Studies of Michael Loos

Hi guys, It's been a while. Right now i'm doing a lot of storyboards i re-read the the story and now i'm planing out the guidelines for my Diploma. So basically the only things i do right now are thumbnails, design sketches, storyboards and the bigger part of the construction brain-work. I've even made some sort of battle-plan, on how I intend to approach the work. So about those sketches, they were mostly for fun. The Mech-suit designs are still somewhat unrefined. The Mechs on top, were done with some design background in mind and might even be an early stage of the designs, i'm running with for the project. The bottom one however was just some random custom-brush-inspired speed-painting thing. I didn't spent more than 2 hours on either of them. Those are the things i enjoy most at the moment. I found this thumbnail and storyboard stuff to be hard work. It might somehow be connected to the fear of the white page thing, where u stare at the blank page just refl

Hey Guys not much to say now... These were all some fun doodles in between. I really love experimenting, the robot is the result of some fancy techniques i picked up and mixed from various great artists like Anthony Jones, Feng Zhu and recently the great Scott Robertson. Now that i try to save as much time as possible it appears that the right technique at the right place can save a lot of time, pain and work. There is still many a pointless brushstroke in there, but to get this result within 2 and a half hours makes me happy, when I compare it to the stuff, I did just half a year ago. Yes, Yes it still sucks I know, especially because there is like no real perspective, except from the atmospheric one, but i'm happy it sucks a little less than before. Have a nice week guys regards :) Michael
