[[void]]

OMG - Adam!?! These are fuckin' fantastic!
(as Koshime would say) Your kung fu is complete.
I'm envious of your skills, the level of which you are excelling. I'm coming over to chop your arms off....:) naaah, maybe I'll take you prisoner, and rape your brain... jks jks jks - sorry, I'm becoming a dirty old women as I reach my 30's...

Splendid sketchbook. Thanks for sharing!

Looking Good man, very very nice control of light.

DanielC - thanks dude

Howie - glad you liked them thanks for stopping by

Mitchell - cheers, now i just need to learn how to finish them!

Tom - aw you flatterer!

Coinpurse - give celebrity deathmatch a call and see what they can do

Tekura - haha thanks, that reminds me i really need to get back to work on characters! Catch you round.

Forgot to post these yesterday.

(as Koshime would say) Your kung fu is complete.

Dont spoil the guy too early molly. The versatility is there. but it isnt nowhere complete.

Now to train on Attitude. Composition. Advanced Design. Genre. and other assorted stuff that cant be taught

I'll say. Its a good start :)

[Badger]

It's good, busy and i've lost my wacom pen. Nice designs mate. Very jealous.
-B-

[[void]]

Koshime - haha i'd be inclined to agree with you there, but i'd chuck in fundamentals like value, colour and edges into the pot too.

Badger - Oh shit dude, I spazzed out when i lost mine once. I hope you find it, thanks for the kind words mate don't be a stranger. You going to be at the dnad by any chance.

Finally got round to watching the practical light and colour dvd and making notes, (which is awesome and well worth the money for anyone considering getting it). So to try and help some of it sink in I did a study from gladiator, colour relativity is hard...

Btw i know the faces suck, like i said lighting and colour study. I don't have enough brain power to do more than that at once.

[Silveraxe]

that looks wondeful! love the blue and really nice contrasts!

Silveraxe - thanks

Something a bit different, some character design sketches for uni. See if you can guess the story.

Edit: Forgot I started a quick low poly model of the minotaur for fun, i'd like to finish it off and texture it eventually.

Very cool Mr Adam, nice take on em.

Your work is superb,man!Keep posting,please!

By the way,I am trying to make colors! work on my Nintendo DS but I can´t.......shit......

[Dan Valkar]

nothin' less than inspirin'..great work man!

[Form]

keep up the good work mr adam :) Hope you are soaking up teh knowledge at the studio :) You have a nice eye for colour. Look forward to working alongside you at some point :)

[lennon]

Hey Void! Great stuff mate. Tell me something: When you paint over the b/w stuff, what precess do you use? A multiply layer above all?
I really like your use of the texture in perspective. I should steal that from you.
Cheers!

[UnSharpened]

I am getting to love your style more and more<3, specially your character design. I don't think that your colour is your weakness, but they sometimes appear unsaturated. That may be caused by the approach you paint over the B&W paintings, which I reckon that's your style as well:P.
Great work anyway, looking forward to see more! And 5 stars from me:P.

[Sublimus]

Shit yeah! Love love love those ds colors! I HAVE to get me some of that sometime soon.

[Kian]

Dead flag blues! EXCELLENT. I did my final major graphic design project on that. Cant wait to see what you come up with mate. :)

[robogabo]

you got killer concepts!!!
the uni project is great, enviros and characters
and props, all very well executed
and very creative shapes and forms
so coooool :-D !!

all the images read very well and have nice values
the shield that warrior is carrying is awesome,
very impressive execution
also i like how you rendered the guns.

dunno what else to say besides that that i like your work :-)

best wishes!

[[void]]

camara - cheers, i just followed the steps in the colours thread

dan valkar - thanks

Form - thanks, yeah i should be able to get back to it now that uni is done and dusted. Definitely!

lennon - there are no rules only tools, something that works for one image doesn't necessarily work for another. A mix of curves, colour, overlay layers and straight paint, hope it helps. No worries, i can't remember who i stole it from.

Unsharpened - thanks, not sure what you mean about saturation, glad you like them.

Sublimus - yeah its growing on me more and more.

Jon - ta, thanks for dropping in dude

gabo - Thanks for dropping in here, ive been admiring your stuff for a while. I found some of the stuff you said about choosing the hue value and sat for each stroke, i think thats something that im going to have to work on. Im sorry to say the shield is pure cheating, its just a door chopped up!

Ive been really busy with uni so ive only been able to paint on colours or draw in my sketchbook, but i can't be bothered to scan. So here be the colours...

[TOOLED!]

great update man, love the textures. i think the mountain scene could use some atmosphere though, just to make it pop. i'll be back for more for sure.

[HunterKiller_]

I was gonna say "how did I miss this SB", but then I went to page one and realized that I've seen it before, and a difference it is!

Mad props for massive improvement, dude.
Digging all the concepts and designs.

[drd]

Love love love these!

Masterful, love the characters, the landscapes, everything.

Keep it up!

