Description Ok, here is what I want to call my first concept for my post-apocalyptic sci-fi project, although, I have to say it really isn't my first nor it is a proper concept, since I've been doing sketches for some time now and this image it's the result of merging and refining all those into one piece (among other experiments)...

So, it's taken me a while to develop this image, but I believe it has also help me to learn a lot and also generate many ideas that will allow me to continue my projecy in the future...

So, changing the subject, the new year has arrived!!!

...yes, like a week ago.

Ok, not really any news, but anyway, with the new year came the infamous new year resolutions. Now, I usually don't pay much attention to this, I mean, I rather not wait for a year to end in order to take a resolution (any other day also work for me) but this time my latest resolution and the new year happened to meet, so... new year resolution...

Whatever... my point is, I decided to slightly change my way of working, that is, doing more concept and less illustration... so I'll probably start submitting more loose works... at least I hope so... let's see how that goes...

Anyway, as always, I thank everyone who has faved, watched, commented or just spent a few seconds to take a look at my gallery; I really appreciated your support and it makes me really to know that (at least some of you) have enjoyed my work so far... I'll certainly keep trying to improve in any way I can... yeah, that's another new year resolution! ^^



Cheers!!!

This reminds of Blade Runner and Deus-Ex 2, both of awesome, a post apocalypses where the world has sort gone to hell

Ellixus In reply to lonesoldier54 [2014-01-29 09:16:40 +0000 UTC]

I'm glad to hear that! I haven't played Deus-Ex, but I did have Blade Runner in mind when I started working on this piece. Now, the background story for my project it's a little different than Philip K. Dick's world, but in essence it's that: a post apocalyptic world where everything is gone wrong... ^^

Ellixus In reply to Charliesaurus [2014-01-08 20:31:27 +0000 UTC]

Well, like I said in a previous comment, I honestly don't know, but it certainly took me a long time.

I spent most of the time designing parts of it independently (like the ships and the soldiers), and I also spent a great deal of time just experimenting (creating custom brushes, choosing the right language to express what I had in mind and merging all the stuff together)...

Well, I'm also a more of a high-fantasy fan, but that's precisely why I've been try to work my sci-fi lately... I'm mean, as a professional I have to know how to do everything, not only what I like most ^^

In any case, I'm happy to know that I can still do something enjoyable, even though it's not my main strenght ^^
