New ArtOrder challenge is here! Theme: Ultimate Warrior. Sounds good and gives me a chance to go on and prove to some of my friends that I can do humans, too:) In this case, I am going with a black kickass female warrior.

I really don’t want to loose the catwomaney vibe… cannot quite decide whether it’s too much of a cliche or not. It’s not meant to be a catwoman, btw (I am torn between wolf and a dragon in the origins department) although, must admit – once this sketch started taking shape I did go and researched pics of Hale Berry. As much as I didn’t enjoy her acting there – she’s one fine looking lady;)

Concept Tuesday – “Strength” character design

I stopped posting for a while. Not because I stopped drawing and sketching but because regular work overwhelmed me a little, I did not find time to do finish one design but kept throwing myself onto new ones. Much easier to start a new sketch than to spend time on research and study to push the existing one into finished stage, is it not?
So my hard drive, as well as my sketchbook keeps filling up with gigabites and lead (respectively)
Thankfully, some boost came from the Artorder and Concept Tuesday. Great chance to mingle with the creative folk there as well as to push myself a little. Above is my take on the character according to the brief. To be honest, as I only “woke up”just before the deadline the actual submitted piece was the B&W misery on the left, however I quite like the character and, regardless of it’s success at artOrder, I’ve decided to render it out until I am happy with it, making sure I do all the standard angles and some gear. This is what I’ll be workign on tonite, I hope… you never know with Fridays…

Cheers.

Sat down to warm up before my 3rd entry to the gorillaz character design challenge and came up with this. Can’t really say it gave me any clue for the gorillaz character or practice in handling the unwieldy online brushes on their website but I quite like how it came out after slapping some colour on… Will get back to this. In the meantime – do vote for my gorillaz character design, you random reader, you.
