“Merring Christmans, Meatbag.”
Mech construction concept art. A little painting from the weekend.
Ty just posted an Ash Wood inspired speedpaint on his blog. Thought I’d +1 the robot art and experiment with photo textures.
Fragile, keep dry - mech concept
Yesterday Alex Konstad posted some sweet mechs and I was totally inspired to paint my own. Really needed a self-indulgent day so put everything on hold and worked away at this for the past handful of hours. And now I feel rejuvenated!
Broken birdbot. This is what happens when you use IE.
Robot digital painting practise
Thinking about edge quality for this one. Edges are either hard, soft or lost, and I’m using different types of edges to render form and create a focal point.
Look at how sharp the area around its shoulder is. I went in and painted the forms with textural brushes, then to get it so sharp I used the hard round brush to just clean up the areas where surfaces meet. But it’s such a subtle cleanup that I can retain most of the texture.
I felt like I was summoning all these things I’d observed in Nic Klein’s work back when I started digital painting. I love the way he paints robots, same with people like Jon Foster, Ashley Wood, Phil Hale and other classics that have a similar graphic style.
