Finally a Sansa portrait that I was at least reasonably happy with, I still don't think I quite got the likeness of Sophie Turner but it is close enough and the texture and the warm almost sepia tone gave an almost old master look.

Taking some old pieces of Alien art and combining them into something new

Putting my own spin on a superhero character, I really wanted to do more than a portrait here and challenge myself to a more of a full body pose.

Of course I started with an Ewok reference with the initial aim of adding this to my Star Wars gallery, but half way through I wasn't really feeling it, so had a little fun to create something else that possibly might reside on Endor!

Yes sadly he is no longer with us :(

IT'S A ………… TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!!!!!!!!!

In the end this was a pretty faithful reproduction of the reference but I really wanted to push the texture, I think in hindsight I may have overdone it a little, especially with pushing the high pass sharpness filter.

Another eagle!, this time face on, copious use of the bear fur sticker spray for this one and the key for this one I think was probably getting the crop right.

A lot of this painting was spent in Krita and following a simple reference of a squirrel, I went quite a way with it until I couldn't quite get the composition right and in the end brought the warp tool out to create a slightly different creature.

Quick preview on an upcoming timelapse :)

I haven't seen IT, but a portrait of the main protagonist seems to be right up my alley! It gave me the opportunity to try again a little lighting from below which I thinks works very well for a portrait and is not something you often see. At times I was struggling with the composition as the hair never seemed to give me a satisfactory shape.

Another go at Robocop, this time in simple profile, I wanted to try and make this as original as possible in my style and found that making it a warmer tone rather than the traditional blue metallic hue worked better in this case.
