The Art of Krayne

Post by Krayne » 22 Oct 2012, 02:29

A collection of mostly 3D art, concept sketches, animations and tutorials.

Hey all, had a thread here many many years ago, and have been very busy since then, hardly a moment to myself what with university and then work and then trying to find better work.

Moving on, I have decided to make a new friend since I couldn't find me old one (must've been deleted cause it was so old hehe), unfortunately I have too much work to just post in one go, going to post maybe... 3... maybe more after a day or two.

Anyway, going to try and keep this thread active, once I have spare time in my extremely busy life, will also try to do some tutorials, I've already started recording myself doing all this work and have 1 video on youtube, with more to come.

Without further ado, here is my work :D

A 1950's Ambulance

Alien Head
Image
Alien Body (minus the head... still working on that)
Image

These are projects I am currently working on
Robot 1
Image
Robot 2
Image

One of my videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-LpSkRLndU&feature=plcp

So yea, hope those images aren't too big, critique as much as you want (and be critical :D ) and hopefully I'll get some tutorials out for all of ya.

PS, these were all done on the software Autodesk Maya (I am using the student package), if anyone is looking to do work like this, either get the Student version of Maya/3D Studio Max, or download Blender.
Blender is just as good as what I use, it used by professionals to make films and animations but its free, so definitely worth checking out

Wow! Everything is so amazing! I've been experimenting with MakeHuman but your aliens are wonderful! Your ambulance is incredible, but I don't see any breaks in the panel for the doors? I think your first robot has feet that are too small for a bipedal machine, considering his hands (lifting or pushing, I'd guess), but that may just be me.

As always, this is only my personal opinion, you may reject anything I've said.

Hello again! Nice to see you here, and it's especially nice to see your amazing art! Your 3D work, like [mention=17199]Expendable[/mention] said, is completely amazing. I love that you have light gleams and reflections in the paint job. The detail makes it all the more real.

I really love your magician drawing. What medium did you use for it and the others?

Please feel free to come post in our spam thread and get to know everyone!

Thank you, thank you very much, once I'm done with Assassins Creed and got it out of my system, I'm looking to do a few short video tutorials so people can try them too.
The Magician guy was done entirely on Photoshop, it's practically the first step in using a wacom tablet properly, all previous attempts were.... uncomfortable.
All the other drawings were pen on paper and then scanned in, photoshopped the colour.

:D

Trying to come up with a really cool spaceship design that at the same time is simple enough to model (i.e basic shapes can be seen, cube, sphere, cylinder).

Anyway I have here some silhouettes that I quickly drew out (video is coming soon, once I have done a voiceover), anyone care to help decide which to develop further.

I'm hoping to get at least 3 choices from here to push further, add more detail and colour and then take onto doing my first 3D Modelling Tutorial.

Wow, those are really cool! Did you use any references, or did they all come from your head?

[mention=16632]Reine[/mention] Thanks, for Robot 1 I've been able to finish the rigging part of it (giving it virtual bones so it can animate :D ) Added a broad stroke of colour, will finish it later, but at least I can make some animations with it. Robot 2, I need to return to once I have time.

[mention=1782]Zen[/mention] The cars and Robot 1 were from reference, but everything else is from my imagination. Sometimes when I'm bored I just draw shapes and squiggles, or get someone else to do it.... then with a pen I start going over lines that interest me, until it looks like something :D

Been a slow week but here is some more work, mostly doodles :D

Wow, I thought that robot was a picture of a figure! It looks so real! That's incredible.

Today marks the start of my week holiday. Which means hopefully I'll have more work to show you guys :D .

First up is concept designs for a Tom and Jerry-esque animation idea I have. Only have 4 designs, but will be aiming to create 20 more and then get modelling and animating.
These designs need to have thin arms/legs, big noses, half-covered faces and very simple shapes. (in these, one is based on a triangle, one is rectangle, one is square and one is circle).

Image

Any favourites yet?

Over the week, should be working on: Good vs Evil, Yellow Robot, Spaceship and doodles.

hehe thanks, I originally drew these in static boring poses in my pocket sketchbook, decided to make them more interesting when I redrew them on Photoshop. Need to somehow make 20 more different shapes or just 5 variations on these four.
Mr handwriting use to be very very bad, to the extent I was made to attend a handwriting class after school when I was in college, just so teachers could read my work hehe. I still prefer to write in capitals though, I find it neater.

Good news and bad news...

The good I have more "Good V Evil" Characters. 6 Done, just 14 more to do :D

The bad... the nib on my tablet pen and has worn down... will have to find a shop that sells more...

Anyway here they are, the linework isn't as clean as my last 4 but I still like them... I tried having skin colour for the skin and it just wasn't working, will keep them all white, adds to the effect I think.

Thanks, I have had an amazing birthday this year, and all without the use of Alcohol which is a first in quite some time hehe
In related news.... You must watch The Hobbit :D

And in more related to the topic news... I've got a Hobbit inspired drawing I did, a sort of caricature of me finding the one ring... needs a bit of a cleanup and a Photoshop translation :D
