the model is in the next thread

[Android]

Len- as a design I think it looks cool, the model looks really nice too,

however, I dont like the style of your sketch, concept art does not have too look like something out of the art of star wars book. it can be whatever you want it too look like, if you want it to look like you are copying another established artist, well thats your choice, if you want to stand out as a creative indivudial who sees the world in his or her own way i sugest you abandon the waterd down SW marker sketch thing, and embark on a style that defines yourself.

The Android speaks true; he has a great mental programming

but seriously, I like the sketch, it reminds me of a flower. I'm not sure where the propulsion goes though, it doesn't seem there is room for it. You can always say the 'petals' use special induction technology or something advanced, and I'd be happy :)

The style reminds me very much of Doug Chiang's style of drawing.

The concept however is VERY nice, very organic, alot like Dougs work on the Gungan sub in Episode 1.

Thanks you so much for your comments,

Wazz: though i did not note this in the sketch the tentacles work like a squids tentacles. Basically this is another example of me ripping off mother nature. (she never sues......ZZZZZZZZZAAP )


Andriod: I really apreciate your honesty, it really got me thinking about alot of things, finding and having confidence in my own voice being one of them . It's true I like to use doug's style, its fast and easly taken in to 3-D, but at the same time I'm also cheating myself out of --- me. finding my own style has and will take awile to resolve. Its almost like comitting to a realationship in a way. Maybe pen and ink wash for sketching.


Thanks folks , more posts to come

Len, you could do 'em in crayon on kraft paper and make it look. I've been diggin' your posts- very nicely thought out, and nicely executed as well. Thanks!

chukw: your making my head big, thanks (I kind of have a little head)

How much room is there for different styles in concept art Andrew? Do some places require you to submit stuff in pencil, etc...? Like what would a place say if you sketched and did everything in painter or photoshop or whatever. How binding are the "rules" I guess is my question...or is it just "communicate the concept" in any way you can.

I really like the design of the sub LEN it has a swirling way to it...keep it up

First time poster, long time lurker.

LEN- nice work!

As a professional industrial designer, I fully appreciate the style of sketch used for this concept. It conveys the information of the form quickly and cleanly. Perhaps my bias comes from creating pages of sketches with similar tools on a weekly basis....
The beauty of this type of sketch is that you can churn out ideas quickly w/o becoming too attached to them.

On the flip side, I'm a long time lurker because the images and the feedback posted on the site are incredibly inspirational, (especially Android's dedication to his daily self portrait). In fact, I've taken some of that inspiration and started imbuing my concept sketches with some of these approaches. Unfortunately, doing so adds time to the development schedule, which isn't always good.

Thanks for the time and the inspiration!

i agree, and disagree with android.

yes its true you should have a seperate style, but isnt it more important to have a quick and clean discription?

these sketches are ready for translation. the concept is important. not neccessarily the individuallity of the technique.

technique is and always will be comprised of the same tools, there is no new technique that someone hasnt already tried in some form or another. I believe that the technique or :style: used by len is appropriate for his audience.
