I like the subtle blues you worked in. The final scan would need some color adjustments in photoshop, though, it looks rather dark at the moment.
As for portraiture, Christopher Lloyd actually IS the ideal subject. I find that the subtle asymetry in his face (watch the eyebrow positions!) brings out his likeness very much. With the height of your picture (about 30 cm, I guess?), you could also try bringing out his lower eyelid thickness by applying a highlight on the rim (always works if light is coming from above).
Thanks! Honestly, I never draw cars. I've always been really bad at it. So I used this as an opportunity to force myself to get over that fear and learn.
These are the bomb! Totally new style of art is the way to go to set it apart i think. I hope that TT go in this direction instead of the same old style as every other game

Could you do one up of Doc and Jules/Vern pls?
You think Telltale should use super deformed models for the BTTF game they're going to make that already gained so much fan attention already?
It would destroy the fabrics of our reality and unravel the universe.

No your right, they should use the same old models that every other game has used.
You can never become special by staying the same as every one else. I think these models are cool and unique enough to make a difference and I hope TT put some thought into looking at them.
I hope they stay far FAR FAR away from those models and just stick to trying to get as close to the concept art as possible, which I'm sure they're already well on their way to doing.
Yeah, how can ANYBODY like those models in the first place? They are the ugliest peices of so called "art", and are really a slap in the face to any true Bttf fan like myself and most others here I assume.
Why can't you trust TTG to use the awesome art they already have showed us conceptually? I think most of our fears involved TTG using something as deformed as that model you are so fond of.
Look at it this way, with a balloon head like that, how could he fit in the Delorean lol? Seriously, that thing makes me sick to look at, and is a blatant disgrace to the art direction that TTG is using, which I might add, looks a hell of a lot better than even the animated series and is THE way to go.

Excuse me but I like those models - are you saying Im not a true BTF fan because of this? The fact is that these are totally new and different to every other thing I've seen - perfect for a new game. Sure its a bit of a gamble since everyone hates stuff they haven't seen before until they get used to it, but I think if anyone can pull it off the TT team can.
I believe there have been BTF games in the past and they came and went, nobody remembers them. I hope this one has a difference that makes it memorable and whether its from allowing new characters, going in a new story direction or threw new models, I don't care. I just want a successful and fun game
It's an art critique - by definition, entirely subjective. Different people like different iconic abstractions. While some are justly drawn to the art of Manga, others puke at the sight of those big eyes. Same here: Yes, there seems to be a consensus here about the quality of those Marty pics (and I've written enough about it ), but that's not necessarily an absolute, and obviously Delorean55 can answer this question:
Yeah, how can ANYBODY like those models in the first place?
I don't and I can safely assume that TTG's in-game models will look nothing like that. But, yes, someone DOES like them, and that's really not a fault of character!
No your right, they should use the same old models that every other game has used.
You can never become special by staying the same as every one else. I think these models are cool and unique enough to make a difference and I hope TT put some thought into looking at them.
Uhm... Telltale is a unique company, and my favorite company is Telltale. Where I live noone even likes adventure games, unlike me. It should make it obvious that "staying the same as everyone else" isn't my motto.
But using unappealing character models (that doesn't give the franchise the justice it deserves) just for the heck of "staying the same as everyone else" isn't a good idea. Plus, you're talking as if Telltale made so many games with humans in them. CSI games have boring, detailed 3D models I don't like; Tales of Monkey Island uses VERY cartoony models, Bone and Sam & Max series have its own style of human models which are also pretty cartoony. Aside from CSI games that people rarely reminds of their existence, Telltale makes games that look cartoony and fantastic, which leads to originality. It doesn't mean just because they use models that are just a little more respectful to human body proportions (and taller, too) it doesn't mean they're doing what everyone else does.

They're not making a game from scratch, they're making a game based off movies.
It will have the actors' likeness, because people want that. They want to believe those are the same characters they loved in the movies.
The models you like so much, not only are painfully ugly, but don't even look like the characters.
So "epic meh".
More over, BTTF the game's chara design isn't like anything out there right now.

Im lost for words that in the same post you talk about everyone being different and liking different things, you also call those character models unappealing and not giving justice BTF deserves.
Honestly I dont want to flame, but it just feels like you didn't even read your own post properly before you hit it, as you can't talk about how people like different things and nothing is better or worse then the other, then speak badly about those models I actually like.
You have to remember that someone made those models and obviously likes them to. We don't know for sure what TT are going to use but its human nature to speak against something new and change. With time everybody would get used to them and I believe that a totally unique art style would make the game even more recognize - think about other games which have created a unique art style of their own...

But... we do. They've released concept artwork and featured it prominently in their advertising for the game. They aren't going to go in some direction that is completely the opposite of what they have shown. As a matter of fact, they've even shown (if only for a brief second) a in-game model of Marty.
That, over anything, is what's so puzzling about your stance. It's already been decided what the art/character direction is going to be, so I don't even really understand why this is such a hot topic.

Whoa, whoa!
This thread is for fanart, remember?
You're beginning to treat your own opinion like it's fact. You'll have to keep in mind, it's your opinion. Sure whoever made those modeled liked them but you're using those opinions to back up your own opinion as if you were trying to get others to like it too, which it looks like you are. But you have to understand that if people don't like it, they will stay that way unless you have some sort of weird hypnosis routine.
Besides, it's already been confirmed what these characters will look like, as Spykes stated. If you want a game with that model, take a class in programming and make your own.

I have finally attempted to go for real, non-digital art and got my 15-year old acrylic colors out. So, first try, and with lots of catastrophes. I achieved a totally different look than I was aiming for, but see for yourself!
Wow thank you for the info. I had only known that the prototype had a single vent on the back and a few other changes.
It sure is nice to read up on the different design phases of the Delorean and see how it trurned into the awesome car we all know and love today! :cool:

Wow, this is amazing! You've very much captured Doc's mad character within the facial expressions....maybe after he's had a shot of whiskey.
That came out really great. This is in acrylics also, isn't it? The hair texture is well done, I didn't know how to do this in my picture. Desaturated colors are chosen with care, and the transitions in the skin tones are really good (that points more to oil... ).
I also like the composition. I'm always tempted to draw the head in full, but it doesn't often work out.

Not really worked in oils too much before..maybe only 2 or 3 times, so trying to get the hang on it. Its messy messy stuff but good for moving colours around.

Anyone else think that model looks a lot like these things.....
Every time I see that picture I just get sick.
Anyway, I like this picture, so freaking funny! Can't wait till this comes out. Too bad it is not on PC.

Now let's get this thread back on track!
...
I don't have any related art.
That's what I'm sayin'!
Mandatory two individual, self-made pieces of art to be posted by everyone from the last 15 posts!
Back on topic. I found this picture and thought it looked very cool. Is this a time machine prototype or is it just fan art?
That's Andrew Probert's initial concept designs.
...it's always Doc.
such old
news
Dan Schoening's brilliant picture was posted on June 10 by me in the graphics thread, by Toona on August 02 on page 2 of this thread, and by Alan on the front page just hours ago.
I love it nonetheless!
Ya, while that may be old, it actually is fairly similar look to the official concept art.
Wow thank you for the info. I had only known that the prototype had a single vent on the back and a few other changes.
It sure is nice to read up on the different design phases of the Delorean and see how it trurned into the awesome car we all know and love today! :cool:
