Trying to overlay some textures on to this portrait of one of the Doctors companions. Oil plus palette knife and then later on some airbrush to apply more realistic tones.

C3PO

August 23, 2015

I wanted this painting to have a blurred star wars ship type background, so that part would be easy as you can always get away with a lot on blurring and then have a very bold C3PO in the foreground with a little texture applied, making sure I clearly define his chrome finish.

I created a sticker spray with a 3d aspect with an idea to duplicate with small spaces along a length and then pop a couple of cut derpy eyes over the top.

Having fun with Portsmouth's Spinnaker tower, a few references for this one, spinnaker tower, a gorilla and an old style plane. I made use of the ruler stencil for straight lines and overlaid in overlay some multi colours.

Tree Lady

Based off an ArtRage forum post which defined the original line art to colour in my own style. Well my style is a little edgy so I decided to pull out the palette knife and distort to look a little monstrous.

A combination of extreme texture, saturated colour, contrast, palette knife and a little implied zoom and I managed to get the eyes to really flow with a little colour dodge.

A commission for one of my dad's friends. I thought I would start off with the fur sticker spray to form a good foundation of detail but it ended holding me back a little as I ended up rendering out most of it anyway, but I tried and learnt something from this experiment.

Extending my series of Game Of Thrones portraits I wanted to use the palette knife as my main brush to achieve more of an abstract look and to really push the colours.
