Breakfast of Champions: Pseud-O's! || Updated at least once a week?

[Taiski]

sooooo good! Youve got quite a variety of stuff here which is always good.
Im loving eye-liner guy and dog-hair girl :D
"house of the scorpion" thingy is a really strong piece too.
all in all...very sexy!

[Rob!T]

Nice! I really like the accurate perspective, nice lines and tones of your black and white environments. also I freaking need me that last hovercraft! looks sooo comfy and cool.

[s-man]

WOW~!!Beautiful World! I like it~:)

[areve]

damn good stuff here!
a subscribe it needs to be :)

[Pseudocognition]

Taiski > It's only thanks to this portfolio that I'm showing variety, hehe. If it were up to me, it'd be all characters, aaaall the time. But hell. As long as everyone's enjoying it :) Thanks man.
Rob!T > Ah, but the question is... how do you see out of that hovercraft? That just occurred to me as I was trying to fall asleep last night, haha DX Thank you!
s-man > Thanks muchly~
Areve > Why thank you!

I'm copping out of drawing a full on crazy illu of any of these vehicles and made up for it by drawing more thumbnails. UH. I posted the bottom three rows here before but I just did the top three this morning.

[jackpot_anjr90]

So many ideas from one mind! Gosh...keep at it!

[bharat]

cool....stuff....specialy humanstudy n vepan design i like....cool visit me n coment...on ...!

[Pseudocognition]

jackpot_anjr90 & bharat: Thanks guys :)

Boring crap is boring. I'll scan more at home. Portfolio goes out on Friday! I guess I should take pix of that momentous occasion, before I like... pass out drunk on the front yard or something. I don't even drink.

[Pseudocognition]

S:Ldjf;lkajsdjf

Here.

[Pseudocognition]

:LSDKjf;laksdjf here's more, still a wip. I hate wheelchairs.

[Pseudocognition]

More of THE MOST INTERESTING PORTFOLIO EVER. Don't I know it. -_-; It's going out tomorrow or the day after, so... woot! This hell is almost over.

WIP.

[Oranje Joe]

i cannot remember the author name right now

but she would be seriously impressed!

i love it all!

[Jakers]

I don't think i've posted here more than one and to shame! You did a fantastic job exploring some of your options with your horses...i had to scroll back up to look once again, they are great!

Have you ever used a 3D base to paint on and figure out the perspective? I haven't yet but I certainly think I might once I get down to more perspective works again. You can also find images of perspective lines that you can drop into your PSD and arrange so you dont draw the lines manually. Not that your building looks wrong...solid! just not colorful - though that could be to design.

are the little thumbs (vehicles/chairs) on paper or digital?

[Adrian Wilkins]

girl !! 0_o your designing skill is soooo solid this is really going to bring you to places! love the last one and your characters inpired me to do some realistic character design too. hope everything works out well with the your job hunting!

[Adrian Wilkins]

double post: sorry!

[hunchback]

wow real great designs of late pseud
looks like a pretty interesting portfolio

see ya

[Pseudocognition]

Oranje Joe: Thank you :) I was hunting around the internet for a fan-mail address I could mail a copy of it to, but no luck. I wish I could hear her (Nancy Farmer is her name) opinion.
Jakers: No 3D base, my computer would explode if I tried. I'm going to do that someday. I did start, though, with a pencil drawing on massive paper so I could get it right. 99.9% of the thumbnails are traditional medium. Thank you <3
Hygami: Thanks! I'm hunting for an internship right now~
hunchback: Thanks, man :)

MY PORTFOLIO IS > HERE (http://pseudocognition.blogspot.com/) <

[young paddy1]

sweet looking portfolio, it's got some truly great pieces of design, your characters as usual are very strong, the only slight shortcoming I can is in the oasis enviros posted toward the top of the page, they seem forced somehow, kind of like a garden rather than somewhere wild. (sorry don't know how better to explain)

p.s. have you tried posting in her guestbook on he site?
http://www.nancyfarmerwebsite.com

cheerio

[Pseudocognition]

mentler: Thank you!
young paddy1: Oh my god, thank you so much for the link. I just sent her an e-mail yaaaay. That site would have been helpful when I started, she lists a lot of places she used as inspiration... though I think she just set it up D: haha. Oh well. I agree, they're very artificial looking for a natural environment. I have no excuse XD

[luness]

Great portfolio! I'm inspired by all the hard work you have put on it. The variety of designs and subjects is eye-catching. This is good quality! Your SB made me smile today.

Cheers!

[Pseudocognition]

Luness: Aww, thank you~

Clearly, this was a very productive day. [/sarcasm]
You may have seen this chica around. You can call her O. It makes her feel smart, because O is the only letter of the alphabet she actually knows, and it's how she signs her name. Yay, illiteracy!

[Pseudocognition]

I'm probably going to keep cranking out character portraits for a while, I've been wanting to get a solid picture made for each of my more developed characters for years. YEARS. There's only one more core character left to the previous group besides the two I have yet to finish, so here's one from a more fantasy universe/story.

Included with this, for your enjoyment, are some notes on my design-on-the-fly decision making logic. You'll notice that I really try to back every article of clothing with a personality trait, as if the character actually woke up and dressed himself.

Hah. It's a male version of me.

