Some stuff I played with - trying to get some concept work. No quite there but practice makes perfect they say (we'll see if they are right).

I really like the images, are they tests or are they from an animated short that you are working on? What did you use to create them?

Beautiful colors and shadings, well done!
I also wonder in what app you made them?

I saw a request for concept artist for an independent game company I know. The enemies are these sort of weird swarm enemies. I decided to try a few. Unfortuantely not what he was looking for but I figured I'd try some more to see if I can get the hang of it.

I painted the first image in ArtRage and then worked it some more in Photoshop. The second I drew the outlines in Flash then brought it into Photoshop to color. The third I couldn't get the perspective right so I dragged out a few primitive shapes in 3DS Max, set the camera angle and rendered the outlines and brought that into Photoshop as a layer to paint and mix with other layers.

Bupaje, These examples are really more your kind of thing. What I mean is that these have more of you (artistically, as your style) in them.
The first creature,as I see it could be the basis of a new animation and space would be the sea........see?

Thanks for the kind words ingie. :)

Here are some tests in 3DS Max for a required 3D special effects bit - trying to work with the lighting, caustics and reactor -3D is still not a comfortable fit but I do like playing with lighting and environments.
