Some work
They're from a pitch for an iOS game that fell through:
Oh well, better luck next time eh? ;)

More stuff
Some work of the past few weeks. I've been busy with job searching, art tests, pitches etc. and finally a small freelance gig.
This is from another CoW and a doodle.

I went for a front and side view ortho instead of an illustration this time
started from various silhouettes.
Cute critter
That's it for now, have a great day!

CoW 229
Hmm, another amphibious creature (this time it was explicitly in the topic though).
My take on CoW 229: Bouncy, Amphibious Rain-Dancer. I call it Sploop.
Description:
When the sun shines, we'll shine together
Told you I'll be here forever
Said I'll always be a friend
Took an oath I'ma stick it out till the end
Now that it's raining more than ever
Know that we'll still have each other
You can stand under my umbrella
You can stand under my umbrella
(Ella ella eh eh eh)
(voice over)Look, what a rare sight! We see a never before captured moment of a very shy and rare being. This strange creature is as if two creatures merged into one, having lungs for breathing above water and gills for under water, 2 sets of eyes and 2 brains and 8 limbs. This creature has both male and female reproduction organs and can reproduce by itself.
The native humans have a fable about the origin of the Sploop in which it describes how a very shy land creature spends the days alone, pining for a mate, but too shy to approach one. Then, one day it decides it can't live like that anymore and decides to commit suicide by throwing itself in the river. As it's about to hit the water a water creature surfaces and they accidentally kiss. The water creature was also alone, also trying to commit suicide, by throwing itself on land. They found each other in their desperation. But they wouldn't be able to live in either world separately, so they searched for a way to be together no matter the consequences. They found it by merging together.
Whenever it rains it starts a mating dance (by itself) by surfacing and flopping about on the water surface. It secretes an oily residue from their skin pores, allowing it to float on water with its' paws. The rain makes the land part wet, while it shields the water part so it stays relatively dry. For a moment the surroundings are reversed, to better understand and appreciate the differing parts. Once it's at the pinnacle of happiness it produces offspring and dies, which is pretty similar to the married lives of the humans that live there.
And a 30 minute caterpillar scribble for a pitch:

My first CoW
I participated in this week's Creature of the Week, over at Conceptart.org. I only saw it yesterday, so didn't spent a whole lot of time actually designing this creature. The topic: Fantasy War Mount! Too cool to let is pass by. I chose goblins (frog race would probably be better, but that wasn't one of the options). It's 90% aligator, 9% tortoise and 1% rhinoceros or so.
Anyway, mine turned out like this:

Some new work
I did my first paid freelance design job the other day, so a big shout out to the people over at Xform! ;) Go play their games, they're free and online!
With their permission, here are the robots I designed for them. It was a bit of a rush job, so only 1 view per design. You can click the image for a bigger version.
The player, kind of a souped up or v2 of the standard robot.
And my entry to the Rift: Create a Colossus contest:
The contest was to create a 10-story high colossus of a single plane (I chose 'death') for the MMO Rift. I started way too late of course, so was in a bit of a hurry with this one. Then again, I need to get faster anyway.
And a study of a fashion ad, just for fun and practice:

2 Updated CGMW images
Here are 2 images I worked on after the end of the workshop.
The jellyfish cities from week 5.
The final confrontation from week 6.
Some older vehicle work. Not something I do a whole lot apparently. ;)
