Working now with our gameproject nr2

My speculation of this building is simple. I dont want to overdo and work more on it since it will view on top. And more important is to fit with my work with other mates work style.

I kindly pressume it would look better ingame I hope.

fun fun fun...

I never get tired on mattepainting. The fantasy is so huge you can paint everything you can imagine. I find out that I suck at persp thats no good, it is like seeing in black and white but not the color. I have to understand the persp and then I have acomplished and be better than I am today. This week will only be concepting but next week I will start with the modelling.

Concept to our new feature game

This time I am going to take responsibility on environment on our upcoming rts game.

I am going to create loads of environments and will do it godlike. Right not here are some rough and fine concept. The game will be zombie,medieval hack and slash game.

My school is killing me

Two project at the same time and deadline is next week. I am now at school working with my own project. It is too much even though it is two. One is for my portfolio and one is game project with another group. I guess I need to go for 50% each. Time is important and I even dont have time to do some speedpaints. Oh what the heck here is a speedy I did.

Venice

A rough mattepaint for the assassin creed 2 competition. A concept of it should look like in 3d.

My upcoming work

Here is my concept to my character. I have 3 weeks to do it and it is going to be a mutant player that play softball very violent and doesnt care of any living coming nearby. He kills everything he sees. A little bit if running man and gamer.

Desktop wallpaper

Here is a wallpaper for those who want a big size.

bladerunner luncharea

Finally it is completed. I am quite happy with it. And here is what it looks like in-game.

I wanted the area to feel dirty and dark but the mood of the scene is red and orange style to feel you are welcome to eat here.

WIP env texture done

It looks too detailed now. I will tweak that with lighting. Tomorrow I will fix it and add some cgfx shaders to look more cooler.

Building an env from scratch

Here is a concept of how it would look like after 3d work and stuff. I have 3 weeks to do it. Reason is to put it into portfolio and show it to game companies in future.

This env is kinda mixed with chinatown,bladerunner and unreal style. I wanna have a not to dark and not to light scene but it should be dirty and sci fi kind. My goal is to have same quality as GOW.

I cant do any mattepainting anymore if...

It is becoming worse then I ever thought. I thought I could spend some time do some mattepaintings but I dont have time spending in game project at school. I am trying to find some space to do but they maximum are 1h. So I have only afford with sketch and speedpaints.

Here is the result

I am quite happy with it. Finished it for a couple of hourse ago. I hope my presentation will go well next week. I will be putting this into my portfolio. So far I have worked with it for almost 2 weeks. And this is my first character too^^

Still sculpting the details over the weekend

So far it is good. But it wasnt planned to do it all wrong. I should have a better modell but now it is mess just because zbrush crashed 12 times to not open a ztl file. I decided to begin all over again and now it worked. So it is something wrong with ztl file I dont know.

zbrushing

I have sculpted my first char in zbrush for 1,5 week now. I am thinking of putting her in a battle scene she has killed a big mecha robot and posing there with a big sniper rifle and smiling. The deadline is next week monday. I need to finish it as soon as possible.

Damn camstudio

That damn camstudio crashed when I was finished with recording a tutorial I did. Now all recorded is lost. Damn shit now I have to start over again. This tutorial following how I paint this speedy bumblebee.

Cant resist in paint...must paint something!

I got frustrated if I wouldnt paint in two days. So like everyday I paint at least one picture. But I wish I could have time to do a massive complicated paint. Now I have to go to gym or I will get fat.

Sketch

Dont have time enough and I am way lazy now after flue.

WIP2

wip2

The Judge

Doodling zbrush

Here is a wip cant wait until tmrw.

Overlord

Island

I havent done mattepaint for a while here is a new refresh start. I think more will come.

Playing with zbrush

First lesson at school sculpting a random skull.

Creating monsters and aliens are peace of cake.

Sketch

Some new sketches

I did a differense between this paints. One on left is on 100 opacity and the right is 50 opacity.

I wanted to do some research. This is just a sketch dont have to focus on details.

Train station

persp studies

Study more on persp view

I might study more about persp view. People says it is easy to do a persp paint but I dont really understand the foundation yet. How do they draw it so sharp and exactly? Thats what I need to find out.

Am I becoming better or worse?

