Updates...

New updates that are hopefully going up on the website soon, as I desperately need to redo my 2D portfolios!

Psycho Girl

Yeah so it's been a long time since I posted so here's something I'm working on... for a Zbrush contest I know I can't win because I don't own a license! Might as well enter though. The contest is about making a superhero or villain. I opted for villain, and call her "Psycho Girl"!

Cue Drum and Bass:

Psycho Girl

After being physically and mentally abused by her parents and teachers, Lily Greene retreated into her own mind and hasn't come back since. In her place was a cold and ruthless killer-- a powerful psychopath capable of killing with a smile. She was found mutilating her parents dog with her bare hands and teeth and was quickly committed to Bedlam Asylum. Her latent psychic abilities began emerging after undergoing intensive shock therapy. At first, it was exhibited by causing other mental patients severe migraines. Those housed closest to the young villainess eventually died by having severe aneurysms. With every shock therapy session, her powers grew-- until one day she found she could emit electromagnetic waves in short blasts, simultaneously destroying her strait jacket's bindings and almost every physical structure around her. She walked out of the asylum, destroying everything, and everyone in her path. She is a loose cannon and needs to be stopped!

Powers:
Short Electromagnetic bursts, with which she can propel objects, people and herself into the air for a short time. Can act as a form of telekinesis, a shield and an electric cannon.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't stand up well against forcefields, invisibility... or anything that might trigger a headache. Though she's very powerful, she gets tired very quickly and has the physical vulnerability of a normal human.

Going my way?

"Going my way?"
Completion Time: 2 hours.

Also made a desktop background for fans of the undead hitchiker:

In other news... the move to London is happening! Also the website and new portfolio are FINALLY done, the most major part of which was my storyboarding a section of "Mind the Gap" (a short film by Simon A. Brown that hasn't been made yet.) Old scripts = good practice.

So check out my website at www.fractalbot.com!

Speedy Ship

"The Syrinx"
Ok... kind of speedpainting at 2 hours...
... but still faster than usual. So some improvement there.

Made for Conceptart.org's Deep contest, under the Industrial design topic.

Named the Syrinx after the extremely large but delicate shell. The ship moves slowly in deep water, travelling in some of the earth's deepest natural trenches. The expansive viewing dome provides an excellent viewing space to some of the world's strangest creatures: the trandsparent but deadly deep sea life.

space armour

Some space armour thumbnail sketches... approx. 1 hour

Nothing new here except I'm beginning a new self-imposed storyboarding project. And there's nothing I hate more than composing my own shotslists! More on that later...

Would also love to refer you to an excellent website I found earlier... Idrawgirls.com. Great FREE video tutorials and lots of great art/forum stuff. Check it out.
