I came across these videos while browsing the CG Society site. They're pretty cool. There's no audio however, so prior knowledge of Photoshop is required. *For the intermediate user.

No problem.

I can't wait to get my hands on the God Of War Artbook. I saw some of the sample images on conceptart.org* They really blew me away. I prefer that style over the style shown in these videos to be honest. Been busy getting my 2D work up to standard. So I've left the 3d learning, for now.

I really like this style:

Yea i was severely enjoying doing concept art, and i was using a cheap genius tablet. Hopefully by end month ill have a wacom and i can start trying more interesting details :P
I was looking at the assassins creed art book recently, its also got some really cool images and concept sketches.

I love the glowy fur look in the above around his head and neck, its awesome.

Heh, I kinda broke my Genius tablet a few days ago. Don't ask. :P I'll definitely be looking at a Wacom next time around. I'll be sure to check out the Assassins Creed Art book. Ballistic Publishers has a really awesome Gears Of War Art book*

They explain the entire modeling process. A lot of Max and Zbrush/Mudbox work in there. So you should feel right at home. :P
