Taking a break from my 1/6 scale space marine. I saw the announcement of @green_wolf_studios cadian officer and I can’t wait, in the meantime I thought I’d share a renegade guardsman I’ve been working on for the last couple of months. The chest is a failed print, but it I was using it as a test for scale and a proof of concept, so so long as half of it printed it still worked. Our free thinking guardsman is based off an old @forgeworldofficial illustration by @karlkopinski from the, j think siege of varaks series. Still plenty of work left, got his backpack along with a lasgun, chainaxe, and some skulls I need to print out to do some more scale and dry fit tests. The chest piece itself started as a chest piece for a space marine scout, @nicholaslimart was kinda enough to donate some time to help build it for me. #16scale #16scalefigure #onesixthscale #onesixthcustom #warhammer40k #chaos #heresy #imperialguard #astramilitarum #40k #gamesworkshop #forgeworld #toy #toydesign #design #3dprinting #warhammer #prototyping #industrialdesign #renegadeguard #renegadeguardsmen #guardsman #lasman (at Burbank, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CE-4LG6D5Ml/?igshid=1vg6wcc70dc3o

A short demo for @we_are_brainstorm_school for the AD-1: Form Language. The task for this week was to design some vehicles based on something organic. Here’s a range of thumbnails inspired by apples, squids, and spiders #charleslin #brainstorm #brainstormschool #viscom #formlanguage #entertainmentdesign #conceptart #vehicledesign #automotive #automotivedesign #cardesign #vehicles https://www.instagram.com/p/CB7WWSlDb9X/?igshid=1q6hqk9rc2osk

Intro to character design @we_are_brainstorm_school - today we took last weeks cute characters and turned them into something a little more “real” that we might see in games like the Witcher - so here’s our Viking inspired sheep woman (wosheep?)

In class demo for Brainstorms FND3 class. We focused on sprinkling a tiny little amount of design on grounded designs. These are Alaskan truck hunting bandits - an idea generated by the class #car #automotive #automotivedesign #viscom #visualcommunication #conceptart #entertainmentdesign #vehicledesign #bandit #banditraider #raiders #brainstormschool #charleslin #demo #classdemo https://www.instagram.com/p/CBXmiOJDSzk/?igshid=bp41rh2v1d9y

A quick demo for a student using their designs for Brainstorms Intro to Character Design class. - the task was to generate a series of thumbnails looking at shapes based on a reinterpretation of superheroes - to push students to think about abstraction, metaphors, and symbolism #brainstormschool #classdemo #demo #thumbnail #conceptart #design #characterdesign #entertainmentdesign #catwoman #superhero #supervillain #charleslin #cd1 https://www.instagram.com/p/CBW06aKj3PE/?igshid=1vmmda2g9413q

I’d completely forgot about these guys! This was done for the Foundation group tutorial video series on fundamentals, obviously because I forgot about them they’re no longer available on their patreon but you can still get access to them via their gum road. This way of seeing and drawing was something I learnt from Feng Zhu in Singapore @fzdschool and it really helped shape how to visualise and plot my drawings. It’s a solid skill to have that’s never going to go out of date like a program or a style. #charleslin #foundationgroup #fundamentals #linedrawing #perspectivedrawing #2pointperspective #lineart #bugs #insect #mosquito #blockyinsects #basics #viscom #visualcommunication https://www.instagram.com/p/CA_iQLFjQwy/?igshid=1mig8af8u2v5z

I remember watching Feng Zhu, now 5 years ago do a demo in class with drawing planes in perspective and thinking to was black magic. It wasn’t, it was just a lot of patience and lot of practice. This guy was done as part of a tutorial series offered by the Foundation group on patreon, go check it out if you want to learn how to draw some sci fi planes in perspective #plane #fighterbomber #planedesign #conceptart #entertainmentdesign #hardsurface #design #foundationgroup #lineart #fengzhu #charleslin #viscom #tutorial https://www.instagram.com/p/CAzmOnGjef6/?igshid=1w1x713pti3dy
