Blaze's Sci-Fi & Steampunkish Heads
polycounter lvl 7
Hello,
just wanted to showcase something I did last year.
The project started as a bunch of gigeresque t-shirt designs I was making in free time.
But at some point someone told me that there would be a SF & fantasy convention in my city and that perhaps I could display this kind of artworks there.
So I contacted one of organizers.
They liked the idea and said it was a shame I didn't come earlier cos they probably would've wanted to hire me to do stuff like posters etc.
We decided on 12 50x50cm prints and 2 70x70cm prints.
The problem was, I had only 10 days to finish everything.
At that point most of pics were rather sketchy and low res.
So I worked like crazy and just stopped when there was absolutely no time left.s
The theme of convention was Cyberpunk & Steampunk so I wanted to make 7 sci fi heads and 7 (sorta) steampunkish heads.
In the end I had to use more sci fi ones since I got more of them done.
I was also hoping to add some color (and all kinds of other things) but there just was no time and organizers liked b&w versions.
So here are some photos of the exhibit, taken by my dad:
Design of some pieces admittedly isn't very well thought of and some recycling is visible but under these circumstances I'm happy with what I managed to achieve.
I must say it's awesome to get to see your art in physical form, even if it was born from pixels.
Here's a few of digital versions:
(as you can see I didn't even have time to finish cleaning up the backgrounds![:\](https://polycount.com/plugins/emojiextender/emoji/twitter/confused.png ":\")

Thanks for checking!

Great work, well done!
I do make full body character designs occasionally, I'll probably make a separate thread for it.
As for selling, I have been thinking about that (though I know it would be mostly just pocket money) Do you by chance know any sites that offer relatively good conditions?
There's one guy who has a startup company that aims to sell high quality t-shirts designed by professionals. He wanted me to get me onboard, however the conditions he's offering to artists are pretty bad. He wants exclusive t-shirt usage for design(s) and split profit 15% for artist 75% for him.
Though when I looked at other t-shirt sites terms weren't great either.
Anyway, here's one more head:
I made an updated color version of one of paintings, also with a background.
I basically aimed for something that's not monochrome but has a color subtle enough that it retains the feeling that b&w versions had:
It can also be seen on my artstation:
