[Kherns]

Hi All !
I'm Kherns a french concept artist, working actually for some magasines, i have ended up here, as i'm one in a million.

As i'm not yet inspired to write I prefer to share the last stuff i'm working on !

[Kherns]

Here are the colored versions of the precedent sketches. Greeny mood these times, and also I have juste received the last book I was working on, so it's a real pleasure to share with you.
I'd be really happy if someone could explain me how to just have attachments thumbs to a normal size, instead of doing the mess i've done.

I'm also sorry for the litle grainy pictures of the press release taken from my camera. Please forgive me !

First the three last ones almost terminated, though I may have a genius Idea to add something.







And some litle photo shots of the book :

Hi and welcome!

Very nice start and shapes you got going there!
Hope to see more from you

[Kherns]

Hi all,

Your wishs will be exauced, as i'm in fairy mood today.
Enough joking,

@Malo : Thanx and good to see you around, you're right I love shaping so much, and I hope you'll come to visit me regurlarly !

@John Silva : Thanx a lot those are really apreciated. I'll keep me updated regularly !

So here is some more black and white Sci-Fi doodles, as I love that so much. I will also update soon, with some new shots of the new books I have been in, so stay tuned !










On some I will add some litle characters doing their duty, during the coloring process.

Thanx for reading and as always comments, advices are really welcome.

Hey Kherns,
Sure thing, mate! Really dig your style and I've to say that I'm absolutely jealous about your ability to paint sifi stuff ( I really suck on that!! )
Keep rockin' our eyes

wow those future skylines and ships are CRAZY the colored one looks like on of ryan church i like the polished glossy style..

amazing dude

[AlexTooth]

Good start mate, liking the enviros!! - I think there's room for some refinement, quite a bit looks a little random, little thumbnails are a great way to start the process!

[sickbrush]

I agree with Alex on this one, definitely good sketches, i'd try to simplify even more in the beginning to lay down my main composition and then unleash the beast hehe.

Great start, great shapes!

[Kherns]

Hi guys !

@sickbrush : Thanx for dropping by, and thanx for your kind work, hope to see you again there ! Nice tips enven I'm tryin to do that, but hard sometimes to get simple.

@Alextooth : touched you liked them, and I agree some things deserve to be more refined, you're right as I love to create with randomizing shapes. Its hard for me to get really deep in refinment but I'll take any advice. On another hand I duno why but I really love Rough and Raw. Thanx.

@MArcSampson : I'm really glad for your kind words, but I don't deserve the comparaison with Mr Church. Anyway your apreciation makes my heart joyfull.

@Malo : you know you welcome ! So I'll go on rockin' your eyes (I do love that expression), I love what you do to, wich I can't.


Now here's the dump, The tower is missing, and it's still wip. But for the rest here they are. Also some new shoots litle bit grainy from my new press releases. I have played a litle bit with my camera.

Cheers to all and Down the Hatch !

SAWEETTTTTTTT DUDE!!!
Great update. Really dig the "rawness" in it (I think we both having the same behavior ). I really like what you do and did with the customized shapes! So keep "shaping it "

But - to be honest - that cam isn't that good (sorry - just kidding).
hopefully the next dump will coming soon!

Cheers - and you know - keep rockin‘

[Kherns]

@Malo : Yeah you're right, this cam is an old numeric fart,ain'tthat good man. Shapes are a really powerfull tool, and I have begun to play with them, not so long ago.

Here's a new pic pic ! CU !

hey khern sweett stuff man!!!! very cool!!!

[malo]

Hey Kherns,
nice take on that last post, mate! Looking pretty good!
Maybe one thing (just my humble opinion) - it seems you're using a lot the soft round brush. Maybe try to work with a harder brush on the foreground elements. This will help to add some additional depth to your images.
but you know - just my 2 cents

Cheers

hey kherns thanks for posting in my book, your paintings here have a lot of potential to be some great pieces. I think if you relaxed a bit on the extreme contrast your pieces would have a more pleasing and ethereal quality to them, you can go from total black to total white, but try and make it in gradations or in very simple shapes for the overall image quality. For example, on the last piece you posted you have the same range of values in your foreground, middle and background all at once, it makes the viewer's eye jump all over and it loses the quality of spacey depth that will inspire awe which is something you especially want to achieve with landscapes.

keep working on them though, they're looking great!
