This week’s EOW (Environment of the week) over at conceptart.org is the Garden of the Fairy Queen:
“From the real to the unreal. The Faerie create a garden as a tribute to the Faerie Queen, the woodland halls are decked and warded. She walks tonight. Is all prepared?”
I’m pretty sure I’m not going to finish in time, but it’s nice to finally have some kind of inspiration- I work best with art direction. Anyway, here’s a screen shot of my version. I really like the idea of bioluminescence, plus if *I* was the fairy queen, I would want to be tiny and have my city take advantage of the awesomeness of shelf fungi.
Been sick, haven’t had time to update. But here’s Mortimer, in all his textured and colored glory.
(as per usual, click the thumb for the nice big image)
and a roundish sea goddess in progress (I have been accused of drawing only tall angular people, which is probably because myself and much of my family are tall and angular for the most part- but it’s a bad habit, so expect more rounder types…)
some concept art for my character (we’re going to do them in 3d soon), Mortimer. He’s a bird dog (so gryphon but back half owl, front half dog, with bits mixed up together). He started out being more traditional border collie-ish, but I think now i’m going to go with making him a little smaller (almost lap dog size) and i really like having his back half be owl, so I may stick with that. I think as a character too, he’s going to have a small owl/dog personality- thinks he’s bigger than he is.
