VROOM!

Was painting this while listening to Steppenwolf's 'Born to be Wild'

Gud Morning

Got myself a couple of hours the other day while working the night at office. Started as a sketch and then as I looked out the window and saw the early sun decided to paint this.
Quickie, done in 2-2.5 hours. Heres the WIP.

Caution Cramps Ahead

Hello everyone, I know, its been a long time since I posted something here. Work is keeping me tied up and I really cudnt get myself to do something personally. And then, I got a chance with my old Buddies to join them for a trip to Coorg. Aaah! Bless them for it. Got to do a bunch of stuff life rappeling, nite rides, boating,swimming and partying too. Osome osome time, I recommend you all go there.

The only complain I had was the ride, a Swaraj Mazda 18 seater with absolutely no leg room. I am generally not a guy who complains, but it was my back which really took the beating.

And I felt like this.

Its not the best of stuff, I know...but I really had to post something and motivate myself ...Btw, Its a pencil work later worked on Gimp, which I am not really handy with..Will deff make a pass through PS too, if I am nearby.

Viva las FXlabs!

Two weeks back I put down my papers at my company Fxlabs, Where I was working for almost two years.

The company was generous enough to relieve me soon as against the a months notice, (the most weirdest time to
work!). Anyways I took the time to do what I wanted to do from a long time ... RoadTrip!...yeah..
I took my friends bike and visited my friends at Bangalore (600kms frm Hyd). That was refreshing change and had loads to think and ponder
the entire ride.

Now that I am back, I need to seek my options now. Probably now is the best time for my long time dream -
A Graphic Novel.
yep.. Lets see if I can do what I think I can do!

Wish me Luck!

p.s. Gonna miss my gang at Fxlabs-Rock on guys!

Updates

realised that putting in each and every WIP step will increase my scroll in blog..

So after a tea, my extremely productive grey matter has suggested me to video showing my steps... and the latest stage will be posted as a separate image...smart :)

Latest Stage - as of 10th april 2008
Need to work on hands, the left foot mite need work too..and what not!
At this stage, I can pretty well see where this is going...























And my WIP (pls wait whie it downloads)

Beauty and the balls

Another girl whose got the balls!..I know its much too cliche but cudn't resist having a piece of my own.
So heres a doodle from my work..


















I did find a lot of problems with the posture and costume. So a little bit of photo reference and costume redesign got me to here..



















Story and progress to follow!

POP, thermacol and a wedding!

Hey guys,
Lately took off from my work and visited my parents.. after a long time :)
And in between managed to attend my friends wedding too.. (I still can't believe, Anil got married!)

Anyways, I got a good opportunity to work on a backdrop model for his reception. The idea and concept were of my friend Lokesh and me and a group of friends(GK, Jan, and Sowgy) decided to help him out for the last minute dash.

Have a look..























And the final result.. And the bright couple too!














My sincere wishes for the couple...

It was a nostalgic spark of idea from my dear friend Altaf (CrazieCoder), who had played the hardcopy(?!) version of this game during his college days. After a discussion with him I decided to help him with all the artwork required for this game.
It was a refreshing change for me from all the 3d I do !


















About the game: Jus download and play!

And before I forget, Altaf used Torque Game Builder for all the coding... (fellow Artist, pls don try this at home!)
