A.J.'s Sloth People Concepts

[AjTron]

so this was a fun project i did for school.
hope you enjoy.
crits are always welcome.

[AjTron]

and here are some speed-paintings i've done just for practice.

[SBACHAN]

nice work, the piece with the dragon is my favorite!!!!

[AjTron]

thanks.
yeah that one was way fun to paint.

[zeitgeist]

that sloth tree is amazing...
i think i just spent about 10 straight minutes trying to dissect how you did it and with what brushes (i failed)

bravo man!:yayca:

Great stuff AJ...always getting better.

[Dahami]

The sloth tree-city reminds me of the wookie planet from Revenge of the Sith.

Interesting juxtaposition of skiers with an enormous fantasy dragon, but most of the skiers do not seem to be aware of the dragon as yet. The painting has a surreal quality.

The viking battle scene looks the most finished and best planned, but I actually prefer the ones with the sci-fi ships.

Your skill and practice shine through in all of these.

The Ice Dragon piece it's absolutly evocative! I love that atmosphear. Great.

[ArtZealot]

yeah, they're all amazing. I also like the dragon one, and the tree city. Any chance we could get a shot showing your process? or maybe some photoshop brushes?:wink:

[MrozekArt]

Great looking speedpaints... tree city looks awesome.

[Loolarge]

Love the tree chunk city as well! Nice and juicy

[orbitalharvest]

awesome work ajTron!

love the use of color in the background of the sloth character.

the atmosphere and detail in the tree villiage is beautiful.

great composition and flow lead-ins with the smoke and snow being blown over the cliff tip.

the shark-type ship is one of personal favs of your work. love the techy silhouettes.

again, great work!

I really like all these paintings. The forest really stood out to me. The mood that the colors set is very inviting.

[Rummity]

Wow great work! I love the speed painting, they are very nice. That first sloth guy is hilarious though.

pagedown- The school i go to is called Gemini www.geminischool.com
it's really small and REALLY good.
and we currently have David Levy (Vyle) as one of the faculty members.
it's an illustration school but the program i am following is geared more towards concept-art.
