Title: Almost finished :)
Notes: it's overkill (like a lot of what I have put in this) but I still want o play around a bit with the bubbles, won't be a lot though, so this is more or less it.

Thanks once again for the comments guy's


Cheers

Title: another stomache update
Notes: Thanks for the input guys, just a small update here (the stomach again)

@ [B]shawnalanpeters[/B], there will be more blue coming into this in a layer that I plan to place over the top, just haven't got around to doing it yet and there are a few things like the stomach (his other leg, the fish, one or two toes...... :hmm: ) that I want to resolve before I do so.

Actually the bubbles were added with the intention of using them as a compositional element, but are still just a rough background layer ATM, more work will be going back into that later.

There [I]may[/I] also be one or two other elements coming in to solve a few issues that no one's really mentioned so far but which are bugging the hell out of me, but I'll look into that later.


Cheers guys

Title: a few changes
Notes: OK I've been back over his stomach chest etc. and have made a few changes that I hope have it looking better now.

I've also adjusted the colours this time, for the first time, in Photoshop or rather their tonal value.

Some feed back would be great.

cheers

Title: a step further
Notes: Not quite finished with this but it's pretty close.
And now bit of a background story (sorry I am no copywriter). So a typical theme first but it fits,
Earth a couple of hundred thousand years in the future global warming and see levels that rose dramatically covering the almost all land have forced Mankind to adapt to a life underwater. Some of this adaptation has been of a biological nature, which is why our friend is is such an ugly sod, other adaptations, mechanical.
Apart from physical changes however mankind's society has still remained pretty much the same, we see here for example Mr. "S", 42 years of age, accountant, father of 2, enjoying his lunch break. (hence the collar and tie in case anyone was wondering).
Sorry I just felt I had to get some sort of lighter side in this (or have I really been putting too much sugar in my coffee :D ) . Any thoughts ?

Title: thinking colour
Notes: It's colour and it's a WIP so I guess it counts as a milestone, although I am still not to 100% sure with the pose I don't find so bad anymore now that colour has been added. I have however decided to go with this concept though.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers

Title: new pose
Notes: Don't suppose if anyone knows if these entries can be in Landscape format do they. Doesn't matter I'll try and fit this guy to a into a portrait format, still needs a bit of work until I'm happy with it though. All the same an update. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Cheers.

Title: tail variation
Notes: I've added back legs as I was wanting to get a bit more flesh in, and I was considering this guy being active on land as well as in the water. The tail has turned into a sort fold away fan/fin, althogh I'm stilll working on that.
I think for the next step I'll try and find a more dynamic pose for this guy.

And thanks for the comments so far guys!

Title: practice
Notes: I won't enter this as a colouring wip milestone at the moment as I am still working on the design, gives me something to come back to though should I decide to go with it.
to be honest it's been a while since I have used Painter so I'm using this to get some much needed practice in.

Title: yet another version
Notes: Still playing with this, It's now a mixture of the first two with a few extra changes... I'm not too happy with those solar cells but I'll get on to those later.... also want to change the perspective slightly later this thing is "supposed" to look big.

Title: solar collector
Notes: Really just playing around at the moment but it's a start.

Sort of saw this guy walking around some aliens world deserts taping the resources of double suns. It's carrying a water nutrient mix on its back for a long stay in the desert. The solar panels not only collect energy but provide shade. The tail doubles as a storage battery. That umbrella thingy is too stop it's brain getting fried.
When the battery is full it wanders back to one of the many down load station's dotted around the landscape, sticks it's head in a socket and dumps it's load (um.. so to speak)
