Here is the final version 1.0 of Freight Farce!
Check out the teaser Trailer at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DuHZI0-TtCM

Started a new illustration.. Its Nue Houjuu!
I actually never beat TH: UFO, so i never met her personally.. but i like her design. Except the wings and the snake are a bit weird design choice..

UPDATE 14.11.2011:
Update on Nue.
Next step is rendering all the lighting and meterials.
Still have no idea what kind of background to do... if any. :(

EDIT: forgot the sketch..

This is the painting i did for the 1-week digital paiting course's final task. The task was just to simply paint a more detailed, more finished painting than the rest tasks we did...

I've wanted to paint some classic oil-paintingy looking iconic looking paiting for some time now... featuring some shuttle or a spaceship..

Hey!
The Digital painting in Photoshop course has ended.. and i did a bunch of paintings.. I just got one more to finish - the final task of the course.

Here is a weekend from-life -painting.

Photoshop

About 3-4 hours.

Some cars for today...
and at the bottom is the original iPod sketch i did some 2 years ago on our summer cottage.. the newer one i put here some time ago was done this year on my Xperia Arc phone.

Some robos for today.. was too lazy to render these.. the last one is a Canon scanner -bot :)
I started on something much bigger..

Not going to show you any sketch of it because its so messy.. but it will be done during next week. Its a cloudy scene of a delayed shuttle launch.

Tuesdays paintings...
+ a sketch of some random sportscar.. but it wasnt good enough to put here.

Top: PS, Wacom, No reference, 1h 40min
Bottom: PS, Wacom, No reference, about 40 minutes i think.

1st day of the digital painting in Photoshop course im going to on this week.

Apparently like 80% of the students on this course have only the minimal basic knowledge of Photoshop - so teacher is forced to keep it really simple and the first day went totally in getting to know the Photoshop layout and its basic functions.

So i went my own way and painted the speakers that were standing on the teachers table right infront of me.

A reference picture for the colors.

Damit... I just dont.. get it..
In photoshop the picture looks perfect... as soon as i export a PNG - it gets ten times more saturated and a million times darker!! and if i artificially raise the midtones before exporting -> the contrast gets all f*cked up. Very weird. :/

Once again.. you must view the picture in complete darkness to be able to see anything on the screen :)

Some color reference from Alice: Madness Returns.
About 3 hours.

A pack of dogs/wolves.. concept art for our game idea for our schools game course that our team is going to pitch.

about 6h.

I really hope you sit in a dark room.. or else you can't see anything.. :( sorry.

Dammit.... if Blogspot AGAIN made the pics like a million times darker.. ugh... sorry
I just dont get it. In Photoshop everything looks just Perfect! as soon as i export the png -> it gets 3 times darker and when i put the images on Blogspot -> + 10 times more darker!!

I really hope youre viewing these in a pitch dark room with a calibrated monitor!
Here are some concept art for game that we are goint to pitch at our school's game course.