[InvertedChalupa]

KILLER progress in here man! I really love those b n w enviro sketches.

i'll be keeping an eye out for this thread for shizle

[Glory666]

Awsum stuff man, wish i could describe it. keep it up!

[Giorge]

Mind blowing environments , congrats and the characters don't look so bad either , one thing though , i see you seem to have some problems with color, 2 examples , the environment with the tower at #755 i think it has to much magenta , you could keep that only in cretin spots on the sky , or in the last head series , the last one of the series , the one colored with magenta and cyan , the color of the head doesn't add to the picture , you should try to reflect some magenta into it, colors usually reflect into the skin ... for now ^^ cheers

[GriNGo]

Amazing SB! subscribed!

[[void]]

Tooled - Thanks, its still a wip im not certain what im going to do with it.

HunterKiller - Thanks dude, I'm glad people think that im getting somewhere. I've still got a long way to go yet.

drd - ta

InvertedChalupa - Cheers mike, thanks for dropping by.

Glory666 - ta

Flamable - to be honest all those were rushed for a uni deadline so they dont have as much thought put into them as i'd like. cheers

[SoufMeng]

Im really in love with the landscape in post 785 and hope ull take it further and upload for us to see!

The rest is nice too.

[Euphemism]

I like your sketches of machinery and robots, they're very sober and straightforward (they remind me of the mecha and smaller robots in the Front Mission games :)). You've also got a great sense of the anatomy and build of your alien creatures, and you use values greatly even in your smallest thumbs. :) Keep this up, I like it! :D

[Vulgar`]

Whoa at the last one - immense potential, as usual.

[Hideyoshi]

wowza, super concept art!

Wow, I love the ceremony hall. The lighting and colors are so vibrant. Is that a lion at the front?

Never read the Narnia books?

Good stuff.

hey adam, love them all, very good serie of paintings.

[coldrum]

Fantastic moody images with great POV's! love the way you use colour and shapes in your compositions :D will have to sift through your entire SB sometime, cheers!

[Idiot Apathy]

you suck, please quit art; you'll never make it - better to take up farming or chefery. pussy.

:(


I mean, yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Love what you been up to.

[[void]]

Thanks guys, I'm glad people seem to like them i sort of lost objectivity on them after a while.

Anway heres a sketch I did on the train home and i digital cleanup of the same thing. Im just wondering if anyone actually prefers the cleaned version and if its worth doing it for portfolios etc if I put in sketches.

[Mr Man]

lush! The Image with the little girl looking at the cupboard is gold! Tonnes of atmosphere. What can I say, keep it up!

[Caffeine_stream]

Really enjoying this stuff, keep going!!

[Tigermilk]

I don't know really man, I think ultimately the orginal sketch is the one to prefere. I guess the increased contrasts make it pop some more but other than that it's pretty neat as it is. It's definately portfolio material if you show it with a couple of other sketches, as a whole piece.

This thread is incredible by the way, haven't really checked out your work for reallz untill now. Keep IT up, cos you got IT.

Valerian - Yeah, I forgot about that. Not so keen on the later stuff though. Thanks for dropping by.

[McLean]

love your colors, compositions, mood and atmosphere man.

I actually prefer that contrasted-up sketch version. I feel like it looks more like something that you might expect in an "art-of" book, it simply feels more professional to me. But thats just me.

[jedininjaman]

my word awesome job on the Narnia works very neat oh and the "after" is tons better

[Kian]

Yo Adam. how ya doin man? You're certainly rocking strong here mate. The lamp post in the snow is definitley the best one. Nice one.

[Flaskpost]

crazy good stuff man. inspiring.

[Mischeviouslittleelf]

Oh man! Looking at the developent you've had the last 3 years I will applaud you. *clap clappedy clap* You stuff is absoloutely jawdropping. I love your use of colour and your narrative pieces are so well composed and full of impressions. Very well done. There is little I can say that has any influense I guess, but that is not true the other way around so if you would not mind peeking in at my SB and giving a little heads up on what to do and what not, that would be very much appreciated:)

-E

[[void]]

elker - I never use painter, because I can't. I don't really like the brush engine and its buggy with an awkward UI. Just PS for me thanks, although if adobe could add canvas rotation and resat that would be cool. Oh and a shortcut for the colour picker window. thanks.

Jackwhat - Thanks man, I had the fortune of meeting people that offered me a job. Its who you know not what you know haha!

But else than that .. 5 stars fo' sho'!

Love your stuff man! My name is Adam as well "] I definitely see an improvement from beginning to end of your sb. Your colors have become more...expressive. All of your newer pieces have "mood" where as most of your older stuff was somewhat "mono-mood" lol. I look forward to more!

[Hideyoshi]

your DS speedies really rock! And sweet bots all around!

[SoufMeng]

Nice job, i particularly enjoy the enviros (are the two first ones reffed?).
Just out of curiosity, may i have ur thoughts on very hard brushes (i mean brushes with no opacity variation not hard edged)?

