little Red

missed the dead line over at concept art.org for the chow (busy, lazy, life, in that order) I liked the direction it was going and I got a second monitor finally  so finished this one up. been wanting to do a polished character for a while now. Wolf is coming soon.

the wolf for the charecter of the week over at concept art.

little red hood

Photo studies

Sartorist studies, grate resource for photo studies. trying to find a life painting venue and as always time. The face on the second one was a struggle. Subtlety in emotion on faces is by far the hardest  to capture. The other one is just a photo study of a photo of Patagonia.

red circle drape

very random but this poped into my head the other day. I just today could get to it. here it is. inspired perhaps by Sargent.
 Update: needed a pattern

Study Sargent

Asher Wertheimer 1898

It's interesting I spent a long time trying to get the tones right and in the book I have (where the pictuer of the painting is) there seems to be a bloom on the whites. I couldn't quite get that in this study.

Moby Dick

just for fun

First flight

Finally got a good desk and a chair so I can paint comfortably now. Were supper busy at work but I'll try to get the weekly post going again. Also what do you call a litter of dragons?...

some sketches

 Nothing special about a hour and a bit each. still don`t have a chair for my work desk so painting is still a slow going. Just trying to keep these simple and work on not over working paintings. Hey 31 followers thanks folks.

Friday night speedy

Hanging gardens of Babylon. After work a 1hr and a bit. struggled with the composition, and detail in it. '~'

Beware of the Bin Tank

Sorry for the long delay in posts. I've been painting stuff see. Just moved and don't have a desk chair yet so it's been a bit slow at home for painting. Here's a sketch I started yesterday. I recently started working at Relic entertainment so bin busy with a lot of that. I'll get the weekly post going again, promise ;)

Hive speedy

Speedy for today. Getting back in the grove of things. The theam was Hive, about a 1hr and a bit. Got to get better at these.

North West

Moved recently,  having the mountains as a backdrop you realize we pale in comparison to the mighty mountains.

New year sunrise

Happy new year everyone. With the holidays, family, and moving across the country, I haven't been very productive. Here is the first one of the year, hopefully a year from now I can see painting and know that I can do this much better. about 3h sketch

Black Swan

what? what other one. I don't know what your talking about. It must of been another blog. 

Cold, very cold here

More Perspective

Got to work more on the perspective. they take longer then natural environments and it's a little more ridged. However it's another discipline to practice.

Green Metal

today's efforts.

Got out of a rut

Re-designed agent red from yesterdays post. Had a couple of days there of slow production. So I went back to basics and did some anatomy gestures to loosen up. Also went through the proper design process for myself. yesterday I wanted to paint straight to colour and to put it mildly: I got in my own way.  I got to design then render. I admire the people that can do the 2 at the same time. I'll work towards that, but for now here is what I got today. I wanted to do a quick one, this one took a little longer then I wanted. Got to work harder.
Had a good day today ;)
