2 Paintings + Some Concept Sketches (Semi-Big DL)

[R Frederickson]

This is one I submitted for PAINTER. I've been trying to build my portfolio, so my good friend Pete http://www.petersakievich.com/ suggested I do a piece based on a scene from L. Frank Baum's Oz childrens books. I decided to do something different from the original Tik-Tok, who had more of a sphere-shaped body. I'm on a mac, and my screen is an LCD so I'm a little worried it might look too dark on most of your screens. Hopefully not, I've had problems with that in the past. I apologize if it is. Crits welcome. (concept sketches below)



And another... This one is a paint up of something from my sketchbook. I really intended to make it less involved/looser, but I just got carried away with it.



This is the original composition sketch i did in Painter:


And the next 3 are the doodles I did in my sketchbook as I was trying to decide how I wanted Mr. Tok to look:







See ya!
