Monkey love!

Some more value and color study. 

Back to basics!

I felt the urge to do some more observation paintings rather then elaborated paintings that takes a lot of time.
Kind of going back to the basics and study stuff, there's still a lot to learn.
So here I did a value study from a pic shot by my dearest, taken this summer.

I had to squeeze my eyes a lot while looking at the reference, this helped me see the values big shapes and biggest contrast, even though in this picture the contrast is very obvious. But it also helped me block out the color a bit so I could translate the color into a value.

I think and hope this approach will help me in my plain air painting, where values are very important to nail down.

More to come soon!
Cheers.

New website/portfolio!

I've collected my best stuff and made a portfolio out of it, check it out at www.carloslundhall.com!

Also I'm searching for a work placement as a 3D-Character artist at game studios all over Sweden!
So if you know somebody who's looking for, or if YOU are looking for a talented 3D-artist to work for you, for free (!), for six months, contact me! ----> carlos.lundhall@futuregames.se

Cheers!

Doodles

Some recent doodles, done while taking a pause from all the 3D work.
Also testing out some new photoshop tools, like the lasso tool technique. 

And here's some concepts for the Brawl contest over at gameartisans.org, I never got further than a simple 3dmesh based on the third concept. It's some different takes on Necro from the Street Fighter games.
