Sorry for the Image Quality, I will try my best to make better photos in the future, the following 2 sets i will post after this one will have about the same quality thought since i did them in one setting. Is the Image size OK or should i set it lower? If yes, i tried to set the "size" in the code to medium but it wont change :/
Don't worry, they get better ;)
I made an effort to put them in the order i made them from may this year to now.
for the last two months i have been visiting nude drawing session and i will post some of these too. But i think i am missing proper instruction and could progress much faster if i knew how. I picked up the bargue plates and they helped a lot to think more constructively but they are dry as hell - cant be doing them solely the whole weeek straight

Second set of pictures

Gauntlet

Original by Frank Frazetta

Gauntlet Unleashed

(partly)
Original by Frank Frazetta

My first idea was to give him an axe and a sword as weapons. As i painted i got the feeling the chained version from Frazatte himself was a better picture than anything conjured in my mind.

Gauntlet is chained against the snake. On both sides.

Third set of Images




Refrences used: Bull from real life photograph and Indian from a painting
In on the colors are brighter because of the flashlight. The picture is currently not in my possession, so i dont know anymore which is more correct to my original.

Lion Head Study

missed proportions from the original before i got to the eye, so it looked like he was crying when i set it in(from Ellenberger's Animal Anatomy) (i didnt presketch/construct)


Coming up Next: Doodles - 30.11.2015 without reference
