Sketchbook: BeccatheRose/Becca Hallstedt

beccatherose · Nov 2015

Hi guys! New artist here

Here's my digital sketchbook thread, so I guess most sketches and WIPs will be here!
I'm a game artist in Chicago that mostly does concept art for props, creatures, and characters, along with hand-painted texture stuff and occasional modeling. Feel free to say hi to me, and I'm always open to C&C.

You can find me at my Artstation: http://artstation.com/artist/beccahallstedt
and at my website: http://beccahallstedtdesign.com/
and in my 2D Art Thread: http://polycount.com/discussion/160533/beccatherose-2d-art-thread#latest

Thanks!

Some digital studies. It's really nice to take time to sketch on small pieces like this.

Working on the owl's extras a bit. Feels really good to use some of my industrial design sketching skills to use, hah!
The tiniest, cutest messenger bags.

Always doodling.
I'm really enjoying this range that's stylized-realisticish. It's fun. Doing small sketches like this is super relaxing, too.

Rory_M · May 2016

great stuff! i love the personal portraits.

beccatherose · May 2016

@Rory_M
Thanks, man! They're one of my favorite things to sketch, it's easy to just be playful and throw personality in.

beccatherose · May 2016

Wanted to share a new WIP! Feeling really good about this one and trying some new design/sketching workflow biz.

Coming along smoothly, probably going to redo the smoke on the shoulders about 100 times. Really feeling myself move forward with this one!

Thanks, man! I appreciate it c:

Aluvay · Aug 2016

There is some great work here, I agree with @AtticusMars that windmill is awesome!

quockhanhlk · Aug 2016

Very interesting works here, love the owl piece is it finish yet ?

beccatherose · Aug 2016

@Aluvay Thanks, I'm hoping to finish it soon! I keep getting distracted. XD
@quockhanhlk It is indeed! You can see it on my 2D art thread or my artstation c: there are some lighting adjustments that I might make on it at some point, but it's pretty much done!

Vie · Aug 2016

Keep it up, some great work here! I really like the robot with the smoky shoulders

Robots are hard! I've been working on that myself. Anyhoo, always great to see some nice progress!

St4lis · Aug 2016

That windmill looks really good. It doesn't really make sense as a windmill though, because it can't turn. If you search "windmill" on google images, you'll see that all of them can be rotated to face the wind.

beccatherose · Aug 2016

Just finished this up for Patreon! I've been wanting to do a study of a Greek sculpture for a while, so this was super fun

I've really been wanting to get into environment paintings (hence the Squire project concept) so here are some thumbnails that I felt relatively positive about!

Work in progress! I'm starting to realize that I haven't been investing enough time into the design side of my characters and I rush into color. Intentionally spent more time just working on the lines!
