Darktiste Sketchbook

Nice and clean, and reflections look on point. Great work altogether on this set!

I was thinking of a low angle shot for my next piece.I want to have a surface for the object to sit on instead of floating like other concept i did just to give them a bit more realism and context but i am not sure what kind of environment would work without taking away from the subject matter. Maybe a wood floor but that would be to texture heavy maybe a tile floor.I feel like the scene could be in front of a door of a house just subtle enough to help convey the idea that someone is about to go somewhere if we put it inside that not really give the feeling of travel it feel more like object sitting in a house definitively not what i want to Convey.

The object are
A Travel Bag and a WaterSkin

Looks great to me, very well constructed and I enjoy the composition. Looking forward to seeing it developed further!

Been a long time since i did anything involving line weight for time sake this time i just wanted to focus exclusively on lineweight so i took an image from the Darksider genesis artbook and i scan it an import into a digital editing software. There no really anything special about it just a small ''breather'' something different from my longer project that just   keep dragging on which seem to be a problem of mine... i am all good as long as i feel like i am learning and once it just is time to get it ''wrap it up'' it like i switch off as i seen the same project for to long or just ran out of steam. When there is no ''problem solving it like i become very bored quickly'' .My brain seem easily bored when i am not trying something new. But enough with that self observation i just go to deal with how my brain is period.

Hopefully this little ''different note'' in my work will give me some steam to restart my other project that got pause plus i am getting some wrist issue from time to time so sometime i loosing my ability to push my project before it become to physically taxing to continue and that just kill the momentum which is annoying because i feel a good flow state certainly help not get to distracted and loose steam and god only know how easily i get distracted... but sometime a pause is not a bad thing because it switch my brain to a more analytical pattern where i can reorganize more my priority and help me get a bird eye view because with fatigue i feel it easier to fall into a tunnel vision when you get to much into a flow state where you kinda zoom in and zone out loosing track of the whole which doesn't help .It to easy to zone out and work to no end...it  a lot more demanding to be in problem solving mode.

Not my design but glad you enjoy the love in put into the linework. I could say that in a way i had to design the linework since it not like in the ref.

I am gladly bring this project to a close.

I Learned a lot about my future process.

I will finish a few 3d project i have and will try to loop back into doing way more straight forward concept art.

Hopefully i can get a few portfolio worthy project before that.




The name of this project was the adventurer starter kit

Consisting of a few item worn out item pass down from is penny pitching mentor.

A bag to carry the necessity

And a waterskin just to add a props to complement the bigger item.



I made 3 version 

1 without Lineart
1 with a thin preview of Lineart
1 with a thick preview of Lineart

The lineart could be of different thickness a little bit like my previous picture but i generally like my design with one i just wanted to see what something a bit more hand painted would look like.The hand painted version would be more like a ingame result and the LA version more like a graphic stylization of the first one.

Comment and suggestion are welcome.

Always nice to get compliment on something such as you got a good composition sure the subject matter is no original but men at least your look at something that compliment itself which was one thing i tried to achieve so it mean a lot thank.

The next project hint is (Let there be light)

I think they all look great, although I prefer version 3 the most as it's the most clean and readable. It depends on the art direction most importantly, the most 'photo real' look would be the first since there's no outline, while the last one has line work which would be more ideal for a more 'stylized' look. The concept is aces as well, what you includes screams 'Adventure' so excellent choices there as well!
