Study of "Alice"

The original is done by Sabrina Miramon whose work can be found here: http://sab-m.cghub.com/
The original image can be found here: http://cghub.com/files/Image/314001-315000/314250/045_max.jpg

Artistically for me I think these kind of studies are incredibly useful towards the advancement of my technical ability. I really admire and love how Sabrina illustrates and would like to learn what I can. I'll have to try to create and original piece that has the same style and feel sometime :)

Space girl 2


Arguably three... if you consider expedited exit plan.  Lets say I'm going for a low gravity world.

Space girl with trophy

She's a good shot eh?

Expedited exit strategy

Sometimes things don't go as planned y'know?

Nyx revisted

This happens exceedingly rarely but  I revisited this earlier image to fix up a few things.

Thank you again, bing.

Vesper

The other half of Casino Royale. In fairness, yes, there are many other parts other than Bond and Vesper.

Daniel Craig

I worship this guy and how he does James Bond. I love the guy.

Nadia

A friend from my dragon boating crew. She has a knack for being glamorous shots apparently.

Blue night, for lack of a better name

More sketchy than the others but something worth showing I suppose.

A study of "Sleepy" by Anntan

A study I did. Original artist can be found here.

Holy 200th post!

Wow... 200 posts. I guess this blog has become a sort of habit :p Happily, I have some original work to post.

The pool of Nyx.



















The idea with this pool is that anyone who takes a dip will be teleported to
a different world/dimension but only at certain times of certain nights. :)
Nyx is the primordial goddes of night in greek mythology.

Krysten Ritter 2

Numero dos.  She's pretty. What can I say?

Blue Wizard

From my head. I guess I could call this blue night but I'll save that for an image of Nyx I want to make.

Krysten Ritter

I discovered her today and am much impressed. With luck there will be more of these portraits to come!

Orange Night

She carries with her a guiding amulet to navigate the shadow realms so that she may always be able to return to her own world.

Lady in Red quicky

I just wanted to try something a little different.

More "roamers"

These took a little longer than the first batch. Still fun though. The top right is influenced by on of Darren Bartley's designs especially.

Roamers 01

It can be fun sketching before work! I did these really quickly, in the span of about 25 minutes.

These have been inspired by the incredible fightPUNCH aka Darren Bartley

Mary Elizabeth Winstead portrait

I still don't have a perfect likeness but I feel the urge to move on for now. Maybe I'll come back to it.

From reference, actually- from an image by Denis Tangney Jr via the Bing front page.

A little more consistent than the first batch.

Dwarf lineup 1

Inspired by dwarf fortress.

A friend

Its tricky when your reference image is 100 x 100 pixels but I think I did okay.

Claudia

Smoking girl

From reference, I could not say where that came from though. If anyone recognizes the scene, actress or movie/film/photographic source feel free to tell me.

Remember kids: Smoking is bad ;)


Edit: I'm not sure why, but it looks like the colours are very off in the blown up version as opposed to the thumbnail and the original painting.

Lighting and Portrait Practice

Technically, almost all my art is practice but lets say this is on the sketchier side.

Dwarven Execution Shaft


Hey all! Its been a while but I've managed to smuggle some art into my strangely busy life at the moment!  Anyways, this image may look a little chilling... and that is exactly what it is supposed to be! I've been playing this delightful game called Dwarf Fortress and the most efficient way to deal with invaders I've found for a fortress that has only a fledgling military is to trap invaders in cages and then toss them down extremely deep well and then let gravity deal with them. Then you can take their stuff. It efficient but also frighteningly cruel in some ways so I do sort of sympathize with the unfortunate souls who are tossed down. I feel for you buddy... although not enough not to throw you down...

Tron Study

This was one of my favourite scenes from the movie. Yes, it was right at the end. I'm sorry if this spoils anything if you haven't seen it. :p
I have been working on it for a while and need to call it finished.
