recent portfolio fodder (NWS)
polycounter lvl 18
as anyone who has been in #model_design for the past week knows, i've been sharpening up my portfolio to send it off rather shortly to apply for the concept artist position at Bethesda... some new stuff, some old stuff that's been colored up and revamped. Bethesda says they're looking for examples of quick sketches as well as rendered pieces, so i'm trying to represent the whole range.
i'm not looking for any specific crits per se, but it would be good if there's any glaring issue that should be fixed on any of these or if there's some pressing reason that one should not be included, lemme know. it's been a very productive week, hope you like em
also, if you're wondering about the NWS tag, there's a possibly disturbing piece lower down involving nudity. you've got fair warning now
old piece fine tuned and colored
a sketchbook piece that i rendered up.
a robot i designed for a friend of NaruSol's that i always liked.
another rendered up sketchbook drawing
another older piece colored up
a sketch from a few months ago i cleaned up
scary android attack... heavily influenced by GitS:I
a uh... guy with a sword. and yes, i know that is not a normal place to sheath a sword, that's part of the the concept (COUGHCRICKETCOUGH)
probably my favorite from this crop, it's a vehicle design i had kicking around for UT2k4 almost a year ago that i decided to give a proper go. it's not finished yet, but its pretty close.
update: some older images that i've also polished up:

G/L with applying at Bethesda
good luck buddy, i hope you get the gig, bethesda is like 20minutes away from me!
G/l on the job buddy.
I don't have driving license, so I'll take the toilet :P
I hope to see more like the soldier, I think It's an interesting way to explore.
Good range of work here - and good look with the job

slipstream: thanks, the walking toilet concept was something i drew during class in college nearly 3 years ago. it's remained a favorite, though, so that's why i colored it up.
steady: yeah let's hope
poop: there may have been times previously where i have been lazy, but i have been working you know, you just don't get to see most of what i draw
ghost: i do in fact have a feng zhu dvd or two, but i can't really say it informs my work all that much, i haven't really given those dvds enough time yet
elysium: a pair of enormous fuzzy dice also comes standard
EQ: thanks, GitS:I is definitely one of my new all time favorites.
Brice: i think that's a good point. i like the goggles girl concept, but i should either bring it up to a higher quality or leave it out. i will also touch up the hand as you mentioned in the other drawing, i see what you mean. i'm glad you like the soldier coloring, if i have time i have a couple more sketches that i think i will render in a similar flat-color style.
jeffro: thanks a lot, man. this was rendered off of a favorite quick sketch and i worked much harder than i usually do on the coloring, particularly the face.
fat cap: thanks, i really wanted to push very vibrant colors on the girl in the dress, glad it comes off like that.
doc: i sadly do not have much enviro stuff, which i really should have been attending to, but i do have a whole lot more vehicle work that i can't show here that i will include. thanks for the comments.
bobo: thanks man, i'm hoping it will be a selling point
LtEthe: thanks, i think the truck will make it first in my portfolio and i will probably stress my mechanical design work first and foremost.
I am surprised you havent got more medieval fantasy based characters here, since Bethesda's flagship games are Elder scrolls.
Btw if/when you go for an interview check out the landscape generator for their new Elder scrolls game, its pretty amazing stuff. They also have a mad Ai system setup so each npc in game lives out there life in a fairly realistic fashion. ie working in the day - going to the pub in the evening etc
I've never seen a car from you.. that one is great. Very old and classic but modern.
sweet stuff.
Check it out, my friend Squared has a very similar toilet design: http://www.squaredconcepts.com/4-5.html
I want to model the first girl or maybe that soldier dude with mad armor and that big gun
Yus
b1ll
johnwoo: thanks, it's an incredible movie in several ways
rage: funny how that works out sometimes
b1ll: thanks mate, any concepts you feel like taking a crack at, you're more than welcome. though you've always got more than enough projects going, you're like one of those classical painters from yesteryear who would work on many canvases incrementally
i added a couple of images i've worked on since posting this thread up top. enjoy
those vehicles are just amazing really, and the soldier looks so solid, i like that unusuall sheating of a sword, gonna try that position soon
i would really like to c how you would draw a mecha robo thingie ( gundam deathscyte hell kai maybe
I may have a crack at that rolls.
