I’ll be uploading all my sketching/artistic stuff only on Tumblr from now onwards. Here’s the link: http://aubykhan.tumblr.com. See you there!

My first ever take on a fighter plane. F-16 is a real beauty and my personal favorite. Had to research a bit before creating this scene. Done in GIMP using pencil, brush, spray paint and smudge tools. Took around 90 mins to finish this off.
Another one using tablet and GIMP. Took around 90 mins. Again a half baked idea but I think I am loving the tablet experience 
.
Finally got my hands on a tablet! And here’s the first one using that (BAMBOO PEN CTL 460). Again used GIMP, took around 1 hour to complete.
Here’s another one which I just wrapped up. Took almost 90 mins to make. No straight lines and curves. Used brush, smudging and a bit of spray paint tool. No tablets yet so all mouse work once again. Done in GIMP. I didn’t have clear idea how it would look like in the end, just started with a very vague one and ended up like this. There are no leaves on trees which indicates my lack of finishing touches with trees right now so I didn’t draw them at all.
I have been thinking hard to getting back to my old habit of drawing and sketching stuff. After watching a couple of videos showing how the artists use modern tools to sketch such masterpieces, I got motivated enough to getting back to it, again! Here’s what I came up with just some moments back. I know it looks pathetic, but people do post their hello world thing quite so often 
. So here’s it, created in GIMP using brush tool, smudging and a bit of cloud filter in the background (don’t have a tablet so I used my mouse to draw this 
).
Here’s the artwork that I did for some Android/iPhone/WP 7 games and apps.
Checkers Redux (For Windows Phone 7) Artwork:
Following fighters and bombers were made for an iPhone game. Unfortunately the game wasn’t completed successfully and was not released in the end. I got their model’s profile from the internet and painted them in Paint.NET:
Checkerzzz (Android Game) artwork:
Other Android Apps Designs:
That wraps it up. Do give your feedback about all these designs and work that I covered in this post and in following:

The rest of the 3D stuff renders will be covered in this part.
First, the Airwolf:
KITT, from Knight Rider’s series:
The StreetHawk:
Miraj from Silver Hawk (cartoon series), I found very few reference images for this so it is sort of an approximation:
A scene comprising of all the super vehicles

A while back, I was having a look at my old stuff, the artwork (3D and 2D) that I made over the years. I eventually thought of sharing them here on this blog through a series of posts. These posts will not contain much description but they’ll mostly contain images.
For 3D models, I used 3DS Max; 2D designing was done in GIMP and Paint.NET. Though the models are very low-poly and are not refined but that’s what I could do back then. Some of the artwork was specifically made for games while most of them were just done for exploration and fun 
.
First up is the artwork that I did for my Final Year Project (year 2006). It was an RTS game and these models were mostly poly-models which were made from a single cube:
And all rendered together:
The buildings, textures were mostly picked from CnC Generals 
Enough for this post will post the rest of the work in the next one.
