Just a little something fun for the holidays! Happy Holidays everyone!!!
I decided to take this painting back into photoshop and make some changes. After looking at it for a couple of days I realized that the barn was to small in the perspective and the horses weren't dark enough in the foreground. I also dropped down the mountains and the dead brush. I think it looks a whole lot better the the previous version.
Painting I did for a book cover. I found this to be quite fun. I had never done a western type of theme before. I found it to be very challenging, trying to come up with a good composition, playing with lighting, painting horses. I think the final product says something interesting about attempting something you've never done before. Also, I owe a debt to the book "Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting". If you don't own this book and your a painter,........SHAME ON YOU.
Some cartoony style concept.
I think I might play around with this style for a bit.
I used a lot of reference for this one. Spent about 3 hours just looking at and compiling photos. In the end I thought it sort of looked like Dagobah, hence the title. I then decided, "Hey!" if it looks like Dagobah then I should paint it more like Dagobah. So, I added a few things, got rid of a few things, changed a few things and viola!
Just doing some more stuff in the style of "Creature Box". Hope you like it. I thought a cool toned cavern felt right. The compositions a little goofy but, I felt it turned out to be closer to what I was looking for. Sometimes, breaking the rules works
I wish I knew who originally did this, but I saw it on a drive at school and thought I want to figure out how he did this. So, I sat down with my "Wacom" and pounded it out. I think I did a good job and you will probably see some stuff like this in the future.
Tried to rock some Shaddy style. God bless his little heart for being so epic. I fear as though I have not come close to living up to his almighty epicness.
Saw that someone painted something similar to this, so I tried to mimic.
This was a painting I had already completed, but looking upon it again, I decided it needed a few more things to make it more interesting and believable. I added the sunken ship and some kelp in random places.
Knocked this sucker out in 15 min
