White on White progress

I dunno why I never posted this here, but here is White on White, another painting I’m revisiting.
You can see the original in the art gallery on this blog.

Plague Finished

I’m calling it finished! It has been a long time, and I’ve had a few crashes while working on this, but It’s finally finished!

Major Motoko Kusanagi – Ghost in the Shell: Echoes

My fake movie flyer. I had a lot of fun working on this. I’m really pleased with the results

Select Start Finished.

There may be a lot of problems but I had to rush this one. I’m pleased with it, other than those minor errors :/

Old sketch revisted

I felt like this needed to be revisted. It’s still a WIP and a lot of it I’m not sure what to do with, so I’m just having fun with it. It already looks better in the background, but the character needs to be adjusted.

Two more speedies

I’m not so sure about that zombie fighter’s lame background :/ I’m still a noob at buildings…for now.

Screen Shots

Very simply enough, i start with a gradient background. After that I grab a dark color that is close to that color range, but just darker enough to show up in the gradients darkest areas. I sketch in a real loose sketch that gets her down just good enough to start painting on. I do this much like how I take real sketches to finish, eraser and pencil. I don’t use any other color. I render it out as much as I can on another layer and then start adding a background. Then it is time to throw some temperature colors in. Sometimes adding lights and darks here and there. I work on all 3 layers at once during this stage. Once things look good enough, I flatten the skin layer and the shadow layer and start fixing the painting up, tightening things here and there. Finally it starts to look good enough to finish. Add in details here and there, closer tightening and refined contrast. Done! Sorta :/

By using this method where you have a black and white render, you can then paint under neath that with all the colors you need, as messy as you want. Then move to the sketch layer and adjust the colors with preserve transparency on. That will keep the sketch intact while you change the colors on it. It can sometimes have pretty neat effects if you add blobs of color under it and change the layer settings. Like the picture above. I think it looks more real that way then the actual painting :/

C9 Weekly: Girls Kissing

I usually never have time for weekly, and really, this week…I don’t! But I made time by staying up late to finish this for the weekly.

BW Photo Study

Just another speedy study

Picking up old sketches

Here is an old sketch I had laying around that I never finished.
I might add more detail later, if people are interested in it.

Speed painting practice

I’m trying out a new set of brushes.

Here are a few sketches

Some quiick sketches.

New paints

Here is an experiment that was revealed to me in a dream. I tried it out and it seems to work nicely. I was very lazy with it actually, but I understand how to do it. I think it would be better understood in another painting.

Here is another approach. Almost like the one above but different in it’s methods of finishing. This is also going to be finished fully. You can see some parts already cleaned up. The background is not even the focus.

Sketches at a coffee shop

Asia

Jenni-Lin’s Birthday Present!

For Jenni-lin

LMS Finished.

I would rather have had more time, but im pleased enough. If i make next round, im sure i’ll have more time since i’ll be done with a lot of the things that are taking up all my time right now.

Good luck everyone!
