It's been a while since I last posted.
I just have a little study of the armor of Brienne of Tarth from Game of Thrones.

These days, I've been improving my way of thinking design thanks to my school project.
We'll see what happens when I have the time to do personal work !
Keep working and posst more often, this stuff is very good. I'd like to see more personals.
iCi : Thanks a lot !
Long time since I've last psoted here.
I've been busy with my school project but it's almost finished.
My internship starts in a month so I will have more free time.
Some studies :
2D Concept
3D Concept (Yeah, I'm posting some 3D for the lack of 2D :B)

And I'm working on a personal project on Da Vinci right now.
After my internship I will be working on a project with some friends, hoping to make some money with it.
It would be great if I could live making games (: !
Little update.
Artwork for my school project.
I'm still busy with the end of my project.
I hope that in 2 or 3 weeks I'll be able to post more often and watch some of your sketchbook!
Another artwork for my school project.
Trying to play with lights. (the design of the flying robot is not mine)
nice dude, you got some great improvement! The sci-fi is getting good my friend, don't worry to much about it. I see you do the value studies aswell. I just love the studies and control of your textures. Keep it up!
Thanks man !
I'm gonna restart doing these studies and try to apply them in a painting.
So, I set my goals in the deahtline forum.
I need to make two paintings a week and I have until the end of the year 2013 to improve my production rate.
I needed to finish some things and organize myself so this week won't count :p.
Some research I did for a little project.
It's supposed to be a sort of Godess. All the work is in the dress. Some of them have an evening dress feeling that I really don't like.
The word that desbribes her the most is elegancy.
I have a huge preference for the 7.
I will maybe do a painting of her with this artist as a reference
http://strangelycompelling.net/jarek-khaal-kubicki/
I really love his work.
And here is the painting I did this week
I have already received some great crits from Monkeybread (here
http://crimsondaggers.com/forum/thread-4205.html )
But I did not have the time yet to make the modifications !
So here is the study of this week.
Trying to work my color palette because I usually use too dark colors.
I will do a painting applying what I learned with the thumbnails I've done in the train !
And to finish the week, a little painting, trying to work the mood. I really have a ton of work to do.
I did not have the time to do my painting with the mushroom, I will try to do it this week.
I've got some studies this week
Working more on environment with low focal point.
I figured my problem was that I don't know how to really start a painting in an effective way.
I like rendering the light/material, but it only comes in the end.
Putting down the shapes, the mood, the lighting and all, that's something I struggle with.
A painting is on the way, even if I'm really really struggling, but well, as I once read, you only get what you put into it.
[EDIT] Here is the painting
The main problem is the suggestion of rock texture.
It's very rough with too much brushwork.
And the composition is very static, not interesting, but I will deal with one problem at a time.
Hop, another painting :
It's still very rough though, it could use an extra 30min.
I'm starting to like the lasso tool.
Second painting of the week :
Very rough, too blue, too dark, but not that bad.
I'm also doing quick studies to improve my understanding of forms and shapes.
With these I hope I can be more efficient when starting a painting.
My photoshop crashed last week, and obviously, I hadn't save my work.
So here is the painting of this week, a bit late.
I will maybe upload my colour studies later.
Ended my internship, finished school so I'm pretty much totally free right now.
I took some quick holidays doing nothing.
So here are some things I've done :
Some studies :
(Failed the composition, so I did not finished it)
Too generic in the end. I still can't paint what's in my mind :
I started with a hospital hallway, had a huge lack of inspiration so I ended up with this random abandoned place.
Just random training in the end :
I try to change the environment in each painting I make.
I'm still more confortable with forest and mountains.
Nice sketchbook Fincks, your environments/landscapes are particularly lovely.
Thanks Angel_Intheuk !
Here are some 15min studies to be more efficient when I start a painting.
I usually don't have all the infos set after 20min and it can easily backfire at me.
And 2 longer
Here's another painting :
And some thumbs :
And no speed study, 'cause they are really bad.
I'm not as spontaneous in my creativity as I would like but I'm way better than 2 months ago.
Now I need to find some theme, to put some design in my paintings, not just random things.
+ two master studies (1/day) :
The first one is more of a crash test.
Without thinking, to see what doesnt' work.
It really lacks volume, so I tried to work it in the second one. Lots of things to learn from these old masters !
1h
1h45
A wip that will stay like that. It's called noctilucent clouds, you can find them in the mesosphere.
But too much rendering for it to look good.
And some 15min studies :
Some of the thumbnails I did this week
And a painting
I'd love to see you post more man, you said in your original post you're looking to be a concept artist but you're not posting much (makes me sad :( ), I know it can be hard with other priorities though!
Digging the thumbnails though! Very balanced (especially the top left one I feel) and those 15 minute studies are great.
