Scary stuff

Star Tree

 "The Star Tree, a tree that grows in solitude, it has no leaves nor fruit, only flowers which bloom to become stars, that float up to light up the night sky."

From my sketches i found that the 2 designs i liked, were either too hard for me to get right, or not good enough so for the final image i settled on an entirely different idea, the star tree. i was going for a cartoony-ish style that you might find in a child's storybook, Im quite happy with it.

go now KomonoJoe Mc'peasley and Trot, undescovred londs awit thee!


That would have been the synopsis behind this drawing...but then i realized the tree had a face, and was therefore a character, so it wasn't allowed for the assignment. but i have uploaded it anyway with the idea that the tree doesn't have a face, it is merely a friendly spirit that is floating in front of it, plus the fact it's such a fun filled image! :3

Tree Sketches

all of these ideas were for a giant, mountain sized, life giving tree, a tree that its roots become trees that then become massive forests.

as happy as i am with these ideas, i found that none of them really met the criteria for the assignment, i felt that the two coloured images didn't focus enough on the tree itself, more so the scene that the tree was in also that the design for the tree was rather bland, just a large straight trunk with little going on.

Surreal Ver.2

I much prefer this version, yet im not 100% satisfied with the finished result. i have achieved exactly what i pictured in my mind, yet it doesn't look very good, perhaps it was the brushes i used, or the soft/dreamlike strokes, im not sure, but it looks like it could use "more". however, i have no idea what improvements i could make to it, tough one. perhaps redoing it from scratch or using different tools/brushes might make it look more complete.

this version, more of the face is filled with colour, not so sure if i prefer it to the other version

Surreal Sketches

After the third sketch, i imediately knew what i wanted the final version to be. Origionaly i was thinking of having a guy shoting himself with his fingers and a river of colours flows out representing his imagination. the second one was dull input going in one ear, then colourful output out the other, like "in one ear and out the other" but with the character drasticly altering what he takes in. the third sketch was a dull grey world with a person walking toward the viewer, the world is colourless but his mind is filled with a colourful imagination and dream-like ideas, this is what i stuck with. the black and white sketch is the rough plan i did in photoshop, but i was not satisfied with how the person looked. the bottom image is the biped i used from 3dsMax to help with the pose of the character and the angle of the perspective for them.

Sedond Set of sketches

Robot "5" Sketch

 Decided to draw the robot in parts, so i have a better understanding of the shapes i used. 1-3 are early designs, 4-7 are the versions i settled with and developed on.

1) "Basic" idea
2) possible change
3) improved change
4) final sketch, the rest of the parts try to follow similar/complomenting features to the head
5) Upper Torso
6) Right arm + upper Leg
7) Lower leg + Lower Torso
