Started the painting in Krita working my way up from a thumbnail. I wanted to tweak the colours a little here as the original reference had blue eyes, so I exported at one stage to GIMP to have a tweak and then blurred with the palette knife towards the end which is something I have learnt to do with an animal portrait.

Eagle Again

Yet another eagle!, I always love to draw these and this painting only really came together when I applied a cloud type palette knife to mess around with the edges of the protagonist.
Swamp Monster
January 5, 2019
I was playing around with the idea of a monster montage and a rough idea using a hard airbrush, after a while I started to feel some kind of zombie coming through, as it the usual with me!. Towards the end I think I cropped a little too much and should have been braver to keep an earlier idea to show more.

An idea that actually started in Krita for a change as this software has much improved in recent times and I always want to try something new.

Again started using Krita and based on a reference of a little cute own ornament. I am currently liking starting with a very zoomed out view to almost thumbnail the start of the painting which seems to lay in a good foundation.
Mummy

The idea here was to show a mummy in a sarcophagus with a ray of light shining on their face. As the face was covered by a bandage I could get away with a lot here!

Reworking one of my first digital paintings :) The first painting I had completed on my ipad using an app called ipastel and using an old fashioned capacitive stylus. Knowing more about how to set up a lighting situation I had the idea of including a light sabre as a secondary light source and with a little of the warp tool giving him a little more attitude.

A reworking of my original Faith torso painting as I wanted to push the lighting and to solidify the edges if possible. Added a lens flare type effect for a finishing touch.
Santa
December 14, 2018
A fun piece for the most amazing time of the year. It was also used as a promotional piece of art for Ambient Design the makers of my main art making tool ArtRage. The original reference was a gnome Santa with the lighting massively colour dodged and the oil brush texture really pushed.
