DSG 311: Character: Waste Treatment Technician

DSG 311: Character: Waste Treatment Technician

This character could be anything from someone who empties containers, to controls vats, etc etc. Think dirty, stinky industrial job. Use your imagination, think of what kind of story you could tell through the image. What is he doing? Has being around waste made him/her crazy? That kind of stuff. Enjoy!!

[dns2k]

not much has changed in the future... the WMTechnicians are over run with slacker candidates that use mech bots to remove the waste of humanity... all in the guise of a videogame.

I really wanted to color this one.
In case you can't tell, that's supposed to be a lighter in his thumb.

I was thinking of a guy in a suit trying to repair some sort of valve or connection and the contents spewing all over him. Very messy, very colorful and very gross.

Just messing around and experimenting with photoshop..

http://img8.photobucket.com/albums/v28/Defunct/wastetech.jpg

The cartoon style mech didn't quite match with the surreal surroundings, but what the heck..
Nice work everyone btw, I feel so inferior, but you just wait - one day... :D ;)

[juicy_fruit]

[juicy_fruit]

[cute_elvira]

Thanks! I'll get the hang of this soon enough!!

[Valcon Jet]

[juicy_fruit]

The new WMT at the nuclear plant.

Took too long because I decided to re-ink my art in the computer. Not to mention that I surfed the web in between every other line too. :D

http://img6.photobucket.com/albums/v19/dfunkt/311-2_copy.jpg

HELP: odd, but it looks much brighter on IE than in photoshop. anyone know why?

[Al Ian]

I am getting to love this DSG thing!!!!

Here is my rendition.

http://jmarkey77.home.bresnan.net/images/speedpainting/dsg311.jpg

[juicy_fruit]

al ian im startin to love those alien guys.. ur last one was the best

[Al Ian]

lol thank you juicy_fruit!! Its about all I draw, to much fun to draw anything else.

[juicy_fruit]

u shuld try vehicle and scenes to go with that little guy

[mtomczek]

why should he do vehicles and an environment??? alot of the comments on here have been subjective, personal preference type stuff. Just watch for it, cause alot of the time it really doesnt help the artist make their work better.

[juicy_fruit]

no no im not puttin down his work... his work is amazing im saying to get more themes going or somethin i dont know...

[phantom_head]

first off, no computer today...just sketches:D
i sort of digressed on the topic, but i have an excuse for his rather un-technician-like appearance - he belongs to an elite group of waste-management-technicians who are specially trained for X-treme waste disposal. training includes epidemiology, virology, chemistry, refuse-management, toxicology...blah blah blah...firefighting, and self-defense.

http://img2.photobucket.com/albums/v11/Phantom_Head/DSG_311_1.jpg

somebody please shoot me:xx:

[Red Mimic]

Ok, my first DSG and first drawing since my cast came off :D

I sorta thought that dirt wouldnt be an issue for much of the day in the future with cleanin robots and air filters, so this guy is just cleanin to keep busy by walkin in the mud and cleanin over the same spot for almost his entire work day.

PS. Go Mop power!

[Pencil Soldier]

Thats great. :rofl:

In the future genetic engineering will allow waste management workers to actually enjoy their jobs.

Defunct: Beautiful clouds. wowzer.

NbT: My worker doesn't appreciate your entry's attitude. We'll be seeing the union about this.

lol heres a funny one.. sketch
Image Removed for size

[Red Mimic]

I just posted earlier without havin time to look around.

Funny coincidence that the Rat hunter and the Rat worker are right next to each other.

I like the look of the little human in _turrican_ 's post. Just made me laugh lookin at him about to be dumped.

Great work all.

[juicy_fruit]

Hey Everyone!

Happy New Year! I am back! and guess what!!! I am almost caught up (I missed a whole bunch over the last few months) I have over 30 new sketches almost ready to post.. I did all the ones I have missed, and will be doing the new ones posted everyday.

Here is my sewage tech... gas mask (including air tanks) for the fumes, and bundled up head to to toe keep the crap out. The pitch fork type thingy is for uncloging pipes, drains, grates, etc. May come back and colour this one someday, once I get all the catchup ones complete.

Good work everyone,

Mike

[Rockhead]

I started fooling around in Illustrator and it started to look like a gorilla bot so I made it into a unique zoo custodian. He goes around the zoo picking up litter and trash and vaporizes it in his catcher and then the waste is fed into his hollow core.
http://www.rockydavies.com/forreview/garbot.jpg
whoa, that got really light compared to the original, I'll have to see what the problem is...

In answer to juicy_fruit down there below, I will officially graduate from BYU in February

[juicy_fruit]

[DV8]

Did you go to Sheridan? Are you originally from TO? I grew up in Barrie (just north of TO) and I took animation at Algonquin in Ottawa.... now working in games down here in the US.

There is quite a Canadian presence here at conceptart.org which rocks!

great work

Mike

[juicy_fruit]

dv8 where did u go 2 college.. u learned just about everything i want 2 learn

[Dan Milligan]

Hi Mike,

I’m Toronto born and bred, did my time at OCAD and have a studio and Yonge and Front (intersection in TO) You’re right, lots of Canadians on these forums,. Always nice to meet another Canuck.

