Fallout 4 Concept Art - Part 1
(screen-caps from the stream, will post higher quality when available)
Featured are a selection of artwork, not all of the wonderful concepts shown, so feel free to re-watch the bethesda E3 showcase, for literally any of the multitude of reasons you should do so.
I made a walkthrough of my process for drawing faceted stones! Judging by the timestamps from the screenshots I took, drawing this one stone took an hour and three minutes, although I know I went and checked tumblr a couple times while I was working, so let’s just call it an hour.
Now MISCELLANEOUS NOTES
This walkthrough assumes you already know how to use layer masks, the clone stamp, and the lasso tool. There’s also one part where I didn’t label it, but I inverted the selection so I could keep my lines consistent. It’s in the third image.
Unfortunately I can’t really help with colour choice and the actual colouring of the pinwheel shape that makes up the back facets, but you can kind of see that I tended to colour with lines that cut across the facets and and kept the outer parts of the facets darker. It would probably be best to find a reference to work from!
This particular cut of stone is called the ‘brilliant’ cut.
There’s actually a lot of internal reflection business that goes on in a stone, but I elected to ingore all of it since at a distance you can’t really tell anyway.
now GO FORTH AND DAZZLE YOUR FRIENDS WITH YOUR SPARKLE
Today, while Peter was off collecting the babies who had fallen out of their strollers, Tinker Bell paid me a visit and demanded I make her some new clothes. I hope she appreciates these cause now my room is full of tiny bugs.
