Sketchbook: JohnnySix
polycounter lvl 16
As an aid to push me down the road of self-improvement here's a selection of things old and new I've been working on.
I guess I should post 2d first, being as it's probably one my my weakest areas, particularly when it comes to anatomy.
2d:
Some concept images for a UT3 Nali Cow character :
A duck
A cat
A Pyramid
Another Cat :
3d :
Low poly scene.
Fail Bear :
Based on this.
Low poly UFO animation assets :
Animation :

Practica built in max, rendered in ortho and turned into pseudo pixel art
Low poly Delorean WIP

Animated progress
@ Ged - Yeah, I was going for speed, ended up taking about 3 hours, 4 or so with redoing the face - hopefully the second version has a better likeness.
Updated McFly :
Progress (can't make the .gif stop at the end!)
Cottage thing :
Anim of painting
mmm, some random furries :
Finished Delorean
Wires :
Mountain :
Random doodle turned into Harry Potter.
WIP brush pack :
I like this, it has a very Baderunner/Shadowrun feel to it.
@ Lom - thanks, I need to figure how to get decent perspective looking things by eyeballing, the background ended up more 2d than I planned.
Had a quick play tonight, looking over some apophis stuff earlier made me think of making an action in PS to quickly mirror one half of an image onto another - will use this more I think to try make some more characters, as my draughtsmanship is shoddy at best.
Behold polybot.
And a couple earlier this morning, nothing really finished as such.
PolyBot The Adam-a Strain UT3 FTFW! XD Dood I can totally see you pulling this one out the canvas and unto the battlefield.
Haha, could be an interesting rigging test- never really done inorganic things!
Here's tonights quick brainfart, he got too close to the camera.
WIP - based on this:
Another random quick sketch :
This weekend my drawing skills got even worse playing in flash animating a Doug Stanhope bit :

And an attempt for the concept tag thread I decided not to submit :
lol yeah
Was seeing what I could turn the eagle into.
The last few drawings have been random scribbles mirrored then turned into whatever they seem to resemble in my head.
Last one for tonight, turned into an Ork.

Also, great work on these. Even the rougher ones have a lot of character.

Pzychaoz - Thanks! Was trying my hand at brush sets and this was my first attempt at fur.
Oh yeah, did a timelapse of the troll

As for your 3D stuff you've posted, there's room for improvement in the UV-map packing, meaning that you can optimize it and therefter gain more resolution. And if you want help with the optimizing, feel free to PM me your UV and hopefully I can guide you
On your first page I saw a try on perspective on a landscape - and that's the way you want to head. Try drawing characters in a 3/4 and you'll learn alot aswell!
Keep pushing yourself man, and keep it up!
I had a go from a photo tonight, trying to get better at forms :
It's hard though, not letting your mind take over and draw what it wants to draw , rather than what you see.
I rarely do any painting unless it's specifically for texturing though my instructors are trying to break me of that I suspect....lol
looking awesome man!
@crashadams - Thanks man, would encourage you to do more sketches/2d stuff, and be free with what you do, far easier to knock out 20 drawings than model something and change it after the fact.
@ Eoq - Thanks - yeah, that's the hard part, not drawing symbols of stuff, like drawing all the lines of the nose/lips/eye.

Some randoms from the past month or two -
Robot based on a photo of a traffic camera that looked like a robot :
Some Concept tag entries :
Based on Equil's Penis tower :
Based on Mr Cakes's thing :
This was odd - drawn without ref (except for the puppet -again based off a CT ticket ) and ended up with a resemblance of someone I know.
Blah- added dragon
Most recent - alien fish thing
