Bud's Crit!

Here's a quick adjustment paint over by my talented DA friend Wildweasel339, check out his work, he's amazing!

B&W WIP

Oh hey, really suprising myself by going B&W first.  I must have tone problems, because this one's coming out nicely! :)

Shaman WIP

Shaman Sketches!

So while I'm updating the cook, I started some thumbs for the shaman.  

There is just a huge collection of great shamans already, can't wait to add mine to the mix :)

Orc Chef complete

Okay, Mr Orc is complete.

Soon...

Refined Thumb

Ta da!

Poses

Thinking aloud

So here are some more sketches and studies I've done.  I'm toying around with the idea of making the chef a really posh looking guy or gal.  Everyone paints orcs filthy and I wanted to get that across using only his possessions, the character itself will carry a certain flair (I hope).  Hope you all like the sketches so far!  More to come!

And so it begins

All done!

Tiles!

Dark Elf Champion

D.Elf Archer

Dark Elf Ballista

With time constraints I couldn't focus too heavily on design, but I'm really happy with the layout even if I(we) can see the blaring mistakes, it works well :)

Mages!

New guys

Break to thank

Be grateful to those around you and the world will be grateful back :)

Peasants redone

I totally wasn't happy with the last result especially since it wouldn't scale well.

Here's the new one:

Here are some quick mock ups I did of the in game tiles:

(These are about actual size)

Peasants Rendered.

I'm wondering if I should push the detail further...

Good day...PEASANT!

Okay seriously, 3 figures in one drawing in perspective...The anatomy was a nightmare.

Can't wait for clean up and colours.  I really do hope I can pull this off! :D

The Musketman, she *COUGH* he, is completed!

Musketman

Another character painting for Giant Goblin Games

Hard work over, time for painting!

The Hobbistez eez complete

Miiiight tweak some spots now that I'm looking at it all 'uploaded' etc.

Render Update

After a brief render.  

Gonna sleep on it and come back tomorrow, hopefully with some more energy to polish him up and start the next in the series!  

Halfling Clean Up

Time for painting!

New painting commence!

Brief:  Halfling Archer, defender of a castle, ally to humans.

After some deliberating, I settled on the third pose.

Finished!

(Be sure to click the image for full few and detail!)

Character update!

Various Updates!

Below is some art I'm doing for a boardgame project for a dark elf 'infiltrator'.  Got the boys at Conceptart.org helping me iron him out. 

It's environment painting time at Schoolism!

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

It's friday, and time to hand in, I finished, learned a lot and discovered photoshop hates colour during exporting!

Wednesday Update!

ARRRGH, haven't had much time for work today between one thing and another, but here's the new step in my sketch!

Moved to a more manly position.  Also solidified more elements like hands and armour design.  His thighs will be covered in square scalemail probably.

Tuesday Update!

Another day, another sketch for Schoolism.  I actually lost an entire layer on this because I saved badly.  That'll learn me ! :P

Anywho, I do believe this gives me a better opportunity to stay loose.  I was doing it again XD

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

The beast... EEZ COMPLETED!

Wednesday WIP update!

Started the rendering and paint process.  Colours layed down.  About to jump into first paint over.

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

Fifth assignment.  This is the sketch I'm finally happy with!

(WIP, still adding final detail 55% there!)

This is a D&D monster, a devil in fact called a Kyton.  It is rapped in chains.  I wanted to give my own spin!

Lara Croft Thumbnail Study.

A short break into tonal study

I used the same sketch method I've been learning and then finished it up with a custom hair brush.  I think the result worked out decently.

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

Assignment 04 complete!!

What can I say, he's a good teacher! :)

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

Assignment 04 WIP.

I cannot begin to describe how hard I find drawing women and poses in general.  Glad I've had the practise, but it's clear that coming up with a good solid concept and pose is down to experience (like all things really).  I have settled on this pose and I'm busying working on the design now.  Nothing really set in stone at this stage.

I like vampires... honestly, who doesn't!?

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

Assignment 03 Done!

Moday Assignment 03 Struggles

I'm really trying my hardest on this new assignment.  I have come to the conclusion that painting in black and white tone is much more unforgiving than I thought!

Anyway, here's as far as I got today.  It's not bad, but I'm doing a lot of paint overs to get this looking halfway decent.

Schoolism With Andrew Hou

New character for Assignment 3!
(WIP)

I've been influences lately by watching a lot of period movies and series from about 1930s to 1950s.  Clothing designs back then were just awesome!
