Inspired by a client commission to create a 3D shopping centre. Ive wanted for a long time to create a cityscape.
Its taken me about 3 solid days work split over a couple of weeks. Here is the work 90% complete. Just need to add people an alien and a few cars.
 
EDIT: now added an X-Wing, Tardis, Dalek, A-Team Van, Yoshi Egg, Back to the Future Hover board, IT crowd man, DelBoy Van, and some Mario blocks for good measure.

Fantastic news

The Ice Cream Rave Van...January Blues so needed a dose of Neon cheer this week.

Cool work, I agree very Machinarium, which is a great thing

This is nice! Reminds me also a little bit of Machinarium by Amanita Design … 

WOW!
 
There's so much to see in your 'K' design: Koalas, Kraken, Koi Carp but most of all; Komplete Kick Ass Knowledge!
 
Love it. Look forward to seeing the rest of the alphabet!

A different type of piece, still in progress and not sure of what the final result will look like yet!

This is the my first foray into using AD.
I guess I would say I'm a casual user but I absolutely love it!
Initially started with hand drawing but have decided to start to vectorize them.

Hi folks.
 
I can use the pen tool now, after the bezier game!
 
I thought I'd put my copy of AD to proper use, illustrating that is, not just page layout mode.
All this despite 'losing' a borrowed drive for a Tevion tablet. Never mind being unable to find my Epson scanner power supply...any way this is for you the AD community, the AD Team at Serif labs (And the Drawplus team for getting me hooked on DrawPlus in the 1st place).
 
A big thank you goes out to you CartoonMike and that awe inspiring tutorial earlier: for pushing me over the edge and well into the abyss of time, know as creativity mode.
 
It's so good seeing images in my head finally landing on paper/screen. I can now concentrate now :P

Ps A brief intro of the picture.
 
Family Guy did 3 Star Wars films as you know and they are better than the original. So why not do Airwolf in the same vein? The main villain Dr Charles Henry Moffet was the creator and thief of Airwolf. He was a tortured evil genius who had an upper class English accent...sound familiar anybody.
 
I would love this to go viral (Dream on. Ed) and maybe to Seth McFarlane et al :ph34r:
 
The cast would be
Chris Griffin - Stringfellow Hawke Peter Griffin - Dominic Santini Stewie Griffin - Dr Charles Henry Moffet Carter Pewtersmidt - Archangel Joe - The Senator Joes's Wife - Marriella Glen Quagmire - Test pilot, Moffet's team there's more to follow :) ​Why "She's a lady", well in the program Dom , the hopeless romantic dotes on that machine...and the song by Tom Jones makes it funny too.
 
Edit:  see below MEB's post, for finished image.

Very good.

Wow! That'd look great on any bedroom wall or shed for that matter.

super awesome - i'd wear that on a t-shirt

Don't encourage me, Ive done no work as it is today  :P

Here is a fantasy book cover I did with Affinity Photo. Total newb, so be gentle. :) I have three more too that I'll show once they've gone public. 

John - yeah they are part of a series I've done. Happy to share the others

Companion to an earlier piece I did in a similar vein. Just to reacquaint myself with AD after a long hiatus using nothing but Ad*be  :angry:
 

I shared your same opinion years ago, then... Boom!  :lol:  
Even a small Cintiq does the difference in the perception of digital art workflow.
I've been improving simply because training is much more natural.
 
Yes it is not cheap, but it is an investment, so if you're an illustrator and it is your main job, I see no reasons at all to stay "cheap".
 
If you're thinking about to purchase a tablet monitor my suggestion is to leave apart any lag/pressure/latency and other nerdy discussions: go and try one, you'll know immediately if it fits your needs. Curiously I took my decision to purchase a Cintiq just after I tried one in Dublin...  :)
If it makes you much more productive or opens you new possibilities it will pay back its money, just because you will be able to do it.

Cheers Paolo for your insight.
 
I will give that some thought the next time I need to upgrade. The type of illustration I do is dominated by the pen tool and shape creation, if it was a more gesture based hand-drawn workflow I probably would have switched to a more natural setup a while ago.

Im refusing to finish any new artwork until my new Wacom arrives. Ive literally been like a kid before Christmas day all this month.

I wouldn't know... no idea where I got it from... as with most of my font collection
