hey all. had a sketch off with my buddy on our other blog. we decided to draw a character that would live in the James Bond Universe in an alotted time. I made an '08 version of gold finger. hehe.
I was planning to make a painting with a holiday theme but at the end, painting brutal hack and slash was more fun. =) This was a fun exercise and it really scratched my itch of doing a Frazetta inspired Conan.
Ok, i couldn't sleep so i decided to sketch. This is in honour of Canada finally getting shipments of the game Rock Band! I have to pick mine up so .. this is me in Rock band form. .. i was going to add drums that's why he's missing legs.. but i got lazy.
Well, I'm new here. Eka and Raf, added me. I have to say, I feel quite intimidated by all the great art.. so i'll try to post something that doesn't suck too badly. Quick sketch at lunch break. I was thinking Orc baby.. well, got work to do.. =P
Here is a picture of Cammy in the desert. No idea why she is there but desert scenes tends to be easier to work on when you don't have much time. Enjoy!
She has been away for awhile and so was I. In brief this image started with a rejected SW sketch that I brought back to tinker with. I wanted to try out an animated style but the finished piece without some context or background was lacking interest. I decided to do a rainy scene so I bought in an older photo that I took in Chinatown to quickly pull the idea together. I did a bit of processing to get the right feel and focus. Next I added rain drops effect, added rain as well as comping in some background and foreground mist. The color of the figure had to be tweaked to match the scene. I added a cheap reflection on the hood where she is kneeling using a inverted copy of the figure. Lastly I added blown out lights for the background and punched up the contrast of the figure by adding some rim lighting. Originally I was targetting 1/2 hour to complete a quick color sketch but at the end I probably spent about 2 hours and change on this piece.
