Fan Art Friday: Consistency is Key

Title: Fan Art Friday Saturday: Consistency is Key
Date: January 2 & 3, 2015
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Original is 38.4" x 25.6"

Notes: If you're a fan of Sons of Anarchy, you'd realize that Juice is probably the most consistent character of the entire bunch - at least in terms of appearance. He looks almost exactly the same from season one to the end. It just goes to show that sometimes iconic characters appear where you'd least expect them.

"Commissioned by Ashley" (I can't help it. I love doing work that she enjoys.)

This piece really took some serious concentration. Not only was it an attempt to see how far I've grown since I started, but this was just a challenge to everything that I've learned so far. Every spot on this piece has at least two separate types of brushes, most of the piece has quite a few more, but I learned a very valuable lesson since digital painting, and that's to make every spot have multiple brush strokes to help your eye stay interested.
Hope you enjoy.

Begin the New Year Right!

Title: Begin the New Year Right!
Date: December 31, 2014
Medium: Photoshop CS6
Scale: Original is 1316px x 1366px

Notes: As a test of how many textures I could smash into one area, Ashley thought this would make an interesting study to try that out. I couldn't agree more.

Hope everyone had a good New Year and I hope everyone has good wishes and prospects for this year!
