Using ArtRage to enhance some art with texture!

Started in Infinite Painter and I wanted to apply a lot of texture in ArtRage mainly utilising the depth of the Oil Brush to define Jabbas skin. I added a tongue from the original reference and subtly introduced Yoda and Luke into the background. The main enhancement from the reference was adding more of a spotlight on the face and enhancing the saturation.

A portrait of a recently passed cat of my girlfriends parents. This took quite a while to get the proportions and the colouring correct. The final touch of a vignette blur worked pretty well which gave the depth of view and brought the focus to the face. I enhanced the eyes with a sparkle which didn't exist in the original reference and of course needed to remember to add in the whiskers.

Any furry thing

A commission I completed using the power of ArtRage. This had a story of a dog scaring a squirrel and being very proud!!

Jabba!, using the mighty power of InfinitePainter and ArtRage

A portrait of my girlfriends parents. It is always tough for a portait let alone two so it took me quite a while. As you can see I did the usual background trick of duplicating and resizing the foreground which always ties things up nicely.

A commission I did for a friend of my girlfriends of their quirky cat, I very much focussed on trying to bring through the personality and enhanced the eyes with a little colour dodge and added some rim light. I decided not to over render this one as I thought the unfinished look worked quite well.

When a canvas is created or an image is imported and the height is larger than the width then the layer preview, canvas rotation and transformation options become distorted. There seem to be no problems with a landscape orientation.

Any piece of art that doesn't fit into a category

Part of a big multipart commission I completed. The first time I had really done some art for a sizeable amount of money. This was created from an initial brief. Firstly I produced some sketches to make sure I was going in the right direction with comments and modifications along the way. I tweaked my style slightly generally to be more of an illustrative look and had to focus more on a playful theme rather than the dark edge I usually employ.
