concepts and dragons and mechs

This post is gonna be all about 2D. Me and a few friends decided to re-open our old sketch blog. Which is pretty much art jams we do in our spare time. http://letsjustdraw.blogspot.ca/
At the moment all artists are welcome to join. The More the merrier

So the first jam is based on story and to basically sketch out something based on that storyline and the characters. The 2nd Jam is pretty much the same concept but different story and characters. But somehow sub consciously while drawing, i made a connection between the two different story.
So because of that i drew the 3rd picture with the dragon in it.

Lastly the mech is just a random concept. i just wanted to make a mech haha ..
I have been thinking of making a 3D mech, just don't have a clear concept for it right now.

Story : The girl is going through a time portal to save her grandfather.

Story: An agent who was suppose to get intel on some secret weapon from a enemy base was caught and 2 mercenaries chased after him.

 

This one is the merge between the two story line, where the girl warps through time to save the dude.
Originally this wasn't the idea, but somehow kind of connected haha..

 Mech concept, with two power shields.

Starcraft 2 and new enviornment project

Been playing starcraft quite a lot these days. Well only ..when friends say the magic word ( Friend : "SC 2? "  Me : "Sure !" ) . And then play for like hrs.. maybe. But still my rank is like bronze, and winning ratio ranges between 50 - 55%. I saw some trailers and videos of custom games that users have been working on using the sc2 editor. All i can say is wow.. keep it up !  Links / videos of those custom games are below... watch it =)

Some concept sketches and a new personal environment project i am working on. I was trying to get ambient occlusion with mental ray to work in max 2011 but apparently its not supported. It works fine on the older version. So instead i got my AO using light tracer, which does the job too. Sometimes when i cant get things to work, i think to myself if i forgot how to do it. Which was the case here for AO...  Anyways hoping to get this finished , so i can start on something new.

My fav one so far , kept watching it so many times.











 Something about this one, made me laugh too much.. a sc2 ums racing game , sounds fun .

Mod Project concept paintings

Some early concepts for a group mod project. Its gonna be a bar scene with sci-fi elements. My concepts were mainly for color and mood purpose. And how sun light would affect a dark environment. I will be doing one of the character designs and modeling it for the mod project, along with some assets.
This is random but while i am trying to type this..i can't see that blinky line that usually appears when you type. Don't even know what its called... Anyways Still checking now and then to see when Fantasy Earth Zero will come out in beta. Speaking of beta, starcraft 2 beta looks pretty neat. I love some of the new units they got like THor. Did you know .. when u click on Thor, he or it ..makes sound impressions like arnold. So Arnold ( the terminator) drives Thor. The thought on Arnold driving a Thor makes me laugh. Some people on JustinTv are streaming sc2. So if you want to watch Thor in action.. you can see it there. Oh yeah, Thor is btw the new goliath. Its pretty badass and big. Although Blizzard made some nifty improvements, i kind of did prefer the old voice clips. My favorite quote's are the one Dragoons say from sc1 " For vengeance " "I have returned". If i ever model a badass robot ..it will have those two quotes as its voice clips. But yeah..can't wait for the final sc2 to be released. For now i'll just play sc1 and mass effect 2.

And here check these two sites out. one is about concept ships and the other is basically the fundamentals in drawing. Its always nice to get a refresher on the fundamentals or basics.

Concept paintings for group Mod project.

Found this old drawing of mine ^-^ Did this When final fantasy advent children first got released, i was soo excited for the movie that time. I watched it like 7 or 8 times. I'd watch it again....

Random concepts, the first two are copied from the skillful huntsman book. I used the silhouette images from the book and desinged the rest of the characters. As for my vehicle concepts, drew w.e popped into my head. Just noticed this .. the underwater machine looks like its shooting a kamehameha !! ( had to check on google to spell it properly =D )
