Where art, design, music and performing arts collide into one amalgamated crushing noise and filtered through my brain, down to my fingers and on to a website. My name is Bryan Hancox and welcome to my world.

Nice type, nicer way to live.

Reblogged purely to make Amanda smile.
Wow, the combined subject matter of celebrity with superhero alter ego works quite well, even though I dislike Morissey and Superman a lot.

Ofra Lapid - Broken Houses (2010)
A series of small-scale models based on photographs of ruined homes the artist found on the web by an amateur (unnamed) photographer.
Coincidentally, I’ve been looking at wrecked/dilapidated buildings to reference for my protagonist HQ, as part of my environments/concept art for my fmp. I thought I’d reblog these because they’re amazingly detailed and crafted, I can only imagine what the photographs look like from this, but it gives me a good start.

Notes on drapery
Similar to the last post, more observation on texture and it’s lighting, it is always useful to learn how clothing and different materials work when doing concept art or drawing in general. Often people think that you have to get your work to realistic proportions, which is impossible when you haven’t got the luxury of time, however if you learn the mechanics and understanding of subjects you wish to paint/draw etc, it doesn’t matter if it is basic or not, the image will speak for itself.
I’ve done this before for my BTEC in Fine Art at Dudley College, but a lot of my work got externally verified, which meant 70% of my work never coming back to me.
Recently thought about how the crinkles made in tin foil could help me illustrate rock formations etc, due to having a similar form and texture in areas. Obviously I’d have to mute the tints and reflective light, but could be good for a study.
Excuse the mess and mass of books to the side, heavy reading.

Bry here again, another quick update!
This is the crash site of a Daedalus (that’s right, there was more than one ship), in Iran. This isn’t finished, but just thought i’d post it up, look out for upcoming images of the protagonist HQ, as well as finished renders of this piece, the previous mountain side market and the character sheets for Hugh Winter (the main protagonist) and the Icarus.
In the meantime, we’ve all been updating our blogs with research and other tidbits. So check out what Rob, Jaydev and myself have been doing.
Kinda said I wouldn’t really be showcasing my concept art on here, but it’s a reblog so I guess that’s kinda allowed? Either way, go take a look at the Icarus Falls blog.
A tutorial I came across on conceptart.org a while ago, this tutorial by LinRan helps you understand how colour works in relatively long infographic. I thought I’d share this as I’ve only just remembered that I had it.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR ART LOOK NICE: Contrast by trotroy
Many thanks to phenomenal-field for telling us about this tutorial!
A quick inforgraphic on Weak and Strong, uses of contrast.
This isn’t really a tutorial, more like an awareness indication, that if your piece looks flat or too aggressive, look at it and try to work it out. Ultimately it comes down to practise, like everything else for concept art really.

Digital Painting Tutorial - World of Warcraft by Andantonius
A fairly in depth tutorial on the many steps made to create concept art.
The process is fairly straight forward consisting of a thumbnail with value studies, to the point where the linework is redrawn fit correctly then painted in colour. I’m unsure whether to keep some of mine black and white opposed to colour due to time constraints (that and i like the locations in black and white).
Before and After
A rock formation/spire for one of my recent locations/environments for Icarus Falls that has the values blended, using the techniques shown in the previous post.
