More New LG stuff

Here are some redesigns (Apollo) and an addition of 'Pan' there some rehashes of older work for a the character bible document.

Li'l Gods - Cerebrus

A little bit of a break from the paints due to alot of work on, but in the meantime...

More Character Stuff

Again, no speedpaints but hey, at least it an update!

Not speedpaint number 11

The speedpaints have stalled a little this week, I just need a break from them to get some ideas again. In the meantime I had to do this at work and I'm suprised by how much fun I had with this. More retro stuff soon perhaps

Speedpaint Challenge 10/20

WOOOT half way there, man, its taking longer than I anticipated but its proving its worth I think.

Speedpaint Challenge 9/20

This was the inevitable slump after the success (i believe) of SP 8. Always happens, perhaps its misplaced confidence or maybe its the need ot lack there of, proving something to oneself. Oh well, its a little early to get existential . Nearly at the half way point and I must say its taking longer than I expected. Good job I never plumped for the 50! speedpaints I initially considered. I am finding the numerical commitment very motivating though and Im sure I'll use it again with different subject matters but smaller more focused numbers though.

Speedpaint Challenge 8/20

Something a little inspired by assassins creed, I must stress I didnt copy this was dont with some first hand ref of muslim streets

Speedpaint Challenge 7/20

This was just an hour and half, its pretty uninspiring but I was/in a dry spell so something is better than nothing and all that. I think it has a more controlled palette and the flow and composition is working okay. Hopefullt something a little more inspiring next time.

Speedpaint Challenge 6/20

Right, more pseudo sci fi .... sorry

Speedpaint Challenge 5/20

Hey! here is the fifth. Quarter of the way through now. I'll try and make a point of critiquing the work so far in order to take positives and lessons from them. Afterall there is little point of practising if you dont learn from them.

Speedpaint Challenge 4/20

and another, at speed paint 5 i'll critique them.

Speedpaint Challenge 3/20

....And another

Speedpaint Challenge 2/20

Here's another....

Speedpaint Challenge 1/20

Right, In order to get some confidence and more importantly a method to speedpainting and general colour work I'm going to try and do 20 paints in the next few weeks. The max time limit for these is 2 hours and I'm going to try and make it all up on the fly in order to learn to be more spananeous and to sometimes let the painting evolve rather than me forcing it. Some/most will be dodgy but thats not really the point. Hopefully there'll be a couple of gems but its for development purposes.

Here's the first, I was going to have some some air craft in here but I ran out of time. Stay tuned for another by the end of the weekend.

Speedpaint

Here is hopefully the first of quite a few speedpaints. I need to get my groove back where painting is concerned so here's to a few more

More pages from the little black book

These are more from my mind than life but thought id share seeing as I have a scanner handy on my desk at the minute

Sketchbookery

Soz for the lack colourful musings, but here some pages from my sketchbook to tide you by ..tsk like you care...

Work in Progress

Im trying to break down my work process in order to clarify certain things to myself and also to see where my skills fall over. So this is the 'value' sketch, hopefully I'll colour this bad boy up. Im on hols to Thailand and Malayasia tomorrow so I'll be taking my sketchbook and try and keep doodling just to keep my eye in. See you in a coupla weeks!

New Paint

This may not be the final version but it'll do for now. Not really sure how I feel about it really.

Space port type thing
