I took y'alls advice re: the perspective problem in my last pic and tried to get it right in this one. It's still sloppy as hell but everything I do is. =(



No need to be gentle! Bash away if you have something to say! I will be grateful and learn from anything said.

I like it. Looks to me to be some sort of a futuristic artic base or something, with a little ramp to drive your snowmobilevehicle into shelter during the hard storms.... Just one question: Where are the cute polarbears??

I would turn down the dogde/burn effect you got going. I can see that you're going for the weathered/old look, but this just look like bad use of tools... The drawing itself is strong enough to do well on its own...

HEY MATT! Lee Perry here. Looks bad ass man! Where are you at now?

#1) Thanks for the comments, mates! Your words are appreciated as always.

#2) BooM I'll take your advice on my next piece and not blow it out so much. Besides I hope to begin coloring them soon!

#3) LEE!!!!!! Hey hey old buddy-o! Oh man I hope you don't remember me too much from the ION days. I was a little unhappy about the way things were going there so most people there probably remember me pretty negatively. =(
Since then I worked with Eric and Jerry at MisfitBeach and we did Patenaude's Elvis In Dogtown project... you can see my animation on it here: http://www.abstractreality.com/portfolio/gallery/avis/avi_elvisindogtown.html
or the full Flash demo and chopped up rendered demo here: http://www.misfitbeach.com

and of course my "official" art page is here: http://www.abstractreality.com/art

DO YOU have a webpage, Lee? I'd love to see it and link to it if you do.

OH and I've been at Verant/Sony Online Entertainment since October... here in San Diego. I'm doing all the in-game/frontend interface work for Sovereign. I'm pretty happy here and I expect to be here for a while...

Please reply with a link to your site! I'm sure you have one!

Sadly enough I don't have a site right now, getting a damned DSL is rediculous. I could commit a felony and have an easier time getting an UZI than getting someone to set me up with some decent bandwidth!

Hehe, and I think most people remember everyone at some point or another being unhappy there. If they weren't disgruntled, give it a month.

Post more! That shot looks like it should be part of a series, no?

Again, I will heed your words my friends and thanks again for them.

As far as why I do these things - I'm primarily a 3d artist and these little sketches are just to try to improve my conceptual skills. This is an example of a drawing I would do for say, an RTS or something... More than anything I notice that the best artists draw a lot. So I am trying to do the same... trying to draw frequently hoping to improve in quality over time.

The comments people make here help a lot. A fabulous forum. Though I wish I could respond to posts without bumping because sometimes I want to respond here, like right now, for example - but without seeming like I'm constantly bumping my own post.

Thanks for checking that out (the animation)! Those characters were designed by Brian Patenaude http://www.brianpatenaude.com - quite a zany guy.

I just turned 26 and I am going to draw CONSTANTLY until I am 30. I hope by then, to be a very good conceptual artist.
