I am finally finished.

Like I said I changed The Idea of the Character while working on it. It is more like an Ice Warrior who lives Isolated in a northern wilderness ^^

It was pretty nice to work on this Character, and I learned quite a lot. For example to paint in grayscale first and color with gradient maps.
All took much more time as I wanted to spend on this. But the result turned out well I think. The feet are a bit wrong in perspective I think and the left Arm is not in correct size.

Just started the Creature drawing class.

For the first assignment I just searched for some photos and sketched them in about 30min each.
I did not focus much on the values. They are just there for a better feeling, when looking on the sketches.

For the next assignment I will use some different animal types

I also did the 2nd assignment

These are really rough. I just did it and tried to understand the Anatomy and did not focus on an aesthetic look.
I have chosen next to the deer an orca and a raven to see similarities and differences.

Now the Next is an Animal construction.

So I finished the first animal construction. I choose also a horse like in the Video because I will need this maybe more in future and also it was easier to get in to.
I also noticed that many of the muscles for the construction are just very soft visible. So my brush edges in the drawing are maybe to hard at some spots

There is the last Assignment

I will leave it by one for now. The creature drawing class was so far the most exiting class of the program ^ ^

These all look fantastic! Your final in particular is really cool

So I did the Mech Design

The Idea Was an Observation Mech for other planets with some weapons to defend against Alien creatures.

It is a bit messed up but I just make it worse somehow while keep going. I think It is my lack of knowledge of how to handle the lights.
I also skipped the 3d Stuff for now because my Zbrush trail is over and I would have to learn a new program but I do not have much motivation to work on 3d for now. Maybe I will come back to this point later.

Here is the Day and night assignment of the color and light class


The Landscape was a bit sketchy. Also, it was a bit difficult to apply the theory to something that is not static like the example in the video. But I think my color and light skills will get better with practice on different peaces while keep the theory in mind

There is the composition assignment. This one is made verry verry quick and rough. I took the first thing that was in my mind by looking on the principles and put it out in a few seconds each.
To get the real experience in composition I should practice the principles on actual images while keeping the theory in mind

Here is the first step of the personal project class: the name of the world

The plan is to revisit an old Idea of a fantasy story I imagined some years ago and give it live.

next I will create a little map of my world and after that I will do some pages with some characters from the different nations

Here a little WIP

I now have all the greater landmarks set. Now I will render the map out to a certain level. I aim for a Style like the World Maps from Ice and Fire. After that I will do a sheet for each of the nation, Including 3 Characters each to get a Feel of the Culture there.
For the Map I had a little pre-version but for the most of the following stuff I just have some rough ideas I want to do

Maybe I set the bar a bit to high for this but I always wanted to create more out of this World and I think why not now ^^

Finally Done!

It took a little other turn than I wanted first. But it looks well I think. I like the softer and more saturated touch on it.
sure I could work it out more some hours but I think that would be too much work for just slight changes.
I also participate on Inktober right now so the "real" personal project class project will be a bit slower ^^

excellent work, looks like it was ripped from the pages of Wheel of Time or Dragon Lance :+1:

So I finished the designs for the first faction out of 13. So it will take a while to finish all ^^

First I wanted to create a full rendered character painting for each but this would be a bit to much. So my plan now is just to add base colors and a simple shading/lighting after the drawing like these here. But it will still take some time I think ^^
