Massive Black — Jason Chan — Quick Sketch

In this download, Jason Chan takes the viewer through the completion of two sketches, the first of which being his winning Thunderdome entry at the Revelations workshop in Seattle. He won’t tell me where the second image came from, but it does look like his own work (pretty much). As usual, Jason delights the viewer with his discussion of both technical and non-technical apsects of art making. He also talks about his approach to working on shorter images, which gets into the nitty gritty of what makes an image really work.

Massive Black — Jason Chan — Painter Sketch

In this video Jason Chan walks the viewer through the creation of a sketch done entirely in Corel Painter. No thumbnails. No plans. He just gets in there and paints, revealing his thought process and revisions along the way. The resulting image turns out beautifully, and throughout the video he discusses all the important art principals necessary to achieve such an outcome. We hope you learn as much from this demo as we did.

Massive Black — James Kei — Digital Figure Painting

I was a bit shocked when James Kei stopped working with traditional materials. It’s not because I have some bias towards traditional, but because the guy was really good at it.

The entertainment industry has been walking away from traditional materials for a decade now, but it’s still not a common thing to see someone do life painting from an actual model. That is, of course, unless you’re in Kei’s class. And now you can be!

In this demonstration, recorded from a one and a half hour life painting session, Kei covers all the basics to his approach. If you want to get started with digital life painting, there is no better place to start. (And that’s not just marketing talk… I looked around.)

p.s. All you traditional folks can probably pick up a thing or two as well.

Massive Black — El Coro — Weapon Design Part 1,2

Justin ‘Coro’ Kaufman has worked on literally hundreds of titles in his career as an Art Director and Concept Artist. This experience has made him someone who clearly understands that at the end of the day the goal
of a concept artist is to provide a very specific visual solution for a client or game. While this demonstration has plenty of information about painting techniques and design philosophy, it always comes back around to making a deliverable asset. If you want to know what it takes to work in the games industry, this is is where it’s at.

Massive Black — El Coro — Cinematic Storyboarding Part 1

All working artists have to deal with the threat of impending deadlines, but the art of storyboarding with its 50+ image projects brings this balance of time/quality to the forefront like no other. In other words, you can be good, but if you’re not quick you’ll either be on the streets, or worse, living at your parents’ house.

Justin Kaufman, Art Director and co-founder of Massive Black, has done storyboards for Coca Cola, Fox, Playtone, as well as countless video game cinematics and gameplay sequences. In this download, you’ll see this veteran of traditional oil painting and high speed production art combine his talents to produce a result that’s short on time and long on quality.

Massive Black — Andrew Jones — Fine Art Series, Volume 1

One of the things that distinguishes Andrew Jones from other artists is that he does a lot of his artwork before a crowd in a live setting. There are no revisions, no second takes. In this video, covering three separate works, Andrew talks about the moment-to-moment state of awareness that helps faciliate this type of approach. He also discusses a few of his favorite tools in Corel Painter X and how he uses them.

This is a must-have for anyone interested in some of the philosophical underpinnings of one of today’s leading visionary artists.

Before watching this video, I was always worried about how to look sexy if a giant tentacled sea monster pulled me down to his underwater lair. That is a concern no longer. Thank you Jason Chan!!
I'm also no longer concerned with how to complete a digital illustration based on an approved thumbnail sketch.

This digital download is replete with valuable insights on a variety of topics including drapery, textured surfaces, depth of field, and unusual lighting scenarios.

Massive Black Richard Doble Creature Design Photoshop Training Part1

Massive Black Richard Doble Creature Design Photoshop Training Part1 | 250 MB

You know what we love at Massive Black? We love artists who chase after perfection and and get completely attached to their ideas no matter how crappy they are. We love them because there's a lot of them, and they keep our jobs safe.

Richard Doble is the opposite of that approach. This tutorial is not about anatomy or color theory or anything too technical.
It's about creating. It's about quickly coming up with dozens of interesting ideas on the way to arriving at something new and unique.
This is Rich's specialty, and we all enjoy seeing the insane visions that come from this agile young mind.

In this Photoshop demonstration, Sam walks the viewer through the design of two cars in side view. He uses real terminology and goes about the design process in a way that is more akin to vehicle design than concept design. Through watching this video, one will learn that by simply changing the proportions of a few key elements one can completely change the feel and function of a vehicle.
