Frazetta Tribute

also if anyone is interested in reading the interview from which i got the quote from here's the link http://www.tcj.com/interviews/frank-frazetta-interview

bike...

for conceptart.org's industrial design challenge
the topic: concept bike 2017
doesn't really feel that way but this was still a good exercise to help with my horrid industrial design skills...the rendering part was definitely a learning process...i pretty much stared at the image for 2 hours not knowing where to even start

update...

so another semester ends and a month of break begins...well it's officially been a year since i started school and began on this gloriously painful path of becoming a concept artist...a lot of failures coupled with some success...overall not a bad start but there's still much to learn...i would definitely like to thank all my teachers and classmates...much of their teachings and stories have kept me motivated to keep walking down this long dark tunnel in hopes of seeing light at the end so thank you all! *bow down*
anyways the last bit of stuff from classes...towards the end of the figure painting class i would go home after class and paint the figure digitally from what i remember and compare that to the actually painting i did in class...something stephen said he used to do when he was studying painting...pretty interesting how much information can be retained
thats it for now...i'll be doing more concept design and digital paintings during the break to add to my portfolio...so expect more of that in the next update...check back next month! =)

another month another update

moved on to color in the painting classes which makes it infinitely harder but the lessons on color and value relations are really helping on my digital work...i just wish i started painting when i was kid...btw don't ask what the robot does cause i really don't know =P

New month...time to update!

so classes started and i'm taking a couple painting classes...first time taking any sort of painting class so everything is a bit overwhelming and frustrating but fun overall...its just hard not having "ctrl+z" and a color picker haha...anyways here's some of hw from class...some traditional stuff and of course can't stay away from the digital realm either with some photoshop work =)
