My submission to the MAMA contest.

Judgment of the moon and stars

I'm drawing my own concepts for what I would want from a game. My goal is to find a nice middle ground between eastern and western art and design. I look to put my own spin on designs I like but feel have either been over or under used.

I really dig the monochromatic color palette here. The gritty texture does a lot to enhance the mood the lighting establishes. I think ...

Dustin Cooper
Artist | Digital Art!
United States

I am a graduate from the Art Institute with a Bachelor of science in Game Art and Design.
My goal as a digital artist is to bridge the gap between Eastern and Western art.
I have a deep love of both Japanese and American/European Video Game art
and see a lot of untapped potential with Video Games in general.
A lot of my artwork will be aimed at creating what I think are more unique ideas for games, ideas that could
help expand what Video Games can be.

I also hide cats in a lot of my work. Good luck finding them.~

One Year On DA!

:iconcatcouch:

Today marks one year on Deviant Art for me. Man does time fly!

I have to say it's been a better experience than I expected. I think my art has improved quite a bit and I am thankful for all the feedback/critiques I've received. Plus, I got a Daily Deviation like two months in (thank you :iconnatalia-luz: for suggesting and :iconhyazintha: for featuring my work ). I had my profile page viewed more than 8,000 times. That's awesome!

I just wanted to say thanks for the support and making me feel welcome you guys!~

No problem! I'm about to start studying feet and you have an awesome way of visually blocking them out.

Oh, yeah, I disabled the comments and saved everything here to try again, I think I'm going mad with that :p

Yeah definitely try again! Just really think about what the most basic thing you want to improve on and you should be able to get a plan out of that.

If you want to work on architecture I would suggest making something like perspective your goal and try to build upon that while working with whatever architecture you want to.

A few are working on perspective and environmental art in the group so they should be able to help if you go there too.
