Even more Stuffz

Yeaow! I wish I was faster at doing work so I had more to post!  I've been working on a personal piece, putting the other stuff I was doing (magic cards, also personal work) on hold to focus on painting a face from imagination.

I can defiantly see the improvement from doing the photo studies this past month and it gets me super pumped up to do more work and learn all the other things I need to brush up on.  I really need to work on getting a thin, clean and finished line drawing before I go to paint.  I think that's my next big goal.  That will really speed up the painting process for me and get away from the bad habit I have of doing endless revisions of my personal work as I'm working on it, constantly coming up with new costume pieces or noodling with the shape of things.

Below is just the original b/w under painting I did, (before adding color) I've since changed up the horns ridges, the metal armor thingies on them, added a bit more detail to the armor and some thorn bushes behind her to break up the background a little.  

The rest of these images are some of the studies I've done over the past week/week and half.  Alittle light on studies this week!  I really need to start paitning some more still-life's and backgrounds and try not to get caught up in personal work!
