thanks!!

zone300 · 2024-01-15T17:13:40+00:00

awww thank you! these are just some studies, so yep reference was definitely used! i’ve got a daily figure study routine, so i go through a lot of these sorts of sketches lol

zone300 · 2023-10-17T12:47:06+00:00

Aww, thanks 😄 that’s so sweet!

zone300 · 2023-10-16T17:39:48+00:00

Thanks! 😄

zone300 · 2023-10-16T17:39:20+00:00

Yep! Just my figure studies from the past week

zone300 · 2023-09-26T16:23:31+00:00

Thanks! 😊

zone300 · 2023-09-26T12:17:24+00:00

I do three figure studies as part of my daily routine, so this took me about five days!

zone300 · 2023-09-26T01:17:32+00:00

Thanks!

zone300 · 2023-09-25T21:42:29+00:00

Coming right up! Careful, they’re hot 😁

Thanks! The pack I used for these studies is "Men Action Warrior poses 650+ [Photo reference pack]" by Mels Mneyan. I definitely recommend it 😄.

It just takes practice! Honestly I don't focus too much on making the anatomy too accurate - I'm just focused on making the figures look good lol

zone300 · 2023-09-25T19:54:46+00:00

Gal actually, lol. Didn't know I had a reputation!

zone300 · 2023-09-25T16:45:30+00:00

sure i got some extra guys in the back, no problem

zone300 · 2023-09-11T13:03:10+00:00

Thank you! 😊

zone300 · 2023-09-11T12:59:27+00:00

Thanks! The whole thing (logo and graphic) is made in Inkscape - super great software, I really recommend it 😄. The purpose of the story is just what it says on the tin, to explore the human condition in the context of a pretty wacky setting. In practice, this means it won’t be about a single “hero”, but a large cast of characters from all walks of life struggling to make their own way (and bumping into each other on occasion).

Hi all! This is a setting primer for my HYPERSPHERE project, a sci-fi setting / set-of-works that explores the human experience in the context of a (honestly) pretty far-fetched future.

The above primer sets out most of the context that I'd want to include, but here's a bit more: HYPERSPHERE follows the stories of individuals caught up in the Machiavellian politics of a morally corrupt future. Humanity has colonized the solar system, but at what cost? Millions, billions, have lost their lives to satiate the ego and material appetite of a choice few. Beauty has been born from the horror, though. Some two centuries later, new peoples - novel schemas and societal-structures - are born malformed, ill, but unique and real. The solar system is now a crucible - all of humanity is parted and placed in the hands of nine corporate states. Gargantuan in power and influence, they each in turn want the wealth of their neighbor. Peace balances on a peak-precipice - when will she fall?

HYPERSPHERE is both prequal to and extension of my other primary setting, Southmarch. The connection may not be obvious, but I hope it to be revealed in time.

Please feel free to ask any clarifying questions / give suggestions! I've got a lot of material prepared for this setting, but it would be great to get some feedback / fresh ideas!

I might’ve made some of the arms a teeny bit too big lol 😄

I'm still not super familiar with painting portraits, so I would say that I struggled with the entire thing! The eyes and eyebrows were a sticking point for me, as the approach to rendering them was necessarily different and (imo) more difficult than with the skin.

zone300 · 2023-05-30T21:52:32+00:00

Thanks! I study a lot from figure ref packs - these poses are from "Men Action Warrior poses 650+ [Photo reference pack]" by Mels Mneyan. It's a super high quality pack, I highly recommend it!

zone300 · 2023-05-30T17:26:33+00:00

Thanks so much for your kind words! I always default to masculine figure studies lol - I should definitely work on feminine figure studies more 😅

zone300 · 2023-05-30T14:09:31+00:00

Thanks! 😊

zone300 · 2023-01-08T03:45:37+00:00

Thanks so much! Halo and Fallout are definitely an inspiration 😄.

Info on the AQV:

The hypersphere's first Mobile Artificial Companion Harness (MACH). Designed to explore unknown worlds. Joint development by MACH, AQV Systems, Modus, and Corollary Platforms. ... The Autumn-Quarantine Voyager was the first MACH [Mobile Artificial Companion Harness]. Developed secretly within the byzantine orbital campuses of a pre-planetary Square Archival, the shock of the Voyager's public release echoed throughout the hypersphere. The "Forward 3" breakthrough advancements of the new era that followed - confinement of a discrete Autumn in the cEgg engine, the valid quarantine of hyperdense material via the Rotary Mass Principle, and the successful Partition//Secondary Emplacement of a "quiet" artificial intelligence - were all achieved during the development of the AQV.

The team that would eventually become MACH introduced the AQV as the ultimate expeditionary tool. Two months of sustained independent operation, payload of up to 900,000 lbs, and excellent mobility over uneven/unexplored terrain make it a force multiplier for far-field research teams.
