Howdy, chums.

Name's Chris, thought I'd start a forum blog thingo and post some WIPs, and finished paintings.
Happy to be a part of the community
I've recently been trying my hand at some more scifi related stuff, getting out of my comfort zone a bit as I tend to stick to the fantasy side of things more often.

Here's a pic of my latest WIP, he was meant to be a junkyard robot thing, although his armor is a tad bit more refined than what would probably be found in a scrap heap, maybe it's a future junkyard

In any case, C&C always welcomed and appreciated!

Welcome to the forums Chris :D. The designs looks awesome. Love how you've mixed some fantasy elements to the overall sci-fi theme (talking about the skull on his sword). Can't wait to see more ^^

[Chris_Gardula]

Thanks, Firathion. Haha yeah I can't seem to escape the fantasy side fully

another environment sketch, spent a little bit more time on this one. This pic was actually inspired by a post I came across while lurking through the old amateur art challenges for "Warm Light".

Some character designs that I intend to turn into pixel art form.

some basic compositional thumbnails in prep for the "Radioactive" art challenge this week. Heavily inspired by a game I played in my childhood, points to anyone who can guess it, should be obvious haha.
Any critique on these is appreciated, so don't hesitate.

Interesting thumbs ... I like number 3 and 4... I loaded up a character, so perfect u doing an environment my char can explore
best of luck

[Chris_Gardula]

I've decided to scrap the previous idea lol, and go for something character/creature based. Decided to do three basic comps, which ones do you guys prefer, if any heh, and again any and all critiques/comments are appreciated.
