Here's a newer piece done using a different process, gives me some cleaner results. Let me know what you think!

An impressive collection of works my friend. Your composition and lighting is strong. A very painterly feel and grit to them. Do you spend a lot of time doing studies?
RE: Christopher Cant's Finished Work - ChristopherCant - 07-07-2013
Thanks for the comment Jason.
Study wise, I have spent a lot of time sketching from life in the past, and make sure to always have a pencil and some paper on me. I've only very rarely done any proper 'studies' from life/photos/master paintings though; the information doesn't seem to stick very well and I lose focus.
Instead I've found that I tend to learn faster through creating personal paintings and referencing my favourite artists as I paint, sometimes referencing life and photos too. As I'm creating I'll constantly look again and again through my favourite art and that reminds me of the kind of results I am after, so I can steer the piece towards that goal.
So I guess I do spend a lot of time 'studying' but not on 'studies' exactly. Hope that's a satisfactory answer!

Nice works, love the demon with the skulls, really badass!...yeah, the more I look it the more I like it:-)

Thanks Nenad!
Haven't had much time to finish stuff recently, but hoping my situation is going to change soon and I'll have more time for painting. Here's a piece I finished a couple of months ago, got a few more to upload soon:
