Sijun Forums :: View topic - two sci-fi illos

Mon · Posted: Fri Feb 20, 2004 1:08 pm

two new pieces that i really can't put in the speedpaint thread.

Here is an early version of the character lineup, if you like looking at that kind of stuff.

This next one i painted in photoshop, with an actual sketch to start with. The sketch got into everything on the piece, I spent more time chasing it around than painting... But i think i'm getting used to working in PS now, that's a good thing.

Wow. It's really cool that you've nailed the whole Painterly style in Photoshop too.

Thanks everyone! Very Happy

NATEDOG> no, it's a resurrected, but to be honest there's really no telling them apart Wink

that illo is for a game with all these folks in it, so using a borg wouldn't be the best idea...

cheers!

Yeah, great work Mon - I really like that reflection in the red on the squid plant thing. (I fall for details)

Good stuff Mon. I like the second one especially, the colors, the economic brush strokes and how you define form with them. Classy.

YVerloc · Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2004 1:47 pm

Mon, those are beautiful. The lineup characters remind me a lot of John Schoenherr. You've captured the looseness of some of his Analog pen and ink illos. Nice! The creature is wicked. That blue skin is so nicely rendered, it makes me want to cry.
Cheers!
