2draw.net - browse - Intermediate

I've had a reburst of motivation to learn how to draw a bit better using the ol' painting tools. I did a musketeer a while ago, but it was rubbish. I've kinda used Derek Yu's latest painting walkthrough to help me work out stuff about composition and building up a picture using brushes rather than random pixel work. Hope it's worthy of the Intermediate board. :P

Dancing is fun but you look completely ridiculous whether you try to or not...

The Wendigo

Jimbob (Jul 26, 2006)

Not based on the (apparently) crappy movie, but on this lovely EP cover:
Softhearted Scientists - The Wendigo EP

I've taken some liberties due to the crappy image quality (i.e. the leather jacket :P).
It'd make an awesome halloween costume...

I think I'll start posting all my references now, I feel like I'm cheating :P

Wow, this is looking great so far. What story is this from?

Miss_DJ (Dec 14, 2007)

I like your pic better than the ref.

Orwell's Odyssey

Jimbob (Jun 7, 2007)

Concept art for a game design competition where the theme is Ocean Odyssey. There should be some other work popping up soon...

You play Orwell, an alien whose spaceship crashlanded at the bottom of the ocean. Luckily his cockpit can transform into a bubble, and help him get to the surface. But, there's lots of dangerous sea creatures out there, and you have to guide him around, sometimes shooting smaller bubbles to trap enemies. However, your bubble is diminishing as you use air, so you have to keep your trigger finger under control and look out for air pockets!

Help Orwell reach the surface safely!
