Creature Concept Design Development

We moved further with my class with the silhouette and design development. Now each of my students have to develop a `pilot` and a `vehicle` with the theme Ultimate Space Race. I based my class demo on the same thing, so here are my sketches for my ultimate racer. :)

Locus Origin - Terrans

I am working on a really cool project for a private client for more than 1.5 years now. It started as a scifi rpg, but now we are more building the whole world... imagine 40+ races on various planets rocking on cool spaceships... one word: awesome! :)
As the first part of the story is gonna go live soon, I am allowed to show a bit of a sneak peek...

I have got a link to an image from a friend on Twitter this morning. Its probably nothing, but funny anyway, so I thought I share it... <:)

Facial Expression Demo

I was extremely busy in the past week and I still have 2 deadline ahead, but slowly I catching up with my blog stuff as well. Till gather my pencil doodles and find the time to scan them, here is a demo I have done last week for my cg and concept art class. We were doing reference photos about each other and then each student had to apply the same facial expression onto an imagined character.
I had lots of fun doing mine based on my own weird portrait, so hope you gonna like it as well. <:)
