Écorché of a horse

Écorché de cheval

This is a copy of a muscle study of a  horse.  The study I found here.  I am going to take this and put it in a study to follow.

Orc - Game On!

This just popped out of nowhere.  To be honest I had some time off and decided to do a piece and finish to as polished a level as I could achieve with an eye towards building a portfolio. I worked on the first piece for about a day.  At the end of that I just took a break to doodle.   If was a value piece.   

The next day I continued working on it and got it finished in a surprising short time. It was a real texture fest.  This is a real step up for me, which is great but now the bar is higher...............

Hands study

Hands Study

Followed on an Awesome Horse demo on hands.  Always a tricky subject so the practice was useful. 

Tank engine study

Tank engine study

Still working on mechanics.  This was a study I did mostly as an exercise in patience.  It was just about observation and modelling.  I could have continued to refine but i think I got what I needed from it.  This is a photo of a tank engine.  Massive.

Tank Study

Tank Study

This is the second in a series of get better at vehicles/mechanics.  This study took about 6 hours also.  I think things went a bit faster doing this.  

Helicopter Study

Helicopter Study

I decided to do a series of vehicle / machine studies to work on my edges and get some workflow going.  I have actually avoided doing these kinds of things but I want to start working on these kinds of things.  Because of the nature of these studies I am going to spend longer than the unusual 2- 2.5 hours I would spend on these things.  This one took about 6 hours I think. 

Bloodsports 12 Final

Bloodsports 12 Final

Here is the final label designs for the Bloodsports 12 challenge.  

Below are the 4 variants plus the labels printed on bottles.

What I learned - I should have printed these at actual size earlier to check readability.  The mountain images should have been larger, reduced the size of surrounding graphics and I probably put some white on the title text to make it pop more.
