a retarded dragon. 20mins tops.

[Inkfish]

here is a load of croquis 3 minute poses. didn't scan the rest because of suckyness related reasons :)

[Inkfish]

i tought i'd spam my sp more. Speedpaint demon. Really quick, but i like how it turned out

[rodrigo!]

the latest speedpaint is really cool man io like the use of lighting.
try to do more life drawing you just need to practice it a bit more. dont forget to try locate the ribcage and waist.

[Antti]

Hei. All your reffed work is great. And I'm digging that horned guy also. Sun kuvat näyttää hyvältä. Pistä seuraavat näyttämään paremmilta:)

[Inkfish]

Rodrigo! Thanks for the solid advice. I've rolled into a life drawing class let's hope it helps some. I really ought to do more studies on my own time too.

AnttiHey man. thanks for dropping by :) Toivottavasti nää seuraavat toimii myös, jos ei niin lisää duunia vaan ;)



Digital speedy.

wh40k stuff, the last one is a crop from a piece i'm doing.

[Inkfish]

braaaiins...

[Flaskpost]

awesome stuff you´ve been doing! badass looking zombie! but that white sharp edge on his head is a bit too sharp, looks a bit unnatural over the eyebrow i think.
keep up the fine work!

[Mikko Voipio]

Yo jou. Nice to see you again. Love the textures you've done in these latest ps paintings. There's some mileage to go on the human anatomy but you've certainly come a long way. It will be very interesting to see where you are by the same time next year.

[Inkfish]

Replies tomorrow due to massive sleep debt. Gotta go catch some z's

[rodrigo!]

nice stuff man! u been working a lot lately! i think theres some slight distortions in the eyes of the latest one. same with your life drawings- try to use cylinders a bit more for the limbs. i think that might helpa bit. cheers!

[Inkfish]

Rodrigo! Thanks man! I slacked off so much in the summer, so i gotta bust some serious hump to "break even" ;) The studies you mentioned is a must do thanks for pointing that out!

Placeboast Thanks man! :)

Flaskpost Hi man, glad to see you're back, i'll pop in your sketchbook and take a peek :)

[Inkfish]

Rodrigo! Thanks man :)


keke :)

[kuroart]

cool stuff. I like the mtg card, idk if thats much of a blue effect though. maybe white or green or mixed with black.sorry, just kinda geeked out for a second. haha
all I can say is keep the goods coming.

[Inkfish]

kuroart Thanks for the tip man :) It's been a while since i played MtG and thanks for stopping by!


Merry christmas all, here is a Bourgeau study i did, decided to turn it into a christmas card.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/inkfish/hyvaajoulua.jpg

[Inkfish]

Oh, and thanks to whom voted this thread 1 star, perhaps you would like to leave some crits too?

[maxetormer]

Je je je this one really cheered me up, and your shading its getting
better by the minute, keep working!! and see ya later!
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/inkfish/mangavangogh.jpg

[staylor]

The Bourgeau study is beautiful, and you might be the first person to make van gogh happy!

Crit Crit, try not to let the strokes get too messy, like on the hair and wings of the cherub, your smooth surfaces are beautifully rendered, but the textured parts need some lovin' too. :)

[Inkfish]

Maxetormer Thanks for the kind words man! :)

StaylorHehe, thanks for stopping by.
Good call on the crit too, i tend to blend my values too much with a stump, i'll make a mental note to keep it to a minimum


This is a character I did after watching Marko Djurdjevics excellent DVD. The legs are really mushed up, must study them more...


Edit: can't show this one yet, stay tuned :)

[asoir]

got this baby back to 4! good to see it hardly discourages you.
colours are looking very tight at the moment, this is very nice - http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=51709&stc=1&d=1163975578
keep practicing the basics and stuff, best to sharpen up every once in a while!
peace

marco

[Slash]

Awesome! The quality of your latest stuff is really high, dude.
Keep up the great work!

[max1975]

That comic book stuff is looking really good, the last page especially. I love the watercolorish texture to the background, really sets the mood.

[Inkfish]

Flaskpost Hey there! Glad you liked :)

max1975 Thanks m8 :)


new stuff, haven't really been here recently, and was really blown away by the stuff posted in the finished section and the new sb's after i last checked the forums. I hope i can partisipate more in the future.Anyhow here's what i've been up to lately

[max1975]

Welcome back! I've missed you even more than I've missed the nightmares your artwork gives me. Like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/inkfish/alienhead_front1.png what the hell is that, and for the love of god, why?

Figures seem a little off in the vampire comic, mostly I think because their heads look too big (and maybe they're not, but I expect them to be smaller in a comic). That's very nice, efficient inking, though, and there's great attention to detail.

[Inkfish]

Hey there max, glad to see you too! I'll pop in your sketchbook later today :) Thanks for pointing out the wonky anatomy in the comic book page!, i've become blind to the whole mess.

The alienhead is something that i made in z-brush when i had had 4 hours of sleep and had been working for 9 hours :)here's a batboy in that same vein
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/inkfish/batboy.png
and a quick and dirty photoshop

here is a head of an older woman i've been working on. WIP

I desaturated the colors on the render, i like it more this way :)

[Tigermilk]

great work, you seem to be progressing nicely. Really dig the plop guy. :)

[max1975]

Batboy--now you're actively trying to make me complain about how disturbing that is. I refuse. It reminds me of a fluffy bunny and fills me with happy thoughts.

I will complain about filesizes though. It's taking this page a really long time to load. You can probably compress your images a bit more without ruining the quality.

The textures on the 3D stuff are pretty impressive. They still look a little like plastic, but if there's a way around that, movie studios with much larger budgets than you (I have to assume) haven't yet found it. Does Z-brush have cool texturing tools? The older woman does look better with less saturation. Turning down her specularity a little might help some with the plasticity.

I was going to make a smartass comment like, "You know what makes people look really good? Eyeballs!" But then I compared the eyeless woman to batboy and changed my mind.

[Inkfish]

Hey there Max!

i'm glad you got the essence of the batboy, inside he's all about cuddles and happy things ;)

The loadtime is something that i'm trying to keep down, if i were less lazy guy i'd link the older images, but... I try to compress them more in the future!

The plasticity is mainly due to the default shader i use in zbrush. When i figure out how to translate the highpoly into decent normalmaps things will be better . I'll render them with mental ray and use spec maps and the like. Zbrush has really awesome texturing tools, i heartily recommend trying it, it's really intuitive to use and it's possible to get decent results even if you're a newbie like me:)

I agree on the eyeballs thing, lazy me :)

A ZBrush head, dun dun dun...
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v371/inkfish/male_head.png

[max1975]

So do they have head primitives that you mess with or are you modeling these from scratch?

[Inkfish]

There is one head primitive and other (a dog, male figure, figure clothed and prob. some others i don't remember) But i made this head bust from scratch. I used the Zspheres to create the basic geometry, and sculpted further adjustments with adaptive skin.

[Inkfish]

Still spamming this sb :)

Looking good, man! Awesome 3d work! I would kill for those 3d skills dude. :)

[Nam]

Nice 3d, the skin texture seems a little too 'porous' or whatever though. Looks a little 'hard' rather than soft I guess is what I mean.

[lema]

nice work here...
like that zombie-comic best

[Inkfish]

Flaskport Thanks man! :)

Nam Thanks for the crit, i agree the bump-map is way overdone.

lema Thanks!
