Batwings - the forgotten vehicle

Better Late Than NEVER

Well i did this in Photoshop. I really liked Eka's Digital Painting of his self, so i tried to do the same with not very good results. In result i just did a quick sketch using my tablet. I never really have drawen from scratch on my tablet before.

The Tumbler 2.0

I apologize in advance for my lack of vehicle drawing skills.

How do you make the Bat-mobile (the Tumbler) any cooler than it already is?
Power it with spiral energy!















Drive to the heavens with your tank!
(If no one gets the reference, it will make me sad)

ah. .. late entry.. no paint.. Inigo Montoya

Well i did this quick.. but i tried to paint it in painter x.. and looked bad. so i gave up for now. here's the crappy line drawing.

The Princess Bride

Wanna Peanut

Tweaked it some more.

I had a cool Andre vs ROUS wrestling in a cage match idea but yeah.. well. another time.

Megamayn!

I know what you're thinking. "Are those pumps?!" Yes they are.

Enjoy,

DB

Bug Man

This is my Megaman Boss. Bug Man. He has several attacks but his main attack is a glide across the screen. During this glide attack Bugman drops Bug bombs on the screen. when a Bug Bomb hits the Ground it Breaks into to and Crawls across the Ground before exploding.

me first mudbox

Well I've started a model in Maya to later be taken into Mudbox. Seeing as this will be my first Mudbox project I was hoping for some feedback, maybe some tricks or what not. I will be doing the model in all squares and when I get to the UVs, I willn't have any overlapping. That stuff I know.

One thing else new is I'll be doing the model in parts(head, arms, tail and body segments). I think this will make it easer to paint in Mudbox as well as make the thing more crab like.

thanks in advance for all the great feed back and help. If everything works out alright I'll let the group have the head for a mudbox/ zbrush painting challenge or something.

peace out!

New Challenge #3

Hey all!

I have to apologize to everyone.. I didn't have time to work on the megaman challenge this week. Busy at work!

I'd like to say a big Thank you to the artists that did contribute this week.

Notably: Corban, Kenny and Joy.. that's it so far.

New Challenge:
instead of characters all the time lets do some vehicle drawings!

Batman Universe.. choose from movies to comics. Try to reinvent his vehicles or even make one for a villain. Really all up to you! To all the EX - AAA ppl no reuse of old drawings!

examples of vehicles: batcycle, tumbler, bat skiboat, batmobile, batwing.. etc.

tutorials on vehicles: Gnomon videos by Ryan Church, Scott Robertson and Harald Belker.

Aftermath hunting trip, grabbing some mutated octopus arms.. mmm. tasty

New Idea

I was wondering if you guys would be up for doing 3D Modeling weekly challenge. Works the same way as the drawing one but we just do a 3D model of it. People that aren't up for the 3D modeling part can still post their concept drawing of what you would have modeled if you did so.

We can still do the one hour drawings during the week, and we can alternate from the weekly drawing to the weekly modeling. The topics shouldn't be to large, just something that can easily be made in a weeks time.

Hope everyone likes this idea can't wait to hear what everyone thinks.

later.

Alan Tew's Virtual Sketchbook

I sent these links to Tony yesterday to check out. I used to visit this guy's website all the time a few years back, his sketches are hilarious. But he stopped updating it for quite a while. I just checked it out though and it looks like he's going to try to start updating again. As well, I did a google search on the games company he works for and they have their own little art blog set up too with awesome stuff. Worth a looksee.

An Old Portrait

Since Tony and Cat did their portraits of each other, it reminded me of this drawing I did of Tony back when we were in school. The only thing I didn't like about this drawing was that I made his neck way too long and skinny. Obviously the background sucks too.

Self Portrait

Last minute. ew
