Done and Dusted

O hai,

Well, I just finished up drawing the turnarounds for the final design of the Banshee spacecraft, which I had mentioned in an earlier post. The design was still in the development stage at the time that I had posted the art for it.


And, as promised, I have here the final turnaround for that ship. I am glad to have finished it ahead of schedule and how the final design looks. It was pretty fun designing this and I cannot wait until I get to see the final 3D model for it. Should be fun :)

Ciao

This. Is. Simply. Beautiful

Nothing new so far, still working on the turnarounds for the ship and just been at home for the past few weeks. Could really use a change in scenery soon. Nonetheless, this is just an inspiration post and you're in for a treat

Enough said, this is just an amazing piece of work. You'll be dead on your tracks with it.

Enjoy, because I did

Open for business

Hey guys,

Happy to announce that commissions are now open. For now, I'll only take in seven commissions at a time, because I have commitments to other projects which have deadlines within the month, so please bear with me for the next couple of weeks. Now, most of you (especially those who are familiar with, and use DeviantART) are accustomed to fixated prices for particular types and, I guess, the amount of artwork (such as busts or lineart or cell-shaded etc.).

That's all well and good, as it is a plus for those with tight budgets. However, this is where it becomes a little different:

The way I work is that I treat you as my client, where there is a brief for me to follow and will keep communicating with you to ensure that the work is to your liking from start to finish. I don't have fixed rates, but I will give you a quote as to how much it may set you back, depending on the time I can spend on your request and how complex your request is. I try and work with most things and subject matters, but here's a couple of the things I can offer:

- Linearts (from busts to full body)
- Character and Vehicle Design
- Full-detail centrefold/cover pieces

For those who do know me as an artist, I specialise in traditional mediums such as coloured pencils and ink. I've got what I feel is a basic grasp of the digital medium, but I've used digital in my design works, so to be up to par with industry standards.

Commission Slots (these will be updated as they come):

3. -

Examples of my work can be seen in my DeviantART (schwarze1.deviantart.com) and some of the earlier posts in this blog. But other than that, that's all there is to it. For any further queries, or if you would like to get a quote, you can drop a line to my email (djgutierrez07@live.com)


Have a nice day

August Already?

Hey guys,

Time really flies when you get busy, but I can't believe it's August already. Moving right along, I'm just going to upload a couple of pieces of artwork that I have done for another client. This time, I've started off with designing one of the ships that they will model and use in their project. It's been given the green light for final design and turnarounds, so I've been at work with cleaning the lines up and giving it that edge that will make it stand out.

The design process was pretty straight forward, that the silhouette process wasn't really required, considering that they had a clear cut idea of what they had wanted in terms of shape and particular details on the vehicle. It's called the Banshee, so the design has to be fitting to the name. Nonetheless, here are the two concepts I had drawn up for them:

This is the first concept, but I had to think bigger
This was more like it


Still a few things here and there for the final design, because I am also getting it ready for producing turnarounds. I will upload them at a later date, once they're done.

Really kicking myself for not updating this as often. Keep on drawing, Ciao.
