BRAVE LIKE A BEAR

[mindwrack]

Thank you Mannequin! spent a lot longer on it than the sketches, didnt really count how long though, probably 10+ hours though :P
self portrait, i need to get better at painting eyes

[mindwrack]

have made a decision i'm going to be focusing on my traditional work for the next year and a half, i am doing a fine art degree afterall so i may as well make the most of it. this means there may be less updates but ill try to get some photos!
anyhow, for now

[atrenr]

Best of luck man, be sure to update when you can so we can see you're traditional progress too!
I like how the vine enviro turned out <3

[mindwrack]

thanks terran, i will try to!
for now heres a crappy landscape

[mindwrack]

when in doubt, add fog

character final



character sketches, once i decided to go for the octopus i was torn between going for a feudal japan design with elements from the fisherman's wife tale or roman design with elements of the god neptune, went roman in the end

like the studys for bs14 !
and nice traditional work dude

well invested time, keep going :>

[mindwrack]

thanks proskurin!
it turns out this painting business is hard, going to get my shit together and start studying properly again so here is todays anatomy and a velazquez study

[Danar]

good work man, i like your last 2 environments ! keep at it man:D!

[Zesiul]

Amzing studies! Color, value, shape, anatomy. You've just hit it out of the park. If I may add my two cents; I think a little bit of brush control and work with material may help push some of those concepts to the next level!

For instance, the materials on your Bloodsport 14 entry, the armor felt like it was perhaps not the right metal you may have wanted it to be throughout the concepts. If you take some time to look into how each item reflects and refracts light then I think you could use that knowledge to push these ideas even further!

Good luck! And fantastic portrait studies!

[mindwrack]

thanks guys! and zesiul you're right, was struggling with that on bs 14, it was a bit of an eye opener! i might try some studies with limited brush strokes and ill definitely start applying studies more
this week is going to be renaissance week, was going to be for bloodsports 15 but i'm going back to uni next week so won't be able to finish it, another velazquez study today; las meninas.
was taking a lot of time so not completely finished but i got the important bits down
