nightmare team

Hey guys,

heres a painting (yay)

just thinking up a team of gals at this point not too sure what to do with them...

nothing too crazy...

one of them has a reverse dream catcher thing (?!) aka nightmare powers (woo!)

the other one's a knight with a panther-ish helmet that was fun to design.
and... a dark armored elf lady trying to get the armor to contrast against her pale skin.

Process wise- just basic rough sketch, rough color block-in under the lines and then painting opaquely over top.

trying to keep the values close, yet having the hues differ from character to character was a tough balancing act. still don't feel like i nailed it down, but hey.... needa work on balancing multi-figure comps. i have a lot of fun and learning a bit. totally gonna do more of these.

i don't think i have much more to say about this one, but yeh..

if you guys have any questions or comments feel free to email me

Thanks for looking,

Marjorie

Self Portrait

Hey guys!

so... I decided this year to partake in national self portrait day... it was a challenge, in a good way.

I used a mirror and spent like 3 hours on it.

 For most of the painting I did not have my glasses on, so I think it came out way more blurry looking oops :x 

    

all in all, it was a good learning experience and I hope each of you guys try doing one.

Here a link to the timelapse video.

Valiant Goddess Process

Hey guys! :D

I made a GIF of what my process is, and yes, its messy.  

I had some, or a few(?) people asking for the psd to this file, but I really don't think it'd of much help anyone who looked at it. Because, I really only paint on one to three layers, tops.

So I'll just do my best to explain a little of what goes into things of this nature. 

I start off with a low res sketch, then once i'm happy with the composition I up the size of the file, to around 300 dpi.

next I paint in all up in grayscale, and then add a soft light layer on top to add a light wash of the colors I plan on using, but that can always change, so thats why I put it on its own layer.

Once I'm happy with the overall colors I flatten that all down to start painting in details....

 open a new layer paint details, flatten, etc, etc... then do another detail pass 'til I feel I am happy with it. then i call it done and merge any remaining layers (if any?)  

really I treat it like if I was painting in a acrylics or oils. 

so not many fancy photoshop tricks other than overlay and soft light layer settings, for this painting anyways haha ^^      

but yeah, hope you guys are well.

until next time you guys, happy painting! :)

Selling/ parting ways with Sketches and Paintings

Hey you guys, how's it going?
I've been sorting through old stacks of art (sketches and paintings) and to be honest I don't have space for all of it, so I'm posting up quite a bit on my Ebay so I can clean out and organize things all nice (and a little extra money is always much needed haha).
So if you guys want original sketches and paintings for pretty cheap nows the time! :)
heres my >> Ebay!
