Invincible steps

So I thought I would post a step by step of the Invincible painting I did the other day. For anyone who's interested. I'm a big process junkie and love it when artists share their steps.

This isn't my usual process but I've been playing around with what works best for me lately. I've tried a whole bunch of different processes, from starting in grey scale then colourizing to starting straight in colour, blocking in the shapes and then refining. I still haven't settled on anything that I'm 100% on yet so I'll keep experimenting I think.

Sketch enviro

This piece, I was just messing around trying to practice some environments. I did this after watching one of Feng Zhu's tutorials.

Aliens Study

Man I love this movie, its definitely one of my favourites. This was a colour/ lighting study, I'm trying to improve all aspects of my work. It was fun though, I love movie stills their such great source of reference for lighting, colour, composition, everything really.

Done over three nights, I probably spent around 4 hours on this, probably more than I should for a study. Oh well It was good fun.

Invincible

Hi everyone here's some Invincible Fan art. I'm a big fan of Ryan Ottley, if you haven't seen his work or Invincible it's an awesome comic you should definitely check it out. http://wya.deviantart.com/

So here's my interpretation I wanted to try and do a more realistic version of him. I had a lot of fun on this.

New blog

Hi everyone. I've revamped my old blog and updated the address. So here is a big art dump of personal work from my portfolio.

I did these last two at the White cloud worlds workshop, run by Paul Tobin and Warren Mahy from Weta workshop. It was a great workshop really cool to meet Paul and Warren.
