Groot Faces
May 2, 2017
I had an idea that to truly test the power of the new Warp tool from ArtRage I could take the original Groot portrait I had completed and see if I could produce a grid of differing expressions, and here is the result!

The main inspiration for this painting was my weird squirrel dancing fur ball, I thought that I could push the colour and as it turned out it looks a little ore like Danger Mouse!
Warping

My base for this experiment was a portrait of Daenerys and I took the opportunity here to try out the new ArtRage warp tool
Xenocorn
April 20, 2017
Another one of my hybrid creatures from old paintings, taking the alien queen and then combing a unicorn to form somewhat of a potent mixture. These kind of experiments really give me the opportunity to experiment with the features of ArtRage and also get a feel for the blend modes.

Started off as a straight forward render of a reference but while developing it struck me as being a little dull so using the selection tool I tweaked the proportions a little to give almost a caricature effect.

I wanted this to be very close to the reference but with some extra texture applied. I used my favourite bear fur brush to apply a feathery like texture.
Dad

A portrait I printed out and framed for my dads birthday. I wanted this of course to be very close to the reference but with a few extra textures and it turned out that a subtle blurring vignette would just finish things off quite nicely.

I simple render from Rogue One but with the colours pushed towards the end with an overlay and a little lens flare effect.
Space Fiend

I wanted to go very digital with this painting and create a metallic type monster, almost a zombie Megatron! This was one of the paintings that was chosen to feature in an art book of short stories.
Baby Groot

Started with soft pastels and then really looked to apply a bark like texture. A lot of textural experimentation here with a final flower flourish!

I decided to go all out on using the new ArtRage warp function by seeing what I could create while getting a feel for it.
Skeleton Rising
January 14, 2017
Taking some texture and then overlaying a face to get the sense of a horror face emerging from some lava pool of texture.
Zombie Cow
January 3, 2017
Taking a cow reference from my parents and then applying the palette knife to tweak into a zombie character.
Zap

Started in a very digital fashion using a hard airbrush to define the basic contours and then playing around with text and colour. I thought I would play around with the text tool in ArtRage for a change and turn this painting into more of a poster concept.
Xmas Squid

A painting for a Christmas card and I thought it would give me the opportunity to use the text and stencil tools in ArtRage to create the speech bubble.
