concept central

Yeah, yeah. Nobody really bothers with this blog. But hey, I'll keep posting until Robotech actually becomes RELEVANT in today's fast-paced, attention-deficit facebook/ myspace/ blogger-based society. Anyway, I stumbled upon this really great interview by a certain blogger by the name of Donata Giancola. The article discusses something that has interested me for quite a while - and its these novel/series things. You know, like the Dune...

There's something about Dave Seeley's science fiction art... It's like looking at a modern update of a classic serial poster or something. It either has something to do with the use of a lot of great photo-referencing in Photoshop, or I'm just weird. In any case, I will admit I've been a great admirer of this artist's work for quite some time now, because it looks so darn purty. Plus, he does science fiction art for Tor and other...

Title: The blues singer leaves townName: Luis MeloCountry: PortugalSoftware: PhotoshopIf there is one thing I can't stand, its seeing art that evokes such depth and emotion, it makes me sick-- no wait, it makes me glad. And here is one artist that does it quite well. I'll make this a new regular thing in my blog, just a post where I can admire all the little nuances of a particular unknown artist's work. Not much is known from this Melo...

Why are you so cruel, Void? Why can't you offer any words of encouragement, or feedback or anything? Well, I'll be waiting, dear Void. Sooner or later, your heart will soften, and you will see that yes, I will... no, I must give good constructive feedback! For I am here, sticking it out, reading this fool's words. I am here to see this idiot make a spectacle of himself, as he has done so in the past!But for now, let us all gaze at the beauty...

If there's one artist that I've been admiring for quite a while, its this guy. He's good. He's really good. I may have talked about him before, but I don't care. He's such an inspiration for my work, because he does that whole space marine thing so well. In fact, you may not know it, but this guy is the concept artist for Bungie - a.k.a. The Guys Who Made Halo. Yep. He's the one. But while Halo is his crowning achievement, he's also worked...

This is a companion post to my previous one on the 'Drawbacks in Drawing Anime'Please bear in mind that I did not write this. It is a post by some frustrated anime fan, whose name I stupidly forgot to remember. While these articles are hardly related to conceptual art, I don't really care. Bleah!! It's not like this blog is popular enough to garner outrage!So why does he say their is still a pervading 'ignorance' among the population regarding...

Similar to an old thread someone started before, I bring up this 'eye candy' thread. It's based on the theme "Grand Space Opera". By observing these images, it gives you a little idea on what makes a space opera a space opera. What are the elements of making one? Perhaps I shall leave it to you, Void.Does more spaceships mean more epic? Or is it how they are composited to a scene that makes it memorable?The classic ideas have always been...