Crap, rushed towards the end. Gotta go to work. Boring shoes and he looks gay. Not that it's a problem to be gay, of course, but one can't be every girl's prince charming/future house husband if one is not inclined to do so 8D

[jackpot_anjr90]

The idea of giving a reason for every article of clothing is nice! And I like this latest character! He actually kinda reminds me of Heath Ledger when he was in that movie the Patriots :P
Nice work!

[My57]

lol i like the little time line at the side. tis good for inspiration eh? ya look back and think "wow i was horrible" makes you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside about your progress ^_^

[Bill]

This is really nice stuff, are you really in highschool? Geeze, (< in a good way).

[Pseudocognition]

jackpot_anjr90: Thank you!
My57: Most definitely. Warm fuzzies abound~
Bill: Haha, yeah, I am. I could stand to LEAVE high school right about now, though.

Oops, forgot the trim on the second layer of skirt. Whatever, no time, gotta walk to the train station and score me an internship~

...I'm not feeling this one so much. Can't quite figure out why, either. Hrm. Could be that warmer pink I used.

Oh yeah, this character is sort of also Dana (http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1564558#post1564558)'s, hence her art on the side. YES, DANA, I STILL HAVE ALL OF THIS, THOUGH I'M SURE YOU'VE BURNED IT. Hehehe.

[Smarty]

love seeing the improvement in these over the years. Very cute stuff. I got an old drawer back at my mums with all that jazz in, maybe next time I'm back their Ill grab a few. Yourgestures eem very good but thes are a little flat, Maybe its the black outlines or it could be a lack of contrast in the form.

Thank you for the crit! I'm rendering her out right now, it seems to be solving the flatness problem. ( And my god, it has been years... D: )

Uh, here are some sketches. I think I do better work on the computer. Then again... it is a sketchbook.

[My57]

man makes me sad that i didn't start taking drawing more serious a few years back now T_T

i really like your interior drawings and the house, where did you learn to do that? or i guess i should say how.

[My57]

hate to double post but:

I'm loving that self portrait. I think you have the shape of the eyes right, you just need to add depth to the iris. Once you nail the eyes, you've nailed the whole thing

its not a self portrait xD

im sorry to break it to ya but im not a girl.

[Pseudocognition]

i really like your interior drawings and the house, where did you learn to do that? or i guess i should say how.
Years of HGTV and... I dunno. I just had a really clear idea for once.

Blargh I want to finish these two and the purple guy by the end of the week.

[daestwen]

Hey Pseudo! Haven't popped in here yet before but there is some awesome stuff in here. Gonna have to have me a more thorough look. :]

I'm loving the Victorian Fantasy characters!

[Sorknes]

Your charcters looks really great, keep at it if it makes you happy. It makes me happy to see them, hehe. They're great ideas. :)

[AfroAbdul]

wow your work keeps getting better and better amazing stuff.
:)

[Pseudocognition]

Daestwen, Sorknes, AfroAbdul: Thank you very much :)

Ummmmm time (and the internet) got away from me. I have stuff to scan, but it isn't... scanned... uh... excuses excuses. I'm going to try and get back into the pattern of daily updating.

Here's a WIP of this week's CHOW. I decided to use the breif to add backstory/characters to a little idea of mine.

[Pseudocognition]

Doodlings, and yet more doodlings... I dunno. Still going through accumulated ideas and throwing them down, before my brain shrivels up in college. No word back from them, yet. :(

I do love me some man-dresses.

WatchmenWatchmenWatchmenWatchmenWatchmen omg.

[Giorge]

interesting art , love the costumes , do you design them yourself or you get a little exterior help , like fashion designs ... ?

[My57]

watchman eh? i read the comic, and they changed the costumes a bit i think. Looks like a good movie though...

your environment sketches make me a tad jealous xD

[areve]

Nice updates! love your sketchpages :D

[Adrian Wilkins]

wooah and that's why I hate girls they're alway better than guys Ò_ó !!
And if you think your stuff is good!!!.......omg your damn right...*cry*

naah don't hate girls actually..only you cuz your leaving me behind...
doesnt mean that I don't luv your stuff :3

[h2rra]

I really like your last posts, especially the girl in the pink dress! The only thing that fails is that watermark. It would take me 5 minutes to remove it and it's really hard to read it and it kinda ruins the picture :(

The chow characters are also very cool, although I don't understand why his boobs are not clothed :P

[Danuh]

You saved those pictures D: ... AGH. >__<;; It hurts to know that that was a little under 4 years ago.

Those textures you have for your scenery images are AWESOME. The orphan labor camp = wicked bitchin'.

[walnut]

Neato designs + solid skills = Ka-ching!

[Pseudocognition]

flamable: That's all me, haha. I do some fashiony stuff on the side, making clothes and such. Took some classes in NYC. It definitely helps improve the plausibility and apparent comfort of your costumes, to get some fashion knowledge under your belt.
My57: If they hadn't changed the costumes, I think a lot of costume makers would have too easy a time making them, lol. Some are exactly the same though... like Dollar Bill, and Hooded Justice. Thanks <3
Thank you areve and Hygami!
h2rra: The watermark was my mom's idea, I'm afraid. Every time she sees me put something online without a watermark she gives me the PEOPLE ARE GOING TO STEAL YOUR IDEAS speech. I had to humor her this time :P Never again, I promise. Haha, boobs! I think exposing vulnerable areas in a costume helps signify status... but I did that mostly because I thought it'd be sexy. Hur hur hur. *pervs*
Danuh: Still got em MAHAHHAHA. We need to hang out, foo.
Walnut: $w$ yay! Thanks.

w00t! My birthday is in ten days omg. THE BIG ONE-EIGHT.

