140 • IMAGINEFX ARTICLE ‘THE A-Z OF SCI-FI ART’ PART ONE

An Art-Ickle from Issue 65 of the ImagineFX Magazine, entitled ‘The A-Z of Sci-Fi Art‘, was the topic for this weeks episode.

This is a beast of an Art-ickle, so I’ve split it into two parts, with this episode covering A to M, and next week finishing it off with N to Z.

Really enjoyed this one though, and I even wore me lil Mass Effect N7 Dress to get in the Sci-Fi mood :)

Some of the topics include:

• How to Create a Sense of Scale,
• Mixing Reality and Imagination,
• The Importance of lil Details,
• Different Art Styles,
• Reusing Assets,
• How Everything Has a Story,
• Combining Traditional and Digital Painting,
• Always Thinking about the Viewer,
• Having a Greater Appreciation of Designing Vehicles,
• How Nothing is Ever Wasted,
• Keeping it Simple,
• How the Foreground and Background are both Important,
• and we give the Mole a name :)

Hope you like this one :)
