Yo!

I got myself the Adobe Production Premium CS6 pack and decided to test out the 3d painting feature!
Did a quick random sketch.. looked like some little garbage robot -thing..

You can see a quick test of the painting here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-7b5GOZCJs&feature=results_video

It has weird white artifacts sometimes.. but you would mainly use it to establish main colors and sketch out the design, after which you'd switch to the 2D view.

EDIT: Here's another render.. 2k texture and 256 one.

Saw a neat little tutorial on ctrlpaint.com about tiny thumbnail concepting, using colors from a photograph. Grabbed 2 random photos from the net and did a bunch of these little thumbnails.

These were the 3 that I iked the most.

Some 5-15mins on each sketch.

Heres a new one..

Some canyon planet.. and a few spaceships flying around it.

I've always wanted to make a really sunny painting some day. Found my Very old sketchbook on CA org and this sketch there. Kinda liked the composition in it. So I thought I might try painting it. Colorizing a BnW sketch was a PAIN! Ughh....

About 3 days I think..
Some photo reference of canyons and rocks..

Haven't done any personal "big" paintings for a while now.. so here's one!

I accidentally found a great environment painter in Ustream, named "Dentyou". I got so inspired that I had to quickly sketch out my idea. It got approved by the original artist and now its finished.

It is the same city as mr. Dentyous's city, but a different part of the city.

Color and design reference from Dentyous original painting.