[My57]

kitty!!!

some of the costumes weren't to great anyways xD

[Adrian Wilkins]

uuuh I'm sooo tired....

but !!I love!! your Kitty Chow
I'm participating to :( first time

good night!!

[Pseudocognition]

My57, Hygami, Arthur, thank you all for your lovely comments, I've got the warm fuzzies now <3

The finished CHOW. I completely forgot to polish up the enamel disks on his collar in shadow and his circlet, but it's bedtime. Goooood night ConceptArt!

[My57]

kitty cat. Lol i like it xD

and i like how you got the tongue sticking out,very cat like.

[ForScience]

17! thats just not fair. IMO your three-quarter environment shots are some of your very best work and are a skill that is in high demand. I would keep doing those as often as I could.

[AsaB]

Hullo, I believe I have not been here before! Looking at your work is an inspiration, your love for drawing is really contagious :) You seem to be pretty confident in many different areas, character design, enviros, industrial design and more. Glad to see someone tackle such varieties of subjects! This can only benefit you. I wish I had been that productive and serious about art 5 years ago :D

So it seems like you're making a portfolio, am I right? What schools will you apply to? :)

[Eerin]

Felicitations for getting into entertainment design! =D
The portfolio you submitted looks fantastic!
Post more :)

[Pseudocognition]

My57: Thanks! My cat does that when she's sleeping sometimes >w<
ForScience: Thank you, I really ought to do just that. I love your username by the way!
AsaB: Hey there :) The big variety you see is because of the portfolio, Art Center wanted to see a bit of everything. I only applied there and just got in!!!
Eerin: Thank you <3 <3 I certainly will do my best to post more.

I GOT INTO ART CENTER AHHHH!

Here are some doodles for this week's CHOW.

[a la bapsi]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


roommates<3

[Chate Noire]

I dropped by because I really liked your latest CHOW entries, and the stuff here is even more kickass. Awesome character designs and renders, and all the interiors are fantastic.

5 stars from me.

[nim]

omg hurry up and graduate already so you can work in games so I can eventually draw hentai doujinshi of your awesome characters! (omg super costumes!) congrats on art center you kids :U/

[AlexTooth]

Nice SB - I remember looking in here a couple months ago and was really impressed, then I lost it - now I found it again, I have an account so I can leave this comment and give you rating!

Great characters, that's really your strong point. Great playful colouring and sweet rendering too, pencils look great. Much better than all the dark-emo stuff I see so much of all the time :-)

More!

[Pseudocognition]

Comments later, class is about to end D:

The fifties had some killer fashions. I love the high waisted skirts <3

[Pseudocognition]

Bapsinator: HEADBANNGGG woooot!
Chate Noire: Thank you :)
Nim: OH MY GOD WOULD YOU? Seeing other people's porn of my characters is one of my dreams. Not one of the ones I parade around to everybody who cares, but... yeah. I will totally drop hints for you to exploit if I ever get to be a director.
Alex Tooth: Thank you muchly!

I'M 18 WTF HAPPY BIRTHDAY ME?

Still not feeling this one. Hm... I have crap to scan too so we'll see if I can find time to do that this afternoon.

[AlexTooth]

happy birthday!

I prefer the previous version btw, less is more imo! unfortunately I am a too much of a noob to offer any more in depth advice, gl with it :)

[Adrian Wilkins]

luving it !

aah missed you birthday.. ;( HAPPY BIRTHDAY additionally :3

[Merlkir]

Very sweet SB, I wish I could draw characters as cool as you. :(

[Mokinzi]

Oh, you're characters are all so beautiful, detailed and full of personality. Love watching them come, keep it up!

[Pseudocognition]

Alex: haha now that I've screwed around with it some more, I have to say I agree with you... too late!
Hygami: THANK YOU!!! I'll try to be online more this week. College got me all excited and away from the computer :(
Merklir: Uhhhh anything can happen if you truly believe? ehhh x_x Thank you haha
Mokinzi: Thank you!

[Mokinzi]

Kitties... They're adorable :3
Where do you get the inspiration for all those stunning costumes?? They're just, yeah, stunning! Like you don't know...

[Pseudocognition]

When one is bored enough, crazy things happen. Maaath classssss.

Picture these two on a train er something. I FOUND MY FAVORITE BALLPOINT yEEEEAHHHHHHH *hipthrust*

[Cacodaemonia]

Love your pencil work! :D

[Pseudocognition]

Love your pencil work! :D

Thank you! Most of my work is ballpoint actually.

Nonsense from when my English teacher went on a RRRRAAAAGEEEE. I felt it best to simply sit back and draw like usual

[wookiedabo]

lovely lines and nice designs. The blindfold chick is awesome, wicked hair, and a solid silhouette.

[a la bapsi]

sexy as usual bb

i see porportion errors in your characters HNNGH
then again..it seems like your focus was on the costume anyway. o_o

BTW DID YOU GET THAT "WE FINISHED LOOKING AT YOUR PORTFOLIO FOR SCHOLARSHIP" CARD IN THE MAIL YET?

