Thanks <3, I really enjoy your colors in a lot of your paintings
Dumping a lot of stuff heh
ew
painting studies with sketches for later
master study of thomas moran and a doodle
a study for later too
The three pieces below was part of my submission for the scholastics portfolio contest : ^) The theme was Sen. Finished up this doodle from awhile ago.
A continuation of that doodle, tried to apply some of what I learned from Framed Ink here
I redid this from a dropped project from like a month ago and I'm glad I dropped it. I think this is my new best piece UoU. Making these three pieces made me fall in love the character <3
here was the original from October, don't know why he's so yellow and his pose was wrong and didn't like the way I started this, so I redid it from scractch
I had to write an artist statement to submit so I'll post it here too. It has his backstory more in depth.
My portfolio is based on the main story points of Sen and his interactions and relationships with another character, Kumira. I was first inspired by another artist’s illustration. As an outcome of this influence, characteristics of sharp, hard masses that protrude out of the skin were used in my work. I created the concept of Sen as a result, but as Sen became more developed I started to ask questions such as: why does he have a mask, why are his clothes torn, and what happened to his family?
Kumira joined the ranks of the royal family long before Sen was born. Kumira was appointed by urgent need from the royal family to fill the rank of General: Magician. At the time, the city Sen’s family governed, Koshigan, was still in its infancy. The main task of this rank is to keep up a magic barrier out of fear that other cities would attack and fight along with the rest of Koshigan’s forces. She did her job impressively well, and as a result, was accepted to stay within the royal family’s ranks. Even though the royals hardly did a background check on her beforehand, the royal family could not deny what she has done for them and Koshigan.
When Sen was younger, he never thought much of Kumira. The generals were all close with the royals with the generals living with them. Kumira carried herself stoically and always seemed to be somewhat cold and indifferent to Sen. That changed when Sen was exploring the palace as he would usually do. He was able to get inside Kumira’s lair to see a sneak of her conniving plan. Feeling threatened by Sen, she launched her attack on Sen’s city earlier than planned with the troops that she has secretly been recruiting for many years. She succeeds in her coup d'état. Out of spite for ruining her perfectly scheduled plan, she kept Sen alive with a curse, which at its surface is a skull mask. Sen is now on a journey to seek his revenge with the curse that Kumira has cast on him.
