More spitpaints.   Still too slow with these, but getting faster (When I can fit them in)  Getting harder to fit these in between studies, work and personal work!

BFP Fanart

Some quick altering of a cover for game played by BFP in a new youtube vid.  I didn't paint the whole cover, just Matt, Woolie and Liams faces and a little touch up stuff, just for fun. These guys are funny as hell! I've been watching them for quite awhile now.  If you need something to watch while you work check em out! Best Friends Play

Spitpaint Week 5

These are from a week or so back.  Little light on comps, a ton of stuff came up and I couldn't find time most mornings to fit this and studies in.   I love doing these though, need to get back on the stick.

Link Ambushed!

I wanted to use the Roman inspired Link design I did a while back, so between commissions and work I've been painting this. I didn't put a ton of thought into a back story or anything I just wanted to practice a multi-figure composition. I decided to draw Link ambushed by some of Gannon’s soldiers, he obviously won! 

This painting I started totally different than any I had done before.  I did a mix of black and white painting and line art together, blocking in shape and tone along with a super basic skeleton of the drawing, something I had been doing with the speed paints before I started this.  I'll have to try it out more, but It seemed to get the comp and beginning stages rolling a lot faster than a line drawing alone.

The First color pass, after it's all done I almost like the colors of this one this one more.   Part of me wishes I had stuck to this pallet and done a more monochrome painting with just the focals having high saturation/contrast.  One of the pitfalls of not working from a fully fleshed out sketch/color comp and just adding stuff as you go along.  When you're your own AD it's easy to change shit around on the fly, for better or worse!

More Speeds

This was last weeks compilation of speed paints. The words for the image, in order from left to right were Bone Shield, Black Skull, Badger Army, Feather Dress and Dementia.  These are a ton of fun to do, just wish I could do them faster and tighter. Have to keep pushing!
