Poison Ivy

An update of the picture below. I think it's coming together rather well. I still don't know how I'm going to work the character aspect of the image. I have become so caught up in the anatomy that I haven't concentrated on much else.




Here's my WIP for the next CHOW. More info to come.

My hand is swolen

I've been trying to spend almost all of my free time lately drawing. Here's a WIP I did tonight. 2 hours of work into it so far. Not too bad. I like the skin tone ok, but the pose needs refined more; particularly the left leg. Time to get some sleep.

Another Week

Another Chow. This weeks topic was the John Carter of Mars. A character from some old sci-fi stories. They wanted something Frazetta-esque so I did my best. It's hard for me to see much improvement in my work. I feel a bit in a rut.

CHOW 118

So this past week I have been busy doing just about everything other than finishing my CHOW entry for competition #118. I finally get on task tonight, and scrape something together, only to find out after I'm done that it's been canceled. It's very unfortunate because I think that my character actually had the most dynamic pose and I feel that the image is a good fit for a fantasy cover design. Regardless, I'm happy with the way it turned out. Though I'm exhausted and tomorrow will surely be long I think it was worth while. Here's the image.

Smaug

Here's the WIP so far for the CHOW. I'm really happy with it. I feel like I've learned a lot and have a lot of fun doing this one. I don't know how well it will fit the brief that's posted though. I get the feeling that they wanted a more expressive creature when it comes to the face.

Smoke

I'm working on a new CHOW seeing as how I didn't keep it together to finish the last one. Part of it will involve smoke, something which I don't have a lot of experience with. Here's a image I did as an experiment to get a feel for a new brush I've been using.
