Alien Planet preproduction

Really ambitious piece...putting together all of the things I wasn't able to do--a sniper, sci-fi armor, a dinosaur, and a sci-fi landscape with large-scale architecture.

Thumbs.

Helmet designs.

Picked the one I wanted and messed with it a bit more.

Value comps--kind of difficult. I picked the first one.

Color comps...Maybe I did too many. Or too few?

I could only narrow it down a little bit. On the one hand, she's a sniper. On the other hand, the style I'm going for is very bright and colorful. Hmm.

The atmosphere is breathable with a filter. I started with helmets because it may or may not be the only part of her body that's visible under the camouflage cloak.

 

Drew some dinosaur skulls (Pterosaur, Theropod) and put the crest I wanted on them.

Basic build of the creature--Pterosaur wings and a modified small Dromaeosur body. Don't know which head I'm doing yet.

I haven't picked a head yet but I wanted to try different poses for the creature.

Edited thumbnail.

Bonsai 2.0

After critique.

 

Also, I've noticed that blogger is changing the colors of some of my images and over-saturating them after I upload them. I don't know why it's happening but sometimes the colors look almost neon.

I label these schoolwork but really I'm having too much fun with them.

So here's the fifth piece for ART401--process and final color before critique. I modeled the pot and the house so I could get the correct perspective.

Forest After Critique

Color tweaks, fixed the tombstoney rock at the top to not look so morbid, yep! Looks much better now.

ART401: Forest

I wanted to do a piece in the style of Yasuyuki Honne, who did the background art for Chrono Cross and Baten Kaitos.

 

I went with 6.

 

Finished for now.