Very nice SB anyway, keep on having fun!
:)

[Josef K.]

awesome stuff man! those ds paintings really rock! gotta get out of my flat and do some life-ds-doodling too!!!!

[Sublimus]

Dayumn dude! Those DS doodles are siiiiiick.

[sinneart]

Awesome speedies... I envy your seeming spur of the moment imagination. I'd love to see how some of your doodles might progress into more finished pieces.

[young paddy1]

loving the speedies especially the DS paints, the top enviro has some really beautiful light kinda reminds me of LOTR.

more incentive to get a homebrew cartridge I suppose.
cheerio

[Form]

hello my productive and ingenuous friend! dont forget to show the bot you did - it wasnt briefed or under NDA so its fine for you to post up here :) its worth a squiz!

[Peter Berkovski]

best regards
Peter

D@niel, Sublimus - thanks

DanielC - cheers dude, thanks for dropping by.

Interceptor - Thanks man

Here's something that i've been working on, organic forms are hard. I don't know what he is, he started off as igor then got some mob suit then a robot arm and a flower to top it off.

THanks for sharing and inspiring ^^

...kinda reminds me of the guy from the goonies.

[Sublimus]

Nice update on that guy. And I especially like those sweet guns. :P

[Wasker]

sexi industrial designs you flesh 'em out with some copics :) The values and colours on the ogre-alien are great as well. >_<

[RedGallo]

freakin sweet dude, loving that last monster piece.

[K+?]

awesame stuff, can't wait for next one

[Peter Berkovski]

great as always dude,love the guns designs and the wip one - it remind me of the cave troll from the first part of LOTR
great work, post more!

[BRINKMAN!]

Great pistol designs! I especially like the top-loading one that looks kinda like a flintlock.

[Idiot Apathy]

Looking badass as always.
Love the rendering and pose on this one dude,
http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=518939&d=1226691032
Though I think it could be better if the pose was even more extended and flexed - as far back as he can get those arms. Like with a punch, either show the apex of the charge up or the impact you know?

[GriNGo]

badass... i love how lighted up the goony monster, the grayscale and yellow lighting already look great (can't imagine how it will look with more complex coloring). the gun designs are also great!

[[void]]

Thanks guys, just a quick speedy...

[Pseudocognition]

Damn, sir. You have one delicious sketchbook going on. Glad I stumbled in here <3 I'm totally fueled for practicing my ID today. Keep up the awesome work.

[Texahol]

your environments are getting really damned good...are you freeballing on the perspective, or setting up some grids/using premade grid each time?

also where is the shape breakdown that u draw here (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=509704&d=1225788613) from....just your head as you figure stuff out, or is that breakdown in a book somewhere?

[[void]]

Thanks guys, I'll get round to doing replies soon. For now here's a sketchbook page inspired by rich doble's work.

I really like the simple shapes in your designs, and the clean pencils. They seem to work well together. :)

[Interceptor]

Wow, Adam.. no gay jokes from me this time.. your work has just gotten stunning. I'm so impressed, keep it up, man! You should post more of these on GA, you're holding out on everyone. Hit me up on MSN soon, man.. we have'nt talked in ages!

[Juhani Jokinen]

Cool stuff here :)I really like those pencil sketches.

Keep up the good work!

-Juhani

[Peter Berkovski]

very nice robo designs mate, really dig your pencil sketches, the spider is my favorite, but how these big legs are connected to his body? to me it looks a little bit like these legs are something like his disabled chair

best regards ;)

[FAST ART]

the last creature is really cool :)

[Sublimus]

Dang dude. Niiiiiiiice!

D@niel, Zanzan, ManiakS, ^slayer^, Diego, Farvus, micheviouslittleelf, hideyoshi, Flaskpost, Sublimus, Wasker, RedGallo, K+?, Peter Berkovski, Brinkman - Thanks guys

Idiot Apathy - Ill try to get some more dynamic poses in from now on, thanks dude.

Gringo, Pseudocognition, Piemonster, Call0ps, Idiot apathy, Walid D - Thanks

Hideyoshi - A little dramatic! I really liked the batman speedpaint you did lately.

crazy3dman, interceptor, Sublimus - thanks

Texahol - I don't really have a set process at the moment. Most of the time I start of just eyeballing it, then if i think that its worth taking further ill use the line tool to lay in a perspective grid so that it actually makes sense. I sometimes use kbots perspective grids aswell. That was from one of kevin chens pages. You can find loads of his stuff here, http://www.characterdesigns.com/index.php?sitepage=tutorials.

Kidult, jozulus, wesburt, Eursaces - Thanks guys

ZweiDee - Good thanks, I hope you've got stuff at work that isnt so hard to 'find the joy' atm. Cheers dude glad you like.

Strybjorn, oalexis, Espenboi, Euphemism, Call0ps, Yor, D@niel , Hazart, Piemonster - cheers

Interceptor - glad you like it dude, will do.
