This #throwbackthursday #OrangeArt is on the menu. #conceptart #illustration #scifi #conceptdesign #artbook

I know, I know, my goal this week was to paint more SIMPLE composition thumbnails. I'm not sure this one counts, the shapes are simple but there are sooo many of them :) Inspired by James Gilleard, Robh Ruppel and Syd Mead #painting #scifi #conceptart #conceptdesign #illustration

Think I'm going to have some fun this week with simplified / stylized environment thumbnails. How much detail and depth can I create with simple shapes? #painting #scifi #animatedfilm #concept #conceptart #conceptdesign #visdev #digitalpainting #illustration

1971 Shark-like Jet Concept

"This image features a conceptual design of an airplane that mimics the appearance of a shark.
The aircraft is depicted with a streamlined body, fins on the tail, and a nose cone that resembles a shark's head."

Here we go... A different #ConceptArt from some years ago. A #superHero squad called" Heroes of the Elements"

I had the idea of turning them into 3D characters and do a "little" animation movie with them.

It's funny how I still see the sequences I had in mind today in my head after all this years.

OK I cheated- there's yet another one

(Actually this is because I found out that the book page count isn't divisible by 4 so I just have to make another spread )

And this is the last one for now :D

Since you guys liked the previous one, here's another one XD

Early trial illustrations in graphite for The Silent > No.3

Part of The Silent project is producing these ‘fine art' illustrations exploring negative/positive space which ties into the narrative. While most of the work will be graphite, I will also be doing some in coloured pencil. These will be one off's that I'll have in my shop

Chillin' and flirtin' in the underground Piccadilly Circus station.

One of keyframes I did for the "Offliners 76" TV show project we put together with Sebastian de Souza.

Years of fighting myself (hash iagt) I can now say, with 100% conviction, that these 3 images define my work.

Sketches (ballpoint)
Sketch/representative 3D
Analogue ‘Fine Art’ (pencil)

All it took was to understand was why I am doing this and what *I* want from it.

Here’s something that I am going to explore a bit more in the next week….

Who’s work do I most relate to? Rob Cunningham of Homeworld fame. Rob’s concept work is fast and loose, which he tightens with great colouring. I relate to his work as my ‘best’ work is similar, loose. Unless it’s my fine art work, for me staying loose captures the immediate spirit of the idea without bogging down. Taken a long time to accept that

Hello to my new followers, thanks so much for hanging around. Wondering what goes on here? I post mostly scifi stuff I am interested in (art, film, books, anime, games... whatever) and studio sketch work (I post finished art only at my new account https://mastodon.art/@gerardthomasart/). I hope you find at least a small part of it somewhat interesting.
