiliskgames.com/) . For some good old fashioned dungeon crawling goodness check the demo of this fine indy rpg!

Mixed Media Attempt 2

 Here's my second recent mixed media attempt/test/exercise.

Quick black Marker sketch +  Some Acrylics + Some Photoshop.

Alchemy experiments

Here are some experiments I did some time ago with trowing some quick shades(PShop) on top of b/w mess quickly done in Alchemy. I was planning to do more of those but finally ended with just two. Maybe some day, I'll play with this process some more.

Bike Sketch

A quick and tiny doodle of bike and girl. Just a rough idea from some time ago, I never posted back then.

Tractor

Here's a speed paint of random vehicle, without any thought involved. The task was to impovise and get something finished in decent level of detail in about an hour. I kinda worked, the lighting is a bit vague and the design is meh, but it kinda looks cute. I also managed to get a video of this one recorded and it's being already 3 hours since I'm trying to downsize it and crop it a bit, no success this far. 

And here's the time-laps. The quality is a bit poor, don't ask how I did it, it was long and painful. I hope it'll be useful :).

Flyer ONE

A quick flier for today. Maybe more tomorrow.

Arrr...

Here's a quick hue study. It was just a quick exercise in me trying to stick to local tones an use shadows and darks only if necessary. I'm kinda happy with it, should do more.

Of Charshop and Photocoal

A little charcoal doodle made a bit more plausible with the help of PS, done inspired by Aeon telling me repetitively just how awesome charcoals were. (slightly inspired by Zhaoming Wu)

Forest of the Pierced Stones

And here's finally the unremarkable first post on my blog I've being postponing for ages. Some mystique forest thumbnails, with strange monoliths hiding in between the trees. Started like another set of those popular lumpy stone mound environments, but accidentally they got equipped with a few branches here and there an voila we've got a strange looking forest of towering trees.