[Reject-D]

so i see you got into the art center! congrats classmate! :D look forward to seeing you in the fall! Woot go entertainment studs!

[Pseudocognition]

wookiedabo: Thanks :) That sketch was a bit of brain poo, I'm happy it caught your attention.
Bapsi: If you're looking at the chick with the bag, she started out as a torso and I added the rest of the figure on later... prolly why you're seeing errors.
Reject-d: WOOOOT

This whole... daily update thing isn't working out so well. I get so distracted on the weekends that I can't make it to the scanner >_>;

Going back and fixing up some art from last year. It's the most exciting stance ever, I know. </sarcasm>

[Eerin]

Last one looks very realistic. I need to go learn how to draw guys >_< I love your pencil work! The lines have really nice weight. :)

Post more!

[Cacodaemonia]

Thank you! Most of my work is ballpoint actually.

Hah, so it is. It all looks so clean, I guess I assumed that you were using an eraser. ;)

What's the deal with this recent image? He seems like he's got a story. :)

[Bagg]

Man you have a freaking talent for drawing the most awesome clothing for your characters :)
by the way love the man dresses!

[Pseudocognition]

Eerin: y-y-you think I can draw guys well? Good lord that's the first time I've ever heard that. *warm fuzzies* Usually all I get is "why isn't he naked" which... is a good question and can be considered a compliment but the people who tell me that tend to have lower standards haha. Thank you!
Cacodaemonia: He does indeed. But it's for a personal project that I really ought to be more secretive about than I am Xd
Bagg: MANNNN DRESSESSSS oh boy I think I'll go and draw another one just for youuuu!

Lameness that has built up since my last post. The fact that I haven't drawn a live human in a year is starting to show D:

[Sebastian Gromann]

great skteches Lindsey. they all have a realy nice flow.
I LIKE YOUR STUFF !
got it? haha ;p

[Reject-D]

nice stuff! keep it up!

[Pseudocognition]

SnobbyOo: I GOT IT! Thank you 8D
Reject-D: Thanks :) Get online so I can see how Epic Win Man is doing!

Baby steps, here... I want this to be the last complete overhaul for this series of characters. At least for a while.

My vision of sci-fi is so terribly skewed *headdesk*

[meticulous]

*cheer* YES BALL POINT Sketcher! Really enjoyed looking through here - great Sketch book! Love your perspectives and anatomy sketches :) Keep em coming!

[Cacodaemonia]

REALLY love the first design. :) That coat makes him look like he might have been in some kind of military organization at some point, but he looks pretty tattered now. So intriguing!

The second design is a lot of fun. He definitely looks like a flamboyant fellow.

[Danuh]

siiiccckk

[Izer]

Great work, I particularly like the mix of anime and realism, works well for you. Keep it up.

[Reject-D]

nice work! keep it up! you should put our guy up here :D

[Pseudocognition]

meticulous: Thanks!
cacodaemonia: Hehe~ he's more of a trust fund baby trying to get away from the money. Go figure. Thank you!
Dana: *BARF*
izer: Thank you kindly~
reject-d: I would but since my computer exploded... nasdf;lkasdf;lkj

I suck at sci-fi.

The problem is, I approach sci-fi as an orgy of all existing cultures and those yet to be discovered IN SPPPAAACEEEEE. It doesn't make sense for everyone to streamline and reduce when the realm of aesthetic possibilities has just expanded to the nth degree. When it gets to the point where a spaceship is as accessible as a car and planets are just a day's drive away, why dress up in fancy pants suits to ride one? People used to think airplanes were something to dress up in, now people wear their pajamas. So... I dunno. That's probably why I don't take the jumpsuit route and... therefore... fail?

Deleted one attachment due to extreme redundancy.

[Pseudocognition]

One last update on this dude before bed. With the background he looks marginally more sci-fi than Japanese pop idol.

Deleted attachment due to redundancy!

[kidult]

Everytime I come round here you,ve imrpoved by loads! keep it up!

[Adrian Wilkins]

blargh...I'm doing some crappy stuies while you punch out some awesome stuff ;P

[Pseudocognition]

Thank you kidult and hygami!

[jackpot_anjr90]

Haven't stopped by here in a while. Your work keeps improving and your characters are very unique/outside the box...you seem to have a style that works very well for you.
On a side note, congratulations on getting into Art Center! Looking through here I can tell that your acceptance there was well deserved! Good luck there...or wherever you go :)

[Jakers]

Cant believe I haven't showed my face in a long time....you're still doing great! love the personality you get in there. Interesting pose and materials on the last one. I would simplify the weapon staff thing hes supporting, its rather complicated and steals a lot of attention away...and make sure that hand gets some size to it ;) A bit less saturation in the bg could do some good, so might a texture brush or two to break it up more.

You don't have to listen if you dont want to... haha.

[Pseudocognition]

A temporary Sage and an update on the Protector. :) I have some crap to scan tooooo hnng when can I get around to that...

[Reject-D]

sage looks pretty skinny.. looks like the sage hasn't eaten ever...

this is just my opinion but one way to boost these more into realism is using different light sources and shading.. right now most of your characters are being lighted form the front try mixing it up a bit get creative

keep it up Lindsey girl!

