Too many WIPs

Here's a random dump of the stuff I have been working on after work. WIP for the most part.

Sketches for a new piece, the 3d stuff is Sculptris.

Update!

Finally finished the vendor!

 And another older quick piece:

Stuff

Speed paint and some sculpting progress

Environment speedie

Also started some sculpey sculpting. Here's a block in and some Photoshop tests for the design.

New works

Been a while. Here's some stuff I've been working on.

Helith

More doodles

I got married (whee!) and moved to Portland, OR. It's so beautiful here, I might have to start painting landscapes soon!

Here's some painterly experiments and a caricature-ish portrait of my husband <3 . All Photoshop CS2.

Alice and the Caterpillar

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

`Who are you?' said the Caterpillar.

And in an ideal world, at this point Alice would defiantly stare back and ask, "Who are YOU?".

I thought it would be interesting to have Alice get younger instead of merely shrinking :)

Painterly-ness

Studies

A couple of studies. The first one is from life, the rest are from movie screenshots from http://framefilter.blogspot.com

Vampire Alpaca

Here's another quick one for today, about 1h15m . Vampire Alpaca. Don't ask. I think it might not have turned this goofy if I was listening to something else and not CanCan music >.>

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lK0gYi1YEZ8 Can't you just see him dancing to it?

I think this doodle-a-day thing might not have been such a great idea after all, it's bringing up strange stuff from the recesses of my mind.

Still life

Here's a still life for today, from life. About 1 and a half hours, I'm actually surprised at how fast it went. I guess that means I should have paid closer attention to what I was doing, probably a lot of errors there.

Faces, faces!

My first caricature!! OMGWTFBBQ!!

Well first -intentional- caricature anyway, nevermind that most of my portraits end up looking like caricatures :P

The superawesome Jason Seiler, for the contest on at https://www.schoolism.com/chiutv.php



And some doll portraits of the fun, talented folks over at ConceptArt that I made a while ago but forgot to post.

It's finally finished!

More mastercopies!

Just trying some more master copies , trying to improve brushhandling and texturing. I need to find a way to upload psds, any ideas?

Crop of head and some stages. I'm falling in love with Rembrandt all over again. I usually don't like his women, I prefer how he paints men,armor,drapery and lighting. I loved this image though, I think it's his mother? I saw the image first in a book, that had more yellow tones which I liked much more so I am sticking to that. You can see the orig at http://www.royalcollection.org.uk/eg...t=405000&row=0 . I can't wait to start on the shiny embroidery!

It's FAR from finished but I just wanted to upload something. Please look at the fullsize images.

Girls!

I recently bought ZhangLu and Jason's awesome female portrait tutorial and have been practicing a few heads from my imagination but I realized I need to supplement it with (lots) of studies from ref too.
Click for bigger images.

One from my head(need to go back and rework the mouth..a some point):


and from a ref, the gorgeous Noë from CA.

Whee!

I finally finished some pain-things, wheeeee!

First:

Gar, guardian of the skies of Eithanas.

Maggots are a zombie's best friend.





And some stuff from life:
Dileep!
