Description Here's the part of the story where Dr. Opus Optus first analyzes the stars in order to find information on the case of the murdered soldier. This is meant not only to be a character design, but how his dwelling reflects his character.

Part of my projects for my class The Portfolio. one of the five classes taking complete and utter control of my life.

Pardon the lines. The scanner is not the best they have.

EDIT: Hmm... it appears that the glass on the scanner is dirty too. ullingouthair:

I don't know if you've seen it, but this piece kind of reminds me of the show Invader Zim, like it's from a shot of sweeping, insane, almost creepy architecture. The design on this is really great. I think the lab looks almost organic and the violently reeeed color is a very nice touch. The little details and lines on his equipment are a very nice touch. Awesome job. 0.0

Hell, that's really cool. I really love the retro 50's feel to it... and the red. Red is good. There is much red.

Being something of a sci-fi geek, I *really* love stuff like this. The paint style, colors and whatnot? *Fantastic* My favorite part is the environment though. You definately succeeded in making it futuristic while keeping it believable.

You can never be sure with public (?) scanners. I always have to look closely on every scanner at my college to make sure it's clean. I bet you could clean that up in photoshop easily with the clone tool, but even so, it's still frustrating. I mean, you spent all the time on the art and now that it's done you've got big lines right through it. What a pain.

I cant help but notice the influence of the artwok style of teh disney concept artists, especially the work done for the movie Treasure Planet... this is amazing work and such an astonishing painterly work too, and funny character design. I love it. Ever seen teh book of disney designwork for Treasure Planet? This'd be right up your street! -crash

Damn, that is so complex, so intense and so well rendered and composed. I'm in awe. Is that gouache?

Nope it's acrylic. But if it were gouache, it would be even MORE impressive!

Wow, I love the layout and lighting and all. This would look so great in an animated film! I can see what you mean about the set reflecting his character, it's practically alive itself.

the image looks great... especially the coloring job... although its somewhat difficult to see the details of the character.

bentoons In reply to otter1 [2005-03-22 00:27:44 +0000 UTC]

it is definately a great piece, like you said,,, i think his sketchyness and vagueness of the character are by design..... not going for complete realism here,,, plus he's adding a touch of mystery to it all since u can't QUITE make out all the details

My goodness. The concept is extrordinary, like you get out of those concept arts for 3D generated movies o.o. With all the red it looks like something from The Incredibles, but with a different twist to it. Astounding!