[seetsy]

cool sketchbook u got going on .. really nice costume designs, seems like u really give alot of thought to design elements ur characters and not just put it there cos it looks cool.. cool stuff

[Cacodaemonia]

Man, your costume designs are fantastic! The guy with the glasses has this real feeling of tribal-sci-fi going on. Love it! :D

[vardoburrito]

Bahahahaha, that first image is so cute. I don't need to see the rest. :P
I love the colour combinations. They're so ... giddy cool.
The blog kicks ass too. I don't remember doing this seriously nice when I was 17. [I would have been sleeping more than the average that's for sure]

Amazing. Top stuff.

[Pseudocognition]

Jordan: Haha, well you know, all those alien hunger strikes...
Seetsy: Thank you!!
Cacodaemonia: Hah yayyyy it worked <3 Thanks!
Dwardo: Hehe, "giddy cool." I like that. Ooh I forgot to update, I'm 18 now!

[Reject-D]

nice use of writing down your homework assignments :D
i like the lights, nice pose.. she has to use a DS not a gameboy pffff..

try pushing the design a bit farther how is she a technician? what does she like to do? why? i think this will help come up with some better designs right now it looks like shes got a very fine napsack but im not getting a whole lot that shes a technician or mechanic..
just keep this in mind hopefully this is helpful if not please let me know :)

i think out of all the designs that you have made for the technician this one is the best the others just look like robes with a belt and some tool.. depending on what shes doing will determine what her outfit will look like

[comixnut]

Just... wow... ok!! LOL Awesome awesome stuff. Congrats on getting into the school you applied! :D

[a la bapsi]

i see HNNNGH has spread to you too. ;D

[Pseudocognition]

i think out of all the designs that you have made for the technician this one is the best
Thanks man :) Though it was kind of the "duh" choice out of my thumbs, I thought it would be kind of cool to make a girly girl/elegant technician. Obviously I didn't go for that so much, but I dunno... a tattered/greasy long skirt paired with an industrial leather vest? I might have to save that for another character.
Just... wow... ok!! LOL Awesome awesome stuff. Congrats on getting into the school you applied! :D
Thank you! <3
i see HNNNGH has spread to you too. ;D
YEAH THANKS. My local friends have no idea what my deal is. "Are you constipated?" "HNNNNGGGG"

Mrrrrgh the Team Chow didn't pan out so well... here are the bloodied remains of something I would have been proud to enter...

[Cacodaemonia]

Love these character designs. :) Are they meant for something specific, or just practice? I think the middle three go really well together, but I feel like the costumes for the sage and the hero just don't fit with the others. The sage seems to not be entirely human, though, so that could be explained. :) The hero's clothes feel too clean and neat, if you know what I mean - the others have straps and tatters and layers that give the costumes a lot of character, but the hero seems a bit artificial.

[Pseudocognition]

Cacodaemonia: Hehe thanks... they were for the team CHOW. We went with a sort of space pirate/orgy of Human culture theme. I didn't do the Hero actually... Dario did. He was pressed for time :(

I should like... actually finish things.

Nearly there with this one. I'm going to tryyyy and finish one incomplete character per day or so from now until the stack of them is DONE... Here's an embarrassing before shot (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2144219&postcount=282) to contrast this update haha. Funny, the things that one learns in three months...

Rrrgh I like to renderrrr DX someone make me draw something other than characters...

[jackpot_anjr90]

Great work! I have to agree with Cacodaemonia though about the hero. There's nothing about the hero that screams out HERO if you know what I mean. Judging from your other characters, I'd bet my money on it that you could push the hero even further or make some changes to the character that bring that heroic vibe.
Anatomically things are looking good. The only thing that looks remotely off to me is the Rabble Rouser's left arm. The area by the elbow seems too rounded.

[DStraX]

i realy liked that last girl, her skirt looked awsome !

[Cacodaemonia]

Cacodaemonia: Hehe thanks... they were for the team CHOW. We went with a sort of space pirate/orgy of Human culture theme. I didn't do the Hero actually... Dario did. He was pressed for time :(

Ah, I didn't know about the Team CHOW event. I'm still too much of a wuss to enter those. ;) I really like those concepts, though, and I hope you guys continue to polish them, even though the contest is over. I think they have a lot of potential!

Nice improvement on the girl in pink - her bodice, especially, is much nicer now. :)

[Pseudocognition]

Nice catch, I'll be sure to address that next time I work on him.

i realy liked that last girl, her skirt looked awsome !
Thank you! It looks more like a cake now haha.

\Nice improvement on the girl in pink - her bodice, especially, is much nicer now. :)
Thank you very much :) I agree. I hadn't wanted to change it for nostalgic reasons, but ultimately with the brown vest she looks a lot more... like herself, I guess.

I'm not going fast enough on these things. No wonder I keep having to spam my SB with works in progress. But... THE DETAILS DSLfkj;alwdfj <3

She needs some good luck charms... hrnnnggg... TOMORROW she'll be done tomorrow DX and then I shall scan some goodies for you fine patient people.

[Cacodaemonia]

The details, indeed! Man, the lighting looks amazing on the pink skirts and the leather. Keep going!! :D

[Pseudocognition]

Thank you cacodaemonia!!!

DONE. Moving on...

Hoping for a productive weekend! Viva la Star Trek!!!

