Massive Black: Volume 1

admin — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 01:10:32 +0000

Massive Black has teamed up with Ballistic Publishing to release a compilation of artwork by the Massive Black team. From the press release:

Massive Black: Volume 1 brings together more than 700 pieces of artwork by the Massive Black team from studios in North America and Asia. A foreword by Oddworld’s Lorne Lanning provides an entertaining view of his dealings with Massive Black and his thoughts on what makes it such a unique artist-focused company, while Jason Manley (co-founder of Massive Black) recounts the formation of the company with partners Justin “Coro” Kauffman, and Chris Hatala.

Judging by the contributions to the community by MB, and level of quality we’ve seen from Ballistic, this should make for a good addition to any digital artist’s collection.

Quick Sketching with Jason Chan

admin — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 18:00:42 +0000

This video with Jason Chan is essentially two demos in one. The goal is to be able to create concepts and sketches quickly, whether for practicing skills, meeting deadlines, or presenting a proposal to a potential client.

The first part, Dream Devourer, was recorded in front of a live audience at the 2008 Revelations workshop, with the theme randomly chosen by an audience member. The second sketch is a female sword-wielding character. Each is painted digitally using Photoshop. Jason starts each sketch by laying down monotone values to create a composition with instant impact, always stressing the need to design a viable concept from the get-go. Color, atmosphere, and environment follows.

We’ve seen all of the Jason Chan videos, and the instructional value is top-notch, with helpful commentary throughout. These constitute a vital reference in our own video library.
