Likeness portraits are always hard for me, because every reference image I use makes the person I'm portraying look different.
Taking that into account... this was supposed to be José Saramago. I've made it by the time of his death, and, since it doesn't look very much like him I intended to develop it a bit more. The thing is, I actualy really like it the way it is... so I decided to leave it like that.

EVE Contest Entry
Hi. Today i'm posting something I made for a contest on deviantArt called:
As you might have noticed by the title, the idea of the contest was to create a starship that could be part of the EVE Online universe. If you're wondering what that is...
"EVE is a Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMORPG) that takes place approximately 20.000 years after our times in a galaxy on the far end of the universe."
To learn more about it, check this LINK.
Now, this was something I have never tried before. Even though I always loved concept art, I can now appreciate it even more, because its way harder then I thought.
The game has five main factions, I believe, and each of them has it's unique characteristics and aesthetics. Looking at my submission, I would say it doesn't fit any of the factions, especialy on the beauty render, with that white (?) color. I was aiming for the Amarr or maybe the Gallente races.Not very noticeable, I know.
This isn't the render as I submitted for the contest. I have been tweaking it just before posting this. Here's the ORIGINAL.
Obviously, I did not win. But overall, this was a very nice experience where I learned a lot. It was an opportunity to try something different, something I want to continue exploring and develop from now on.
HERE are the winners. In my opinion, there were better ships, but after all the trouble with the judges's (not so great) 15 choices, it ended up being chosen 1st Prize winner the one that wasn't on that list (but was the favourite of the community). It's a very good ship that will now be part of the game.
I'll leave you with the orthos and concepts i've made. My final submission didn't have a concept (probably the reason why it sucks lol), I was designing it on the run. Some of the other concepts I started on 3d, but don't have any image and I don't feel like making it now.
