Hyper Arting - HyperMode's Art Blog

Hey chums!

Finally gettin' back into the groove of posting a bit more frequently now that Art War is done-zo and I'm back on my pre-GDC crunch schedule.

First off, if y'all wanna follow me on ArtStation: https://www.artstation.com/artist/hypermode
There's the link.

I'm currently working on a small thing, a medium, thing, and a big thing at the moment as far as personal stuff go. Here are the small and medium things at the moment!

A slightly self-indulgent self portrait. Laid down some basic colors just a bit a go. If you know where I can find a high-res version of Overwatch's portrait frames, please let me know!

Heavy Weapons Guy Fieri (I'm 50/50 on keeping the Guy Fieri likeness, hahaha. I got a suggestion that I should try my hand at designing a fat guy, so I did. Planning on pushing some of the design a bit more, but overall, I'm happy with where it's going.

Still a bit to early to show off the big project, but I'll keep y'all posted!

I'm liking the style you've got. It looks very cool! As for the Overwatch frame, you could always just try to paint a hi-res one yourself using the one you already have as a base. It would probably not be completely exact, but it would do the job.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to see more of your stuff!

Hey friendos.

So I'm putting Heavy Weapons Guy Fieri on pause for the moment since I'm working on something a little more interesting!

First off, I did end up finishing my self-portrait.

Next, I started some iterations a modern military shot'em up guy that quickly turned into a future cup and then future samurai cop.

Whiiiiiich ended up leading my to what is now my weekend project.

So that's what's up at the moment. You can follow my progress on Henshin Hero Genji in the following thread: https://forums.cubebrush.co/t/henshin-hero-genji-wip/3379

Hit a bit of a wall with Super Sentai Genji, so I'm shifting gears to some other things in the mean time:

Liking your style, especially these last two.
That last one reminds me of Deunan from Appleseed

[HyperMode]

Thanks man! Always appreciate a comparison to another kick-ass lady.
Here are some updates on these two BTW.

One more sit down with him and he should be done-zo.

And I'm going full turn around with her.

[HyperMode]

Wrapped up my cyborg man!

[HyperMode]

Back again with some more updates!

Henshin Hero Genji's design continues to elude me so I'm going back to a pet project I've had on the back burner.

Temporarily named "Bug Squadron" until I can think of something better. What started as a super rough sketch in my sketchbook started evolving into the base of a really cool idea for a shmup!

I'm happy with the line up so the next step is gonna be moving forward with proper turnarounds for these characters.

[HyperMode]

Plugin' away at the turn arounds. Stag and Belula are blocked in. Moss and Hokk should be comin' in tomorrow.

[HyperMode]

Wrapped up the rear views for Moss and Hokk!

Up next is gonna be laying out their sheets and figuring out what supplemental sketches are needed.

[HyperMode]

Hey chums, back with some more art. Here's what I done did this week so far.

Thumbs for a Nomad Hunter character I'm working on.

A bunch of sketches based on trying to get the Overwatch appeal. I've decided that I'ma take the last one further as part of a bigger project.

And finally, back to bugs. This time, with guns!

And as a bonus, a couple of variations on the laser pistol that I did with the help of the lasso tool.

that's all for now! I'ma see if I can't post one more thing up tomorrow. Enjoy!

[HyperMode]

Back again with some more updates on my bug squadron concepts!

Rough color pass on Cpt. Belula.

And here's the first draft of her character sheet.

Also, here's a close up of the gestures and Thorax Booster for good measure.

[HyperMode]

Hey all, here's a quick one I did for May the Fourth!

[HyperMode]

Dropping in a sketch a little early since I'll be out of town tomorrow and through the next week.

Had an idea for a version of motown/disco girl groups (think Diana Ross and the Supremes) with performers who've had cybernetic implants and augmentations.

Anyway, enjoy, and see y'all in a 10 days!

[HyperMode]

Back from Japan! Here's somethin' I've been workin' on between yesterday and today to get back to my routine.

[HyperMode]

Hey chums! I've been busy on the street samurai this week. Don't have much time to do a big write up, so here's an image dump of what I've done so far!

[HyperMode]

Missed my wednesday post 'cause I was at E3, so here's a friday post instead!

Almost there with this one

Sketch of a rogues gallery.

And some progress on the line art of one of'em.

[HyperMode]

Not much in the way of quantity for updates today, but hopefully I make up for it in quality with this!

A gallery of the most ruthless cyborg gang in the streets of Chicago ca. 2086 AD.
They're part of another project I've had kicking around in my head, and hopefully by next week I'll have something to show in the way of protagonists! You can expect to see one of the characters I've done above make a return.

Enjoy!

[soluxos]

Your latest character designs are looking kickass, looking forward to the painting process! :3

[HyperMode]

Hey lovelies! Sorry I missed posting last week. Here's what I've been workin' on in the meantime.

Revisiting the samurai cop I started on back in March!

Some rapidfire heads, about 5 minutes each.

A supporting character from the same story the Iron Skulls are from.

And I'm workin' on some things for the Art Station contest at home. I'll post that biz up a bit later tonight!

@soluxos Me neither! I'll start doing that once I wrap up the protagonist sketches.
