My entry to the ArtWar contest over at CubeBrush. Not super happy with it, but I wanted to practice doing a splash-art type illustration. Would do a lot differently next time, process wise, so it was good practice.

LoganFeliciano · Feb 2017

Aima, The Blood Siphon. This painting is part of a series I've been working on.

@Muzzoid thanks man.

Awesome work in here as usual everyone.

Here's a fire knight dude that I started a while ago and just finished up.

ErikNilsson · Mar 2017

This started out as a Barontieri Master/Skin color/Workflow study but got a life of its own, a lot of fun, even tough its rough I think it helped me grow quite a bit as an artist:

jamescloudy · Mar 2017

Hey Polycount,
I thought I'd share my latest Lovecraft inspired piece.
Cheers!

EricElwell · Mar 2017

@seework Looks moody! Do you have plans for this one? Looks like it would be a fun 2.5D animation
@ErikNilsson Cool! Are you working from a particular tutorial/method from Barontieri? I remember checking out his brushes almost 10 years ago now, but I don't recall specific tutorials or workflow breakdowns. I'd definitely be interested in checking out that workflow.

For funzies character styling:

Arcadehero · Mar 2017

Did a freelance contract last week, here's a pirate I worked on for that

seework · Mar 2017

@EricElwell Thanks man! I was thinking about it but I'm not happy with the painting so I don't know yet

ErikNilsson · Mar 2017

@EricElwell Thanks! And naaah, just a study of one of his old paintings

First post! I have certainly been helped by Polycount in the past when trying to learn some 3D stuff, but this is the first time I participate. Lovely work all around. This is for a personal portfolio project. The main character of an Aztec/Mesoamerican inspired (fake) RPG. Thanks!

Arcadehero · Mar 2017

This one is still a work in progress

Latest image from the series I've been working on. Màt’ergenu, The Life Spinner. From deep within the depths of worlds unheard and unspeakable, all manner of beast and dark incarnations spawn forth to plague humanity. But, they are not born like you. They are molded, sculpted into existence, painfully. With her very being, Màt’ergenu endlessly creates monsters and abominations in an effort to recreate her child, now lost to the abyss. “There can not be growth, without pain, nor life without death.”

Stinkhorse · Mar 2017

I'm experimenting with a new art style for my capitalist/debt centrist dungeon crawler. This currently takes six or so layers per object that I want to have the visual style. I'd much rather figure out a method where the various layers respond to the intensity of the tone I paint down, fading in and out according too the light and shadow.

Arcadehero · Mar 2017

In the interest of moving on I'm calling this one done

LoganFeliciano · Mar 2017

Hey everyone! This is the latest image that's part of the series I've been working on for the past few months.

Absolutely power corrupts absolutely, and even angels are no exception to this. Puraniisil was an angel of swift justice. Agile with her pike, blessed by the Makers, nothing could stand against her, not until she came up against the Queas'cith, a giant predator of enormous power and destruction, laying waste to human villages and cities in its path. Puraniisil fought the creature for 3 days, the land forever scarred from their long battle. When the dust had settled, the Queas'cith lay lifeless. Deep inside, Puraniisil could feel its great power pulsing, whispering, calling to her. "This monster was born from evil, best to leave it be." Her resolve was strong, but the urge grew stronger, the desire increased, almost unbearably so. I could...use this power for good. Imagine the lives I could save, I could change the world such a power. She reached her hand into the carapace of the dead beast and grasped its heart. The surge she felt was euphoric, enlightening, overwhelming even, but then it quickly changed to pain, fear, and then darkness took her. From that day, Puraniisil was never the same.

The irony of a sophisticated machine built for what is effectively medieval warfare is palpable
