Emerald

Took me a while to finish this! I learned and grew so much as an artist on this piece - can't wait to start my next! Tada!

Progress:

Frog

Spent most of my time messing with brushes and mark-making

Sketchchch

learned a lot on this one.. brought up a ton of ideas - now all i need is time! and another, about an hour. it didnt turn out too close to what i was imagining in my head, so ill redo it soon

annnnnd update - did a quick sketch that was closer to what i had in my head.. pretty different than the first sketch huh? lol i think ill render this one out a little more, so here's just a tease

Another 2hr sketch!

this time, a lighting study

2hr Portrait sketch

spent a couple hours working on the colors in the face - ended up kinda looking like selina kyle? woulda kept going but trying to limit to at least 2 hours.. tough!

Ice mage concept

Putting together a character sheet for one of the cghub forum challenges. i havent had much time lately to work on personal sketches, but im gonna try to get this one ready in time... i also started getting the imagineFx magazines! huge inspiration for me.. totally pumped to get into that magazine one day.... FINAL IMAGE:

PROGRESS:

Edit: Portrait rendering, this is gonna get scrapped for the character :( its gonna take a more exaggerated direction.

Edit: New direction

Edit: final design, still rendering it out though

Edit: more portrait refining

happy monster guy

i need to work faster..

i tend to spend too long on finished pieces.. so ive decided im going to spend 1 day maximum on studies - no "finished" detailed/time-consuming paintings

here is my latest from imagination. im happy with it so far..

Steampunk Guy

quick portrait

Man's Best Friend

Stay tuned for updates - here is just a snippet of what I'm working on. It's the first personal piece I've been able to work on in several months
