Hover Scooter

Thumbnails! I've been neglecting this important part of the design process in quite a number of my work and I think I'm paying the price. Anyway I'm trying to get back into the swing of things with this one. This style is closer to what I do at work. Also, this is my rather weak attempt at creating a female character, being weak at anatomy and all.

I really do wonder if I'll ever hit a breakthrough any time soon. Nights like these, you tend to question the meaning of it all and where you're headed..

JA-27 Flying Lion MK.VII

When I look at myself as an artist, I find that I am lacking in way too many areas. Lately, I have been neglecting perspective and proper linework in both my personal and office work. So I thought I'd try to kick it back into gear with a plane. Gotta be more disciplined!

This design seemed like a really good idea at first, but turned out rather abysmal, but that's another problem for another day.

Original linework:

Persian Soldier

Here's another one that started out as a study and eventually evolved into something stylized and cartoony. I also played around with the armour references found on the internet and mixed it up a little. Since I'm not good with faces, I thought I'd throw in one just for kicks.

Time to hit the sack!

Desert Shock Trooper Sketch

This was more like an experiment in sketching forms and making it somewhat presentable in a short time. I haven't solved all the surfaces and functionality, but it was just fun messing around.

This time round, I was channelling some Maschinen Krieger colourways.

Slender Loris

Today's little critter is the slender loris. These little paintings are rather fun and easy to do, without using too much brain power. Good practice for my strokes while learning a thing or two about some animals.

Apparently, slender lorises are so small that people tried smuggling them by hiding them in their underwear.

Pygmy Three-Toed Sloth

Too many robots and machinery as of late. I'm making it a point to study nature from now on. Took the liberty of adjusting this fella's proportions. Just some late night fun before I sleep.

Feudal Future- Shinobi

It's been awhile since I've worked on some personal art. 2013 turned out to be busier than I expected and I found myself unable to finish anything worth showing.

Anyhow, I thought I'd add on to my Feudal Future lineup with this cyborg. Looking at all the Last Man Standing (Danny Luvisi) art on Facebook, I wanted to force myself to render a little tighter without the help of textures.

Sadly after many painful hours, I don't think I achieved that much. On hindsight, I also realized that I must have been channelling my inner urge to play Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance.

Oh well, I don't own a console anymore.
