I wanted to thank everyone for coming by the workshop we did with Tim (dstrax) today! :) I'll upload the video as soon as possible for those of you who want to watch it on-demand. We are shooting to get one of Tim's friends who currently works as a concept artist with Volta Studios to do another workshop/demo with us next week.
For those of you guys unfamiliar with Volta, they're a concept art studio in Quebec that has worked on a load of projects which - if you like videogames - chances are you're familiar with. Check it out http://www.volta.ca/
Also a bit of a public service announcement....... Happy Birthday, Victor! (the guy who posted the Sentinel quick painting above this post) :)
And I apologize for not posting up the past characters. We do have the list in advance and we're coming down to the last 3 characters in the first set. As always, you're free to suggest more characters for us to do and we'll add 'em to our growing list! :)
Here are the next three, starting with today's:
Today - Guardian http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hO5JqJsLr1o/Tc..._large.jpg
Saturday, 4/18 - Super Skrull http://www.game-art-hq.com/wp-content/up...skrull.jpg
Sunday, 4/19 - Zealot (you couldn't believe what a pain it was trying to find a full body pic of her, so here's the google image search entry with practically every ref pic you'll need, ever lol) https://www.google.com/search?q=wildcats...38&bih=530
If you can't draw them along with us when we stream, you can feel free to do them on your own time. Just remember, there are only 2 rules to this challenge:
1) 2-hour time limit. You can always go back and pretty it up later but we want to see what you can manage under time pressure. That's what makes it a challenge ;)
2) Don't simply draw the character; redesign the character. It can be as drastic or as minimal as you like, but however you want to do it, the challenge is also to keep it recognizable regardless of changes.
Happy Friday and stay awesome, Daggers! :)
