Into the Ember Ashes

Streaming some work for a few hours.

Sunday Scribbles. The Knight is a sketch done in 35 minutes using a new texture brush. And I've been meaning to study more Gundams because I really like the panel designs. So I took a few pictures with my phone and did a study, but wanted to show that it was in a hangar, so I added a small guy over-looking his mech. #art #conceptart #study #sketch #sundayscribble #knight #fantasyart #scifi #scifiart #blackandwhite #gundam #anime #armor #dibujo #イラスト#light #value #joechicoart #concept #design

Tried pushing it more, finding it difficult to find a fine line between keeping it loose and trying to render out certain areas. I think I'm going to chalk this up as a good lesson learned.  #art #fantasy #fantasyart #conceptart #concept #knight #armor #darksouls #blackandwhite #LARP #sketch #doodle #illustration #bighands #tinyhead #light #degeneration #sword #joechicoart #dibujo #イラスト

Sorry I've been MIA these past few days, been battling pneumonia. However I did manage to get to work on the art posse challenge, and I went forward with design 6. The challenge sure did prove fun! Thanks for helping me select them! #art #conceptart #concept #challenge #tap #tank #vehicle #pneumonia #54 #walker #mech #battle #robot #man #artchallenge #illustration #war #future #design #boom #noexcuses #blitz #worldwar #gears #hard #surface

The second part of working from silhouettes! After tallying up votes I did some outline sketches of the vehicles wanted to see. I've never drawn tanks before, so this was a very fun challenge! Now for the next part, where the next selection from you guys will determine which one I go forward with and design further! Looking forward to hearing your choices! #art #conceptart #silhouette #tank #vehicle #design #sketch #lineart #mech #unit #walker #boom #trash #rocket #launcher #machinegun #gun #transport #allterrain #robot #future #WWII #wheels #concept #numbers #drawing #instaart #joechicoart #instaartist

Hey! So I'm joining in a weekly art challenge by @sampetersonart over at theartposse.net . The theme for the two weeks is "multi-purpose all-terrain vehicles" which I've never done before so I figured it would be a good way to brush up on my mechanical concept art. I'll be taking a vote from my social medias to figure out which ones to push to the next phase! Which number do you guys think? #art #conceptart #thumbnails #mech #tanks #military #transportation #terrain #vehicle #illustration #sketch #doodle #concept #design #theartposse #TAP #challenge #study #transport #wheels #youpick #instaart #instaartist #joechicoart

Throwing all of the lines around! Going to have to start pulling back / controlling my hatch-lines more. This guy has high dex / high int and fantastic hair. #art #sketch #doodle #lineart #anime #dungeonsanddragons #LARP #wizard #instaart #instaartist #fantasy #armor #rogue  #dibujo #イラスト #characterdesign #character #concept #conceptart #digitalart

Sketched up a random old-man pirate and wanted to get some render/skin practice in before bed.  #art #illustration #conceptart #concept #oldman #pirate #instaart #instaartist #sketch #doodle #digitalart #dibujo #イラスト #eyepatch #beard #digitaldrawing #speedpaint #portrait #joechicoart #portraitdrawing #characterart

Sorry for the long break in posts! did a few sketches while I was sick. I've never really drawn accessories, books and bags but this was fun to try and create really heavy looking objects that I think would be simple enough for me to try practicing rendering on. #art #sketch #doodle #lineart #conceptart #fantasy #books #bags #leatherbags #straps #dibujo #イラスト #worldofwarcraft #blizzard #tomes #straps #accessory #drawing #artist #instaart #instaartist #illustration

A little bit of pseudo fan-art. I wanted to do a series of helmets with the 3 Pokemon Go Teams. Started with Team valor because I love me the color red! Can't wait to work on Instinct's and Mystic's helmets!  #art #knight #helmet #fantasy #pokemon #teamvalor #pokemongo #pogo #fire #red #graphic #design #logo #moltres #valor #pokestop #firebird #illustration #イラスト #dibujo #bird #firechicken #courage #strength #battle #nintendo #gottacatchemall #justvalorthings

Drew up a fun sketch of a knight and I wanted to work on my rendering abilities. Still has a bit to go, just keep on chuggin' along! #art #inprogress #fantasyart #conceptart #concept #characterdesign #gif #video #timelapse #armor #knight #LARP #painting #doodle #sketch #digitalart #process #dungeonsanddragons

Yenn of Mykel: the Second Pillar - like her comrade Leonardo, yenn duel wields spears but also uses a buckler in combat. What Yenn lacks in strength she makes up in mobility and pure speed. I should be resting after my procedure but I really wanted to get this one done. If you are an artist currently struggling, keep working at it! Don't give up! And keep on studying and staying focused. #art #digitalart #イラスト #dibujo #sketch #color #armor #LARP #DND #fantasy #characterdesign #character #concept #conceptart #originalart #female #illustration #instaartist #instaart #joechicoart #projectnighttime #spear #lion #wolf #toughchick #helmet #knight

Really loose sketch lines of a red battle mage! Looked at Akihiko Yoshida for inspiration. Threw down some colors. Had fun messing around with this one. #art #originalart #conceptart #concept #character #characterdesign #fantasy #mage #akihiko #yoshida #dungeonsanddragons #DND #LARP #sketch #doodle #color #digitalart #dibujo ##イラスト #armor #magic #oldman
