2D environment concept

Started Late... I wasn't very interested in entering the UC but I thought "Hell, why not".

Please be honest and if need be, harsh with your comments. I'm not searching for sprinkled sugar on top a pile of poop cause in the end its still poop. Please dont hold back, especially if it seems like a bad idea or holds no attractive appeal to the criteria Im suppose to follow. Obviously my intentions are to design something of extreme misery and horror. Evil is the name of the game, back to the drawing board.

Good Luck to all the contestants entering the Unearthly Challenge.

Sketching my concepts now. I will post ASAP so I can actually have some crits coming my way.

sweet? hah!

Which concept are you starting from? That should be the first thing you post here.

WickedFingers · Sep 2008

I could have read the rules and regs wrong but isn't the concept references only for the 3D side of the competition. I thought if you choose to do Concepts Art that your "artistic chains are broken" leaving me completely free to design anything I desire...?

haha, oh man sorry, i didnt see the little 2d bit there, my bad.

jordan! make my legs quiver?

Extension to November 10th? I guess I could have enough time to finish... Ok I'm back in.

WickedFingers · Oct 2008

Ok, I've worked on a basic sketch of what I would like to go with. The sky has already been worked on as far as color overlay but I'm still messing with it so I didn't post the sky. I'll post a sky update tomorrow.

It's very organic at the moment but I plan on changing that. I'm still adding walkways, platforms, bridges, docking bays, statues and other structures to the scene. That's about it for now. Crits 'n' Rips welcome Plz...

Crits 'n' Rips welcome Plz...

Update from yesterday

Ok, here's the sky overlay I promised for today. I still plan on adding additional detail to the clouds/musk, but I'll get to that later. The large orange egg shaped domes are the structures that will be supporting docking bays and such...

I like the pencil work, subject matter is involving too. i honestly like it.

you have the voice of an angel with a talkbox.

onwards and upwards my fine shrew.

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

Updating progress from a couple days ago. I really need to buckle down on this or I'm not going to finish :P

RazorBladder · Nov 2008

Shit tonnes of potential Fingers, hope you get this done even if you don't reach the deadline.

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

Working really hard on this one... Only 3 hours of sleep the past couple days... ugg!

I don't have enough time to post right now cause I gotta head out to work. I'll post an update tomorrow.

doomstagg · Nov 2008

its like the city of the giant butt plugs...pretty f'n evil.
But seriously, Its really cool. You have a lot of detail, I want to see it paitned.

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

Painting it now... Running off of fumes... Can't go on much longer... Not much sleep... Seeing things moving through the walls... Need first aid... Going to pass out... Someone punch me in the face!!!

I'm almost done but it will be close to the deadline.

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

Keep in mind I have a lot of work completed past what you see now, but I'm not sure where I'm going with it. It's looking the way I wanted it to go but I wanted it to seem a bit more evil than alienish (if that's a word). I will complete this challenge (O'happy days are here again!).

Please crit me. I would appreciate it.

I'll post a new update later today with new thumbnails... peace ya'll

imb3nt · Nov 2008

nice work broe.

lookin forward to seeing more. :thumbup:

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

I think this might be it for now.... Possible my final???

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

I rushed on this project, Sorry guys. This is one of the first digital paintings I've attempted so I was expecting to hit some bumps in the road. I did noticed that my entry seems a bit flat and lacks contrast. I think this happened because I leaned more in the area of painting with fades and blurs... This is one of the drawbacks in my entry. I did learn a great deal from this challenge and will continue to practice in being a better digital painter.

Dude, this is really amazing, good work Jordan!

Edit:
I think you took it to a good place. I want to suggest, after taking a rest from it, you should definitely return to it. I feel devoting a few more hours to it, with fresh eyes, I can see this piece really shining after you let it digest a little. It reminds me of the centipede baby painting. I revisited it 3 times, after putting it down for a week or two, and each time it got better. It will be a very good piece for your portfolio and it displays your creativity and uniqueness. Good Luck!

Looks real nice

rooster · Nov 2008

looks cool to me

reminds me of old album cover art, very cool
dont glow text though!

WickedFingers · Nov 2008

Thanks all for the words. I do plan on returning to this project so I can focus on areas I hustled through. I didn't give the glow much thought since I was in a hurry to turn it in... I'll stay away from that for now on.
