Speedpaint for Super Speedpainting Funtimes Facebook Group

Real Time: 1hr 14mins

Went way over the 50min time limit. I decided on a major design change quite late into the sketch which cost me a lot of time. At 50mins it looked worse than at 20mins so had to try salvage what was left by goin over time. Hopefully I've learned for the next one. Heavily influenced by Anthony jones. His stuff is outrageously good.

The Sadness of Titans

 A painting done for the Super Speedpainting Funtimes Facebook group. This is my first post to the group. I spent too much time fiddling with the overall composition because I went into the painting with no planning and before I knew it, the time was up! I know better now for the next piece. These speedpaints are a great exercise for fine tuning your workflow. Ive also started to record all my paintings as it reveals patterns in my problem solving process that I need to work on.

Brainstorm Design Challenge 4

Very bad for posts the last 2 weeks. Being kept busy with commissions but here is my entry for Brainstorm Design challenge 4. A mixture between a vampire squid and a bat.

Brainstorm Design Challenge No.2

Design challenge for Brainstorm this week. Military crossed with dinosaur bones. Was fun coming up with ideas for this. I settled on this concept, an off world sniper stationed on some sort of prehistoric desert planet. Going for months at a time in isolation behind enemy lines, he uses his training, oftentimes scavenging to stay alive. That's basically the story behind this character so I hope that reads in the final piece

Value Study

Quick value study between illustrations.

Brainstorm

Here are 2 pieces for a design challenge hosted by Brainstorm. I did the first one quick last night and hated it so started again this afternoon. It's crazy how much faster you can learn when your work is put up alongside the best in the business.
