I’ve been trying out painting a study on paper with oil paint and some fluid acrylics, and then going over it with brushes in photoshop to push the values. I tend to make things too mid-tone, and this is helping me out. I’m currently watching a demo on light and shading by Axel Sauerwald andContinue reading “Gorgon Head Studies”

Portrait Studies Roundup – October & November 2020
Trying to use a bigger brush here. My Dragon Age: Inquisition character, Aether. He’s great. Just optical color mixing here, no glazing/layers at all. Dorian Pavus from Dragon Age, after U Ri Sol, with small brushes. And later, a Dorian Pavus made with bigger brushes and a little more hand confidence. B&W study of Astarion,Continue reading “Portrait Studies Roundup – October & November 2020”

I love the idea of her kelp forest growing in a deep water tank in artificial gravity onboard a shipContinue reading “Kelp Farmer”
Landscape Study from the Great Indoors

I think that’s pretty obvious from this study :,) There’s so many things I need to paint that I’ve not had much experience painting! This referenceContinue reading “Landscape Study from the Great Indoors”
The Alien R AZAR
I made this character concept of my friend Roxana Azar, an amazing sculptor and photographer who actually owns this outfit. This image is a combination of photobashing and painting, using this image from their instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CEhOsFUDiZx/ I made a little character bio as well: The alien R AZAR, top-selling galactic artist. Original pieces go forContinue reading “The Alien R AZAR”
Concept Art Backdrops
I’m continuing to try to improve my concept art with some more visually interesting backgrounds. I was really inspired by the art of Fernando Correa, I love his colors and the simple soft shapes he places behind his drawings. I wanted to try having crisp graphic circles behind my more brushy, impressionistic fantasy character. TheContinue reading “Concept Art Backdrops”
