Hello! Some of you may have seen my Airborne Pilots Production thread around, so I'd thought I'd make an art thread where I can post some of the concept stuff I've been doing for it (and other random sketches that might pop up every now and then.) If you're curious as to which production it is, it can be found here: http://voiceactingalliance.com/board/showthread.php?78898-OPEN-Airborne-Pilots-5M-5F&p=1205693#post1
Other than that, thanks for taking a little of your time to look through! Please do understand that a lot of these are mostly sketches and speedpaints with colour splashed on. I don't really spend much time on what's here (others have been worked on more than others, obviously, and some is stuff I did back when I was in school for stress relievers and, or, were assignments). Hahahahaha....
This was submitted to Pitch Party in Animation magazine which submitted entries and picked entries will get printed in the magazine. I submitted three entries. One made it in, another one was runner up and this one got honourable mention. This is the first designs I did of my pilots, Meyson Grant and TaeWoo Jung. (Illo is the armadillo. ) This is the "child-friendly" version of the picture below.
These are the initial designs for my pilots. They have changed then for easier animation purposes. (And to look older.)
Roda and Dan
More Pilots. Bianca on the top right was originally designed by Bad Luck (here on the forums). Redesign is by me.
Meyson and Roda
Dan and Bianca. I had to change Dan because this version looked a lot like one of my classmates back in school (and so it got very weird.) Bianca's original design was done by Bad Luck (here on the forums). Redesign is by me.
Some early development work. Brooke, aka Bravo was originally designed by Bad Luck (here on the forums). Redesign by me. But an early redesign.
Playing with "haircuts"
Early Dan work.
Dan and Roda
Meyson's Plane. Still under development. My pilots also do not fly F-16s anymore but planes from the 40s now.
The "cliche" pilot shot back in the day. I just had to do it.
Old Meyson portrait. He looks younger.
Old Roda Portrait. Looks younger--and a girl.
Anyways, I'll be updating this every now and then. Thanks for looking!
Your style is so unique and full of character. I like that most of these designs are balanced somewhere between a cartoony style and something more realistic. Your attention to detail also adds a lot to the characters and the surrounding environments. The amount of love and care you've put into these don't go unnoticed, truly. Beautiful art! Keep 'em coming!
