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.
