Hi there. Here's some random stuff that I've been working on in the past couple of months. I figured I'd start a sketchbook here in order to keep me doing more 2D. C&C welcome!

These first few started out as brush tests in Photoshop..









Some creature doodles.. mostly older stuff

Environments


[1600x800]


[1600x900]


[1600x900]

This one is a CD cover for a couple of friends' band (original aspect is 3:1, cropped so it doesn't mess up the layout).



And a heli.



Hope you enjoy. I'll be trying to update this thread on a regular basis.

sweeet
lovin' the album cover

Awesome stuff peppi, those environments are beautiful, love the colours you use. Would you mind posting bigger versions of some of these?

fantastic work peppi, nice to see a sketchbook from you your vehicles remind me of the alien aircraft in half life 2, almost organic

Your stuff is awesome peppi! Love the colors and the style! ^^

That heli is so freaking cool. Your style is super appealing and fresh. Im very happy you ve decided to put a Sketchbook.

So many sweet environments! and your styles pretty tight too, its like a textured/illustrative hybrid that looks sweet! - im not a fan of the huge amount of brush whoring that goes on but you can wield them tightly!

How long are you spending on these environments? Need to start gearin my shit up so im of use to someone heh!

All great work, and I really like this one. Sup new desktop. Thanks for posting!

hawtness

amazing work

more please

Thank you guys

Jaco - sure, I'll post them later today.

Jackwhat - I see what you mean about the brush whoring.. that's the point of all these first few images though, I've been trying to loosen up my paintings a bit and get faster as well. I'm still exploring a lot. Those environments in the 2nd post have taken between 1 and 2 days roughly, maybe a little more.. I tend to forget checking the time while doing these. The one below was around 15 hours, that heli was 5-6 hours I'd say.

Here's another one I just finished, along with a progress image thingie


[1600x900]

I've added links to 1600px versions to some of the enviros

Incredible. Wallpapered.

Heh, that brush whoring remark wasn't aimed at you - more so the craigmullins/vyle wannabes that float around covering up their lack of ability with chain and rockbrushes!

But damn dude, thats sweet! i dont think ever spent more than 6hours on a picture D: I end up doodling for 2hours and calling it quits.

Cheers for uploadin the steps and larger pictures, insightful <3

the word "stunning" comes to mind...

seriously, I love this sort of sci-fi, and just looking at some of these (like the squid ships) gives me goosebumps.

Some recent doodles.

AWESOME !!!!

Peppi, you're my favourite dude. Keep posting those paintings!

YES! peppppppppppppi!
