ok.. i dunno what it is with self portraits but i think i just hate doing them.. maybe because its so hard to make it look accurate and have convincing creative lighting.. im not done but theres a little peak of it.. i probably wont come back to it for a long time.. lol
the dragon and guy was a practice with color and lighting - you can easily tell that my method of painting was different for each figure.. the dragon looks painted freely and the man looks like outlines were colored in (exactly how i went about it). even the guy's left hand thing isnt done.. but i think i learned what i wanted overall - time to move on
top 2 grayscale images are ideas that ive had for a while - lighting is very important.. planning on making the left one really detailed. the right one i might just make look painterly
i did a ton of sketches on the plane trip to and from Hong Kong.. lots of ideas coming up - perhaps a cover of the 7 deadly sins (inspired by http://blackeri.deviantart.com/gallery/#Deadly-Sins ) - of course with my underwater people. thinking..: should i make them all female? or mix in some male characters. i havent done many males yet so i might choose that
