Another quick concept. I tried getting a Nu-Medieval look twisting in armor and a robotic look. It ended up looking like Dr. Robotnik with his shelf mustache 8).

Andrew Probert’s artistic career spans over thirty years, ten of which were spent working on some of science-fiction fans’ favorite Hollywood productions.

Everyone remembers the designs, but who was the mysterious person behind the concept art for Back to the Future and what happened to him?

Andrew is currently involved in producing paintings and an occasional book cover.�

WTF? Why didn’t this guy become more prolific? The world may never know. I still love the design of the old time machine and the comic though. What do you think?

Some concept art I worked on for an upcoming short. I won’t give anything away, but it’s nice to have some actual concept art for an actual production to show off. Painting this piece was really enjoyable. I didn’t want to put it down! More screen shots of the actual finished 3D model I built to come. Right now it’s well on its way!

I believe I stumbled upon this artist at one point or another, but I like the versatility of his style. In much of what I saw, which probably isn’t much, there is definitely a graphic novel style that unifies his work. Instead of being dark and morbid as in Frank Miller, there is a delightfully edgy yet effervescent quality to the perspectives and color choices. To me, they radiate energy. Check him out!

Concept Speed Painting

This concept speed painting is in many ways inspired by my recent delving into the Philip Pullman’s Dark Materials series of books, the same series that includes The Golden Compass. His stories are very rich and insightful to human character on an epic level. I’m thoroughly engrossed and want to read the books over and over again just because of the sheer imagination it took to create not just one world but multiple worlds of fantasy and have it all relate in some way to the the human condition as we know it in this world. It’s inspiring and challenges my creativity and imagination to the core even though they are considered to be children’s books.

Take a closer look at this image to see things that are very subdued in the smaller image, and even in the larger image. I think if I were to improve upon this concept it would be to explore how to push the limits of subtlety and make this image engaging still.

I’m trying for more different approaches to painting concepts. I used custom brushes to make the large forms and shapes concentrating on composition and speed. I was actually just testing the brushes and happy coincidences became instigators to this sketch. It’s actually quite a departure from my usual techniques. It’s pretty hard to work in only muted subtle tones. Hopefully the frigidness of this piece is aptly conveyed.
