Republic Heavy part 2

I finished a coloured version of my republic heavy concept drawing. This took me... a long time. But I'll be doing a lot more in the future.

I like the shininess...

Fresh from Adobe Illustrator: Eagle Wing Diagram. Should be easy to follow..in case you find yourself wanting to know the subtleties and nuances of eagle wings. Interesting tidbit: The Alula or Bastard wing is used to slow the bird down the same way airplanes use drag fins. I know!

Ipod

Ipod project I developed using Strata. Strata is a 3d program like sketchup or maya. It was interesting to use and I have another project that I'm using strata for that I will upload when its finished...that will take a couple weeks though. Strata is good...ONLY when you know how to use it. At first its one of the most unintuitive, complicated, out of its way frustrating programs I have ever used. And I use windows, so thats really saying something :P

edit: I reuploaded the image so you can click and view the whole high res malarky

Egypt is contagious

In history class yesterday we explored artwork in ancient Egypt and I couldnt get this idea out of my head. I'm not sure anymore what provoked it but I was thinking about the God of War series and how pervasive Greek mythos is in game culture, like God of War. I thought about the contrast between Greek and Egyptian architecture and how interesting it would be to have a God of War like game except have it in Egypt. Didnt like having it a God of War clone though (albeit not a bad thing) thought about having a more slinter cell like approach. I even doodled in my notebook a main character against a wall, listening in a conversation between guards in a nearby hall. Anyways this is the drawing that was born from it. I actually used egyptian military garb as a reference for the big fella there too, and his tattoo (a perversion of the known 'eye of ra' motif)

I'm going to try and do some coloured versions of these in the next little while. I need the practice haha

Republic Heavy concept

Pen drawing of a heavy soldier somewhat based on the designs of republic clone troopers from the star wars prequels. Ultimately it doesnt resemble their style much save for parts of the helmet and the black and white colour scheme. I designed it with the intent that it could be used plausibly in deep space. Heavy black material underneath the armour for insolation with the soldier in a 'flight suit' with a vader-like breathing apparatus. I cant really justify the gauntlet design scientifically, I just wanted to see if it would work and/or if it would be an interesting concept for the hands. Of course I had to make the rifle's appearence a reflection of this new design. if you'll notice it's designed for a three fingered individual.

Earth's End Superman vs Hitler

You'll find this in the dictionary next to 'Awesome'. I've been trying something a bit different. One of my favourite online reviewers has a knack for lambasting bad comic books. I've been studying certain characters iconic of these awful stories and then redrawing them. This is Earths End Superman. Who does, in fact, fight Hitler (twice...or rather, two hitlers) in the book. Its loud, its stupid, it stars a superman who is only superman because of his name, and it's stupid. I know I said stupid twice but this book is really really mishandled. Since when does superman use a gun??

same style and technique as my deadpool drawing minus the black outline I gave deadpool

Royal Winter Fair Sketches

The horse is saying "neigh"

Those black strips are just pieces of black tape holding the tracing paper for the skeletal overlays on in case you were wondering.
