the ugly begining

ahh! the ugly beginning. we all try to hide it but its there always. this is from spaceship1 which is also in my concept folder too. this kind of image starts out with this sketch of forms. i like to paint without lines as well but i dont always. i think thats because sometimes i want to hit a mark and to me "line is design" its fast to alter, you dont get as vested as shape and lighting. change comes easier. when designing the last point is all important. thats my opinion anyway. i think these days you would also have to include 3d blockin models for design as well. if you dont spend alot of time on them that is. but thats the slippery slope with 3d, you nerd yourself into a long build time..

good luck with your process and designs
