"I drew my dream" Speedpaintings

I've been wanting a way to practice more, but it's sometimes hard to find the materials to practice.
I found a solution by depicting my dreams :D It's perfect for drawing from imagination. They don't make sense sometimes but here they are so far!


#1: It was like a Game of Thrones at the Wall, but the buildings were snow forts and the weapons were snowballs. The battles were gorey and serious though. I had a dear good friend that was a dragon. He got like.. betrayed and sacrificed himself at the same time or something. This moment in the drawing was all emotional for me. Everyone thought the dragon was bad, but I couldn’t convince them.


#2: This time I was a fugitive in Greece or something. It was like a video game, every time I got caught it would start over at some house. Here’s the map, I had like a google maps moment in my dream. I would always make it to the pier usually. Oh fun outcome (it was a pretty long dream) The people made it into a festival. In remembrance of the “wrongfully accused”, they would all swim to the bridge in freezing waters.

#3: This one took longer. This much was clear… I was some sort of hoodlum. Living in like a mobile home apartment complex, kinda like a white trash Kowloon Walled City or Gotham? I definitely went and “sent a message” by destroying someone’s prized bass (orchestral bass, not electric)
I don't think I lasted long, the dream ended pretty soon after that.


 #4: This is as close as it’s going to get. I hadn’t had a dream the last couple nights, then I got this one. It was weird. I was lots of different people, lots of parachuting people. One time I was in a group of blond girls. It was urgent to get to the bathroom before base jumping. And everytime I found a bathroom it was smack in the middle of a busy hallway. It was like… 3 feet tall and cost a ridiculous amount of money (Later I found out it was “Albertson’s points”. what)
I needed to go base jumping.


....
I'll keep updating them as I draw them!

Drawing Binge


And so I've been on a dang drawing binge! It started out as a small break from the Horse Game since my brother was here, but yeah.. It's escalated.

#30: Plexxus Art Dump, Ecorche and ZBrush

Catching up V2! How to recap...?

Me and Andy decided that Plexxus was something that needed a bit more man-power than just 1 artist and 1 programmer. Wow... that was mentally draining. But I'm glad I got to know what that felt like. Learnin' from dem experiences! Everyone loves experiences.



But here's some older stuff that I never did post!

I wanted to help myself with the backgrounds, since they were taking the longest. I then discovered rendering in Vray and painting over it. REALLY helped sort out the lengthy perspective drawing and focus more on what I imagined than the technical details. Holy cow how many times have I redone this... 

I keep talking about Plexxus, but here's what it's about! 

















And here's a storyboard of the Arcade level cutscene.

Some sketches.

And some "Challenge Area" art. (The games you unlock after Oliver opens his own Arcade)

ECORCHE



ALSO! Some anatomy! I got the chance to sculpt every bone and muscle in the human body. It was SUPER awesome. Now I'm hyper aware of my own muscles contracting. Kinda cool :O


It's 1/2 life sized made out of oil based clay, took 14 weeks.









SKELETON

Here's the original armature

ZBRUSH

 I now have Zbrush!! WAY EXCITING.  Here's my first sculpt!! 


That too big-a head I need to figure the heck out how to shrink.





Crazy time mass of Z-Spheres. 


Took me an hour just to figure out how to put something on the canvas and be able edit xO
