Okay guys, well. Not much to talk about here, as usual I'm just cruising through life quite aimlessly on hope. That's not so bad, is it. We're still gud, right?

I hope so.

I gots new arts for you guys, as I've gotten back in the mood for revisiting my good ol' Gears of War inspired days of badassery mixed with a touch of my own. Here's recent doodles.

I'll try and keep it interesting, while leaving a bit up to imagination, cause well…. fuck knows what I was thinking when I drew these. I didn't have no art director, these things are straight brain farts.

Heavy futuristic security guard? Or heavy military reigns? This guy uses high powered, slow ROF SMGs.

I meant for this guy to turn out like some kind of heavyset, alien, garage mechanic…. thing. And he was meant to look harmless…. then I gave him the ugliest snarl, and a fuckin' flamethrower. Wtf?

I have no fking idea what I wanted this one to turn out as.I hate the face. And the only thing I knew from the beginning was that I wanted him to have 4 arms, two seperate lower arms on each upper arm…. or some shit. Yea. And of course, a gun, really?

I did this one yesterday before I went to sleep. I know this year all the hype is blahblahblah fantasy this, dragons and Skyrim that, blah blah. So I figured I'd try my hand at it. He initially had a sci-fi armored upper body. But then I figured I wanted a more fantasy clothed look. So I dunno, maybe it's a demon, a midget wizard/soldier, a dwarf? Fuck knows.

Here's one I did today. Real sketchy, I just wanted to get the facial expression down. All that other crap came as an afterthought, so whatever lol.

Till next time.

This art doesn't seem as detailed as your usual stuff (except for the second last one). It seems…Odd, coming from you? I don't know. I'm not trying to insult you, haha.

What I wanted to comment about though was the skate video. At first I was like "psh, this guy ain't got shit on Rodney Mullen", and he doesn't, but as he kept going, It reminded me of the simplicity of Mullen's earlier videos, and I kind of got a warm feeling, seeing that people are still doing what Mullen does.

@svf: Thankyou lool. The purtiest monstrosities.

@Taizen: Only for you, buddy :)

@Killin: Hm.. he does. Mutation? Cancer? Birth defect? What's the diagnosis.

@FSX: Yea, I'm toning it down on the detail. What I really want to achieve right now is that same feeling I got about a year ago. That ability to just get idea after idea out of my head. And lately I haven't been able to do that.

After watching these videos featuring the concept artist that got me into concept art (James Hawkens aka Hawkprey aka the senior concept artist for Epic Games) I started doing 2D profile doodles, and so far it's worked wonders. I'll get back to normal soon enough, but right now, I need to work up to it.

To put it shortly. I'm working more on design now, rather than needless detail.

Also, this dude could quite possibly be this generation's Mullen. I just don't wanna see that torch dropped, cause he's truly one of the fuckin' greatest. Hell, Mullen's a founding father of modern skating.

He's trying to insult you. Take everything he says exactly the wrong way.

Though I agree. Bolder pen, but still a lot more detail than I ever sport.

@Killin: The reason I'm doing that is because what I'm currently inspired by. See here:

Haha, thank you :D

I vaguely remember the new banner from somewhere…

Eva unit-01 12 years, 8 months ago

It was from when I said you guys would never see my face, and that was as close as you were ever gonna get… for now. Lol.
