Sci-Fi Doodles




©Armand Serrano
I've been painting in PS a lot at work lately. So while in that mode, I tried to continue painting at home (whenever I find time which was normally either 12 midnight or 5 am!)) and do some more practice pieces. Sci Fi was the chosen theme and here're my doodles from last week. By the way, for the next six weeks, I'll be busy working on a new feature film here at Sony in collaboration with Aardman Animations. Definitely looking forward to this venture and I'll try to continue posting as much as I could during those weeks.

Wonderful paintings! My favourite is the second one and that ship design is really cool, too.
Also, good luck on the new project - It sounds pretty promising!

These sketches look gorgeous Armand! The small spaceships in the background, third image, made me smile, they're so cute ;)

I have just one thing to say, Armand - EEEEEEEEEEEE! These are so wonderfully full of quirky character. Don't get -too- busy, and remember to breathe the next six weeks ya!

Craig Mackay said...

It's been a while since I've dropped by. I came for inspiration and was not disappointed. You've been really busy! Great stuff all around. I loved every detail of Surf's Up and it's great to see the exploration that went into designing that world. Rock on you fierce art monster! Can't wait for more.

Marco Bucci said...

These are great! Really cool environments. Love the palettes too.

David Colman said...

Love that you call them doodles..... Really admire you work ethic Armand. I pride myself on being a passionate driven artist too but you make me want to push even more. Thanx Armand


BTW, was asked to submit for that aardman project awhile back....know it will turn out great w/you cranking your wheels for them

Mark McDonnell said...