Simply the result of me is lazy. Ive been lazy quite long time since I dont have anything to do. But the school starts not until next week, I have to keep my painting skill warm so I could have a good start. I do better get going now.

Some simple color

Some study of black and white and added last touch a random color to each paint.

Old school thing

I think I never posted this last project I did before summer starts.

This was an upgrade to an old character I did for a long time ago. Hillarious but fun to do.

Concept guy behind Transformers 2

I wanted to share something I randomly fell right into his website. His name is Josh Nizzi this guy knows how to concept robots, especially transformers. He has done a tutorial training dvd from gnomon how to concept robots. Check out his website! http://www.joshnizzi.com/

I need ideas and inspiration

What the heck am I doing now? I cant find any ideas of painting environments all I have in my mind is Team Fortress 2. That game is ruin my life almost. After my vacation I started to play a lot with my cousin. I felt that I am back to the rabbit hole again. I need some inspiration from somewhere. An good idea is go out to downtown and check stuff it usually lose a bit of thinking instead of TF2. I need to read something too or watch a movie. It didnt help when I am playing TF2 I need to lose a bit. Here is a crappy paint I did not have any idea anymore.

It is time to get discipline again

Its been a while posting my work since I have been in vacation, and after that it was hard to get back to were I ended. Well I need to slap my face hundred of times until I am happy with what I am doing now. Here is a new beginning of my work and I will continue paint as *****. Wish me luck!

Beauty

A lesson from school, painting skin. This took approx 5h

One of my first paint, painting a naked woman. I am not used to paint humans but this is a good exercise. I am painting right now an angel I will get finished next week.

Starting to get hot into painting females:D

I know that I focus on env and mech but this is also quite useful and good exercise of painting statues, females, skins all that stuff. And I usally hate soft brush but I love using it when it comes to skin. But sometimes I found out it is quite dangerous to use it too much. It become ugly so switching between soft and round I pretty get very far with it.

Always horny if I am not painting over 2 days

Sorry but it is a drug for me. When I dont paint more than 2-3 days I will get crazy even though I suck sometimes. But one thing I know is the more a paint the more I get better. So I am on a good way now. And I dont give a shit if my paint gets too corny or sux. I hate to finish half and finish the rest. I like more finish the whole set before I go to another. So here is a finish speedpaint. Doesnt matter what theme it is I just wanted to paint thats all.

How far can I go...

This time I spend some few more hours to refine the pic. Actually the first hours was quite fun but after 3hours I started to get very bored of painting the same paint. And after that I started to see a lot of fails of the picture so I tried to refined it but got just worse. Now I know how boring it is to paint all the day on the same pic. But it is just something I have to ignore it and I think about it as an exercise and color study. Right now I am studying at Dylan Cole tutorials they are awesome!

Exercise more

I tested some paintover a picture I took for 2 years ago when I were in HK.

Another day is gone

Hey I need to get motivated on stuff at school. Things are getting tight now until summer vacation started to get closer now. So there things I need to finish as soon as possible. But I am taking my day off today. So here is a speedpaint I did for 30min. I am going home now!

Stop using custom brushes

I have stopped using my lovely custom brushes because I want to become more pro on paint.

From now on I will only use round brush and soft brush.

Here are some paints I have only used these two brushes.

Gone

After my workstation died I havent worked for a while maybe two weeks now. But now I got a new workstation at school but it has not the same equipment like the other one but same software and everything. I felt that I have to restart all my skills from zero. If u have seen heroes when u know what I mean. To evolve as an artist I have to skip my custom brushes and use another technique to work my way up. This might be the last one of using custom.

Color studies

Hmm, well I soon find out the perspective over the colors I am working with. That was good our teacher taught us the palette concept. It seems that I need to study more on what color it is on objects and stuff to show how real it is. Well I need to practise a lot through my eyes and how the colors bounce through objects when the sunshine hit them. I feel that soon I am becoming more like an artist hehe. But it takes time to get there.

Tutorial-Spidertank

First try, creating a tutorial in vid.

Hey, I tried to create a good quality tutorial video. And just testing the camstudio software. It works good. My teach helped me with some modifications. First rendering of the video was 21gb big LOL! So I managed to crank it down to 60mb.
I will post up the video link of speedpaint tutorial as soon as youtube is finished with the upload.
