Welcome to the land of the unfinished.

Well, here’s a couple of unfinished paintings. Let’s be honest, i’ll probably never finish these, so here they are anyway. Most of them involved boobies and general nekkedness, so don’t be click’n if you are at work. Unless you have my job. 

Clickly for the boobies

Ok so last week my cats fucked my Wacom tablet so I had to get a new one. Joy o’ fucking joy. So it came in the mail on Wed and I’ve been working on some paying gigs due to my lack of having any means to work at all.  But I did manage some time to work on the big red sky pic and here it is.

You’ll now notice that it’s changed size. This is what I like about working digitally. I changed the canvas size to put in my new idea. I was going to just have a castle like thing sitting in the foreground but decided to change that for mountains instead.  I’m going to attempt some textures and things with a brush and  figured the mountains were better suited for the task.  So there it be.  Now back to work.

Clouds

Here’s another in the steps from the picture below. More work on the sky. You can see I’ve started to refine the clouds a bit more. Moved some stuff around. Added some shades in the background. Things are moving along nicely. There will be more this weekend. I should have all the clouds done by then providing I don’t go out and get too drunk.

Learning Curve 101

Posted in digital painting on February 24, 2008 by alentrix

So on my path to learn more about digital painting, I decided to work on a landscape piece. This way I’m allowed to play as much as I want. A cloud can look like just about anything so I don’t have to be exact about anything. In this piece I’m also playing around with colour. I chose to go with a bright vibrant red/orange. I’ve started with the sky as shown below.

It doesn’t look like much at the moment. Just an orange background with some redish shapes crudely laid out. And that’s fine for now. What I’ve done is made an indication of a sun by spotting out yellow on an orange background. I’ve then created a new layer and made all the red shapes on top of it. I have then taken the smudge tool and moved the clouds around a bit. Like thus…

So now we are getting some shapes and things. I’m going to end up over doing the sky a bit. For one, I’m just fucking around so it really doesn’t matter. And for two, I want to really play with the brush a bit and figure out the best settings and such.

Oh and by the way, next time I decide to do a painting in an intense red, slap me up side the head. I can’t look at the screen for more then 5 min at a time because it’s killing my eyes.

Coming soon.. more sky then on to the castle!

Here is my first sketch post. This is a digital painting taken from a photograph. I finally managed to get some convincing eyes out of this one. I was happy with it. face
