Title: Concept Art: Honor Decoded (Masques)
Medium: Photoshop CS6, Pencil, White Ink
Scale: Each 'page' is 11" x 17"
Notes: This is some behind the scenes work on the Honor Decoded pieces that I did for my BFA. These are all to be included -someday- in art book that I am compiling that tells the introductory tale of the entire world for the comic that Ashley and I are creating. Hopefully some day we will be able to release the entirety of the project to everyone, until then... more to come!

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #5 - Masques
Date: October 20 - November 4, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Sketches vary, Final is 11" x 17"
Notes: I think that during this piece, I went through so many variations of the same thing... That damn hand holding the knife has been redrawn like thirty times. I tried good reference, I tried just winging it, I tried copying directly... I think that ultimately, I just, as always, need to draw more hands.
Regardless, this was still an incredibly fun and challenging piece. I tried to make her a bit sexy, but still have that badassery attached to her. I can honestly say that with each piece that I do, I'm trying to tackle something major so that I can learn from them and make sure not to make the same mistakes again. It's fun, but incredibly frustrating at the same time.