Thanks Mike
Dan

P.S.

Checked your site.
really great work Mike!

[S.C. Watson]

I figured that this here bein' a Daily Sketch Group an' all, I'd go back to sketching for a while.

H graphite pencil. Color in photoshop.

http://img9.photobucket.com/albums/v25/Oregano/Concept1/311-wastetechnician-copy.jpg

Some fun stuff going on here today people!

These are the ones that jumped out at me (not a value judgment, they just caught my eye, for what it's worth).

Dan Milligan: Really good character.

Wednesday: Rocks, man. Value study it may be, but it's still cool.

Gumdrop: I love the fact that the Harkonen doesn't have a rebreather or gas mask!

Rho: Dig the color on the rat - and the pose. Very, um... "raty" :D

Al Ian: I love the simplicity of this piece.

Valcon Jet: I wouldn't worry about "cartoony". Good work.

To the new folks: Welcome aboard!

[Thrash]

http://www.chaingunstudios.com/ArtGallery/dsg/DSG311ThrashHazardCharacterWeb.jpg

Just a bit of photoshop but mostly pens and pencils.

[DV8]

Thats cool, I considered OCAD, but decided animation was a better fit.... I branched out into games after doing a few years of traditional animation- I actually did some work for Cuppa Coffee Animation and Canuck Creations there in TO... I think they are somewhere close to where you are...its been a few years.

Nice to meet you too... you have quite a rep here, great job. I really like your style, very quick and full of life. I checked out your website, and thanks for checking out mine, and thanks for the compliment. :)

Almost forgot, congrats on the Thunderdone win.

anyways, thanks for the reply, hope to see more of your stuff on here. have a good one... eh, :)

Mike

Hey all,

Holden, my five year old, asked me to put this up for him. (Some of you are familiar with his work :) )

they're *dragon* waste technicians using the garbage truck. You can see a blue one right there by the red dumpster. And another one using the crane.

[juicy_fruit]

hey thats awesome how he has such control wow your whole familys good how about u and ur son join every dsg

[Spartycus]

Hey! This is my first post here! Although i have been lurking here for around a year. I'm a business major but i've always liked drawing, no real help ever, and i'm just now learning how to use my wacom tablet.

Well anyway, heres my first entry... Took me about an hour in photoshop.

http://www.auburn.edu/~coleand/images/dsg311.jpg

It didnt really come out how i had hoped, it ended up with him looking as though hes shoveling dirt... Given the topic, that wasnt my intention :(

Every entry here is really creative! Keep up the good work!!!

[sparky | emily]

Oregano: I like yours. Your son is five and he drew that? that's pretty good!

Dan Milligan: I love that guy's face.

Rockhead: I like that style a lot.

[shadoman]

This is my first DSG post, and my first, non work-related sketch in quite sometime. I am looking forward to getting a tablet soon and really doing some work, but for now, it will be mostly pencil-based with some Photoshop cleanup work.

Good luck all...

http://www.shawnadomanis.com/dsg/dsg311.jpg

[Wart]

Pencil, like 10 mins of work (or less). Nothing special.

[vfxart]

Damn, spent more than half the time on the damn planet... really thought I could kick it out!

http://www.dereksmuse.com/dsgwaste.jpg

This post really has nothing at all to do with the topic. Even if it was a clever attempt to be witty.

[Wundergeek]

Bleah. Didn't have time for much of a sketch since it took forever to get home through the snow. Just did a five-minute quickie in open-canvas.

http://www.pbtteam.com/dump/wmrobotsm.jpg

Far too many good ones to comment on today. :)

[donkeypuncha]

Well, I'm two minutes late, and that's why this is so unfinished. It's only my second doodle with my new little WACOM. http://sapphire-art.50megs.com/images/garbage_critter.jpg

A tad late, but here's what I got:
I had the final vision here as a type of 4 legged vehicle that is used to gather toxic waste with a seat for a user who can use a control panel for movement.

90 min value/materials study. Have to get my contrast up, up, up!
I was thinking about the topic today and somehow the dude started holding a sword, and then it jumped to all those cheesy fantasy warrior vhs covers with the lady in the skimpy leopard bikini at the warrior's feet. So...yeah...

Cool stuff today! I really didn't think the topic would generate so many entries, so that surprised me. :D

dfacto- your photoshop may be set wrong, try going into edit>color settings and make sure [Settings:] is set to "Color Management Off". Hope that helps!
(funny pic btw, guess even janitorial services have a heirarchy :D )

I didn't realize everything had to be literal. I thought it was about concept. I'll try to do the 'same old thing' next time. I didn't get to take it all the way through as I said, but I didn't labor over it to turn it into a long drawn out piece either. te guidelines were pretty well written out, but at the same time, you've got to allow for someone running off a bit too, no?

[Hagac]

Here's mine. Spent about 1 and a half hours on it, had to cut it short. I will probably develop it more on my own :)
