that first one is so well done it really freaks the shit out of me and I have to scroll past it immediately

nice stuff man

Delaney King · Aug 2008

I used to date her.

Kidding.

Thanks man.

Lord McMutton · Aug 2008

Now that's how the Daleks should've looked. Great concepts.

Thegodzero · Aug 2008

The chin line on the second one bugs me to no end... Its crooked!

Daleks FTW!!!!
I still like the slight revamp they got on the show a bit more though. Just something about crabfu and daleks that just doesn't seem rite.

Great stuff! I thought I was going crazy when your avatar blinked. Had to stare at it for awhile.

these are awesome - i love that girl in the cockpit.. it makes me want to see the rest of the vehicle

SHEPEIRO · Aug 2008

real nice,
bet she was one heck of a kisser

Snowfly · Aug 2008

Wow Dave sweet 2D work. I love looking at all the different surface types in them, you've captured their characteristics very well. The machine concepts are neat, I also wish we could see more of the machine connected to that cockpit!

Delaney King · Aug 2008

Thanks y'all.

Kawe · Aug 2008

looks great. a question.. how long time do you spend on your concepts?

pumbaa · Aug 2008

Yupp awesome stuff man. I dont know if I should laugh hysterically or just throw up looking at the first one

Davidskiwan · Aug 2008

loving it all man, really like the colours you use. In particular I like the fish in the water, the atmospherics and design are top notch. I can definitely see a style in your design too, for some reason the 3rd one reminds me of Giger. Ofc loving that dalek,

Great work! I really like your use of color and Depth of Field. The organic lines of your mecha designs are beautiful also - amazing!

Mark Dygert · Aug 2008

Amazing stuff as usual

I really like the last one...

BradMyers82 · Aug 2008

Wow, I really like that red demon. It looks like a fancy 3d render you did so well with it. Everything looks fantastic!

By the way, I would also love to hear how much time you spent on these.

Snefer · Aug 2008

the first concept is one of the nastiest things I have ever seen. In a good way

Really like the spaceship/jungle image too, awesome!

bluekangaroo · Aug 2008

those are some pretty nice concepts King. The first one really reminds me of one of the lady monsters from Parasite Eve 2

Cheerz all.

How long? The girl with a bad cold took the longest- she started as a pencil sketch in 1997, then I kept going back every now and then and painting over her. Probably two days if I added it all up.

Hatch took a day from scratch- probably 11 am through to 10pm with breaks.
Green creature took 3 hours- I had to finish it before lunch time.

Designs are roughed out and developed in an hour or so, then their surfaces are detailed in and polished. This takes the longest- most clients just want shaded sketches.

I am taking on comissions at the mo- would love it if people would pass me up to their art directors

Minos · Sep 2008

Amazing stuff mate.

achmedthesnake · Sep 2008

- awesome stuff dave , you still in auz - or have you finally got tired of whinging 1st year artists :P

- i had a question if your still floating around - the last concept, is that meant to be a take on some kind of dr who dalek? if so cool, i always thought that their original weakness was shite (stairs) - but then the new dr who series made that mute by them being able to rocket away!

Delaney King · Sep 2008

Heh, yeah it is. Its a paint of a sketch I did when I heard there was a new series coming out. These Daleks wouldnt fit the tone of the current show, but a much more gothic, dark, cliff hangery type show I had hoped for when I heard the announcement.

"EL-EV-ATE." Was for me the second lamest moment in sci-fi after Darth 'Frankenstein' Vaders "nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!" or perhaps rockets coming out of R2D2.

I wanted Daleks that scared the BEJESUS out of people- so these ones can crawl, cut, shred, hover, leap, take up walls, snake their sucker claws around things and generally do a lot of damage. I like the idea that whenever they enguage the hover mode, their skirt has to break open and unfold a little- the idea being it takes up a heap of energy to do.

I disliked the Dalek design from that American pilot book- I wanted something that was instantly recognisable as Dalek.

I am based in Sydney Australia, now, and happy to poke whinging students whenever they would like.

Delaney King · Sep 2008

Mind you, Tom Baker chuckling 'if your so superior, come up here' from an airvent was gold.

Delaney King · Sep 2008

Heres another one- a speed paint. Dont ask what I was thinking.

achmedthesnake · Sep 2008

hmm, i dont have a clue wtf that is.....though those protruding things have a very phallic theme going on - nice!

Proxzee · Sep 2008

premium stuff! how do you paint your human skin?

New concepts and some old polished ones!
