Feels good man

Schools out for now... feels good man...

Some of the more recent decent stuff. Frequent updates from now on
i think

Close crop of a Hellboy piece i started in school. Unfinished, and probably staying that way :(
 














Speedpaint from a month back. Pretty happy with the amount of visual information i managed to put in within that 1+ hour.













Based on the last levelinfinity theme. Inspired by a particular jeffsimpson piece.

Fishy thang

So i got myself into this weekly art thing. Figured its about time i start doing something after an exceedingly long lapse in artistic endeavours.
 










 

It starts from here.

Pirate-Zombie-Ninjaaa!

Mehh... so my friend suggested that i draw some muscles and
stuff for a change. Sound advice considering my past 10 works have all been just pretty womanz and not much else really.

Sketch














Sure as hell wasn't counting on spending nearly a week to finish this piece but i guess i did have my share of fun. In any case im just happy it isnt that much of a suckfest as it once was.















 


Its funny how my shortcomings are starting to become glaringly obvious. They say you've improved when you can tell how much you suck. So i guess YAY?

...NOT

Pepper Project: Pepper Dawn

My submissions for the Pepper Project!

Took me a record amount of time to finish this one, majority of which was spent tweaking the face and the various graphic elements. Windows took a surprisingly short time to do since i was working with custom brushes courtesy of M@ of ConceptArt.

My fav piece of work so far, though it's no where near as good as i'd like it to be :<

Pepper Project: Pepper Breezy

2nd piece for the Pepper Project. Another goddam troublesome piece that just took too many short meaningless sittings to get done. Managed to pull off the colors in just half a day after stalling on the b/w rendering for weeks.

Painted in grayscale as usual before overlaying colors and applying the halftone filter (hax).

Background's reffed from a book.

5 0 5

Been bogged down by overwork lately (work that holds nary any appeal for me).

Shitty sketch is shitty. Shoes were shooped on.












Inspiration from street styles as usual


This took too many intense sessions in photoshop to get right. Nevertheless, I still quite like this piece for what i managed to get out of the initial (shitty) sketch.

Bijin

Somewhat inspired by a particular bijinga i saw in this ukiyo-e book i borrowed recently. Fantastic stuff.

I feel the need to try something new soon. When i have time that is.

Animashunz

Not particularly enjoyable but it's what im going to have to do for the next few years so i might as well try for it :(

Pendulum Cycle

WallFlowa

A quick piece done mainly to test out the colors on my new monitor and to try out some new techniques.

First duplicated the painting twice. Upped contrast and brightness for the base paint and extracted the lines from the other. Layer setting for linework is then changed to multiply before flattening. Adjustment layers used to reintroduce colors.












Flowers drawn with pencil on paper. Quite lacking the patience to draw it decently as usual.







The paint. Like the effect that i got here, though something tells me that if had bothered to draw the flowers properly, the piece would have turned out much better :(

Pin-up Pepper

Fanart of the lovely pepper. A tribute to Stanley Lau (Artgerm).

No sketch this time :D (Because it isnt even quarter decent)

















Helmet details were a joy to paint. I like the face, so here's another closeup.










The plane's based on a P-51 Mustang. Figured only a plane with lines as graceful as a mustang would be a fitting mount for pepper.

GRAFFETI-ISSH

Hah another strange idea that's been running through my brain after i saw some of INSA's work. The whole graffiti + erotic art thing seems to work quite well (i think)

The sketch. Quite pointless to draw it half decent since i always end up changing alot of things and painting over the lines.














The paint and closeups.












Inky Octopus Carpaint!
