Hello #fediverse 👋 I actually re-joined #mastodon after taking a social media break. I'm interested in horror movies, cyberpunk, mythology, melodic rock, Japanese Culture - especially hentai, anime & manga. I love making digital art & 3D modeling; doing all my work with a Coıre i3 + 16GB RAM + GT1030.
I'm hoping to share some of my humble artwork here - which is not for everyone. Also I'm not interested in pandemix, politics & conspiracy theories.
I made my final decision to completely drop using Twitter today and moving my #artshare activities to #mastodon. It's not easy for me though; I've joined #Twitter back in 2008 and it was my ONLY #socialmedia for many years - till #Elmo take over and ruining it. Unfortunate.
Busy with work, school holidays and doing rough development sketch work that's not for posting 😞 So here's something I like, done with #fountainpen... Backyard hillybilly Mecha
Anyone have some concept art of their character they might be willing to let me show in the article? I'd link back to you and mention your work - I just want some examples of early concepts vs. more developed characters.
Two sides of the same coin... 3D photomontage and 3D single object renders; probably a reflection of my past professional use of the medium as a industrial designer and having done technical archiviz for many years. I am going to be using both of these styles in Sub Orbital Machine to do things I can't express with drawing in ink and graphite.
I know the clickthrough rate from SM to websites is horridly low, BUT!.... My collection of very brief world building words and equally brief PostIt Notes doodles is growing.
If you're at all interested in what the flavour of Sub Orbital Machine is all about, you can check out the collection here:
4/4/24 — Open 6-9p Mask recommended. No open drinks, please.
Concept Art Book Alert!
I remember "The Road Warrior" new in 1981, watching his "Mad Max," origin on VHS, then meeting Auntie Entity & Master-Blaster to go "Beyond Thunderdome" in '85... A 4-yr journey to an apocalypse. It took 5x as long to get to "Fury Road." Now, 9 yrs later, catch up with their world before seeing the Max-less origin of "Furiosa!"
Jan Kaplický Drawings. Probably the most important book I've bought in many years. My father is an architect & I have vivid memories of an arch. magazine with Kaplický's concepts in it. They, along with Chris Foss's '21st Century Foss' set me on a trajectory I am still travelling. Finding this book over the weekend makes it feel like everything of the past year has fallen into place.
Ya gotta pick the right weapon son, no point bringing a knife to a gun fight.
I love working in graphite, and all my fine art pieces for Sub Orbital Machine are done with it. But I have to accept that for some work, you just have to go ink...
Ghost Rider redesign I did back in 2018, time flies!
It was meant to be pitched as a comics, then a TV show, but never got done. No access and network at the time to reach out to the relevant people in charge. Besides, Marvel does not accept outisde pitch ideas, anyway.
It never passed the fanart status, but damn, the fun I had designing this. ^^
"The MkIV seemed, on paper anyway, to be a brilliant idea. Until, that was, someone pointed out that it did nothing more than walk with one person aboard, had no cargo capacity and offered no protection from the elements."
