Minos' digital sketchbook

Thanks guys!

@Wilco: I actually think its a bit small

Here's a very WIP one. I kinda lost interest in this one so I'm not sure if it will ever get finished.

the moon is nicely done, it's just a shame that the border "cuts it off" in size comparison.

Bridge leads to another futuristic building in the sky? Background contains other, either super tall or floating, buildings?

EDIT: Oh wow, thats water, not the ground really far out of the way like you are super high up, hmmmmmmmmmmm

FIrst Unearthly Challenge idea. It didnt turn out as good as i hoped but this is just a quick sketch to study proportions and atmosphere. The idea behind this one is a fortress built by evil aliens to control people's mind connected by a monorail. It's pretty basic now but I'll flesh out shapes once I decide which direction to take.

I'll probably do a few more different ideas before deciding which direction to take but critics are welcome.

Something in the perspective is playing with my eyes, but not sure what it is! Looks good for a quick sketch Mino, can't wait to see what final unearthly peice you come up with.

I'm much more confident with my 3d/level art skills than with concept stuff. I'll try to find a concept artist if I don't come up with some cool idea soon.

[wilco]

Well im definately a fan of your concept peices Mino, everytime I see a new post makes it want to bust out the intuos

[Minos]

thanks wilco!

Alright, here's another pitch. I'm having a hard time filling the foreground with interesting stuff, so ideas are welcome!

hmm just noticed the focus building looks like a lighter

Another nice piece, quite open to a story too - my automatic thoughts were of an alien colony, yet with no one outside makes me feel they're hiding inside for some reason... Something big and scary hunting them down? Astroid belting towards their planet and they're spending their last few minutes together...

Maybe a bit random :-) just giving you some foreground ideas :-)
