hello sir im interested in the brushes that you have used, I saw u shared Discrod links with ppl but that invite seems to have expired and I cant join ur discord community cuzz of that.
This is awesome! Would you say that your "Skillbuilder" course is for beginners? I'm coming from a sculpturist background but when I try to capture something in 2D I completly suck. When doing linework for example there are a lot of volumes that are just implicit or sugested with a couple of lines and not drawn completly, how do I approach this mindset? Thanks again for this awesome videos.
It looks like you painted a Harkonnen or Atreides soldier, or something that would fit in the Dune universe :D Why do you have three cyan layers? I can't remember what you do with the other two.
I definitely see that! That wasn't the conscious intent but I totally see it. I think the multiple cyan layers were overlays and I kept copying them because they made the effect more intense each time. Just sort of trying what works and going with it :)
Oh no, I hope that's not the tone this struck. I think there is a degree of putting a business interest ahead of your own creativity when working as a production artist but, for what it's worth, I've found that the vast majority of the art directors who I've worked with (even for the bigger corpo style companies) have really valued creativity and uniqueness in the art that we produce. I know that pro artists do get steamrolled, but not always - I think we can become marketable and successful as producers of art with mass appeal without totally selling out or erasing our identity. This was a good wake up call for me to do a self check - thanks for the comment.
That would be fun! I think it might be piling on at this point since the video game art community has collectively crucified this game but I can't say they are wrong. Thanks for the suggestion and I may have to take you up on that.
You have such awesome art skills. I wonder the amount of years and hours it took for you to get to this level. I don't know if i can reach this level but videos like this give me a little hope that maybe just maybe i can be awesome at character concept art someday and reach a pro level(regardless of all the AI related fear many of us have). Also, as another comment suggested I would love some videos on the actual process flow that goes into making a character concept art/design. I think that would be awesome and u r pretty good at explaining things too.
Thanks! I appreciate the recommendation and I'll definitely do one along those lines. I have been doing this for quite a while now (about 15 years) but I don't think it necessarily takes that long to get proficient. Thanks for checking this out - cheers!
