My sci-fi and fantasy concept arts

[Freelancer]

I'd like to share few of my sci-fi and fantasy concept arts what I made for my novels, Nightfall and Crystal Shade. I hope you're going to like them.

Nightfall

And the fantasy arts...

Crystal Shade: Angeni

[Cayal]

That's amazing.

May I ask how you did them?

I'm glad you like them. I used to create the base objects in 3D, in most cases without textures. Then I make the rest in photoshop (i.e.: the character faces, their hair, the ship's shiny surface, the backgrounds, etc, etc...). Sometimes I add some light effects too.

This is how the ship looks like in the reality without textures. I used this model the most...


And with some CGI glossy surface. I made this render after the previous arts as a high poly test render. But this one also has some post work.


And this is how the raw face of the winged lady basically looks like.

They're great The second one is the best of them, I think.

Like them? They're spectacular. The angel looks a little like Grace Kelly.

The art where the ship is heading toward that space anomaly, the Ageira Rift as I call it in the story is also one of my favorites. My other favorite is the winged lady's portrait.

I'm glad you like them. And my angel's name is also Grace. Grace Sessa Aredia, or as I like to call her nowadays, "Space Grace". This nick is coming from the strange history of that art as that art was aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour STS134 and will be launched to space once more abord the Atlantis STS135.

She also has a NASA Commemorative Flight Certificate about the previous flight.

Well. In the novel my lil' angel always wanted to touch and reach the stars. I just fulfilled her dream.

I am in awe, and jealous, of people with skills like yours. Amazing stuff.

I'm glad you like them, Starbeast.

Wow, they are really nice. What program do you use for the 3d? Zbrush? they are really very good!

[Freelancer]

I use 3D Max for the models, and Photoshop and sometimes After Effects for the post work.

Here is one more, one of my favorite designs and one of my greatest inventions for this world. She is one of the flying crafts in my upcoming fantasy novel (Yep, this beauty belongs to a fantasy world.). On one day maybe I'm going to upload the animation about it too. She looks beautiful in motion and flies just like a real eagle.

Awesome ship design. I like your use of the color blue too.

And a little fun for today. On today, this art about the main character of my fantasy novel Crystal Shade has reached the stars for the second time, this time aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis (Minus text and logos).
