Developing some pixely art for a project
Guess this is sorta a sketch :poly122:
rogueNoodle: Loving that little space dude.
Heres a commisioned illustration i finished up a few weeks ago. Its for a table top gaming figure. Can't wait to see the model version.
Two more:
this one was mostly a improvised color study of sorts, man so much good stuff here, I shooould get back to 3D though
Shut up and take my money...
This one was a little more distorted than most, but fun to get your head around.
@ Fightpunch, that robot with six legs by the river is badass.. How'd you learn to draw like that!? :-)
It kinda reminds me of how Craig mullins drew back in the days of the game Marathon, before he polished his pieces

@tacitmath-awesome as always,how long does it usually take you to make one of those concepts?
btw it's a wacom bamboo tablet and I'm loving it so far.. but the pen nib is wearing down very fast, anyone has this problem too?

edit : something like 1h on this one
swizzle: Dig it! on the first head, her lips are pulled back and down a bit; minor fix will add a ton imo