[Linkenlog]

I love your stuff, especially your character designs. There were some inside perspective drawings you submitted a while back and they were actually really inspiring. The little tree houses in your recent post are awesome, too. You've got such a cool style, keep it up! :D

[jackpot_anjr90]

You dont seem to ever run short of ideas :)
I like the princess a lot. The folds in her clothing look really good. Did you use references for that at all?
The characters in the next update are great as well, especially the monster and I love the tree house!
One thing that caught my eye pretty quickly though was the weapon in her left hand. I couldnt figure out the perspective of it. It doesn't look straight...the sharp half seems to be tilted slightly upward from the angle of the handle.

Thank you so much!

No refs for her except maybe one to get the sheen right. It still isn't quite right for the fabric I wanted it to be. Buuut regardless, lol. Yeah the weapons aren't finished at all, I just got so sick of the pic I wrapped it up well enough and called it quits. I'll take a more careful look in the future :)

A doodle I doodled.

[strybjorn]

man, really loving all your work, from sketches to finished pieces - im taking a lot of influence from your sketches and concepts!

your most recent character girl (the full colour one) is great tho i feel your previous colour characters lack a little form - looking at the shadows caused may help, tho like i say, your new character girl is spot on so feel free to ignore me :)

really like that last docking ships sketch too - composition is great and id love to see it finished up

Thanks! I see what you mean about the form dealio. I'll do my best to figure out some way to remedy that in my other pieces. +10EXP!

Uuuummm there aren't any NDAs floating around the ol' office o' internship but I still don't feel like I have the right to be posting these lol... um... I'll just keep the more polished pieces to myself as I'm instructed to make them. Sowwy peeps. Thumbnails ftw!

I really love the red spotted cloak thing you posted a while back. These recent clothing designs are great, too. :)

[jackpot_anjr90]

Those are some cool ideas you have going on! I like the different spider-like variations you did. I hope we're lucky enough to see your more polished work in the near future :)

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks guys :)

Workin on this inbetween drawings for internshoop.

Baleeted for redundancy. See this post (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=2271153&postcount=379) for an updated version of the same thing.

[Cacodaemonia]

Oh, nice. :) I like the hint of a pattern on her skirt. The ratty edges of it seem strange in comparison to the rest of her appearance. Is there a reason for them?

[Pseudocognition]

Stolen outfit and very few changes of clothes, lol <3 Your curiosity makes me happy!

Dunno about the scar. I'm too tired to make smart design decisions.

[Cacodaemonia]

Ah, so that's why. ;)

This new guy's eyes are freaky. :| In a cool way, though. I think the scar looks fine - nice and shiny. His right arm (on our left) looks very stiff, though.

Really enjoying the aging process of this guy. His youngest picture is adorable. <3

[Knarf]

Nice! I really enjoyed the aging progress. Makes me want to do one. Also enjoyed post 362.

Thanks,

Thank you! I'm trying to poke around with the arm a bit more... now that you mention the stiffness, it's glaringly obvious to me lol.

Thank you very much, Frank!

Update on this dude. I'm also workin on a design for a fairy critter so I'll try and put that up tomorrow for face-design-voting! Wheee!

[Cacodaemonia]

I like the dark pants better, and the seems you added to the jacket/vest look good. :) Hm, as for the arm... maybe the light color of the metal is part of what's drawing the eye and making the arm look so stiff? Have you tried moving the whole arm slightly in toward the center of his body a little? I'm not sure if that would help at all...

[Adrian Wilkins]

long time no...write? dunno.. :D well I'm in love with the girl in 361 D: such a darn great gear design! and freckles are kickes anyway!
and make some more of those cool jungle cribs you've sketched... maybe a city or an interior of it...pleaase!! D:

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Hey girl^^ Good stuff in here, I really liked that enviro doodle you did back there, please do more on it, alternativly another one^^

-E

[Pseudocognition]

Ooh wow good point... the light color does make it an unnecessary focal point eh? Things to think about! Thank you for your continued support and thoughtful advice.

Thanks!! Wow uh I guess my enviros are more interesting than I think they are haha. That's lovely to know <3

Hmm hm hm working on a different project at internship, the animation is supposedly going to be done within the month so once it's online I can post a link and describe the... minimal work I contributed lol. I had no idea you could do 2D animation in maya! So yeah nothing I can really share yet since the character is sitting on the backburner, but I finally got a day to myself yesterday to update some characters. rghasld;kf man I bet you're all sick of me uploading versions of the same things ;_;

[jackpot_anjr90]

These are some cool characters! I'm looking forward to see the animation once it's done, and give yourself more credit! This is more than just a small contribution :P

[Cacodaemonia]

I don't mind the repeat characters. :) I like seeing their designs evolve.

Looks like her expression and pose have changed a bit - I like it. Seems thoughtful, or maybe worried.

Whoa, the guy is cool looking. Very strange, but I like it. The combination of jeans and the suit (kind of reminds me of those plug suits from Neon Genesis Evangelion, if you've ever seen that) made me a do a double-take. Interesting... :)

[Adrian Wilkins]

moaar!

[Reject-D]

nice characters lindsey.. keep it up or ill beat you with a large onion.. itl make you cry..

[Nele Klumpe]

diggin your latest character designs! The guy looks pretty cool.

Thank you! It's a special kind of impact-resistant fabric they have in their world. Like black, it goes with anything!
moaar!
AMEN BRUDDAH.

