    Hello everyone!

    Its about time I started posting something on this site! I have been posting stuff on conceptart.org for the past year. Here is an update of newer art work.

    Day 14

    2hr limit study. Photo ref from Blade Runner the movie. At first I hated it and was about to give up but things turned around. Some of the proportions are off. I need to crack open that loomis books real soon! Heads are tough to draw!

      ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Some updates
      The following are 2-4 hr studies.



      ----
      2 illustration I made for my art workshop class. The one on the right is Dave Rapoza influenced.

      ----
      11 hour study. I spent majority of the time on the drawing proportion. I need to have better planning in the beginning so I dont spend as much time on fixing mistakes. I used a movie screenshot for reference. I add some elements like the blue in the background and snow. I am still struggling with fur and need to give it a more systematic approach.

      ----

      Aprox 3hr15min study done from life. Just bought this piggy from target. had to do a painting of it!

        This is my set up. If you are looking for a wacom tablet stand, this is the one to get! For my Wacom Intuos4 Large tablet I bought the "Rain Design mStand - Notebook stand" http://www.amazon.com/Rain-Design-mS.../dp/B000OOYECC. It is a very sturdy stand and I highly recommend it. Some of your monitor might not be visible because of the height the wacom tablet sits on the stand. Easy solution, put a thick book or whatever you can find underneath your monitor to bring up its elevation. Other than that, it easy really comfortable to work on and does not give me any problems. Hope you find this helpful! Cheers! P.S. Sorry for the dirty tablet. Hope you look past it : {B

              Day 108

              a quicker study. Here I was practicing an optical grey illusion technique I learned today in painting class. The painting is still a little muddy.

                bout 2 hour study. ref from human centipede 2

                Brainstorming for an album cover for a friend


                So I am trying to break into the whole landscape business. My friend Ikaruga encouraged me! Both of us will be challenging each other on a weekly basis. This past week it was fantasy landscape.

                second one i started traditionally. I was painting with gouache and then i uploaded it and added digital touches to it. Ahh this is a MAJOR FAIL! the eyes are off and ahh not good anatomically. But hey failure is human! I did learn from this painting. I think i might be onto a new style. I gotta do more of this!
                Day 117/365

                r10min study eh supposed to be me lol. Iv been painting traditionally in my oil painting class and I am trying to emulate a similar look with my digital painting. Currently I am working on a Rembrandt study in the class so I can say that he is a great influence to my work! I really enjoy this style!


                And album cover I am working on for a friend.

                Day118 out of 365


                2hr10min study from photo ref. I used a black and white photo, so the colors are made up. face is kinda messed up.

                wip for an album cover
