Girl with a Gun

Finally spent some time this week and developed the sketch I uploaded months ago here. x. Since I am really passionate about going into the world of comics, I decided I would get the cliche, stereotypical image out of the way first: a hot girl with a gun. So I offer this up as my first attempt at digitally inking a background. It's not terrible, but it definitely needs work. I'm calling it a success for my first attempt, but I think I'm going to stick to ink and paper for the moment.

In other news, I am working on a final commission (unexpected) of another animal portrait I will be throwing up on here in a week (once I finish painting it). Afterwards, expect a lull as I will be moving internationally, visiting London for 2 weeks, and then trying to settle down into the chaos that is the Christmas season/ building up my life back in the States. :)

Archer Illustration

Here's the finished archer piece. I painted this in Corel Painter 11 and had a blast figuring out textures and lighting. I love giving myself a little challenge. I included process pictures below it. Towards the end, I changed the archer's face completely. I felt he needed to be younger and have darker hair.

Illustration WIP

I've been chatting with my friends about my portfolio and through them I came to the realization that I have very little pieces that show environments and "concept art" style work in my portfolio. I decided I'd fix that and start working with more detailed work. This week, it's my goal to work on these two pieces. Here are the sketches.

The Crow Speed Paint

Decided I would throw up a speed painting I did last night of my own Crow. I've loved O'Barr's work for many, many years and tomorrow is the anniversary of Lee's death. I've been really sick lately and haven't been able to work on much, but I wanted to put something up since this has been on my mind. Photoshop CS4. 2 hours.

Photo Restoration

So this week I took on a big challenge, I decided to restore an old family photo from 1933 of my great grandparents (on my dad's side). The original size of the image (barrel and all) is about 4" x 3". The image itself is about 2.5" x 1.75". My family is pretty sure they are at the World's Fair on Lake Michigan. The first image is the unrestored image and the latter is my restoration work.

Day 30

Bus stop

バスストップ

This is the final day, my last post. Thanks to everyone for all of the support. Doing 30 paintings in 30 days was incredibly hard. I hope you all had a wonderful 2011. Onto 2012! ((I know I have a lot of ideas in the works))
