Sketchbook: Noah Carev

noahcarev

Hi there!
My name is Noah and I’ll starting my sketchbook on polycount during my game art education to track my progress. I’m focused on 2D / concept art and little bit 3D stuff I have to do in school. Critique and comments are welcome, it would be great to improve my skills with your artist power.

Let’s go!

In the game school my team created a pong based game in a medieval tavern setting. Inspired by hearthstone and the warcraft universe. I did the crowd and the background floor/assets.

Concept sketches for the crowd


This is the final illustration


How the crowd looks ingame. Sadly we had cut it above.

The Art War by Cubebrush was a huge challenge I joined in 2016/17. I did the character concepts and full illustration.

2017 – 2. Semester

Starting with the second semester at games school. This room concept I did for an intern pitch for our second game. Unfortunately, it didn't make it. I tried some light concepts for study.

This is really nice stuff man, keep it up!  The bedroom scene is great, looks really lived in and believable.

Quick sketches of some Disney Infinity characters. The original figurines I found online. Do you know who they are? (of course you know )

Traditional sketches based on references I found online. The girl on motorcycle is from Karl Kopinski, he's a great traditional painter.
I tried a new technique for scanned sketches in photoshop. It works pretty well and fast. Did you ever tried pasting images in masks?




By the way, sorry for the bad scan

A study I did last week. The Original is by Timur Mutsaev, he's portfolio is amazing! It was lot of fun to study the painting in detail and challenging tho.

Hey guys, I'm back! Here's an insight for an exam I did two weeks ago.

This one was my first idea of an asian dragon hunter.


The design inspired me so I started to do some concepts for the cloth/armor and tried a new technique for the values and color. Here're some progres steps. Have you any advice how to improve it?
