concept art for an unannounced game. turns out we’re not going with this specific artstyle anymore so I got an OK to post these. you guys might have seen the first one before because i had posted it in the last creative work thread.
Obviously you're not using the design anymore, but one good way to add variety to any kind of tacticool soldiers is varying up their gear more thoroughly to distinguish classes/types is designing their gear with a bit more intention. For example, if you want to signify lighter, faster troops, use [url="http://s760.photobucket.com/user/officer960/media/IMG_0720.jpg.html?t=1342538741"]ITW Fast Mags[/url] or [url="http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/kk99/USMC03_photos/Monthly%20Rifle%20Matches/IMG_2101_1.jpg"]BFG Ten Speed[/url] pouches, which are literally just elastic pockets. Another thing to consider is what type of vest they're wearing. Heavy troops might have a [url="http://redarmyairsoft.ru/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/167047438.jpg"] ciras[/url], while light troops could have a [url="http://gearscout.militarytimes.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2010/08/Crye_Precision-JPC_1A1.jpg] JPC[/url], or even [url="http://harristacticalonline.com/images/SS_RangerGreen_01.jpg]just a chest rig [/url] with no armor.
Obviously your sketches were just concepts, but if you had moved to refine them further, don't forget that doing more than just copy pasting the same gear is important to create a more self evident class/type to distinguish different characters/enemies.
Oh but anyways they look pretty cool, shame you're heading elsewhere with it.

You post some beautiful artwork
I really love how pleasant these paintings are to look at
nice one mate
with that style you could move to traditional mixed media (which is hard to pull off but if you replicate the delicacy of above you should be okay) and you could start talking to local galleries about exhibiting and selling work. I would recommend it cuz that kind of piece is pretty quick to knock out if you can make good decisions automatically and I think you're there

Menter; Great stuff! Do you use any kind of photobashing to produce the results? The lighting is so convincing, and maybe we could learn something from your progress.
Anyone remember the thread a year+- back, with a guy doing free pictures of people that posted pictures of themselves? If anyone could find the thread or just the guy's profile, that would be nice, i just loved his work.
Here's an example of a few of them:

oh i have to mention they're not different classes anyway, they're just different "cultures" or w/e (romans, japanese, egyptians, etc). but this is still very useful advice for what we're going for right now, thanks a lot.

What do you guys do when you've lost your inspiration?
I've tried to come back to drawing now for weeks and I just end up with an empty paper or some random scribbles.
Sucks because I really love drawing.

I asked the same thing a while back, and someone told me to not do it because you love it -- do it because you owe it to yourself to keep getting better. Then, as you get better, you'll enjoy it more.
But I actually ended up taking a break for a few months until I realized life is boring when you're not creating something, so I slowly eased back into it.

I'm willing to bet you're a fan of TakeSomeCrime on youtube.
Made an attempt at digitally coloring the portrait I posted earlier. I haven't done anything like this in a long time, so constructive crit would be really appreciated.
