I posted stuff about al.chemy on my last post and here's the ones I did.
Its archived in my sketch section if you wanna take a better look later on.





RIGHT CLICK / OPEN IN NEW WINDOW FOR FULL SIZE









NOTE:
Iam not gonna be concept arting for about a week because I have to go freelance at Prolouge Films for a bit.

But rest assured, I'll still be posting goodies on this blog still!

Do you guys remember playing street fighter and hearing weird things when ever they did a move? Like Sagat saying "TIGER UP YOUR BUTT"!

This is Al.chemy.
Its a program where you can make random shapes and your suppose to use them to create what you see in them.

Download at http://al.chemy.org/


--> AS ALWAYS TO VIEW, RIGHT CLICK AND OPEN IMAGE IN NEW TAB OR WINDOW <---

Here are a few samples











I created a Few samples if you want to try it out!
If you guys got any you want to trade, hit me up.
I'll do yours and you can do mine and we can exchange.

If you want different specific ones to work on like a Face, monster or a vehicle, hit me up also and I'll make you a new batch!


Samples

Second version of my space grunt.

The reason why it keeps on changing the direction it faces is because I flip the canvas all the time to insure that it looks alright when its mirrored.

Anyway, I only work on it like 30 minutes a day because I been busy with other non concept art works.

Still blotchy. I liked the stand on its toes look but I wanted more of the "Iam going to rape u in the butt" armor feel rather than the "I'll just run away from butt raping situations" armor.

I'll refine when I get a version I like.


NOTE: If you want to view it in regular size, just right click on it and open in new window or tab.




Compared to the first version, I say it doesnt look that bad.

Pretty cool place for textures.

Good for motion graphic grunge makers or people who like skinning things in Maya.

Also, I shifted some stuff around on my space grunt drawing and here it is.

I like the stilt thing but I dont like how that leg is shaped. I think I'll keep it stilts but have a few toes to give it more balance.
Then clean ups and texturing.

Also here are a few images I found on the net to get ur child like creative juices flowin'

Old Skool scholastic children book illustrations!

In other news, Tatsunoko vs Capcom is in development. I might finally pick up a video game console just to play it. Probably a Wii so that I could pick up No more heroes and Streetfighter 4 along the way.

Yes, I said it. Not a PS3 or an Xbox but a Wii.
Why? I think First person shooters are repetitive (especially when every one of them is always set in World War 2) and I don't really play video games often enough to play another other then pick up and play titles.

I'll eventually pick up Okami too and maybe other CLovestudio titles like viewtiful joe along the way.


Also KungFu Panda is out and iF you havent checked out the concept art book for it, Its pretty awesome. I'll try to find it for you guys.

Anyone have the New Bionic Commando concept artbook or perhaps some Golden Axe beast rider (yeah i know the game is fucking horrible) art books?

From the previous entry, I kinda doodled around with it and made another version.

Iam done with school (for now) so this is what I pretty much look like.

Iam currently catching up on missed hobbies such as movie watching and stuff.

Iam currently reading Watchmen and Hellboy comics!
Iam also saving money up to buy Ashley Wood's Dos Tarino, WWR Bertie figurine, and the New popbot collection!

Also, I have to start looking for a job.

Until then, the many faces of Steve segal
