From front to back

Rich inspired me with his warrior girl recently. He also showed me a pretty simple way of doing a rotation with a interesting pose, cus the T pose is so 2002.

Ambush over Kilum 114

More photo mash up. refining process and having some fun ;)

Industrial

Exploring and refining the process for more of this photo collage. One of the biggest challenges is hunting for the right textures lucky I came across, CG textures.com is a huge help.

Draw, find, copy, paste, colour correct, and the paint the crap out of it...repeate

Here there be dragons

Started this one last night, found a interesting pallet so I added some dragons... Every one wins

Started out with a B/W thumb. Changed the scale some what from the initial idea. I was trying to control the tonal range and control the depth of the environment.

More big Robot action

Started this one on a while ago as a sketch. And spent most of the weekend trying to finish it. Painting and watching the world cup makes painting slow. The palette went through some iterations but here we are.

Big Robot

Project Race

I was a little obsessed with sunny days a while ago. The top is form that. The other is just me messing around and losing steam on it. Forgot to post this a couple of months ago.

Red robot redemption

Don't have time to play Red dead Redemption. But I like Cowboys, and as always Robots. So, here we are...

Leyendecker study

Leyendecker study of the November 1933 cover of the Saturday evening post. I love Leyendecker, a illustrator that is some what forgotten by many contemporary artist. This study was a couple of hours, well spent. Just trying to replicate how he laid down the strokes was so time consuming. Though the strokes look almost gestured and fast I think ( and I could be wrong), that each stroke he placed had so much thought on it. The way it help to describe couture and volume is incredible. The simplicity of the tones on the skin is also something that was unique to him.
Didn't quite get the likeness down on the character but man did I learn a lot.

Tall stones

Wish I could go hiking again.

Space Wolf

Star fox inspired character. Practicing process and trying out new techniques.

Morning Complex

Started cooking this one a couple of weeks ago. I had some free time tonight so after playing with the composition for a while decided to wrap it up. I was trying to stream line my process and play more with mood. something that I don't think is very strong in my work.
