Hey guys, thanks!
Mechanizoid, yeah, the perspective is just eyeballed, not even bothered with it. And yeah, it's probably off in some areas, but the angles of those buildings are also pretty diverse, they're not really aligned, some are even tilting. I'm trying to practice that as much as I can.
What I find is I kinda tend to forget stuff I don't use. So if I haven't really used perspective in a complex environment like this one for more than a year, I got pretty rusty.
But I'm joining the CC, so that should fix it.

I've been having a lot of shitty days this month. Not really because of my art stuff, but because of other issues in my life. Like when I decided I wanna start eating healthy, one month ago, and stopped eating processed food, meat and dairies. And the problem is, the more I read about it, the more depressed I get, like a lot of articles about "that is unhealthy, that is a lie, that is poison" and so on... And there's always 2 sides, some say you shouldn't buy, for instance, salad that is prepacked in bags, because well, they contain a lot of bacteria. But of course, there are also articles written by people who visited the factory where they make these salads and they say everything is of high standard and all that.
So who the hell should I believe?
To cut it short, I really don't know what to eat anymore. I live in the center of a city, and it's not like you can find fields of vegetables anywhere close. And I read that even those who grow their own vegetables use pesticides and all that crap, even on the food they eat. That says everything about how desperate the world has become.
I had 5 or more days in a row when I just couldn't get myself in the mood for drawing. Like literally, nothing I had in my inspirational folders had any effect on my mood.
So I took a break, spent some time in the garden, sometimes just doodling nonsense in my sketchbook.
And then everything I read about war, terrorists, killings in America, all that hate, really makes me lose my faith, makes me wanna buy a house in the mountains and stay isolated from all these people who made a joke out of this planet.
It really reminds me of the Avatar movie... the exact same thing. Of course I'd want to be part of the natives, because they care for nature and they live peacefully, not chase for money (which aren't worth a damn by the way - I mean how much money can one person spend in a lifetime? Why can't some people get enough of it?)
Then I hear about robotics, and the things they're developing, real looking skin and real movement. Again, I think they're playing with fire, and there are so many movies that are totally plausible, like Blade runner, where you just couldn't tell humans from robots. The Terminator movie, same thing. But still, they're pushing stuff and I'm pretty sure one day, the subject of one of those movies will become a reality.
Hell, maybe even Jurassic Park will become a reality, now that they want to clone and grow dinosaurs again. How retarded can you be to even think about that?
So yeah, I'm really trying to ignore all that, and focus on what's around me, but I do think I've been born in a wrong era.
And above all that, I'm in a relationship that's identical to my art problems, today I think she's amazing and she's perfect for me, tomorrow I wanna leave her. And it goes on and on, over and over again. Just like my art thing, today I wanna focus on one subject, tomorrow I get excited about a new one. Then I get back to the first one and so on...
On the other hand, I've been adding people to my team and my game ideas are getting closer to becoming a reality. I guess that's what I have left that motivates me.
As a matter of fact, I did see something from a friend, a creature, that made me wanna experiment more with the anatomy. And so far I find it very attractive, making arms longer, different shapes, wide to narrow, play with the design, add more limbs, think about how they could function and so on.
Can't show anything decent yet though.
I think I mentioned I managed to get a project for each type of subject that I'm pursuing.
So far, the fantasy illustrations are the most painful. I don't think I'll take on another fantasy project any time soon.
I love the mech/robot projects, but I feel I still have a lot to learn in terms of design, and it's frustrating.
And I even managed to get to work on a combination between a robot (hard surface sci-fi) and a humanoid creature (anatomy stuff) which is a lot of fun.
Hope to be able to show some stuff soon.
