Amazing!

[vigostar]

your sketches are really great.. Reminds me a bit of insane visions when i first saw his artwork... I recon we have a new player in this town...

[FreshPaint]

Niiiiiiiice work. I am particularly fond of Sam and those guys with the fish influenced bodies. Can't wait to see more!

[D-BAKER]

Thanks guys

Ill post some more stuff soon, Iam really starting to see how this website helps to inspire the creative process, must say iam totally blown away by the level of skill on these forums, daunting but definitly the best way to push things foward I guess.

[maknien]

Oh my god!

I fell in love with the creatures in the first pic.
Then, the guy from profile looking towards the camera blew me off.
After that I figured out you have quite badass techiques with color.
I saw some top notch silhouettes, sci-fi design, animation walkcycle and decided to reply.

I mean... You rock.

Keep them coming here! :)

[AztcFireFlower]

D-Baker! Your creature designs are astounding! Fantastic! The silhouettes on the the thumbnails so interestingly thought out. The head design on the quadraped, super.......great imagination skills. Proffesional concept designer??? The last image is SWEET. Absolutely, being part of a high level creative community is one of the best ways to keep one reaching farther in oneself and going strong. Excellent! Excellent work and massive inspiration from your end as well.

[blacky]

KAAAAAA-----------------BUUM!!!

that's how I'd describe this wonderfull experience when you open a new thread like" first post; HI I'm new; I suck; n so on...." and then are completely blown outta ya boots.

(All these cowboys popping out from out of nowhere make my knees wonky and my psitols heavy....)

[DARAF]

Your style is reminiscent of some of my all time favorites. Artist like Carlos Huante. Very creative and original. Maybe you can pay my sketch page a visit and give me some pointers lol. Keep posting bro.

Daayum! Still down, stay awhile, your sketchbook is hot, what a nice creative sense... I loved the mix of the thumbnail like characters and colored character, particularly this (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=50796&stc=1&d=1163778558)
. I want to see more! Lol.

[D-BAKER]

Hey people

Its been ages since I updated, thanks for all the kind words, most of the work Iiam uploading today was done straight in to the machine, where time was a factor too, Iam working at Free radical in the Uk now so My drawing is mostly done during dinner while trying to devour a jacket potato.
This one started out as a taxi project Iwas doing with the other charachter artists.
The idea was that it was actually pan-dimensional transport equipped with a portal key that fires directly in front of the vehicle opening a gate for it to drive through.
Also its the first time I have done a 3d over paint, let me know what ya think

cheers

[D-BAKER]

all digital stuff, its been yeara since i did a zenomorph i just had too!

[Jason Snair]

Impressive. Damn. That's some imagination you've got there.

There's a lot of great things going on here. You've inspired me. Just love your melding of different forms, elements, textures into new figures.

Where did this sketchbook come from all of a sudden. I never noticed it before today.

Keep posting.

[D-BAKER]

Some traditional bits I plan to paint up....one day?

[D-BAKER]

Hey Jason

Thanks man, I was really conscious of keeping a bit of dirt in the digital stuff so I have been using loads of textures maya gave to me, v-handy

[D-BAKER]

Heres some work I did for a group project I did while doing my masters in 3d animation at Bournemouth NCCA, more sam designs and the giant sub
Its all based on a story i had been developing for a while, its on the net somewhere so ill try to find it at a later date.

[bangbangteng]

wow man. awesome. truly tight. i can't wait to get my sketch work so wonderfully rendered. i'll be checkin back here often, so keep up the posting!

ps. what industry are you in?

[D-BAKER]

This Guy Is Shiv Karper, you might recognise bits from the earlier posts, hes pretty much the main bad guy from a young adults book Iam trying to write and illustrate.

I put him together in xsi while on My masters, now iam working witht the super talented bunch at Frd, i realise he is a bit shonky, but the feeling is right I think?

[D-BAKER]

Banbangteng

Thanks dude, Iam in the games industy working for fee-radical design, currently re-learning 3d modeling!

[D-BAKER]

Dont know what happened there, but there seems to be some work missing from the europa stuff so ill try again

[kischi]

Awesome !What a nice start here :) I really like the black pencil sketches

[bunny]

Man this stuff is amazing. I love how you can use bright saturated colours without making your artwork look tacky :)

[minda]

excellent update dan, well worth the wait! you are kicking some balls. The guy with the little red pipe comming out of his belly is my fave: great wet hightlights!

[D-BAKER]

Painted this guy up today.

Captain Hook in a steam punk style, I said I would do a few more from peter pan in this style but to be honest ill probably forget.

[oishiiniku]

Awesome updates, Dan! Great variety - I especially like the recent all digi stuff. I'm envious of your colours and mark-making, my man. Are Captain Hook's bowels full of clocks?

Looking forward to more,

Ta, Nick.

[LauraD]

Your fish guys are really disconcerting, but I love the coloring and the shapes in them!

[mrgrumble]

my stars and garders! you are a master of many mediums sir. but mostly those pencil renderings just knock me off my feet. the amount of deatil you get into them and still manage to keep i lively and fresh is really impeccable~
cheers!
timmy

[FlyingMilton]

Wow, you have some pretty fancy stuff. Digging your style. The pencil critters are beyond cool.

[shidoken]

oh.. hehehe. i knew that. :^^;: i'm sure you darkened all your pencils so that it comes out darker right? or do you press on it alot? i used to use col-erase too but, i felt that the lead was too soft for me. i ended up breaking a lot of em'. :nohope:

Excellent work....really nice designs and colours.

Loved the Alien! Not drawn one in years, but used to do them all the time.

[Orifice]

Beautiful! Their heads have sweet design, good teeth!

[oishiiniku]

Danny boy...

Those nasty men are forkin' sweet. You manage to achieve so much pop with a minimum of tones and a couple of wet highlights. It's very cool. Is all the camp innuendo at work helping? I think so, sister!

Ta, Nick.

[Dayon]

Great work :D

Although it's all good, i find the black and white cyborgs the most appealing to me :)
I like how you used them in the later painting.

[D-BAKER]

hey guys, thanks alot ive been checking out all your sketchbooks so it means a lot comming from such a talented bunch, ill definitly be stopping by more often and dishing out the coments as I have been a bit slack latley.

Kick-ass sketchbook! Love the pencil stuff.

[blanquish]

the fact that you worked ( or work at), the place where they made on of my fav games( timesplitters 2) is awesome!
loving the designs and creatures, pencils especially
I think you should push the values in the digital stuff more, seems a lot of mid-tone.

[Helzon]

[Helzon]

Hey man, exhilarating work!
The one thing i may have missed in this piece was the part of the brief
that had to do with being a divine leader. Perhaps that's my fault for
not noticing..especially if you wrapped that up in the spider motif.
Anywho...keep it rolling in man.
Cheers!

side profile

[Darktwin]

Very nice Zbrush work, I like the digi gunner concept, I think his pod feet should be a little larger to support all the weight he's carrying. Keep it coming.

I'm not seeing the side profile or the other angle, just to let you know.

I love that aligator. Really reminds me of the alligators in the old Disney flick "The Rescuers". It has a real Don Bluth feel to it as well. Really great stuff.

Your sketches/renders are very good, I also think the coral and shell form cropping up in your images is a nice touch. Keep posting more stuff.

[Colepoopface]

Awesome work man. Can't wait to see more.

Also, i just wanted to let you know your first couple sketches made me very happy. I couldnt help but notice you used one of my brushes i had in my tutorial for imagine fx lol. It's just the first time i have ever seen anyones use of my brush, so i was quite estatic about that. Anyway, keep up the aweosme work.