Oh jesus I'm going to have to avoid that.
diggin your latest character designs! The guy looks pretty cool.
Thanks 8D

Doodles that suck due to drawing on the train. Some days it's a smooth ride, others I might as well be drawing with a ten foot long stick dipped in ink on the first crummy piece of paper ever made. PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT. (????) I'm also trying to draw people doing things other than standing. Way to branch out thar Linds... OH NOT TO MENTION OUTFITS OMGZzzz *headdesk*

[Cacodaemonia]

Sweet sketches! I love all the little fairy creatures. :)

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks Caco!

Forgot to upload one oh noes!!!

[Pseudocognition]

Some doodle I crapped out and then threw color on just to see.

This is either a sign that I'm exceedingly lonely or just human like everybody else. HM.

My mom walked by and saw this. I'm sure she went straight to my Dad and was like "Honey, our daughter hasn't had a boyfriend in four years but her characters appear to have deep and well thought-out sex lives. Time to call the therapist...?"

[Eiki]

WOW! Great concepts! And such a great linework :) was nice to look through this work, I really enjoy your stuff, now I want to see more :)

[hunchback]

ever see the movie titan A.E.?
cuz your last girl kinda had the same feel as the characters in the movie.

uh awesome .. but rreally i feel sorry for the boy toy in your doodle...

cya

[Cacodaemonia]

I think you should develop this further! :D

[Pseudocognition]

Eiki, Cacodaemonia: Thanks!
Hunchback: Yep and I know just who you're talking about. Akima, right? I love her hairstyle hehe. And you know you want to be him. You may be disgraced, you'd have money!

Continued the enviro as a personal piece and then some faces for internship. There ended up being a lot less diversity in there than I had planned haha, now I get to do it again. Deleted due to intolerable ugliness 6/30.

[Reject-D]

wooo!! clouds!!! XO

[Adrian Wilkins]

Hey there!? how you doin :D , that Enviro got potential especially with those flying city things, love flying city things *_*

greez!!

[Pseudocognition]

wooo!! clouds!!! XO
WOO JORDANNNN!
Hey there!? how you doin :D , that Enviro got potential especially with those flying city things, love flying city things *_*
Thanks! I'm going to let my gut guide this one and see where it goes. Let me know if you want to see anything on the city itself. You seem like an expert :0

More face comps, same character but older. I had kind of a "duh" moment after drawing the kid faces... it would make more sense to draw him as older and work backwards. Er, it makes sense for the story at least.

GLASSES.

[jackpot_anjr90]

I love "duh" moments because right after that things just seem to come together :)
Nice faces I definitely see more diversity in this one :P

Yaay thanks!

Still trying to get a pic of each of my charries done before flsadkfjals;k school. Here's two more. I may make em all pretty and sort-of-flat colored a la Adam Hughes from now on, lineart goes quick and I'm running out of timeealksdjf;alskdfj.

Listing this one as "horror" for genre due to the whole devil spawn thing going on with the guy... though considering these two go on a buddy adventure together, I'd also consider it comedy.

[hunchback]

nice stuff ,
do some more animals? studies?

(i do need the money, it is a valid career choice and all with....benefits... :D}

lookin good

[Cacodaemonia]

Love all the different hairstyles and funky glasses! :D

Also cool how you've got your refs and inspiration images right alongside the character designs. Great idea!

[a la bapsi]

lookin good bb

[Sorknes]

Wee, looking good! :)

Just checking in for a little fix ;)

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks everybody! Gotta go to bed, no time for comments but ILU.

OH MY GAWD... IT'S... LINEART!!! This is how far I go to jazz it up, ladies and gents. [/sarcasm]

[Dan Valkar]

the enviro its lookin great, nice perspective

[Nele Klumpe]

Oh wow, great lines! Those details look like a lot of work, but it looks good, keep it up :D
I really like the designs, too

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks!!! I'm certainly having fun lol.

CarTTOOOONNNSSSS

[Jasper_]

Hey nice character designs!! I think they would look a little better if you didn't neglect the feet so much. The costumes look very unique however, good work.

I saw your 18, where are you going to college in the fall?

[kikindaface]

Crazy designs ! I really love your work ! Maybe the male heads you draw are often similar, you should try to create more faces diversity !Anyway, keep it up ! Take care

[Jovian M]

I really dug the faces in #395. Keep it up. : D

[jackpot_anjr90]

Cool stuff! I bet it must be great doing what you love for work...can't wait to experience that myself :) Keep up the good work!

Thanks man ;D The heads were a moment of weakness I think, I'll do better!

Thank you sir!

Yeah it's pretty awesome, but I like the privacy of my own room lol. The studio experience is different but educational!

Blasrgh;asdf;lkj FOR YOUUUU?

[Mark Tarrisse]

Girl I'm following your stuff since I saw your evil genie CHOW, and I must say, you've got some very very ! inspiring designs, love the variety, your pencil work, and your rendering on ps is very solid too !
Now I just think maybe your colors sometimes could be better, you could have a little more harmony on them. And maybe you could work a little more your faces (maybe you could try to work from ref)

Anyway awesome job ! keep it coming :)

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks Markus :)

Still working on this character... hairstyles today, for his 25 year old version... my AD likes the second one with the Ankh and funky beard. Wheee!

