Object sketches

Y'know, I probably should've done some of this stuff before I tried my character designs. I'm feeling alot more natural with these.

Touchstones: Object design

This one goes out to the various sources that have influenced, in some shape or form, the way I design things for whatever I may need to.

WETA (do you capitalize all of that?) Studios. 

Which reminds me of Stan Winston (now Legacy I believe) Studios.

Which segues into Appleseed.

The guns...and kinda Briareos. 

Which somehow takes me to the punks...cyber and steam.

 Which takes me directly to Steampunk fashion.

Which takes me to both Victorian/Renaissance fashion and the weird and kinda spooky.

But alongside the Steampunk fashion I am reminded of things like Heavy Metal.

Which makes me think of Unreal Tournament.

(The image managing thing on this is really stupid. )

And while thinking of the darker designs I think of things like:

Thinking of the sleeker designs makes me think of:

And for now this is all that comes to my mind.

This was supposed to be a simple warm-up piece...

But this just kinda up and took off from me. This is something that I'm really happy with, save for the koi's scales.I probably could've taken a simpler approach to doing them, but I just went off and, well, lessons were learned. I really like the woman, though I have no idea as to who she is supposed to be.

The latest sketches

With my latest lack of drive, these are the two best sketches that I feel like I've been able to come up with.

Father Christmas                                                             The White Witch

Touchstones

Roman Morales III: My father serves as the biggest inspiration for me for many reasons. His design is ranged and work is detailed...and he is completely self-taught!

The rest (in no particular order)
