Vikings and Robots

With the giant robot/monster movie Pacific Rim ( Director Guillermo del Toro) hitting the big screen soon, and talk of a possible Viking Movie called Berserker (Director Mel Gibson)getting the early treatment , and the new series "Vikings" airing on the History Channel, I thought it would be a cool idea to do a concept piece that brought the two subjects of Vikings and Robots together. I guess I'll leave it up to the viewer to interpret why these two subjects would ever collide. Could the Vikings have gone through a time portal somewhere in the Bermuda triangle? Or maybe the Robot was sent into the past, or what if Poseidon (Neptune)was a giant Mech. LOL I'll leave that up to you. For me, it was cool to paint on my free time in-between art jobs. Thanks for stopping by, Enjoy!!!!

Spidermech

This is a quick speedpainting I did while watching the original Star Wars and John Carter movies. Trying out a few things, I used mostly a pallet knife for this one. Enjoy!!!

More Than Meets The Eye

A couple of quick and dirty Transformers inspired helmet designs. These were generated using the mirror functions in Alchemy and Corel Painter 12, the tweaking and some quick textures in Photoshop. It really is just two different helmets that were tweaked to make a few more ideas.

Mech concept

Trying some new techniques

Quick update

Here is a W.I.P. of the sketch in the last post. Still got a way to go on it.
Heavily anime inspired.

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.

Gladiator Mecha

This guy is waiting for his opponent to step into the arena. He's been dying to try out his new mace arm upgrade.
