    catching up (UPDATE: March 3rd)

    so I havent had a chance to post here in a while and thought I might as well start a new thread with some new work and keep up with it as I go, since Ive had a little more free time lately.
    Ive been busy with a lot of portrait work, but Im looking forward to doing a bit more fantasy in the upcoming weeks :]

    most of the processes of these images can be found on my BLOG

    so here we are.

    update:


    Cover for Coheed & Cambria's Armory Wars issue #9


    Omar Rodriguez Lopez


    Peter and the Wolf


    Iorek Byrnison from The Golden Compass

    Nice work as usual, Sam.

    I can't wait to see what you come up with as you delve into fantasy a bit.
    Don't forget those environments!

    Very imposing use of colour. Your swiftness with this technique is amazing.

    Wow, this thread sure is one to watch out for! Gotta love that warm soft style.

    What media/materials were used in these?

    Aaaah yes!! That's totally what I've been wanting to do but don't know how to execute it for "distribution" purposes. So I guess you scan your graphite image, colour, print on canvas or something and have that as the original?

    Great, grrrreat stuff!

    I love the one of the guy with the jewel in his forehead wearing the scarf. I can't even put my finger on what it is about that piece I like so much, but I think it has to do with what is going on in the piece being very well complemented by your style. I imagine the man poised about to set himself in motion. The features are all delicate, and this gives me the impression of stealth and grace. Anyways, this was massively unhelpful I am sure but I would like to re-iterate that I really like your work.

    This stuff is great, I love the soft quality and how the compositions really tell a story. I don't know if you've heard of Eric Fortune, but I feel like you both kind of have similar styles. Very nice!
