WIP Colt Handgun

Edit: More work ^ ^

Just some work I am doing for my BFA. I am planning to put more embellishments, but for now I am getting the groundwork laid in to make my life easier later. I am planning to have the trigger and the back portion of the safety grip be copper/brass and the rest of the gun I am still deciding. I think it would look silly if it was all copper. What do you guys think? any ideas while its at this stage?

Adom - 3D Sculpey! WIP

Forgive the crappy pics and the fact that i shot the photos on my laptop ^.^ anyway this is just to show yall what is going on, and seeing if anyone has any ideas. I have him further refined now and painted flat grey. soon I will begin painting the rest if there isnt anything else to be fixed.

Starchild Lineup

FINAL REVISION for now... at least until I get some sleep. @..@

Revision: Dog has been added. AND I SPILT ACETONE ON MY WACOM!!!! ARGGHHH!! Everything seems to be working fine, but the touch sensitive scroll area is acting wacky. I hope it dries out without problems @.@ Looking at it now I think I will shrink the dog even more. 

This is to figure out the layout of the characters. I think I will print two in case Brother Abbegglen is not appeased with overlapping characters with them more spread out. There is a dog that is not pictured, but that is because I am painting until my eyes bleed tonight. If any of you happen to be on, anyone.. Crits are welcome especially before I print them and use a ton of ink on my printer ;)

Another Idea, A New stylization

Another Update. Sorry for the low res. I am still experimenting with graphic vs representational style. You can see the differences in the other pics I left up.  Also, i am still working on the apron, gloves and boots for mr. lance on the left. 

EDIT: Hows this? I had some crits after thinking that the gesture was simply too awkward. I added a gun holster to her leg, and a sidearm holster similar to detectives. I added a satchel for good measure. :) 

I am needing feedback for her pose. ignore her right hand, I was just having fun. :) Anyway I am playing with a new way of doing things, (aka my digital process) She is wearing a kind of jumpsuit they use in the air force. I am needing to check my sources but I am going to ensure that they used a similar style of uniform around 1940s. either way this is a second concept of Evelynn that I feel like I am connecting with more. I want to add belts, and such but I will show you once I get them in. What do you guys think of her? Right now I only have local colors, but once I nail the pose I want to proceed adding the shading. I have included one of the color comps of Adom, and the wip of her father lance. He is a gunsmith, and she has been his apprentice/daughter for all her life. I put Adom in there for scale mostly, but in the end I will better hook them up as a whole.There are two more characters to come, so stay tuned.  The sooner I have crits the better. Thanks everyone!

Evelynn WIP

I increased the size of the head and shrunk the hands, did that fix the problems Emily? Anyone else have any proportion pushing/pulling ideas I can do before inking digitally?

Evelynn Concept WIP

Here is the quick sketch I have for the character "Evelynn" in the Starchild story, she is one of the inhabitants of the world Adom enters. I am going for a modified Victorian aesthetic/1940's steam punk. Note, that it is not on Earth, this is a civilization on a separate planet. I need me some feedback. ;)

Adom

Here is a character treatment for my OC Adom. I will be developing more about him and his story in the coming months. I was wondering what everyone thought? Any ideas to make him better? He is created by the collision of two stars. the sheer force/energy produced created Adom. As far as he knows hes the only one of his kind in the multi verse. He is supposed to be very dense/strong. Due to his immense density being created in the singularity of a black hole, he himself has a gravitational force/magnetic force. Anyway, hopefully some of that background info can help guide thinking or spark new ideas.

There are two versions, the first one is found here: http://pfsketchblog.blogspot.com. basically the first one is a prop in an illustration I am currently working on. this one with the blood spatters will be the third installment of a series. essentially the first one will depict a soldier looking at a picture of his beloved in a foxhole. second will show a battle going on and him holding up one of his comrades. the third will be this picture, and the fourth will be a casket with a flag draped over it. There were many more installments in the series that I would like to do but I simply do not have the time to finish them all before the deadline.

Help Voting anyone :)

By the way cliff, I voted for ya so i hope it helped!

Self Portrait WIP

Hmm I'm having trouble with the values feeling splotchy. Ideas anyone? Also I am not sure what to do with the hair, keep it cartoony or make it more representational, similar to my Monster Painting. https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3xvv7VLtUnspWHiMN_bvZCHTkCTLOJXuOgErEy6-SD1iYtXZbzhqa1k6TbXiQ3kWrD0EIWrlTxgJAlopYRyxu6abKraMqkhZqFRaoUtHvXFwfbbV2DDe_rbIkIq3wNcZaYKXz_XVf4Aw_/s1600/MonsterUnderBedLINEARTflattened.jpg

Adom - Harbinger of the Stars

I am posting this to get compositional ideas. I will be revamping 'Adom' the character you see in front, giving him a more rendered look. I am hoping to send this, the character stats/story, and my application to Riot. Seeing as I created this character specifically because I wanted to pitch the idea to them and get my foot in the door. Kind of working on speculation. Adom is a starchild, literally because he was formed in the destruction of two stars that collided. He is supposed to look sinister/radioactive. Does that come across? I have played with both desaturated red and saturated, but Adom seemed to pop the most when it was a bit more saturated. Any ideas? I feel like the background becomes a little too focal at this point. Anyway I appreciate the feedback.

Some Revisions

I am still working on finding textures that fit the feeling, but here are some changes, let me know what you think.
