Quick character - comfy


This character is just a fast concept in a comfortable style for me. Cartoony, not too finished. From a sketch, Scanned and given a steampunk color theme. I'd like to do some more realistic people when I can put more than a few minutes into a personal drawing. Soon!

Cliff castle with some concept sketches






I was about to go to sleep and had this idea pop in my head of a cliff with animal headed cylinders extending over the edge. After a few sketches I worked up this idea. I like it but got too mired in the messy middle phases. The values work desaturated though so I know they are good:) * If it looks good in black and white then the shadow to light balance is correct.

I wish the architecture was designed better - it is really bland and not to scale (windows are too big by far) but I didn't work on a detailed sketch so had to make it up as I went along. Next time I will definitely use real perspective and map out a tight sketch for architecture before painting.

speed painting


10 minute mountain

blue junkland





I wanted to do another pice with the same blue night, industrial theme color scheme as the last one. This one was little more planned out to begin with. Took maybe 2.5 hours?

I started with perspective lines. Added junkland shapes and went from there, adding the miner/traveler and the working forge area last.

City scape


Next attempt at landscaping with the brush set. To be clear, I'm using someone elses brushes. Huge time saver if the project needs loose and gritty. Going to try something naturalistic next.

new brushes


I am trying out a new set of brushes. Makes loose and fast landscapes pretty easy. Compared to the soft brush I used on the last one, this landscape has way more detail and took about an hour.
