Some Sketches...

Heyya,

Here are some quick paintings that I did. Thought that they should be here!

Heyya,

Here are a couple things for the blog!
I just thought I should put this work in progress shot of the centaur warrior I am working on. I also updated a bunch of paintings in the paintings section.
I don't usually post stuff here as often as I do on conceptart.org, but it is good to post here once in a while.

Dragon Rider, and more...

Hey,

I got some stuff here to show, and i just added some stuff to thee character paintings section..

First this is a model sheet I have been working on. 

I started with the look from the Dragon Rider illustration as my concept, and worked from there.

I would really love to model this if I have the time.. I have sort of abandoned my last few models because I learned so much while doing them, that the problems they had really bugged me..

I split the model sheet into three layers so that it will be way easier to model from. Also, when it is done, I will have a character that could have multiple costume sets.

Next here is a big ogre monster, fighting a native american, in a future Rome/asian battle dome...

This was loads of fun to do!

Here is some other random stuff that I did...

That is all for right now! I hope you enjoyed, till next time..

Aquamancer

I lied about variety, more fantasy stuff. I promise myself that I will do more different stuff to put up here soon though..
I did the initial sketch for this when I started the necromancer, but I chose to finish him first.
I put a background in this one because the character looks good against the darker colors.

Thats all for now! Till next time!

Recent Digital Work

Well, I was gonna post earlier because I thought I could finish the piece that I am currently working on for today. I still have some finishing touches to do though. It isn't worth it for me to rush personal works when so much of the polishing really boosts my skills.

Anyway, here is some of my recent stuff.
I am concentrating heavily on starting strong characters through honing my wacom sketching skills, then when I have something that catches my eye, I am working hard to improve my rendering and polishing skills.

I've really fallen in love with overlay layers. They are so useful to both start a painting by quicly blocking in colors, or finish a grayscale painting by adding colors and adjusting light and dark. They are super useful for light effects like glowing and for other effects such as texturing. I still need to be careful using these though, because it is easy to overuse them. So I still do most of my painting on normal layers.

That is pretty much it for today. I will post the painting I am currently working on soon, and I also have some sketches to scan and post.

So, until next time!

Ooh, long time no blog....

Where to start?

Well I have been working hard on honing my pencil skills.

I have been practicing a lot from life and photographs. From there I have been working hard on transferring things learned from that to my non-reffed pieces.

From there I have been also working on expanding my knowledge of different media. I am going further into watercolor, and I also have found a real love for ink!

Heh, sorry for the image heavy post. It was much easier to show what I have been doing than to need to explain it! I think that I will do another post tomorrow about the digital work that I have been doing.
