some sketches based on A Theft of Swords, wondering if its worth taking them further.

Finally got a medium sized wacom after having a small for all these years! went for photorealistic/hyperreal colour type thing on this study so lots of subsurface colour and hopefully I learned some anatomy too. It was fun but I enjoyed it too much and spent 6hrs!

[Just Call Me Bruce!]

Good job, keep it up!

[GDonaldson]

Your figures are brilliant. Is there a huge difference in the way you work now compared to when you were using the small tablet?

[GDonaldson]

no not much difference, just less rubbing out as I make less mistakes due to higher precision. I have changed they way I work with brushes a bit, I use very big brushes and try to be fast and confident with them and then only size down when Im happy with the silhouette and forms and then I size down again to get smaller details like eyes etc, whereas before I was too quick to size down and got bogged down in the minutia before I was happy with the bigger forms and tried to draw it all with quite medium/small brushes.

[GDonaldson]

took about 2 hrs on this one trying out using softer airbrushes to make things faster as there is less time spent trying to blend

[GDonaldson]

dishonored style bust for an art jam on polycount took about 7hrs, spent too long trying to figure out the victorian clothing in maya.

Im not really a concept artist by trade but Im enjoying having a go at the substrata theme that Autodestruct is heading up. heres my first random idea, hopefully there will be more.
