Battle Mechs

These are a couple of battle mechs I did for a studio in Jordan called Vexel Studios. These were not taken to completion but rather serves as concepts to establish 2 different style variations. The first one was done using the shape tool in photoshop to generate an interesting silhouette that I then painted over. The second mech was started as a random chaotic shape in a program called alchemy with the mirror option turned on. It was then carried into photoshop for a paint over. Both are obviously inspired by japanese style robots and mech.

Creating a race of Giants

These Ideations were done from a single Z-brush model. I was able to quickly get a dozen or so different quick ideations in photoshop by paint over and photo texturing.

Z-brush experiment

This started out as a sketch where I used some Graffiti inspired shapes for the arm of this Goblin/ Orc character. I decided to explore further using some techniques from a z-brush tutorial from the talented Andrew Jones of Conceptart.org and Massive Black fame and also a custom brush tutorial by Alex Ruiz of Concept Monster.com Lots of happy accidents occurred playing around with a combination of the two techniques and a mix between having some direction and complete chaos style painting.

I created this one using Z-brush to digitally sculpt then carried it into Photoshop for a paint over.
