For fun, and a sketch challenge at my old school. I think it would be entertaining. The rest of the work is going good, I should probably get back to it...

Western Style...

Version 2

So heres the second version of the badass. Now He actually looks like what hes suppose to; a cowboy of some sort, or at least a man of the old west.

1898

Robot Thumbnails!

Thats pretty much what they are. Bipedal for the most part. Theres one quadruped in there somewhere. Joints are indicated using small circles. In some cases its subtle, in others its just a circle. Had fun doing them, mostly because I like robots.

Supreme Badass v1.0

Thats pretty what much he is. This design will change a lot by the time I am done. Didn't need to g all out with the rendering, but it was good practice like the previous studies, in understanding the shapes of the face and how they can be made to be distinct. His story is that he is a late 1800s cowboy who gets transported into present day and has to fight monster aliens from the future that have come back in time. It sounds wonky, but my quest here is to only make things that look good, and are functional for the subject matter. Not to mention he is a total badass, who'll cut you down with a glare. I came up with a fun story for the scar on his face. When asked, he said it was from a small grizzy bear. Until he fought back, then it was just dead. Badass.

As instructed, his re-design will be more distinct, and focus on giving him more character attributes related to the fact that he is a cowboy.

Also this is what he looks like in a hat, the same hat he had on during the grizzly attack. It still works as a hat so he kept it:

Badass.

SURPRISE!

Says the Party Monster.

Needed a break from everything else. I doodled his head on a thumbnail I working on, and then decided later go go and sketch his body out. I might do a more detailed rendering later, but for now heres this. The more detailed one will most likely have body parts here and there and a martini glass in one of his hands.

'class' work is starting to pick up so my time for personal work and posting on here will probably be limited to once a week. With the exception of this guy, or girl, or whatever. PARTY MONSTER!

Final Muno Designs

[Used w/ Helmet]

[New]

[Clothes]

[Muno]

So heres what i did this weekend. The final/ more high end renderings of the Muno Character. Each of them are my usual layering process in photoshop. The space suit PSD file is set up so you can turn the helmet on and off as it is in its own group. Going to go get portfolio materials printed now, peace.

Near the End...

Of two things. One being this current project. This is a slight re-design of the character Muno. I combined the older version of his character, and the recent design, into one, older looking design. This is pencil with some quick photoshop over it.

The other thing that is ending soon is school. Im all over the place with producing work, applying places, and classes. The job search is a harsh one, but must go on!

Muno Costumes

[Used]

[New]

[Work]

[Un-used]

So this is where i am right now. Ive gone ahead and started working out some costume concepts. I figure hes sort of a gear head, good at figuring things out. Of course hes probably going to wind up in space at some point, so why not a space suit? The bottem image is a suit that i drew up, and although i plan on using the helmet design later, it was pointed out that visually it doesnt look as manuverable as a space suit could be. So i did another one.

As these are concepts, they will be changed and corrected by the final version. In Fact Muno is going to be redesigned again to push him back to the sloping neck and arched back of the older version i drew previously. This will help push his silhouette back to something more interesting, hopefully. Either way the finals of these are going to look pretty sweet.

Re-designs coming soon...

Muno's Species

So i drew another version, this one a bit younger then the actual direction im looking at. Mostly playing with his species' anatomy. Humanoid with lots of reptilian influence. Although he has gills under his armpits. I realize that i like the head of the elder type version better. I guess i will go back with another re-design with that head. Although i did this without getting any designs approved first, either way all the designs will go in the portfolio as process.

Finding Muno (2)

And here are some test renders over a few pencil sketches from the previous post, once again, all are for the creature/character Muno.

So its pretty clear from what ive done so far ive narrowed the Species and look of Muno down to 2 species. One is more mammalian and the other more lizardish. Ill keep working until i come up with a good compromise. Or not, haah. Beyond the assignment my goal is to create a fully realised design that i can render different ways, including one in a space suit (thus the first image). I do like the idea of taking a main character down the "old and wise" path. That way he can have more history on him. Not to mention the "hobbit" type legacy he could have. Old , grumpy, and going on adventures.

This one was a test render over one of the simpler sketches, that probably wont make it past this stage. I may do more, as its just so silly its awesome...

I call it "FOOP"

Goodnight'

Finding Muno (1)

The following are thumbnails and sketches for the creature/character Muno. Explanation below.





These are some of the sketches for a class project i am working on. The next assignment is for a creature, Muno, who is an amphibious organism. He lives on a rain forest planet and is in the middle of the food chain. Above are the majority of the thumbnails and sketches i have been working on thus far. There will be more sketches, as i am still searching...

Having said that i did choose a few sketches to render out, to help me visualize the possibilities of the character a bit better.

*recently added another page of more refined thumbnails*

It's H.E.L.P.eR. to the rescue!

For a school weekly sketch thing, also mostly for fun. Its a robot, how could i not do it.

In other news the job search is up and running... all over the place. Soon the mailers and portfolios go out. We'll see how those go, hopefully well. If not, still planning on going west, one way or another. Schools almost done, 3 weeks and counting. No pressure.

(Go Team Venture!)

New Project

Hey, so i guess this is fan art, for some company, probably no ones ever heard of. They made a game about a world of crafty war. They are also soon going to be releasing another game about craftyness in the stars.

Did this test render last night over a sketch, currently working on a new, larger, more detailed version...

peace for now!
