Landscape Design 2

Still work in progress

***UPDATE***

Update

New Concept Design Process

Recently i have been working on a process (much inspired by Dave, who works for Victor Animation Studios) which is where you model the main idea/subject then take it into Photoshop and alter it to make it look more realistic. We used this technique in a couple of Character Concepts for Starbugs and it worked really well, mainly because you can get a real texture and a better lighting system.

So from today i shall be creating my landscapes in model form then altering them in Photoshop. As you can see from my initial pictures and ideas it makes for a much better and more striking image.

First initial idea

Surreal Landscape Designs

Here's a few concept designs for some surreal landscape/structures. I'll later add my research and design ideas and inspirations.

Birdie Redesign

A slight redesign of an old character i created at uni, i still need to add a few things...

Updated Versions

Re-Worked Images

Using some techniques which i have learnt in photoshop i decided to try some old paintings...

Photography Testing

Recently I have been testing out some new effects in photoshop, mainly to extend my knowledge of the program. This is the first time i've decided to use either the shadowing tool as well as curves, levels and the channel mixer.

This will hopefully help me for later projects/paintings.

As you can always expect the first tries are usually the worst, so here are my first tries!
