Sketchbook: Meldyran

Meldyran

Hello everyone!

Finally mustered the courage to put my work up.I feel like I need all the help that I can get, both improving some of my past work and with developing stuff.


Where I stand now, I've always felt like I am more of a painter, having had an emphasis in traditional art for the most part. Though I am keenly aware that design, and not painting, is the foundation to concept art. So I've been really trying recently to think more and harder about the things that I make.

I'll try to keep this thread updated with work, both finished and in progress. Please feel free to give me any and every advise you think might be useful. I'm here to grow and I'm ooking forward to getting to know all of you.

Culture kit for a pirate town had a lot of fun with this one

cant believe I'm the first person commenting on this sketchbook, needless to say amazing stuff throughout. I especially love your use of vibrant colors, they really bring all your concepts to life. I could prob rave on some more about these images, but your probably more interested in critiques so ill try and think of something helpful to say. the most immediate issue I see, and i think its probably debatable whether the issue lies with me, is that some of the characters your posted a while back are kind of hard to recognize as good or evil? its hard to pinpoint why exactly im having this difficulty but perhaps it has to do with their facial expression.

that's just my 2 cents though, hopefully you find it in some small way helpfull lol. anyways, great sketchbook, for sure subecribed!

Thank you so much for your feedback! Actually that is something that someone else has also mentioned to me about those characters, so youre likely right about it being an issue! Sometimes I hve some trouble with intention and clarity

Thank you for your feedback!

Wooo! This stuff is super cool. I especially like this one, I just kept noticing more and more things about it. Those architecture shape studies were interestingly informative.
