Ben Procter - Concept Illustrater

I thought it would be nice to share with people the online portfolio of a concept artist by the name of Ben Procter. He has made concept work from big titled movies such as Superman Returns, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Matrix Reloaded/Revolutions and of course, Transformers. The site itself has plenty of concept images and 3D work, it also has small animations that show some of his 3D work. The site itself hasn't been updated recently but it's nice to have a goggle at every now and then.

I really like how in the Transformers artwork he shows what he used as reference for tones/shading/colours. He has that for a few of his pieces. It's really interesting to see how they do those types of things. =D

3D Cell Shaded Model/Animation

First of, This is not my work, obviously...This wonderful work was made by 'Sledgehammer', who has posted his work on a art thread on a forum I go to.

Anyway~ To the topic! He's created a 3D character [Optimus Prime from the latest 'Transformers:Animated' series] using the program Max 7 and the meshes are low-poly Ink n' Paint jobs, rendered out with Mental Ray. [I have no idea what these particular programs are, I'm just typing what he's saying] I would really like to make a 3D character in this style. I'm planning on making my Wildwarp character in this style. *nod* [Ian~ Is Maya able to do this sort of shading/style? If so, could you please possibly show me some time =)]

It's so toony~ <3

EDIT- For some retard reason the last image isn't animating -_-; So I'll host it on photobucket. Since the original link requires Forum User Id.

Transformeeez

Another unrelated topic to Tafe~ woo!

This is my Original character, Wildwarp who is based of the new series Transformers:Animated. It has only aired in the US so far but I'm pretty sure it'll slowly get over here...That's why we have torrents! =P

Anyway~ This is my first go at trying to look 'cell shaded' I was very tempted to grab my gradients and smudge tool..so..tempted..but I think she turned out alright. A bit more detailed then the actual TF:A charas but y'know~ It's my first shot! ^^; [probably need to make her wings stand out more] I'm curently working on her alternate mode aka vehicle mode.
