Came across this the other day - I follow Anthony Jones' work in general, didn't see anything of his posted here.
Thought this TUT was a good basic starting point, specialy since there isn't enough talk about retaining non destructive work flow - a must to be an effective concept artist in studio production:

first pass lighting technique:

This is really for making videos. But I figured given the nature of where a lot of our studies come from, a little insight of what happens on the other side could be a good thing.

Found a very cool site for fashion reference material - I've used this a few times to find some more fashion forward clothing designs - just use the search feature to dig around for cool stuff:

I made a lite simple script for photoshop and painter.

I wanted the rotate tool to behave as the hand(Space) or eyedropper(Alt) tools. Meaning that when I release the key it goes back to brush.

Photoshop already have that but wasn't fully working because if you release mouse just a tick before the "R" key it wont go back to brush. It was getting very annoying for me.

Painter just didn't have it.

For the script I used this open source program http://www.autohotkey.com/

For the script to work you have to have rotate tool assigned to "R" key and brush to "B".
Since the script just emulate that you press "B"(Brush) when releasing "R"(Rotate)

I've been studying perspective lately and I'm training my straight lines so I have to rotate the canvas a lot and quick. With this script everything goes way smoother.

I made a Google chrome extension for quick access to this forum.

Here is a preview from my browser: http://i1115.photobucket.com/albums/k543...07a412.png

'How to' Steps:

1. Download it from here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53032591/Crimson%20Daggers.zip
2. Extract the files.
3. Open Chrome and write chrome://extensions/ in the address bar.
4. Press "Load unpacked extensions" and choose the extracted folder.
5. Put it first in the list Goddammit!

It's helpful for me so I thought others might benefit.

PS- You can do your own for other sites, simply open the .json with Notepad and change the little information from there.



So, the same thing but with a quick link for the livestream page:
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/53032591/Crimso...stream.zip

A great tool to help you keep track of things to do, wrapped up in an RPG guise. You earn gold and EXP when you do things on your list, which allows you to level up and buy rewards like playing on the computer or watching TV.

I use it to keep track of freelance deadlines, and Deathline related stuff like daily studies, etc.

Its dong a Kickstarter at the minute to make it better too:

I don't know if it's been posted yet, but Epic Games released an awesome free perspective tool.

Especially getting a perspective grid from a picture is really nice and saves so much time.
