Concept Art.org Environment of the Week. Check out more of my sketchbook at Ninjac's Sketchbook

Flavor Text: The last tree on Earth is contained within a sacred glass house high within the city skyline. Triple layered carbon-filament woven glass protects the tree from the massive amounts of pollution and radiation that have blanketed the planet over the past centuries. Large gun ships patrol the surrounding area day and night. One docking bay allows supplies to enter and samples of micro organisms to leave through a highly sophisticated decontamination chamber. Trained at an early age in biochemistry and dendrology (study of trees), only the Priestesses of Gaia are allowed to enter into the glass house. Once in they are a permanent resident, becoming one with their new home. They care for and cultivate the environment with the assistance of the most advanced filtration technologies, until death. It is one of the highest planetary honors and only a select few are chosen amongst the millions of women who compete for the position.

Digital Portrait

Portrait of Tinka Lovelocks :)

An environment warm up sketch from today. Trying some new methods that I learned from Sparth.

Here are some character concept thumbnails. Taking the most voted 2 to a finish.

Concept master study from Guild Wars. I say study cause it isn't copied 100% verbatim. Spent a little over 20 hours on it. I altered the composition slightly to fit my interests better but overall I think I got pretty close to the original. This is the level I have to hit now with my own concept illustrations and now I think I understand how to get there. Just have to show it. Going to start a personal piece to be the first. Original is on the left.

Concept sketch.

Some composition practice from imagination.

Here is a character concept I did for work.

Here is a portrait I did for a friend as a warm up yesterday :)
