A BEAUTIFUL PARADIGM

Wed, 20 Sep 2006 22:34:28 +0000

Hi there

PARADIGM started life as an A3 pencil sketch*, The concept I had in my mind turned out to be quite a challenge but I feel it was worth the struggle. I the added the color afterwards in Photoshop. I wanted to try and keep a slight raw sketch look to her but give as much life and Animation as I could; I went for warm colors to reflect the mood I wanted to portray. And kept the back round simple as not to distract from the main focus, I hope you like It.
Any and all comments are very welcome,

* OK here is where It gets a little Different I actually recorded my self drawing the entire drawing it took 2hours and 55mins to finish and as that�s Crazy long so I condensed it down to a Time shift Video. I could not record the Photoshop part as I don�t have that software at the moment. But you should enjoy my Drawing process. Sorry about the shine from the lead in parts of the video.
I used a B3 B1 HB pencil and a putty rubber.
I hope I have added to your enjoyment of this painting with the video and I hope I have added something different for the CGsociety...
OK here is the Link to the Video Enjoy:

Green

Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:13:40 +0000

A photo shop painting in green made with a wacom.

It is all about green so I wanted her to glow and have a kind of of supernatural surrealism.
because her skin is green the challenge was to make her look warm and approachable while at the same time strange and empyreal.

I hope you like the result.

Portrait of General Gustav

Hi

This is the formal portrait of General Gustav.
(the cat)
This is a gift for my other half, a stylized portrait of her favorite cat.
Gustav is a special breed of cat called Bombay they have soft black fur and bright yellow eyes. We discussed many times how he is so much like a general I just had to paint him that way.

I used photoshop and a wacom and made many many many brush strokes for his fur to get the right look, after hand painting all the fur I painted a texture on his jacket and added little details such as the badges and medals.

As you see he is dressed in the style an old imperial German uniform from the first world war era
with special details on medals and badges.
I think he looks very suited to his new role and my girlfriend is very happy with his new look too.

Comments are most welcome.
