Hooded Girl

This started out as fabric practice, which is a bit odd seeing as I didn’t spend that much time on the cloth. Oh, and trees sprouted out of the doodles – big surprise!

Failure Is A Foot

I decided to do a study of my anatomical arch nemesis – the foot. My understanding of the way a foot works beneath the skin is pretty limited, so it came out less structured than I would have liked. There is a bit of blobbiness going on. That’s the point in practicing though, right? 😀

Lava Flow Meets The Sea

Someone I know mentioned having a dream about lava flowing into water, and it inspired me to paint this. It took me about an hour and a half to do.

Hand Study

Hands and feet are both very difficult for me to paint, so I decided to do a quick hand study tonight. Done in maybe a half an hour or so. I’ll probably do more of these – and some feet ones as well.

Melting Crimson Tree

I downloaded some new Photoshop brushes the other day and decided to play around with them a bit. A tree tends to sprout when I’m tinkering. The lighting in this is kind of wonky, but I think the colors are kinda fun.

Feathered Back

Someone sent me an image of a green bird and decided I wanted to paint it. This was mainly a color and texture study – and I decided not to follow the colors of the original. I wanted it to be a little darker and more bluey. Yeah. Bluey.

Hannah

I was in the mood to paint something with long, pale hair, though I ended up being rather sloppy with it in the end. This particular gal is based on the face of HannahHavoc from DA.

Snail

Photo referenced snail image done in an hour or so. In some ways this was just a texture study – but mainly I just think snails are cute.

Hey Lady, Take Off Yo’ Head!

I watched several clips from the movie Labyrinth recently and decided I wanted to paint my favorite fiery from the Chilly Down song scene. I love his maniacal scream when he leaps out in the beginning! EEE-YAAAAGHHH HAHAHAHA!

Nohea’s Dagger Concept

Since the character Nohea is currently low level and sort of wanders the wilderness on her own, I knew that I wanted her weapon to be simple and primitive. Even though I don’t get points for doing weapon concepts in ArtPG I decided to do it for myself to help detail out the character a […]
