Digital Painting: Texture Painting

Title: Digital Painting: Texture Painting
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Same as above.

Notes: For this class we were to do a bunch of different texture paintings. I forgot to post these, but here they are.
I definitely learned a very important detail while doing these: TEXTURE ARTISTS ARE BADASS.
I mean that in the best of ways. When you play a game or watch a 3D animated movie, pay close attention to those texture artists - they got it really hard. These things take longer than I would have assumed, and sometimes they still don't look as good as I would have liked.
Either way, I can say that it was definitely a learning experience. I've never really done anything like this before.

Title: Illustration 5: Absolved Character Archetype #2 - Vigilants
Medium: Photoshop CS6, Pencil
Scale: Each 'piece' varies, final is 11" x 17"

Notes: The second archetype in a long string of archetypes that I am working on.
This piece was definitely out of my comfort zone because of the composition, color palette, and mood. But I think it was definitely a push forward in where I want to be.
There was a ton of research done for this archetype, so I feel like it was quite a bit more fleshed out than other ones that I've done thus far. All I can say really is that I want to keep pushing harder and learn from what I did here. As always, more to come!
