Me in the mornings before class...

 

 

[hide=older versions][/hide]

 

 

 

Starting a steampunk series which I hope to later model in 3ds Max. ("concepts" is just a placeholder until I decide on a title)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments and criticism is welcome. Any ideas on other objects that would look cool "steampunked" is also appreciated.

 

 

 

 

 

EDIT: updated snowman

did you use a tablet, or mouse?

I like it! :)

 

 

 

Look, some smilies have Santa Hats! :XD:

I love the first one

 

:

The Snowman is great :

 

And good start on the concepts :thumbup:

Really like all of them, and yea do you use a tablet?

I would think that he would. You wouldn't be able to get such precision with a mouse.

Yep, I use a tablet.

 

 

 

Is it just me or do the smilies appear HUGE?

How do the appear huge? The Santa hat probably adds a few pixels to them, and when there all in a row there is probably about 40 odd pixels extra now.

 

What tablet do you use?

Here's a screen of what I'm seeing:

 

 

 

 

:lol:

 

 

 

Oh, and I'm using an Intuos 3, 6x8.

I was seeing that before, but know they all are wearing Santa Hats ;)

 

'Cept for ;) and #-o

 

 

 

Would you recommend that tablet at all?

 

 

 

~Ouchy

It's a great tablet. I'd suggest a smaller size, though. The Graphire Wireless looks awesome, too. Pretty much all the WACOM tablets are great, and usually you can find decent prices at smaller computer stores.

Alright, thanks :)

 

 

 

I'll look into them after Christmas when they have sales and are clearing out old stock :P

I like the colours you used in the first one. The snowman looks a little disproportional (the head seems huge), but otherwise I like it.

 

 

 

I think the "steampunk series" is great! I love the textures, lineart, shading, the whole thing. Nice job.

What santa? :lol:

 

 

 

I see what you mean about proportion, though. Thanks! Will fix that shortly.

Uhh snowman :uhh:

I think both of them are actually really well done and thought out. Great atmosphere in the first one, though the perspective seems a bit choppy. 8-)

 

 

 

You don't mind if I have some fun?

 

 

 

Spam: #-o <--Hacks. :ugeek: . And my favourite :XD:

 

 

 

Great work, the steampunk will be epic in 3d.

Wow. Pretty awesome, I really like them.

I like the new one a lot! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:thumbup: as I would say in this situation... Sugoi!

 

 

 

Ever played iSketch? You'd be great at it x]

The shading on the middle part of the snowmans body feels a bit awkward if I'm honest, otherwise it's amazingly well done in my opinion :thumbup:.

The snow on the snowman looks more like frosted glass than snow. I like the idea but it seems like the snowman is tearing up, not sure if that's what you were going for or not. I think the trees look too conspicious if you were going for the quick/rough look for the background, maybe fade them more or use thinner lines. Those are amazing concept drawings, I like the background for them and all as well.

I really like the Snowman version of you - very creative. And the second sketch was excellent as well. The first sketch was much better than anything I could do, but not as good as the other two drawings. It seemed kind of plain. Other than that, awesome work dude. :)

Thanks guys. :thumbup:

Heh, I suppose the texturing wasn't as subtle as I had hoped for. I see what you mean, and I'll try to fix that in the next version.

The background is more or less a placeholder right now. I'm slowly chipping away at the scene part-by-part.

It does seem awkward. I'll try to fix that too, thanks. :)
