All right boys and girls, this is our SSG thread, lets try to keep her updated. It doesn't have to be updated daily, but lets try to keep her afloat shall we? Since I'm starting this little party, I'll be first to post some stuff I'm been putting down on paper recently as of yesterday.
I've seen some artist on this site do really cool silhouette thumbnails for ideas, because the silhouette is all about reading basic shapes and how they work together to create a unique or interesting concept. Now before doing these I really thought it was going to be easy. Damn I was wrong, they can be really challenging especially for me because I have a bad habbit of drawing the same designs over and over so I really had to push myself to try different ideas, especially when I didn't like where the inital design was going. But the cool thing about using marker is it makes it easy to block in masses and make changes quickly.
Another thing: it didn't seem like it would take very long to fill a page, WRONG AGAIN, the time really ticks by when your engrossed in a creature design, thinking about "what if I try this with the torso, maybe the legs should be inverse, or bent back" So with these thumbnails I was working on creature/alien designs, trying to create different and unique shapes that might inspire me to draw some interesting creatures. So far I'm happy with the progress, A lot of them turned out ok, a lot really bad, but I had a lot of fun doing them.
I would like to get some feedback from the SSG and CA members alike letting me know which ones you like and if you don't like any, ones you hate the most and why? Or both if you want. I've numbered most of them so let me have it. Thanks for viewing everyone.
Draw until your fingers bleed!!!!
