No photo study today. Decided to start some pre-vis stuff for next years project. Some very early designs for apartment style housing in the new city and then a very rough squiggly layout for one concept shot.The smiley faced giant may or may not be included in the game.

Another photo study, 45mins. Saw these stairs and thought the design was really cool mixed with the foliage. Need to stop starting new ones and take some further so that i learn more about detailing..
45min study, not really feeling it today so this’ll do.
Finished up this study this morning. Keep forgetting to do these at higher res, this is only 600px or something stupid so it’s a bit blurry.
Photo study before work, only had 25 mins so it’s not done.. buti  mostly wanted to focus on the distance area anyway, might finish it at lunch since the weather is so shitty.
Two more photo studies, one from last night one from tonight. So flipp’n tired lately, but..must..draw..MOAR! Two more photo studies, one from last night one from tonight. So flipp’n tired lately, but..must..draw..MOAR!
50 min photo study during lunch, wanted to take it further but headdddacchheee D: Main focus at the moment is on depth and organic perspective, have noticed a bit fail with that in my work lately.Back to work ^^
Got to work an hour early so did this sketch. Reeeeally need to start doing studies again, it’s becomming a bit too frustrating to start drawings lately. Must leeearnn.
FInally i can show these. Painted these as part of a series of around 30 paintings i created for GCT Studios over the past year (almost) to help illustrate the newly released rulebook for their game Bushido.

Wasn’t happy with the result of my ‘no undo, layers, colour picking, or textures’ challenge artwork but i liked the concept so i’ve spent today fixing it up. It too forever to make this look good, i messed up the perspective so much on the initial challenge piece that it look a while to figure out how to fix it. I’m much happier with how it is looking now, it’s still not perfect but considering how it looked before, i’m pleased.I’ve included the painted update but also an alternative version that i’ve added photo texture to in order to give it a next level of detail, i’m still not sure which i prefer so have included both. In other news, i start my internship at Super Massive Games tomorrow :D I really can’t wait, i hope to learn as much as possible and make the most of the opportunity. Hopefully i’ll still have time to do some sketches so that i can keep this blog updated.

This piece was done as a challenge to myself: no undo, no layers, no colour picking, no photo-textures. Needless to say it is tough hah, but i learned quite a lot by doing it. By not being able to undo you have to think more about what you are doing before you do it or you’ll end up with a heap of mess. Not being able to colour pick means you have to make each colour every time even if you are going back over a previous area, this helps you to really understand the colours and how to get them and also brings more colour variety into the pallete. My main issues were because of no undo / layers i found it very hard to experiment, usually i like to test out big compositional changes many times during the process which i wasn’t able to do here so the overall image has certainly suffered. Though i really should have just done a solid sketch before-hand to help this. Also the clouds look appalling, like something straight out of toy story. I think i may revisit this one soon - without the restrictions - and correct all the areas that failed, especially the clouds and composition.Inspired by: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151540728884865&set=a.127000409864.98309.762389864&type=1&relevant_count=1&ref=nf
Interior sketch for something i’d like to create in UDK as a texture workflow test for next years project, if i get the time. Trying to think more as a designer, do extra sketches to help give the best impression of what needs to be built, instead of just trying to make something that looks pretty. Still a long way to go but i quite like how this has turned out, now for 3D.
Exploration sketches for something im working on atm, done over a few days ^^
Another asset design for my friend Frederic’s game ‘Molly’.
My latest artwork has received such a great response over on my deviantart account so i decided to give back a tutorial :) It’s quite broad and perhaps not the most helpful but if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. Full size at my DA: http://jackeavesart.deviantart.com/art/If-you-go-down-to-the-woods-today-TUTORIAL-373035558
