Anti-Air radar

Anti-Aircraft radar emplacement silhouettes.

Still working on my Stähl Marz final, but figured it would be a good idea to return to exploring new ideas for Steel Stag.

Flag Sitter

I really should get back to Stahl Marz... one last random, showing painter some love.

Cartoon Mazda 3

Did this last night, had it set up right before the blackout, so I did it all to battery power.
Figured I should stretch my cute muscles.

Explosion legs

Been watching Feng Zhu's tutorials these past few days, and how Jeff Simpson works on Muddy Colors so I thought I would give it a shot.
Dropping photo textures is something I'm going to need to practice if I go that route.

Voodoo soldier

Another quickie, an idea I've had for the past week or two.
A break from working on Nicole's website and building a perspective grid for my Stähl Marz piece.

Random painting: Lipstick hat

Taking a break from the regular scheduling, mostly because building a perspective grid is going to be a pain, and I tired of working on Nicole's website.

Stahl März thumbs round 4

Took my favorite design, fixed the legs and some of the other details, and did some color studies.

Stahl März thumbs round 3

Picked out 5 favorite silhouettes and elaborated on them, making a few variations on each.
I'm not happy with any of the legs, I'll have to look at what other people have done.

This was by far the longest phase yet.

Stahl März thumbs round 2

Going through more thumbnails that reflect my decision to go with a hexapod (six legged) design, with a lot of armored car influence.

Stahl März thumbs

Thumbnails for Ianfodder's Stahl März WWI walker "commission."

Arnesaurus

I followed Arne Niklas Jannson's process tutorial yesterday. How did I not think of this before?
Using greys for the line and the shadow layers made me wonder if there would be a difference whether I used warm or cool greys. Turns out the final rendering has a much bigger impact.

WWI tanks

Doing some studies for a possible commission thing at dA. A thing which I need to dig up.
British Mark IV


French FT-17

Lizard soldier

Why is it so hard to find a painting to study? Probably because I can't decide, or lack of confidence in being able to reverse engineer the brushes used.

So I scribbled.

Marine PIV

Inspired by ProgV and that guy that said high school kids who have never been schooled have better work than I do.
