Environment Concepting Video [Short]
Hey guys!
I've been following polycount for quite a while and never had the courage to post my stuff up at all. I suppose it's a kind of an artist's common dilemma when everything you create looks like shit the next day you check it.
Aanyway i've always liked watching other artists' painting workflows and so last summer during some boring evening i decided to try recording a short test video to see if people liked it and to find out if prople would want to see more. I never came to show it around though until now.. I thought you guys might be interested and perhaps even like it. Do tell if i should make more - full videos (with commentary). I might even do it at some point after DW5!
The video: http://www.primalbrush.com/project_hightech/
Apologies about the 1pp/short duration..

Great video, thanks for posting. Would love to see you painting that environment too.
And yeah it would be nice to see you take something to a 100% finished/polished kick ass state.
p.s. what's that music? I really enjoyed it.
@d1ver: the artist is Koan - i often listen to this kind of music while im chillin' and doing artsy stuff (all the time)
I learnt alot just from that little video! Thank you very much
more would be awesome!
On top of that you have a strong grasp over color as well.
However, this piece: http://www.primalbrush.com/process_01.html in particular seams a bit weak on the texture side compared to your other work. Maybe consider featuring some of your other work on the front page?
The rust is pretty uniform. A more controlled specular highlight on the surface and less uniform distribution of grime and rust might help more clearly convey the material.
Just a thought.
Please make more of these videos, you inspired me to draw for an hour this morning.
Nice vid! You've got some good tricks in there.
Do you plan on doing another video where you take it from that state to final?
@stickadtroja:
True! Nowadays i tend to draw a bit more freehand using the rotation tool. Before that drawing straight accurate lines to certain directions were a real pain. New cintiq helps a bit as well.
@jocose:
Thank you! That one was the first ever 'proper' asset i did from start to finish. I picked up modeling late 2009 / early 2010. Nowadays i do 3D almost every day (working on mobile games) and have picked up quite a few new tricks. Will just have to see how i do in pre-DW5 as it's a kind of a personal test (and a lot of fun).
Thanks man!
I had a look over your site, you have some really nice art dude!
Cool song too, what was it?
It's Koan - The Last Samurai
@vofff: new stuff is in the works, but it'll take a while!
I have a few questions though:
What program was used to record?
I use an Intuos 3 Tablet and find making straight lines in certain directions very difficult. As a result I've become attached to shift click + shift click or the line tool, do you have a similar problem or have you worked around it? I only ask because I feel as though I should be able to draw without using these tools, but I'm not entirely sure I can. The angle required to make the line stroke are just odd to do for my wrist/hand.
