“Elsa.” Character Concept. (c) 2014 Michael J. Barnes. (click to view hi-res image)
I recently completed a new character concept, and am posting her up today. Meet “Elsa.” I began working on Elsa about six-weeks ago, but put her off for other work (mostly because I wasn’t happy with how she was turning out, and I had decided to work on other concepts).
Ceremonial Armor
It had been recently pointed out to me that I need to add a bit more back story to the characters and creatures I am creating. So here goes… Elsa is a fierce warrior from a far off alien planet. Elsa can be seen here wearing her ceremonial armor, which she typically wears when escorting and guarding her warlord. That’s all I got about her back story for now.
Elsa was created in ZBrush, with the final image produced in Photoshop. I hope you like her.

UPDATE: The General is now available as a 20″ x 28″ full color poster. This image, along with selected others, are available for purchase on the Store Page of this website. Come on buy and check them out.
Meet The General. This is my latest self-promotion illustration. I wanted to draw up an evil, vicious, armor-clad science-fiction, space fantasy villain. The General is a humanoid/cyborg creature – actually, this is the full-body illustration of a character I completed earlier this year that I entitled Gaur.
The character was modeled entirely in ZBrush, as well as rendered. Composite was then completed in Photoshop. The background image was modeled using Google Sketch-up. The model was then brought into Bryce for texturing and rendering, then brought into Photoshop for more photomanipulation and texturing.
