Thanks! Yeh, it's Photoshop. I do use brushes, but mostly for effects these days. You guessed correctly, I hand draw the image, scan it, tweek the lines, block in the colour flat - usualy using a separate layer for each body part - then paint in the light and shadow using the gradient tool.
I use brushes for finer detail, but that's about it.
Thanks again!

"Low skilled" my ass! The last two images in particular display an illustrative style that's developing well and looks great!
Don't knock yourself!

hope u ppl find it okay, man you ppl are godly!
shin: o_o ...nothing to say.. just.. wonderful.. i love that second one!
kodiak: whoa.. lovely mechanical design! haha butter-cut walls ! cool!
michael: loved that first one!!
dammit all u ppl have such a sweet illustrative painterly style :<
viag: second one, with blues and funky brushes... 0_0
EDIT:
feerik: powah!!! too bright for my tastes but i dun want to know what u can do with a longer timeframe... too cool! so much confidence in your work.. your strokes are great!
capt. fred: hehe... never forgot that old design..marching zombie robots "raaaaaar raar" >:p
stereophoenix: the DSG sketch is cool! looks like a little Calibretto-impressionist by madueria(sp?)
and Matthew: shit i got to have your discipline man... you are improving so much!! i must be more hardworking now.. im inspired!!! so many sweet pieces from you
farley: kewl:>
arcipello: saw ur work at deviantart 0_0 saw your work here.. so.. thats nothing short of amazing! such detail! wondewrful lighting, really brings out the character...
Plumb: whoa! those mecha designs and the technical shading is excellent!!!
nexus: kickass sequential!!!!! love those eyes :>

Appleseed?
Great sense of action in that image, I can feel the energy in the explosions.

no... appleseed by: shirow massamune? creator of ghost in the shell? that genius? haha.. appleseed is 'slave-mtion' concept.. mines just a 'mobiel doll' :>
anyway thanks so much!!
not muhc robotica.. more like parts.. was trying to be atmospheric.. once more, i failed. i dont understand how you ppl plan your work to hold emotional qualities? the biggest challenge for me is colours... they can do so much, but when u dont understand you just shoot yourself in the foot >_<
i need to explore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /me waves fist
this is a oilrig-type base out at the far reaches of a post-apocalyptic shore... the mist is just floating in, so for the meantime the bay is quite clear!
i always have this fear of using too many colours.. somehow to me that doesnt work for my shit pics.. so i max out at about 3-4 colours, but vary the tones... so...
hopefully some of you guys can drop a tip or two? paintover my pics to hell? anything! thanks! |

Yeah !!  UkiTakuMuki is back. Nice to see you again in my new Robot Thread, I was gonna ask for you in this Thread but then you showed up.
I decided to leave my Mecha Thread and then make a Robot Thread instead cause I think my Mechas looked like Robots anyway ....hehe.
btw Thank you Uki for comment my work. Your platform and robot is supernice.
buki - you are not flooding those are great.
Bob - Thank you.
And as always, all the Robots is Awesome, keep em coming.
Here�s my latest, a pencil sketch I made with an HB pen and a 4H for the darker outlines. the back is black ink. You can probably see from Whom I got my inspiration.
Keep the Robots alive and running

hey, thank you all =)
UkiTakuMuki: I think the last one doesn't have any disadvantages because it has only a few colors. Looks cool to me.
balistic: i love the first one. nice colors
Daniel: you should post your other robot-pictures. But this comicrobot still looks cute =)
nexusnet: hey, this comic page looks damn good.
lunatic: the last one is just awesome. How do you create those clean grandients? Do you use the grandient tool, or did you take the brush + much time?

Now, these are really old and I truly regret not having any recent stuff to post but still they are robots so for the sake of filling this thread with color I post them...
(this one is an unfinished painting)
This one actually is not that old. It was a concept for the propeller thread that never happened to be rendered:

Now, this one is not capable of killling hundreds of people in a glimpse ... in fact he ist not even capable of picking up the cube in front of him without beeing plugged to a 3inch cable ...

Good work there Daniel Lieske, this certainly boosted my inspiration up with 100%. More Robots for tomorrow.
viag - thank you
Tomasis - thank you
Here�s one of my old ones, posted in an own Thread in December I think it was. or maybe January, can�t remember. It can be seen on my site.
Keep up the Robot technology

daniel lieske: 0__0'' ..wow. you do love multiple colorued lighting sources dont u :p i love those concepts of yours!! so much shirow inspiration from those.. (thats how i feel, not saying anyting) I especially love the flight mecha, for the propellor thread. Now thats very policenauts and gundam! cooool! That has to be the coolest mecha design ive seen in a loong loong time. no sucking up > just plain serious(5 of my friends think so too). dammit, if tha was a game model..... for some mod or something... dammit! ;0~~
matthew: keep up the good work! i like your pure digital paints much more though.. they have a more complete feel... i dunno.. i guess im starting to like pure digital paints as well... i hope i practise hard enough so it comes easier to me! |

With the gradient tool. I usually lay down a flat colour to start with and then layer up opaque -to-transparent gradients on-top of that. I also use heavily feathered lasso selections as well to give the appearance of curved surfaces.
I suppose it's a bit like water colour really - building up washes of semi-transparent colour to create a sense of depth.

UkiTakuMuki - Thank you Yeah I think I am starting to get a better grip on my wacom pen now, but I have to keep drawing all the time cause otherwise I will forget how to draw ...hehe.
Good work there Bob
Here�s another one from me, I painted and laid out all the detail but I wanted it to look more simplified so I throwed on one filter in the end process and it made the robot to look kind of chunky, what do you Robot creators think? is it a throw in the recycle bin or should I keep it?
Let the Robot force Flow
