Environment Design Rocks!

[Cyprinus]

Very disappointed with me this week :< I lost almost 3 days last week because I had a terrible headache and in overall didn't feel well, which totally jumbled up every plan I had made. Then, when I finally found some time for the assignment, I decided that I didn't like what I had already started and started over. And also, I feel like I procrastinated terribly on this. It's a bad habit of mine when I run into frustration with something, and with this piece it happens a lot, because I lack experience and the visual library. That's why I end up with this single, lame sketch. I simply wasn't able to do more this time. I understand if you can't even really crit this, Amit, because I don't feel like I really did progress compared to last week, although you gave me so many useful hints. I also feel like this is still not the best composition I can come up with. I'm not even sure anymore if this is still environment I'm doing and not illustration o__o

Anyway, what I tried is using photos a bit. I didn't use one single one but I tried to mix it up a litle bit. First time I've done this. I think for the final image I want to draw and paint every thing myself, also for practice, but I felt that it helped me getting a better feel for the scale. What's constantly getting in my way is that I don't know how the mech will finally look like, the only thing I know is that I want it partly dismantled, and under the first two or three layers metal you can see the next layers, made of metal, but I imagine them looking much like a human skeleton and structures. I hope that a) this time I can finally make it to your stream and b) I can build up at least a bit of my library until I have to hand in the next stuff.



I know that technically I still have some time left, but I'm handing it in anyway. I've got a lot on my schedule today and I don't know if I'll have more time later on...
