Katana

Two posts in one day? There must be something wrong with me.
Yet another fast one, done on a lunch break.
Don't you hate it when you're in your underwear and you have to do a sword battle?

Dwarf with revolver


This started out to be a technique study of a classical artist but quickly turned into something else. Went a little steampunk and gave the dwarf a mechanical hand holding a revolver. Smoking a cigar.
Looks classical to me.

Studies



Quick motion studies, I like the loose painterly ones I did on the bottom half of the page. Used the 1936 Flash Gordon serial as reference. The star of the feature, Buster Crabbe, is amazing to watch; he's an action comic book character come to life with his poses and movements.

Back to Basics

I did some quick painting using reference from some sci-fi show, Trek Wars or something. All kidding aside, "Firefly" has some great lighting samples thanks to the show using practical lights in the scene rather than blown out stage lighting.
Spent maybe an hour or so on each of these, I wasn't too focused on likenesses, but they ended up more or less looking like the actors. Why is it when I try to make it look someone it takes me twice as long?

Keeping it loose


A little fan art. Based this one off of an image from Bard's Tale II for the Apple II:

ZBrush Head


Wow, long time no update. About time I started posting again. Been keeping up the practice with Zbrush. Did a little head study.

Desoulate Version 3


Another revisit. So with version 2 I just did a straight paint over of my original piece without adjusting the composition which, sadly, was dry as toast.
This time I decided to bend the composition a little more to make something visually interesting. I think I've gone as far as I want to go with this in the form that it's in; to push it further would require and complete reworking to the point of where it'd be something completely new and I just want to move on.
