Hey going through some of the sketches I have lying around from the random folder of 2011.
Here are a few picks, hope you like them!
Hmm.. I made that last one today. Might post some more last year ramblings, but would like to just fix a couple of things... so its looking a bit bleak. Lets see!
Holidays has been great and quite busy, got a lot more stuff coming up, but it will be a while before it sees the dim light of a monitor online. Stay tuned.
Hope you had a great break and gl hf 2012! gg 2011, no re.
Big thanks to igorshirts from conceptships and conceptrobots for featuring my work! What an awesome surprise!
Head over there and check out all the amazing stuff!
Here is a super quick speed paint from tonight.
Space Russians. From space, with guns.
I think these two are done for now.
Sorry no video... Maybe next time..
Also I did some imaginative Star Craft 2 units for fun, got excited about the expansion and thought it would be fun to fantasise about what the new units might look like (this was before they were revealed).
I tried to emulate some of the more tooney Blizzard style, really relaxing and fun experiment.
Detail of the Firebat/Marine armour art. If you know the reference, I'll buy you a pint when I see you.
If we are in a pub.
So I did a recording while drawing the last half of this. Sorry I don't have the full thing, will fix this for next time!
I usually try to save my files with some milestones layers, so I can better review the steppes later.
However I never look at the psds later, and I accidentally the layers a lot, so I was looking for another more detailed way to track the process.
I thought a video capture would be more useful as a way to analyse my somewhat random speedpaint process.
And then why not share it? Because its terrible you say? Well yes, but I want to start streaming and creating more active art content, so gotta start somewhere.
Since a video on its own is pretty boring I added a commentary. Its pretty bad... sorry. please feel free to mute it. My mic is terrible, and I mumble and repeat a lot... will look into getting a better mic and brain for next time. Unless I die from sheer embarrassment. Please feel free to leave any feedback in comments, or requests btw.
Anyways I love watching this kind of videos (done right) by other artists, seeing what weird little tricks they use, have a peak inside their brain and maybe learn something. So I hope you can somewhat enjoy my first clumsy attempt at making one!
I'm still figuring out video compression stuff, so please bear with the low quality for now. OK JUST WATCH THE !%#%!^ VIDEO CONVERTING THIS SHIT TOOK FRIKIN AGES TO MAKE!
Hey,
Here are some of the concepts I did for director Nikolaj Feifers 'Junk Love' little over a year ago.
Its a Danish sci-fi short done on a tiny buget as part of the Danish film school graduation films.
I had a lot of fun working on this, even though it was very tight for time and everything I did was done in my spare time, it was inspiring to feel the passion from the small crew and see how they managed to pull this together.
Hope you enjoy!
Some stills of the spaceship from the movie. Unfortunately I don't have the name of the company who did the renders but they did an excellent job!
Hey here is something I've been chipping away at the last couple of nights.
The Jumper was a primary reconnaissance mech from the earlier days of walker warfare.
Jet pods enables high jumps and temporary hovering for scouting.
Armaments removed to decrease fuel consumption/weight and increase jump range.
Different weapons available at key positions, for quick attachment, should combat arise.
It Premieres the 10th of June at the Danish filmschool.
I'll throw up more stuff after the premiere!
'Danish Space Junk '
Also some quickish face studies done over the last couple of evenings.
Roughly 30mins each, tho some of the girls took longer. Males are a lot easier for me to draw, I guess its because the skull is more clearly defined so when you are constructing, you are already getting some likeness. And you can be a lot more rough. Girls seem to have no skulls, are super smooth and they wear makeup and shit arrgh!
The pictures are from a really cool site I found quite a while ago. It had tons of pictures of people at different parties, really good quality too, many seemed to be taken before people could really react or pose for it, which gave some great natural results.
Unfortunately I lost the link and I haven't been able to find it again, so I can't give credit, and now I'm running out of reference.
So if you know of any good sites for photography of people please send me a message or put it in the comments!
One of my colleagues recently introduced me to Autodesk Mudbox, and I got really excited about it.
Its pretty much what I always felt like modelling should be. Its very intuitive, and if you know maya already, very easy to jump into and get sculpting right away. Fun stuff!
I've done something that could be some weird alien Batman. If Batman was a movie like The Fly, that took place in the Mass Effect universe... yeah..
Also some quick speedpaints and a study done over the last couple of evenings.
The idea is that its more easy access to my body of works, compared to the blog.
But fear not, that only means I can post a lot more of my rough rubbish ideas here, hopefully you guys will enjoy it, or at least be entertained. :)
Here is an evul war lord about to slay any lvl on the battle fields.
2hour study of Sargents 'Henrik James'. Doesn't do either Henrik or Sargent much justice, but it was fun and felt like good practice.
Have a look at the original here, if you like.
And a couple of speedpaints.
This one not so speedy, did it over a couple of evenings.
This one pretty fast actually, an hour or so I think.
Hey, here are some recent life drawing from the classes in Angel, and from the first new session at Double Negative.
Hopefully a lot more to come!
Hope you enjoy them.
If naked women is not your thing, here is a gas mask dude.
Seems I can draw an endless stream of these guys...
I did actually draw the feet in this one. But it felt more cinematic to crop them off.
Separate feet available on request.
I've been mixing up my brushes lately, with different sets I've found online.
Currently I'm using some from the "Fine Arts Brushes Vol 1" alot, which where created by Jan Ditlev, very cool stuff.
Go check out his site!
..Click for bigger robot..
Ok, I've had it with these retarded resizing issues.. Gonna try and fix it up, so things might look a bit weird here for a moment.
Hi Here is another speedpaint. 'Speedpaint' which means I start out with a ton of speedy frantic strokes, and then take ages to refine them until i find something I like.
Hope you enjoy it!
Also big thanks to everyone following the blog, just hit 70 and I'm honoured you guys dig dropping by!
Super creepy and long lost brother of the Chestfarter.
The Lunger is packed with contagious disease. Slow but never resting, it will find you by scent.
Weak points, belly and legs. Belly will explode in a shower of contagious goo, so avoid close quarters and shotguns. Listen for dry cough, and heavy breathing.
Also if you haven't played Amnesia The Dark Decent by now, I suggest you get going. Most scary game I've played in 2010.
