CC3 Knopfkaters adventures

Oh, i almost had forgot to create a post XD

in the beginning i had so many ideas, so i tried to organize them and did some thumbnails^^

( i won't post all of them)



and some Studies



and thought about characters

[Amit Dutta]

Glad you are joining in! That first comp top left in the value sketches is pretty compelling thought the figure could be more dynamic and in some action. I like how you are breaking down the patterns on the sandstone. Very neat thing to do.
Let's see some more! :)

[Knopfkater]

Thank you Amit
You're right, the figures are very stiff. i still have many problems with doing Thumbnails and Line art
(the next thing i should practice)

Update:

I did a few more thumbnails to decide in which direction to go. And i found my general concept.
I struggle a little bit with it, because i don't if the concept fit's the brief.

"A little scavenger boy entering a abandoned environment around a church in a desert like environment.
Robots stand and lay everywhere, all of them seem to be dead. In the foreground is a robot which has a little glow in his eyes."

EDIT:
i picked the most interesting looking ones and work on all of them at a time. It might look like a waste of time, but finding the right one is more important to me, then have a fully rendered piece with a bad foundation at the end.

The next step is to make the scene readable and do a "clean" drawing

i hope this made sense :)



And some more toughs about the character
(some hand-studies might be useful )

hopefully finish something in time  :D

Welcome! I really like your approach for the sandstone study, great way to learn and attain the understanding. As for the last wip, I'm not really sure what's going on, I hope it'll become more clear as you develop the painitng. Good luck!

[Knopfkater]

Thanks for the kind words

i hope it will read better after putting some more time into it
it should get better after pushing the contrast a bit more

Hey dude, nice work! Eventhough it's not finished. You could always finish it afterwards if you have time left.
