My New Years POST - ZBRUSH

Happy 2014 to you all! Now that the holidays are over, I can finally refocus my attention on getting things done.  This year, I started working with zBrush for the first time (I know right, FINALLY!). Anyhow, this is gonna be my new thing for 2014. I think its important to do something new every once in a while. I encourage you to do the same. Cheers!

Here are some beginners sketches I did on ZBrush. I barely learned the software. 

World Building - week 6

Hi everyone. Okay so this post is just a place holder for my last week in the World Building seminar with Sean Andrew Murray. I know its been a while since I posted anything. It is gonna be a new years resolution to at least post once a week. So Happy 2014! I'll come back soon. Bless.

World Building - Week 5 - 6

I've been so MIA. Work was horrendous this past week. Also, I've been attending Art Conventions all throughout November. I got to meet and greet a lot of GREAT artist throughout November. I'll do a post on the Conventions I've been to soon.

Here is what I've been building lately. In week 5, we focused on vehicles and in week 6 is about bringing everything we've covered and bringing it all in one piece. Here are some sketches on my ideas. So far, its been a great ride.

This is kind of a long post (bear with me) but I hope you can get the scope of what I'm working on.

Week 5

Here are my posts for week 5 vehicles.

Week 6

Here are some sketches for week 6.

I'm not proud of any of them. =(

Week 3

I'm also backed up with my flora and fauna pieces. Its not really done but here is what I got. My issue with these concepts are that they aren't really authentic enough for my liking. It'd take me weeks to do more studies on creatures and plants that I think would fit best for this world that I have in mind. 

Bonus post (I wanted to share)

Yesterday, while I was trying to make concepts for my week 6 assignment, I got too caught up with artists block so I took a step back and did some speed paintings on possible "landmarks". I recorded the process.

 

World-Building - week 4 - Costumes/Population

Here is week 4 of World Building. Still a work in progress  but I learned a lot doing it. I learned that it takes me FOREVER to come up with a concept. I want to get faster.

Here is the High Priestest. She is one of a group of people of people who is an evolved human. She wears this suit for sacred reasons. 

Here is my concept of the soldier. 

This is one of the civilians. She is a hunter that lives in the forest.

I don't know where I was going with this one. I was trying to do another hunter but yea. I dont know. I decided to put it up still because you can still see the concept.

World-Building - week 3 - Flora and Fauna sketches

Hi everyone. Here are my sketches with the Flora and Fauna assignment. I started with Monkeys and Birds (I don't know why). I was thinking about focusing in the forest area of my map. Its a start. These aren't accurate animals. I was trying to play around with something familiar and slightly different.

I've been sketching in my sketchbook. I took the time to collage then together. This was fun.

World-Building - Week 2

Hi everyone. Ok so here is week 2 of my world building seminar with Sean Murray. We had to look at our maps from week 1 and put focus on an area by pretending we are visiting. I made many sketches before I reached the final. You can see them below the final image. Anyhow keep drawing. Bless.

So in my world, there are sources of high potent energy on certain locations of Atlantis. To the people of Nuearth, its a mystery of how these energy sources function, however they use this energy as their main resource of function.  Here is one of the locations located on the northern part of Atlantis. For now, I named it The Northern Temple:

Here are some more sketches before reaching the final
