Third Time's a Charm

Ding ding ding I just submitted the third wow comic I did. As usual I will be posting it here early and here it is:I like the concept and I'm using some of the things I learned from the other comics, that really helped speed up the process and make it better than the other ones. The colors are vibrant and the forms are solid. The only problem I have with it is the hand in panel 2, it is kind of awkward and I didn't catch it during the refinement phase. Overall. I'm very happy with it and hopefully I'll finally win!

Curses to Maya

Since Maya is being a royal bitch and is not letting me open 8.5 files on 8.0 I thought I'd be more active here and share some more of what I'm working on. Here's another perspective drawing for the Scrapyard.
This one got all smuggy but I thought I'd show it anyway. This part of the scrapyard is actually the arena and the setting is a near future where all the humans have died off and robots now run the show. The robots duke it out in the arena part of the scrapyard for supremecy as well as entertainment. I know that this is so very similar to the scrapyard from Battle Angel Alita, but I have a different vision. It's definitely more whimisical than the gritty scrapyard of Alita's world. I's say it's 80% whimsy and 20% gritty. The glowing cube suspended by the stick in the picture is an idea that my teacher said I should look into. Something along the lines of knowing the robot version of what a head on a stick is. I came up with a data cube that's been completely magnetized so that all it's data is destroyed.

The Scrapyard

I'm working on a scrapyard environment for my CG environments class. It's the "hard" class for this semester, hopefully I actually get something cool by the end of it. I'm kinda scared though because it's the 4th week already and we haven't even started modeling yet. We've been doing a ton of preproduction though, and I guess that doesn't hurt. Here is a sketch for the class.

A Little Time

It's the third week of school and I have been neglecting my posting again. Good news though I'm almost 70 on my mage, woot! I'm currently 69 and 1/3 hehe. I'm so close to spellsteal and a flying mount I can taste it. That's probably the biggest reason I haven't been posting or drawing. School have ignited my drawing again as it tends to do so here's a thumbnail sketch. I'll go into more detail of it as I post more drawings about the environment I'm doing.
