Photostudy - +/- 40 mins

First painting and first post of 2012! Speedpainting, took about 40 minutes. Exploring these kinds of palettes and liking them. 2012 is going to rock.

Last painting of 2011 - city in the sky and environment

Very last painting of 2011, just finished minutes ago (excluding edits, i'll probably want to do later). Now, I'm gonna kick up my legs and chill with my fam for New Years. Happy new year and see you next year ;) .

Original done for Concept Art test, this is a concept of a city in the sky with surrounding environment. My own musings and ideas on it are that the city is a kind of entertainment hub for city slickers, corrupt officials, celebs and so on. A kind of floating city of vices. Damn just remembered wanted to add some steam emitting from the city vents. Will have to do that later. (updated)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

SciFi Environment - WORK IN PROGRESS part 2

Merry Christmas All! It was an awesome Christmas this year but now its back to work. This is part two of  the 'work in progress' mentioned in the previous post. Much to do still. I'll probably post the completed image next. Hoping to find time to post other work as well.

SciFi Environment - WORK IN PROGRESS

I recently did a concept art test and this was one of my submissions done in a 'rough-in painting style'. (waiting in anticipation). I liked the rough so much that I decided to take it further. I'll be posting up some of the other submissions as well, rework them etc... So here is the first of the work in progress images for what I'm doing with this. These are really low res. Will post more in this thread as I find time.

Below: WIP3 (updated)

Below: The original rough. I had to portion my time over three images, and ended up doing as much as time permitted. I thought the image had potential. So, I'm taking it further. 

Here are some of my original thumbs for the image.

WORK IN PROGRESS - 'Catgirl'

This is a very low res work in progress post on my 'catgirl' painting. I've sorted out the color palette and I'm working from back to front. Laying down forms and shapes and keeping to my plans. Ultimately I want the girl to be the key point of interest with foils  pulling your eye about the image so I don't want to overwork the background. Been quite busy of late, will have more posts up soon.
