TL Artist Directory - Page 2

Hi TL,

I'm a hobbyist sculptor/modder/tinkerer and love teaching myself things by just doing them and concentrating on improving my skills. I hold a PhD in theoretical physics, have worked in a couple very different jobs since my graduation and currently pay my bills pretending to be a software engineer. I have a general passion for teaching (juggling, sculpting, maths, ...) and improving my next man's overall life experience (despite being a devout atheist/humanist).


Feature 1: Stone Ultralisk - my first venture into sculpting things related to StarCraft. One of those "Oh gee, I wonder if I can do THAT" moments gone wild. I spent about 100 hours on sculpting and polishing this beast and I'm really proud on how it came out.



More complete pictures can be found in my making-of and tutorial right here on TL.

Feature 2: Baneling - from the same material. This one was a "quickie" (some twenty hours, according to my blog entry), mostly meant to teach me about silicone mold-making and casting copies from a simpler model than the ultralisk. The best copy was awarded to syno, the winner of the logo design contest for my shared workshop idea (which by the way ate most of my free time in during the last three months).



Work in progress/documentation:


Feature 3: Work in progress - Immortal made from prime sculptors marble. My first foray into primarily power tool work. Sculpting in marble is a way more physical experience because you really have to coax the figure out of the stone. I guess it will take me well into winter to finish this. Haven't worked on it in at least two months, so don't hold your breath.




Feature 4: Steampunk Keyboard Mod. "Gee, I wonder if I can make something like Rampkins' Buccaneer keaboard mod. Oh wait, it's my father's birthday in eight weeks, let's make him a present..."




Feature 5: Devotion - More classical sculptor stuff: nudes! The secret reason any man goes into art might well be that they want to draw, sculpt or have some other credible explanation why they're looking at and handling nude girl figures.

Hey everyone, I'm solidbebe. I'm an amateur drawer, not doing any kind of schooling but just drawing in my free time :D. I draw almost exclusively from games or anime or the like as you can see. The drawings that come out best are usually based off of existing drawings ( all of these except the second one, ezekiel, are). I have a terrible habit of not finishing drawings, mainly because it can take me hours to even get something half done. Anyways, I hope you can enjoy some of my (half finished) work!

Feature 1: This is a drawing of 48 from full metal alchemist brotherhood (one of my favorite anime!). I drew his helmet with the help of a picture and just filled in the rest, it's only a part of his upper body though. The more I look at it the more I don't like the shading but overall I could call it finished. It's also the first time I used blurring in the background.




Feature 2: Ezekiel is one of my favorite warhammer characters, so naturally I tried to draw him. I actually based it on his warhammer model:

This image is actually from a much much larger WIP and as such ezekiel himself is barely finished. I don't like the cloak nor the shading on the items in front of it. His sword isn't finished and there's a lot of sloppy drawing all over. Nevertheless I still like the look of his upper body.



Feature 3: Yep demon's souls. I'm actually more of a dark souls fan, I never really liked demon's souls. Nevertheless, I really liked the look of this dude on the game box:

So I drew it. Not much more to say, I like how this drawing turned out and it's the only one I'd confidently show as finished. Still, it's nearly 1 on 1 with the original image, not much of my own input here.




Feature 4: Finally something starcraft related !! I haven't drawn much from the starcraft universe mainly because it's units and characters are so difficult to draw ( at least for me). I drew this immortal a long time ago. It's extremely sloppy but if you don't look at it too closely I hope you won't notice. It's based on this btw:

+ Show Spoiler +




Feature 5: Another warhammer dude. This time a space marine librarian. I drew this from some picture -which I can't find online- in the Dark Angels codex. This really is one of those drawings where I spent wayyy too much time on and never really got anywhere. Barring the ugly fire and unfinished part around his waste he looks kinda okay I think. The unsized drawing was 140mb, so he'd look better a litte more up close. I didn't bother to cut the white parts out though because I'm an idiot.
