Great stuff in here as usual! Here's a study I just made, trying to focus on construction, lighting and stuff like that. I post on instagram now as well.

Fanart of Saber from Fate/Stay Night. Wanted to try to push no visible line art and more textured brushes.

Isaiah Sherman · Nov 2016

Decided I should start posting Gaimoria environment WIPs here instead of the 3D WAYWO. It makes more sense.

Anywho, here is an update to our environments. Waterfalls look nice in motion!

DavidCruz · Nov 2016

Drawn over a 3D render of a car for a game i forget the name of but the artist is there:

Just made this started it thinking nothing would come of it and i guess i surprised myself, this is more of a practice colors thing.(fixed)

Looking great Erik, you nailed the construction and lighting!

Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/5021068/uploads/editor/39/almdrjucqsrr.jpg

Thanks for the frontpage! Here's another portrait. Mostly from imagination this time, though I did use reference for the lighting and some design elements.

ErikNilsson · Nov 2016

Thanks Magnus! Some sweet faces from you too recently! Keep em comming!

Last week I started making scripts for some pixel artists in Photoshop. The one below is showing off going from an animation to spritesheet.
Also have Onion Skinning and Spritesheet to Animation so far.

Nice stuff Kay, Havnt used Clip studio but Photoshop brushes are free and there is a lot of great foliage brushes

btw, If you come from a traditional background you could always try Corel Painter ^^

Also try setting up a personal sketchbook thread in addition to posting here, its a nice way for others to go and view your compiled work!

This is great! Saw I believe I saw it on facebook. It should be OK to link it here right? or just post a link to the artstation version. Anyway good job!
