Thank you everyone!! MAJOOOR ARRTT DUMPZZZ

as promised, i'm back with an update. and i'll try to write some things about what went on with these images.

I had to work on 2 images, a sci-fi environment and a character. I really can't disclose anything about the project or client so i would really appreciate it if you didn't ask too much. I will try letting you in on the process a little.

I'll start with the environment. At first i did a round of sketches, trying to get it a big more clear in my mind. Usually i start with drafts like these, then i discuss with the client and we narrow them down and shift them to fit the briefing. Here are the initial drafts:

At this point my power plant was still too anchored in the present day, it needed to become more sci-fi and more energetic. It was also pretty static and it definitely needed a bit more work. I took the feedback and incorporated it into this next step:


Now things were starting to look a bit better so i took the last round of feedback and started working on the final. Here it is:


On the side, i was working on the character. It had to fit a warrior spirit with a nomadic side so just as for the environment, i started with some rough drafts to try and get my ideas fleshed out:

At this point, things were kind of ok, some drafts were better than others, some of the guys looked too light, others looked too heavy. You can see a version having a red circle, we decided that was to be the main option we would work with. After a round of feedback i narrowed it down to these guys:

After a new round of feedback we decided the first guy still looked the most solid while the other two had some concept flaws that were difficult to work around. They were just not expressing the proper image and weren't well aligned with the briefing so we narrowed it down to the first guy and i started working on the final. Here it is:


It feels good seeing them done, there are of course many things that could have been done better, especially for the environment but i feel i've learned immensely by doing these and i hope all i've assimilated will turn into better future results.

I'm thankful i had the opportunity to do this and i'm thankful to the people who supported me along the way, either with a crit bash, a warm coffee or just a nice word.

Thank you.

Looking nice Cristian - I love the sketch style you've got going on, keep honing it and it will work great for concept work and tossing ideas about. I like all those humanoid characters, alien/critters.
side note: make sure to always put (c) date Your Name on all your work. It doesn't have to be BIG but it just needs to be legible (I would recommend a font). So when it gets passed around the web, people know who created it.
