DIVINE LIGHT SEVEREDREVERTING UNCOMMITTED CHANGESREBOOTING FROM LOCAL COPYnah just a couple more sketches from a meetingthinking about crates and mcguffins as soft sell narrative tools

Some old concepts that might be fun to model when time permits

Jan Eisenloeffel clock from 1908 or after and Frank Lloyd Wright's Ennis House. I try not be an art history bore, but these pieces were a sort of 'aha' moment for me on the transition between what we later knew as Art Nouveau and Art Deco. There wasn't a clear break

I like the end result well enough but I think I'd prefer to have designs like this end in 3d models rather than paintings. I want them to move and do things

A couple little sketches warming up. Springer gas grenade launcher is meh but I like that weird forward mounting for the reflex sight. Also found myself thinking about sci fi crates and greebling. I think that detailing for effect works more believably with vague purpose in mind

2014-16 process. Helpful to be able to get the designers proxy models at the rough stage for daily builds immediately after getting AD signoff but still be able to render it fully if needed for that sweet sweet VC pitch money

Going through some archives as time allows. Ancient concept, old model, new render. Really not up to standards but I like how it looks in Redshift

rendezvous

Playing around with shapes and surfaces. I hope the air conditioner works

It probably wouldn't be terrible to turn this one into a real boy soon as well. Probably faster as I won't (hopefully) dither on the rendering style

Waiting. Idle thought about the aesthetics and range of motion in attaching a manipulator to a weapon mount as opposed to vice versa

2015. Like the idea but the design lacks visual focus. The cable laying priapism is hilarious in hindsight. Might redo and go to 3D early w/tracks on the lower legs to check fit

2013 and 2016 are like peanut butter and chocolate. I wish I'd mixed them sooner! That is, semi-tight linework over painted forms

Wow two years already. I think this was the first painting I did where I really started to feel confident with light

2007-2008 is when it all felt like it was coming together and I look back on that period fondly, rough as that work was around the edges

I don't remember turning Tom Servo into Giant Robo but here we are. Another one I should finish unless I'm murdered by my own common sense too soon

I should finish these but my workflow has also changed since I made them. Quandary but a potentially interesting one. Also realizing I really prefer my Intuos3 to a tablet display (colors resolution posture etc.)

As far as retrofuturistic 1950's influences go I wouldn't mind seeing a little more Harley Earl and a little less Buckminster Fuller

#artistsontwitter is trending. Hi there I'm Mike and I do concept art for the game industry (mostly vehicles and weapons). Nice too meet you!

Big hard brushes. Trying to get loose and confident with my strokes

Sketch and some basic cleanup and color

Above the clouds. Sketch during a meeting

Biome concept work in progress for GALAHAD 3093

Working on this and that for a little while before I get back to work
