Was doodling around and found some interesting shapes for a character. Looks kind of like something from Dark Crystal.

You're another one who has great imagination and talent. When it stops drawing, hit the screen refresh button. When it does a box will ask if you want to restore your last image..hit yes and everything comes back working.
Golgoroth (Mar 23, 2006)
I am VERY impressed! Excellent work! But just what is it?
DoOp (Mar 24, 2006)

Childlike_Vampire (Mar 24, 2006)
Oh wow! This is cool as hell, I like that it's somehwat sketchy, and the designs on the helmet and such are great! Kind of looks like some sort of turtle-kin. Great drawing.

very pretty! you caught the mood so nicely, and the colors are perfect.
Kloxboy (Mar 22, 2006)
That's excellent. I really like the style and the polish, well done. Looking through the versions was a pleasure, I love process. :)
JoeNobody (Mar 25, 2006)
this is very nice, is the gal on the left the same one from your piece "123"?
comd (Mar 25, 2006)
Thanks all. :) JoeNobody: no, she's someone else, but you know what they say about Asians! [JK - I'm part Asian myself] On the right is my sister and on the left is her friend in this picture.

Sweetcell (Mar 20, 2006)
your trying all these different styles, and each one stands alone. he looks so familiar, an actor maybe? Sir Lawrence Olivier?
safescene (Mar 21, 2006)
Wow, nice finish. It looks like it was drawn in chalk on a sidewalk. I'm really liking this, man.

Trying some more in this very opaque, loose style from a photo of Tilda Swinton (very beautiful actress). I'm not sure I can pull it off this time.

- Couldn't really pull it off this time. I ended up repainting it with a focus on details instead and did a value study; pretty much a failure since I couldn't do it the way I intended.

comd (edited Mar 20, 2006)
Thanks all for the comments. I have mixed feelings about this one - I don't completely dislike the end result (though I ran out of space before I got started on the hair again), but it was really a cop out as I reverted back to a style that was comfortable to me. I wanted to paint once again in the style of my earlier picture, and this time things just didn't seem to click like they did before. I think part of it is because I went even bolder this time with the contrast - the last time I built up more gradually with the tones. I also think it was a mistake to go with a celebrity before I had this technique down since I started becoming too concerned about having some sense of likeness (the last one doesn't resemble the person in the photo, but that didn't bother me since I didn't know who he was and didn't have a very good feel for how he looked). That also made me start thinking more about lines again which is something I wanted to avoid. The last one also had very prominent shadows and I could feel the form coming out of them even when I was just painting with two colors. I ended up redoing most of this picture and became a slave to the photo again. I'm going to have to keep trying harder before I can get this technique down.

This dude is smart.
terracotta (Mar 21, 2006)
I keep coming back to this to look at the eyes. The whole thing works but I think the eyes are magnificent.
Axil62 (Mar 21, 2006)
Yes yes, quite so. I would most assuredly agree.

Starting on a drawing of my dog, Stinky. I'm not sure this will turn out any good.

This is such great work! :D love it!
solve (Mar 19, 2006)
are you honestly worried about what one of your pieces will turn out like? sheesh.
put enought ime and effort in anything im sure great results will arrive.
Sweetcell (Mar 19, 2006)
that is just absolutely sweet. I want him, but I don't think my own dog will react well. it's just so awwwww
enirroc (Apr 8, 2010)
This picture drew my attention for three reasons.
1: I have the same type of dog.
2: I had a cat named Mr. Stinky.
3: It's really good. =D

Nice job.

Experimenting with different techniques of painting - trying to paint more and more loosely with less regard for accuracy and also trying not to use small detail brushes until later. Used a reference with different colors and weaker lights.

Shoot I stuck this image in the wrong section. It was supposed to go in intermediate. I've asked Maiko if it could be moved. Sorry about that.

Amazingness! You're indeed a talent. I love your work.
Sweetcell (Mar 19, 2006)

Shoot - I ran out of space again. She got flattened out by the color. I need to put in some deep shadows. :\

Yay, got an extension and managed to fix up some of those problems.

I love this. The touches of purple look amazing :)
Quirks (Nov 19, 2011)
Beautiful and magnificent. Years late but still, this is lovely. I love the purple added to that, as well.

Found a photo with some interesting lighting. Trying to draw it with some experimental coloring.

Doh, I ran out of space again.

terracotta (Mar 19, 2006)
Lovely, warm, and impressionistic. These are a few of my favourite things..... I feel like I know who she is but it hasn't quite hit me yet.
Gigge (Mar 19, 2006)
I think this is my favorite of the pieces you have posted on this site. It's so warm and beautiful and the expression, pose, and composition are very appealing.
suzie (Mar 19, 2006)
Oh my, I like this so very much..her pose and how her hair falls are both interesting, plus the colours you have used give this such richness..I can almost feel the warmth in it from here.. :D
DeadlyBlondeArcher (Mar 19, 2006)
This resembles a very pretty Asian woman I know named Lily.... very soft and warm, I like this style.
