Dragon Mum

September 6, 2016

Applying a face to my original palette knife based saturated dragon. This used to create a birthday card for my mum.

The Scream

August 28, 2016

Originally this portrait started out as a famous screaming scene from Game Of Thrones when the Mountain did what he does, but it was very difficult to get a good likeness, so I cheated and turned it into a horror face which meant I could get away with quite a lot.

Adoration

August 18, 2016

A huge experiment with texture and ArtRage brushes, I have no idea what this is but I did have a lot of fun!

Slug

August 7, 2016

A weird slug like creature really focussing on the sticker spray and pushing colour dodge.

Tree Monster

May 1, 2016

Based on a reference photo of a scary looking tree at my parents and then pushing with a moon environment, there was extensive use of the foliage sticker spray to layer up the tree bark.

Sunset

April 18, 2016

A simple landscape based on a reference photo I took at my parents. Mainly pastel based as it seems to give me a better blend in ArtRage.

Fly

April 9, 2016

I found a really good reference of a cloud and to have it sitting over a creature, I also found a raindrop sticker spray.

Leaf Man

March 26, 2016

I wanted to create an original monster character with a very simple background and applying leaf textures, this is the main theme of a macaroni man.

Face

March 26, 2016

Based on a reference from Istebrak's Portrait Studio which allows any light setup for a model. I liked the idea of lighting a face from below. I had an idea to abstract out the eyes for some reason, maybe as I couldn't quite get the eyes in the right place, so I cheated!!

Rey Awakens

December 15, 2015

A more complicated painting with a full torso protagonist with a landscape background, yes really out of my comfort zone here. With a smaller figure I really struggle sometimes with the detail as you have to be very precise. In the end it all came together quite well.
