The Bartender +PROCESS

Been working on this one for the past couple of days. Lately I've been really inspired by Kar Wai Wong's 2046. i hope to make more images based from this world.

figure drawing done with .5 HB mechanical pencil on 3 ply bristol. my favorite combo!

castle sketch

Inspired by the Eilean Donan Castle in Scotland. About an hour and a half on this one.

the Dragon and process

Process of the a typical environment painting.



First, simple washes of value with lasso tool to create shape and composition.

Second, further realizing the different elements (snow, rocks, etc.) and identifying the light source while preserving the simple shapes from the previous step. Overlay brush to create a palette.

third, enhancing the detail and light source, adding atmosphere to show foreground middleground and background. Noodle in some details with texture brushes.



final...


added a dragon for fun :)
pushing light source to reinforce the direction of action...

another enviro

merge layer fail-
Painted this one a second time after accidentally closing the window without saving. Immediately after that happened i changed my keyboard shortcut for close window (ctrl-w) to shift-F1. The worst part is that i couldn't get this second image to look as nice as the first one -i repainted it with rage!
