We are releasing word of our game for the 2005 IGC ... These were done over the last few months, I was art director for the humans.
This side project is great fun.
I got to work alongside Retinal Haze who got some great stuff done that he's more than welcome to post here.. and my other buddy should be posting some of the models soon.

most of these were not used but here are some of my favorite.. I tried to not go over an hour on the finals or over 30 min on the markers.. on average it took about 40 thumbs to arrive at a final design.. and 120 on the worst one : ) but that's a post for later..
(keep in mind that these concepts were my first venture into the world of a tablet / painter 8)

[oracrest]

ok, here's the first model that i did for the project, with the concept sketch that sammy gave me. There were several design changes/modifications added during the modeling process, so it looks a little different.

here's the probe. It's supposed to be able to turn around and open, to form something of a satelitte dish.

I too look foward to all your posts. You're one of the few I keep an eye out for... if I see your name as the author I go and view the thread right away... and then I go about saving ALL of your art to my "art inspiration" folder.

i like the colors and every pic is strong designed in its own
together its a perfect basic and i like to see the full game and the detailed renderings of the models when its done..

Thanx guys, I'm glad my works are well received : )

this is a great project to work on.. and I'll be sure to load up new concepts as I get them done.

Bryan - do you speak of the thumbnail tutorial? if so PM me and I'll send it your way

skrubbles - Glad I can be inspirational :) I hope I don't dissapoint with later posts.

natethegreat - It's a huge challenge to keep everything looking within the same universe when all you wanna do is experement and see how far you can go.. I had to rope myself back a lot. :rolleyes:

Nucleardan - You'll be able to post soon enough.. it was a while before I got to post these
