Gilgamesh: City thumbs

For my new project I am visualizing the epic of Gilgamesh, which has some very interesting characters, places, props and vehicles to design! Ever since I read this story (during my study archaeology a long long tme ago  :p) I've wanted to visualize it, so now I will :) Here are some quick thumbs for the city of Uruk, where the epic starts.

Medieval Knights

last week I focused on Eastern armours, this time I wanted to know more about medieval armour so I sketched these three designs. There are so many variations and shapes, it's very interesting and inspiring!

Eastern Warriors

I made these quick armour designs a couple of days ago. They are inspired by ancient eastern armours. I wanted to explore the shapes and colours of these armourstyles and make these into game character designs. I think I like the first one best!

The Mantodea

I've been designing a researchmech, inspired by a praying mantis :-) It's a vehicle that allows scientists to collect and gather materials for study.

Speedpaints - Mechanical

Yes, I've also been doing vehicle speedpaints, kind of new for me :-) But I enjoy doing this so much! They took about 1 hour each to complete.

Speedpaints - Japan

Been doing a lot of speedpainting, here are some of them. All of them not more than 1 hour, and inspired by Japan :)

End of Mae - Concept Art

I've been working on a project the last few weeks and here are some character designs and concepts:

I've been working together with Ward on this, so here are some of his designs and sketches as well!

Doodles

A major update is coming soon! Untill then, here are some doodles and sketches I did the last weeks to improve my skills. Some movie stills, perspective drawings, speedpaints etc.

Dominance War Sketches

Yeah I sketched for the Dominance War, though didn't finish it >< But here were my ideas, I wanted to draw a goddess of inspiration and ideas.

Fort90 Grasshopper Contest

I'm finally a bit settled in Japan, so I have more time for sketching! There is an awesome Grasshopper art contest: draw a pinup of one (or more) girls from any Grasshopper game. I like Silvia Christel from No More Heroes so much I decided to go for her! Here are some sketches, my idea is that the shadows casted on her resemble lingerie... Don't know which one to pick so might render a couple of them.

Final piece, I went for the third one! Added sketches of the other girls on the posters.

Steampunk Aphrodite

This was a topic for Character of the Week at conceptart.org, but unfortunately I was way too busy to finish it.

Chicks

I noticed I doodle a lot of chicks :-p
