Brogan Ross’ Blog of Random Interests

This is from the 4th book. It’s the Citgo oil field that Susan and Roland check out.

Actually started working on this as a matte painting. There is a WIP thread over at mattepainting.org. It’s got some way to go. If there’s anyone actually reading this and you happen to be a member at mattepainting.org, please give me some feedback. If you aren’t a member but are interested in matte painting I highly suggest the site. It’s a great community and a wonderful resource.

very green.

Just a random sketch I worked on today.

so the next couple posts will be updates of the work I’ve done on a painting I created a while back.

So I’ll start now:

This is the original sketch:

Then there’s the design images I uploaded before:

This came from the third book of Stephen King’s Dark Tower series. There’s a giant diseased cyborg bear that Susannah shoots in the ass then takes off the radar dish on the top of his head. I thought it was a pretty cool image so I sketched it out while waiting for further texturing instructions. First time I’ve draw people in a long time, and first ever for a bear.

so this is based on someones concept sketch I saw last night. I started out just mimicking what they had done.

yeah I didn’t have any texturing to do so I sketched. Here’s something I came up with:

Design for a futuristic marine drop ship. Got an idea for a painting that may pop up later on.

So I am very interested in this arctic base idea, and I’m trying to flesh it out and see if I can come up with a decent composition and design. I’m also considering it for a projected painting but I’m not sure on what would look good.

This sketch took me about an hour and was inspired by a painting I saw somewhere. Can’t remember where. But I liked the idea of the base popping up from under the snow.
