Here's the farm with more linework. It's looking quite "busy" but once I start painting things in I think it should all clear up. I think. :D

Here's the farm with more finished linework.

I'm adding more linework detain in now. I wanna be clear on all the forms before I go and greyscale them in.

This is like a quick rough paint up but it should indicate the lighting and shadow of the painting.

I touched up the image a little more. I added some mountains and apple trees to guide the viewer's eye a little more. Take a look, and crit away!

Here's the farm in a bit more detail now. I've laid out some more specifics with the farm, ani-pull (a mechanical bull that pulls out crops as it walks), and the ground temperature device on the right. It's still a bit messy but laying things out now. I think I need to either make the mechanical bull on the left smaller or the machine on the right bigger.

I made another rework of the greyscale painting. This is more of like a rough drawing with a few small forms painted in. This is going to get into more detail and specifics but for now, I'm laying out where everything is, and exactly what it is. I'll probably go over the animal (I'm calling it ani-pull because its a robotic cow that pulls out vegetables) and the ground measuring device on the right and the gnomish farm in more pencil just to clarify things a bit more. I'll also get into the trees a little more but here's how things are shaping up right now.

Started on a grey scale of the gnomish farm. A few points, I removed the bridge cuz it wasn't really making sense and the perspective isn't matching up with the thumbnail so I need to shift the horizon. I'm going to redo it. Here's the progress for now

I took the two images that I liked and made a slightly more refined thumbnail.

I tried to fix up the thumbnails and add more dynamic lighting.

Gnomish Farm

I decided to work on some concept art for World of Warcraft. I thought it might be fun to start out with a Gnomish farm. Something simple I guess. Or fun for me. I'm starting with a few basic composition thumbnails and I'm going to gradually add more details etc. I've been trying to work on my process, so I followed the thumbnail "loop" process that Rob Brown laid out in a youtube video.
