enviorment

fresh environment.

i have another week to work on it so i'm going to use that time wisely.

sometimes, figures aren't enough

here's a robot idea i've been playing around with. i found some time tonight to get out a rough sketch in photo shop. rendering the metal was pretty easy with a textured brush, but i think next time i'll really push to refine it, and make the metal more convincing. i could of pushed the wheel and mechanism a little more, but at least i laid down my idea.

-Nash out.

voila, 

here's a more polished off version of this guy. i still have some regrets. like in the shading of the hat, and the bullets around his chest. but all in all, i feel pretty good about it. i think it'll make a decent portfolio piece for now. 

juevos V 3.0

Here’s my third draft of this character, but I still get the feeling that I should pump out a couple more. Either way, I’m SO much happier with this version. The one major upgrade is the face, now he has one. But now I’m left with other decisions to make.

I’m not committed to this color scheme in any way. But it's growing on me. I think I’m going to try and work out some real thick texture for the vest.


And I’m on the fence with the gun going between the legs. I like it and I don't. I think it's an improvement from just straight up and down, but like I said, I’m back and forth on it.


Also, I’m going to work some more detail into the gun.

Here are some ideas I’m playing with. Simple but I feel like they add a certain quality. I added a shoulder holster and two pouches on his belt. The pouches are place holders really, for when I figure out how he carries bullets for his pistol. And I guess that mostly depends on the time period. Because I automatically assumed he didn't have clips. So I says, a pouch!




And from a silhouette stand point... I don't think the pouch on the left will read well...

tienes juevos?

so, here's my progress with this guy. started painting it today. it's going well. and other than totally getting my ass handed to me by other students work, it's going well. but seriously, there's a lot of talented people in this class doing out of this world work.

but future plans for this guy, re-design the face. it's my major weak point and it SHOULD be one of my selling points....

todays class

in todays class i learned that i freaking love umbrellas. the shape is just perfect for story telling. i love how ominous it can be, and how it can represent safety and protection. anyway, here's the best one's of the day.
