Space Marine!

Today our tutors intel was to seek and destroy (with our pens!) a badass space marine. We had 2 hours and i was pretty happy with the outcome, would of loved to carry this on a maybe even colour it at some point.

EDIT: A slightly different coloured version also, and a little upgraded. Not 100% sure if i like the "finished" outcome.

Sam Nielson - Quick redo

Today we had to quickly re do a piece by Sam Nielson just to get the basics down on lighting and forms.

Today boys playing with 'wood'

Easter!

Our mission today was to complete some form of scary rabbit in two and an half hours.

Mankind is not safe.  

Newt-fishing thing?

Another task was to colour and paint a pre-drawn character and follow a series of tutorial videos. 

Basic guidelines and form 

..with added colour!

I'm not overly pleased as i just couldn't get the right effect and got frustrated, want to go back to this on a later date.

..more random sketches.

Some heads/face practice. 

Don't ask.

For some reason he refused to face the other way.

Meet Herbert.Jr

Just some little sketches of Herbet.Jr, don't mess him about or he will gladly wear your face in all his bad quality glory (Sorry about that)

Tree/Bark designed character.

Our mission was to create a character/creature that was inspired by trees and bark. Here are some first sketches of my woodland friend.

After a lot of leaf eating and tree grinding, natures guardian was born.

 Quite happy with end piece and defiantly used some new techniques to get this end effect.

Inserting 3D.

Here the exercise was to insert some form of 3D chimney with shadows in 3DS Max

and successfully import it into a 2d picture with Photoshop. I believe mine came out okay. 

Painting on photoshop - Merchant.

After getting a few nice sketches of a skinny alien-like merchant guy. I decided to give it a go at painting it up on Photoshop, i got the basic tones and form down but still want to put more work into it. I really want to carry this one on and colour it but already spent a lot of time on it changing the design several times but im determined to get it right. 

Cartoon self portrait.

Will hopefully colour this strange abomination of me on Photoshop at some point.
