Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Hellions





 



Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Hellions
Date: October 1 - 16, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Sketches vary, Final is 11" x 17"

Notes: You know how that moment hits you? That moment where you realize that what you've painted is not exactly what was in your head? I think it's safe to say that's what happened here. There was something that fell apart at the conceptual phase that should have been more realized early on. All I can say is that I need to draw like a billion more children to get a proper handle on drawing them without reference.
That and I was experimenting with new lights and differing color palettes.
Either way... this was one that needs a redesign from the ground up.

Notes: Okay... so... InkTober has come.

Just saying that I'm on board. Just a bit laggy.

White Zombie - "Electric Head Part 1 & 2"

Digital Painting: Self-Portraits


Title: Digital Painting: Self-Portraits
Date: September 26 & 30 & October 3, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CC / CS6
Scale: Original is 3000px x 3000px

Notes: For digital painting class we were to paint four different variants of self-portraits, each using different approaches. Of course the realistic approach suits me best, but it was fun to try different ways of painting.
Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Foundling (WIP)







Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #4 - Foundling (WIP)
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Varies.

Notes: Just working on the next character archetype. I can honestly say that I have the character down it feels like, but the background needs a ton of work. I think I want to go the creepy Sam Wolfe Connelly route on this one. Have some dark stuff in the background, because let's face it... these kids are psychotic!
