CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-08-2016 Hey guys  this is my first crimson crucible challenge and i really want to improve and work hard at this illustration. I am gonna focus on studies and refference collection for the first week, moving on to the second week i'm gonna study some rendering styles and try to implement it to my illustration and finally i am hopefully gonna finish the illustration in the last week :) (i am always open for critics) here are some first references for the enviroment and the character clothing :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Amit Dutta - 05-08-2016 Good on you for joining Leonard! Let's see what you can do! :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-10-2016 did some thumbnailsketches, charactersketches and colorstudies :) the idea is a sandwarrior dude that finds a treasure and is like surprised by the amount of gold. maybe i will include a trap to the enviroment. I am not gonna hold on 100% to this idea and maybe change it completely :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Piotr Jasielski - 05-11-2016 Wlcome to the challenge and good luck! Your initial explorations seem promising. RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-12-2016 thanks :D new idea ! focused on the clothing this little guy is gonna find a massive statue under the sand with his friends. (gonna work on thumbnails next) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-15-2016 another idea for the character :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-15-2016 rendered the first character a bit :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Hobitt - 05-15-2016 Cool stuff keep exploring ideas! RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-18-2016 little update :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Amit Dutta - 05-18-2016 Hey Leonard, good stuff, I like that little kid, and the soldier study. In terms of your approach, I wonder if perhaps you should start on the illustration sooner than the last week. It can take a while to find and settle on a good composition and figure out where to pit your studies to best use. Anyway, keep it ticking away!! Glad to see updates, cc3 is much quieter this time around. RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-18-2016 thanks for the kind words, i think i will focus on lineart next and try to push the composition as much as i can. And i will probably go for the sanddude and not for the kid :) If i have a superclean lineart i will try to paint it with the ambient oclusion technique from alex negrea, so i paint in the ambient oclusion and add multiply layers to color the picture. Hopefully i can finish it. RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-20-2016 corrected the perspective and made cleaner lineart :) gonna start with the ambient oclusion thing next. RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-21-2016 RE: CC3 studies and wips - Amit Dutta - 05-21-2016 Nice application of AO, but you need to round out the basic volumes of the various forms more since everything seems pretty flat, like a cardboard cutout. Just remember to turn the forms more as they curve around and disappear and things should be better. RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-25-2016 thanks man i tried to set up a lamp as the lightsource (never put so much time into a character)  after that i painted the ruff backround put the character into the picture and corrected the pose a bit https://translate.google.de/?hl=de#en/zh-TW/John%20Silva RE: CC3 studies and wips - Hobitt - 05-25-2016 Maybe change his facial expression a bit, he does not seem concerned about his surroundings! RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-27-2016 hmm yes, but i will first focus on the foreground and the temple :) some crappy but relevant studies more work on the foreground and temple :) RE: CC3 studies and wips - Leonard - 05-28-2016 here is my Final :)