[Cacodaemonia]

I have to agree with your AD. I also like the one with the dark "mask" over his eyes, and the one two heads below that. Awesome designs. :)

[Pseudocognition]

More internship work :)

Deleted due to shame. Updated version next post.

[jackpot_anjr90]

I love your sketchbook drawings! They have so much life in them :D Great internship stuff too as always :)

[Pseudocognition]

Hey guys, I just got back from CA... apartment hunting is no fun. I guess all the art time has to be offset by grown-up time at some point. I have more to scan but the compy doesn't seem to realize the scanner is plugged in. Hrmmm.

[jackpot_anjr90]

Nice work! Are those head sketches concepts for the same character? They seem to give off similar vibes. Hope you fix your scanner cuz I NEED to see more of your stuff :) Keep it up!

[Cacodaemonia]

Hah, those pencil sketches are awesome. :) It's always cool to see artists' sketches, especially when we usually see only your digital pieces. The digital one, by the way, has a very Egyptian feel to it, which I'm sure you were going for.

Observation: you always seem to finish the hands and feet last...

[Pseudocognition]

Yeah basically everything I'm doing nowadays is for that guy. I'm about done with his younger self render though and then that should be it for him at least... enviros are next on the agenda!

Ah, it looks like pencil but I actually use ballpoint pen hehe. Yeah... it makes more sense to me to do them last, they're the furthest extremities. Wouldn't want to draw hands and arms all nice and then screw up on the torso eh?

Some magazine (Wizard?) is holding a Bayonetta art contest! I've been looking for an excuse to draw her... since she's only recently been brought from the dead, I figured she'd need to experiment a bit with modern makeup lol buhhh I love Hideki Kamiya's brain... plus there's a HDTV for the winner. HRurhrhrhr.

[Adrian Wilkins]

loving the last wip you captured her face greatly without losing your style!
gotta love that phokin' game <3

keep it up!!! you're kinda slacking at the moment *with the finger wave*

[jackpot_anjr90]

Nice Bayonetta concept! I was planning on entering too...love the way the game looks (I'm a DMC fan :P) Keep up the great work!

Thank you my sweet, I'm sort of surprised by how efficient and quick I'm going with this piece... I KNOW RIGHT UGH it looks so absurd and self-indulgent I must have it *reeach* Hey I can't help it! I've got to move across the country DX

Nice Bayonetta concept! I was planning on entering too...love the way the game looks (I'm a DMC fan :P) Keep up the great work!

Thank you! Please enter, if not for the HDTV then for the joy of drawing so much hair *___*

[Wasker]

Awesome lineart, you really deserve 5* not 4 :>

[Cacodaemonia]

This is looking awesome so far! :) Couple things:

Her left hand looks a little funny, I think partly because it's making a weird tangent with her hip. Also, the pinky looks too long.

Her face looks significantly older in the rendered piece than in the sketch. I don't know how old she's supposed to look, but I thought I'd point that out. The thinner upper lip and hint of laugh lines are what's doing it, I think.

I'm looking forward to seeing more of this!

[Man Made God]

Amazing sketchbook, I've been watching you for a while!

Bayonetta looks great, but a couple of things are bothering me;

Her left (our right) eye looks a tiny little bit too high, based on the alignment of her nose.
Her smile seems too wide, specifically on her left (our right).

[Pseudocognition]

Aw thank you Wasker *___*

Is this better, guys?

[YihyoungLi]

Hey looking good so far! I haven't been here for a while, so I was about to say that the update looks like Bayonetta--only that it is haha. The details and objects in the back really flesh out the picture, and situation is really humorous.

Her pose--the hip and the legs especially--is awkward. I think getting a reference picture could really help out. Especially because the perspective is unusual, pulling the piece off seems really challenging. But if you pull it off, it'll be amazing!

Maybe including some weapons on the floor? That could really solidify who she is. Also, pulling her upper lids down could accent her "hey there sexy, rawr" expression haha.

Keep it up!

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I've moved some bits around and polished the perspective. I don't have the file with me right now though DX but I appreciate it loads.

Durrr

[erinel]

You keep getting better and better! This bayonetta piece is looking really awesome, and if I have any problem besides some anatomy tweaks like yihyoungli said, it's that the colors seem very bland and grey

[brandon_g45]

very nice.

[Pseudocognition]

Wow, took a bit of a hiatus there... I couldn't finish poor ol' Bayonetta cuz I was busy moving to California lol.

Thank you all so much for the love <3 Here are some of those ancient pieces I finally finished...

[Cacodaemonia]

It's cool to see them all finally finished! :D Start working on more sketches!

[GweNdZ]

wow! I love those character paintings! :D

ART CENTER IS HARD. Bahhh D: I'll scan my work to death when I get home for christmas, where the decent scanner is.

[AlexTooth]

Nice, I found your thread again!! Love all the new work, really looks like you are learning a ton :) The colours are really standing out, quality stuff!

[Pseudocognition]

Thanks Alex 8D

[Jamie Romoser]

Very cool sketchbook! keep up the hard work its paying off

[Adrian Wilkins]

whoaa you updated! well you seem to be busy as I wrote on your blog, I also am not to much posting on CA nowadays lol, maybe have a look at my blog, doing some updates there :)

[a la bapsi]

YEAH BB <3

[Cacodaemonia]

I really love how that translucent girl is coming out! The hints of teeth and bones underneath the skin are just gorgeous. I hope you finish it. :)
