Well its a really nice axe, texture looks solid, and I dont know if I really care about people posting 3D here or not. I guess as long as we dont spam the thread with 3D its ok. I have no secret wish to be a dont-post-that-3D-stuff-on-this-thread-police.
About the drones: Thanks, yeah number 2 is probably the "final" got a neat balance to it.
I think its okay with some 3d if its haindpainted stuff due it focus mainly on texture instead of the 3d model. Don't think sculpts and highpoly stuff would fit in this thread. But thats just my take on it, if you guys would rather stick to just 2d ill stop posting 3d stuff.
Those turrets look damn sexy Erik. I wonder if you guessed the colours on that study, or just picked them? If you guessed, then beautiful colors, and nice face nevertheless.
you really nailed the skin color on the first one and i really like the sketchiness of it. The skin color on the second image is really booring compared to the first one.
Thanks man, they are different styles. In the first one I painted the skin "painterly" with opacity and flow. The second one is just a cellshaded style with three colors.
There are some really nice designs here Erik. The blue hologram panel on that helmet reads very well. Also, the crowned angel above has a very nice flow to it I think.
Doing more 3d lately so not so much time for painting but manage to paint this recently. I don't call it finished yet, if i will work more on it i would add some more detail and maybe refine parts. Also i'm pretty sure the perspective is of on the legs. The last image is having motion blur on the shells but its very subtle. Btw great work guys keep it upp.
"Morning" quickie, was a whole lot of fun to make. An orbital strike satellite. It kind of lacks stuff to defend itself with, and I guess it should have more sensors, but I wasn't pursuing a practical look with this one.
nice aleon, the space really looks silent and stuff. but yeah stars
really like that character erik, she looks awesome
sweet colours there TF, it looks awesome with the buildings kinda like crumbling and going into the portal, if that's what's going on. If so, some more particles in the air would look dope
day 111
Still working on this guy. need to polish the background abit more, render the front banner and thinking about reworking his mouth and eyes (mainly his dark holes and the eyes with the blue iris)
Yeah the stars are kind of missing. The reason I didn't include them was the lack of them on my reference. It also makes a lot of sense. If you are looking at the sun from space (where atmospheric effects don't even tone the brightness down), a human eye might be able to (I doubt, but I'm no expert) have enough dynamic range to incorporate the sun, and the stars in the background. But when the footage is taken with a normal camera there is no way it can tune itself for such large differences in brightness.
On the other hand black space is the way to go IMO. I can't help it but I think the shiny, bright, nebulae (at least what people think a nebulae looks like...) backgrounded space scenes not just look stupid, but they are kind of ugly too.
If that sounded a bit harsh sorry, but I'm all out for getting more people portrait space in a realistic way.
Hot dam awesome stuff guys!
Aiconix, that pic is pure awesome! I just love the lights. I'm trying to be constructive here but that one is really well made
Nice designs there too, aiconix. I love the dude with the gun.
TF, the BG looks nice, but I feel like the guy in the front lacks depth compared to how close he is to the camera. Love the idea tho.
I missed uploading a few stuff, but here are 2 desert color study quickies from today (Day 44)
Honestly I lost interest when playing the 3rd one. Their faces was just so twitchy and awkward. and the ending was quite underwhelming. Playing Swotor and GW 2 now, so awesome.
lost my interest for the game in the earth mission but overall i think its a fantastic game and one of my favourite game series. kinda that i couldn't have jack in my party in ME3, she was my favourite character

Twoflower: Nice dude, altough I liked it more when there was less detail in the background. Maybe some blur would work well here?
Aleon: Nice studies, cool colors.
Now that I have reached 200 im gonna take it a bit more chill, my wrist needs to rest a bit. Will keep making small doodles on paper everyday though.
here is somthing you might find interesting: [ame="
thanks aleon
Looks good TF, I think some more war grime in the bg could make it more battlefieldy.
Accompanied by some nostalgic music:
