colour study thing(?) inspired by some work i saw on DA

that's better

[3v3ryb0dy]

heh just watched drive yesterday, did not connect your picture to that.

[ChestyMcGee]

it's sooooooooooooooo good

now i walk everywhere to the soundtrack

[ChestyMcGee]

Edited:

oh the picture is taken from the perspective of a refueling aircraft. that's the hose and the connection. it's not out of perspective

Fair enough

[ChestyMcGee]

sadly this won't be done in time for my dad's birthday as i've gotta go to work now. ah well, i'll finish it tomorrow

[Eltro102]

you should paint his head in instead of whoever that biker is

That would go completely against the whole thought and idea of the gift.

[ChestyMcGee]

i guess that'd get a laugh but it kinda removes the whole point of the painting

if i wanted to paint my dad on a bike i would have just used a photograph of him racing as reference instead of sheene

regardless, i can't do it today sadly

[Viper123_SWE]

To bad, finish it even if it gets 1 day late, i'd be happy anyways.

[ChestyMcGee]

looooooooooooooosing the will to live

Edited:

wtf THAT'S how little i did. holy shit that was like 2 hours work. fuck this is why i now hate and have moved away from doing realism and over-rendering

[Viper123_SWE]

It still looks like sex, keep it up!

i know its probably like that on the ref but the way his leg disappears into the wheel looks strange, you could maybe add like a knee guard to break up the blackness and give some sort of feeling that there is still a leg there

[Barnhouse]

i dont think that's necessary, why even draw attention to that area

started painting a plane. i love planes but they are so hard to paint

Edited:

oh yeh traced the ref cos i'm just bored and doing nothing at uni today so stressing out trying to get perspective right on a masterfully engineered machine is not what i want to do today sos

Especially the one you picked. The F-100's were mostly bare-metal (Aside from the ones in SEA). That should be interesting/fun/rage inducing to paint. Good luck though, you definitely seem to have the skills needed to make it work.
I look forward to seeing a finished one.

yeh you just reminded me there's a little bit of dark red in the shadows to paint that shows the knee guard

[ChestyMcGee]

looooooong storyboard

































Edited:

it's basically top gun

[ChestyMcGee]

finally done

[Detlef]

traced :(

Edited:

but nice rendering anyways

[ChestyMcGee]

yeh :(

well a lot of it. mostly the fiddly bits of the bike chasis and all the graphics and stencils n stuff because fuck working that out

(i'm not interested in the subject matter nor do i understand it in detail)

[ChestyMcGee]

i hate 3d

[PLing]

poor 3d :(

[DOG-GY]

3d is so great though

[ChestyMcGee]

fuuuckin h8 it m8

[ChestyMcGee]

one day i will never have to touch this medium ever again and i will be happy

Edited:

wtf is the shading doing seriously

[DOG-GY]

weird what do the wires look like

[ChestyMcGee]

probably fucked to hell i wish i understood/cared

[ChestyMcGee]

quick sketch to go in a design document



Edited:

messed about with that old vehicle design. also going in the design document

[ChestyMcGee]

design document pages:

[ChestyMcGee]

turns out my shading errors are just the realistic lighting setting being dogshit:

[ChestyMcGee]

hahaha it looks like his head's on backwards

brill

[CMB Unit 01]

You have a real talent. I enjoyed reading your GDD as well, sounds like an interesting game concept :)

[ChestyMcGee]

thanks that's very kind of you

[ChestyMcGee]

this is not quite as awful as expected

[ChestyMcGee]

fuck it, it's done

Edited:

[ChestyMcGee]

started another motorsport thing as a present for my brother's birthday





gonna be much looser than the last one i did (it was so boring to paint)

i dislike painting these sorts of forms - highly reflective carbon fibre and the like

Edited:

silhouette is from gridded reference

[ChestyMcGee]

Edited:

and now onto doing pencil studies and speed paintings for the rest of the summer. time to learn again

[MakoSkyDub]

Yeah I would move sharply away from gridding refs, you're better than that

[ChestyMcGee]

maybe so for some stuff but tbh if it's a present for someone and i have no real interest in the subject matter (beyond enjoying the video games a bit) then i'm not going to spend hours perfecting the proportions of a very complex and mechanically perfected object

[MakoSkyDub]

Fair enough

I do loathe F1

Though you make it sound like you'd have to take a night class and put together engines and shit like that, what I meant was you could eyeball it without too much trouble

Anyway can't wait to see some traditional stuff
