IDEA FOR GROUP PRACTICE.

HI EVERYBODY,
SO COOL IDEA, HOW ABOUT THIS:
ONE OF US THROWS OUT A COLOR PALLET FOR OUR BLOG MEMBERS.
WE THEN ALL SUBMIT AT LEAST ONE SPEED PAINTING USING THAT COLOR PALETTE.
I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT EXERCISE FOR US TO COMPARE WEAKNESSES AND STRENGTHS
AND GIVE OUR CRITIC A BALANCED PLATO.
Since we will all use the same color palette to start out we will then understand how to push things around. I can see this being a lot of fun.

ALSO in no means is this mandatory or should this take a lot of time but rather it should be seen as a weekly exercise to make our color use more interesting.
what do you guys think about that?

PLEASE ONLY HONEST OPINION...with open mind open for debate.
(right Angelo? "Valencia st")

Thanks for reading this later guys

hey guys! so this here is a followup to my last post here i show how i develop the character from a small thumbnail to a full character. from here on is good to go on photoshop and star giving them some nice textures.

Bone Hoarder


Started off with a sketch of some bone head, and then started blocking out a painting. It got huge, working at 4000x7000 pixels. Killed my computer so had to drop her down.

Here is a composite pressed on a photo I took in the Presidio

character speed paint

fuck digital painting part 2

starting to get somewhere, but this took me three hours to do. need to work on speed, lighting and more dynamic tonal values.


fuck digital painting!!!!

wtf - im so frustrated right now. i went through two episodes of "Breaking Bad" already (about 40 minutes each), and i have nothing worth saving. god fucking damn it. i feel that my digital skills and my traditional skills are in two different spectrum. i feel that im making brush strokes and im not getting anywhere. nothing is coming together. any advice?

indy cyborg

it's so interesting seeing how other artists work; seeing their thought process in action gives me a completely different perspective on concepting as well as new ideas to try out. this guy's beautiful use of edit/curves and overlaying previous art work for texturing purposes is insanely inspiring and motivational. it's been a really long time since i shared the same passion for concept art - maybe it's about time i get back into that saddle.


share and discuss.
