Part 2 of the Massive Black / Nox video is now available!

Nox introduces the second video with more bloopers (and don’t we all love these). Again, he’s naturally hilarious throughout. In this round we see more of the details, composition, lighting, and background coming together. And yes, more stomach/torso edits. Again we are supplied with a Photoshop PSD as part of the download, this time the final full-size copy. This source file comes in handy and helps us to follow along by inspecting the layers up-close. Once again Massive Black comes through with a great set of downloads for the cost of a few cups of coffee. Several more videos are currently in the works from other Massive artists, so expect to see more in the near future. Proceeds go towards supporting the free ConceptArt.org community.

Check out the Massive Black DVD site to purchase. And if you haven’t already, make sure you watch Part 1 first.

Massive Black has just released Part 1 of a downloadable video tutorial, by French concept artist Bruno “Nox” Gore.

In this video, Nox takes us through his process of starting a quick concept in Photoshop. He uses no plan or reference material, but in the end still manages to knock out a great-looking image. The commentary is amusing and casual. Be sure to wait for the surprise ending, which is a nice humorous touch.

The download is a bargain at $10 and includes a .zip of the video (in a high-quality Quicktime format), the PSD file, and the Photoshop color wheel that Nox uses in his workflow. Overall a great value. Part 2 is due to be released later this week, and will include the final completed PSD.
