Veneq's journey of self discovery

[Veneq]

Finally approved to show this guy from last year. For Corvus Covax Miniatures.

I want to enter the Crimson CHOW -- I don't think I'll have the time for it. But wips are required. So these are for Crimson CHOW #5 - The Necromancer.

[Veneq]

Getting the old practice routine going again. Amazing how much fall-off there is if you don't keep up on gestures. And a colorized update to that non-venom ;) miniature.

[Veneq]

Todays things. Warmups. A quick head study. And 30 minute speedpaint for the Daily Spitpaint group on Facebook.




Edit: One more before bed. Quick, loose study, just trying (and failing) to get better at seeing colors.

[Veneq]

Daily warmups and heads.

30-45 minute heads


2 minute head sketches.


Most of my gesture drawings from this past week.

Spitpaint warmup and a WIP of a katana wielding girl that can't decide what genre/era/world she wants to be in. Let's call her a yakzua girl or something?

On this spitpaint I was really trying to hit my points for a larger scene (thanks Caisne for the critique there as well).

Recent illustration.

Last one is nice, but it doesn't really feel like he's holding the book, maybe tilt it more horizontally or put his little finger under the book for extra support :) nice colors and contrast

[Veneq]

Gliger - Thank you! And I would agree with that critique. There are some things I would do differently with his pose if I did this one again.

And a couple of recent things:
Commissioned fan art of a draenei death knight from WoW


And enviro concept art (a lot of photo bash here to get it turned out)

Amazing.. look forward to more from you.. and now off to stalk your dA too :) Keep up the amazing works x

Awesome studies, and really nice application with imagination stuff. I really like the latest enviro actually-- Probably because you had a suitable colour palette. I think you should do some colour studies next. See what colours fit together, and whatnot. I think there's an environment generator on the forum where you can choose the option of what type of colour scheme to use-- Doing research through it might be beneficial!

Besides that, you're really doing awesome.

Keep up the great work!

Oh. Just 2 years between posts. No big deal.
Same story with Instagram and stuff... anyway, I just wrapped up a new personal piece. Wonder Woman wielding the Lasso of Truth. I originally planned this to end up formatted as trading card art, but quickly abandoned the concept and just had fun.
